Aisling Bea's Story Has John Malkovich in Stitches | Aisling Bea On The Jonathan Ross Show 

It's because he used to be deaf.

@@dpalmerama Interesting... but not every former deaf person is a good listener. Having experienced deafness MIGHT make someone have more empathy, better manners, genuine interest...but it is definitely not a guarantee. I knew a girl who was mostly deaf whose parents spoiled the crap out of her during her deaf years, during and after her surgeries and even after she was a fully hearing person again. She routinely stomped all over every conversation in her earshot...even those she wasn't part of. She listened to no one and talked over everyone...peers, elders, children, strangers, EVERYONE. She did it at her sister's wedding. During the vows. Her sister married a profoundly deaf man who was a lovely man, sympathized a bit with spoiled girl because he thought parenting was to blame and was very forgiving so spoiled girl got second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances...with predictable results. I truly think Malkovich has lovely manners and it isn't just his personal history. But I love learning that about him. He's a favorite actor of mine.

@@dpalmerama where do you get that from ? No source ? There is nothing to be found he was "deaf"

That goes for 99% of the population!

He's clearly comfortable in his own skin and a respectable gentleman!

i met him in a theatre bar in vienna, youre right, he is....

Were they really that prying?

I think that might have been a setup gag.

Maybe❤r❤r

I don't find her at all funny. And you're on a chat show to talk about yourself fgs...

yaisum he was funnier than her. By light years

@@foxfroth2179 He's fantastic. I forget sometimes how good he is as an actor, on top of that he's fascinating and entertaining to listen to in general.

yaisum did you see him in that pirate series?

@@foxfroth2179 No but I'm taking that as a recommendation.

Sarcasm and Satire...the classic British and Irish humour...most Americans don't get it but John Malkovich has spent a lot of time over here and worked with a lot of our great actresses and actors so he knows the score.

I have always loved John Malkovich. One of the all time best actors IMO.

He seems like he'd be fun to just hang out with and have a beer.

He is an absolute boss.

@@remiabrahams8623 What I wouldn't give to climb inside his head for 20 minutes and then be dropped in a ditch alongside the New Jersey turnpike.

I hope his persona as a gentle man is genuine [I believe it is] - I just love him. Big fan since Dangerous Liaisons. I'd wager his friends and family adore him. OX

This is perfect

I've searched for years for the right words. Now I know why I couldn't find them. You had them! 👍👍👍😉😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He makes us hang on his every word. 😂

he's the J Mascis of acting

Can we ALSO take a moment to share how annoying these " Can we take a moment to appreciate..." comments are?!?!

@@dianemalec1751 come on now, there is no need to be rude.

I was gonna draw attention to the very same thing! It made me laugh and I liked how effective it was. It's not an important question and it got thrown to the wayside. I also liked how John played along with it.

@@girl_plays_ There's nothing rude about that. This format of phrasing things is annoying and I think for me it stems from the fact that it encourages groupthink. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it annoys me a little.

@@dianemalec1751 Not as annoying as douches in the reply section.....

As an Irishman married to a (half) Malaysian woman, yes. Exactly this!

Oddly enough, as an Asian Catholic, I'm right down the middle of those two examples, and our version is offering eggs at the monastery and, in exchange, they bless the pens or the (No.2 lead) pencils the kids'll use for the exam.

@hello what's a poor choice?

@@kuroku7105 Now that is funny!!!!! I didn't get any of it before LOL

What?

Hahaha have you ever met a comedian? Or an Irish person? 🤣

Chris Eveley Why? Please explain.

She's so funny! 😂 Such a unique personality

I would say "Sculpted by the harsh world" :)

Simp

“Fix faucet” Imagine buying your child a house just for university.

@@Yotrek I really dont think he owns the house, there are tons of huge gorgeous old rentals in the area. I really just think he needed water to come out of the faucet while he was there and it was a weekend. Not many landlords come the instant you need em. Anyways, if you can afford to pay Reed College tuition ($78,000 per year [sourced from their website just now!]) You would think he'd be able to hire a plumber but eh

Reed college?? Uh-oh.

@@philipclock yeah his youngest went there, shes all graduated now, but yeah it's an extremely liberal liberal arts school!

Haha just looked up Malkovich kids, that $78000 a year tuition got her an education worthy to wo3k at a grocery store, as a clerk... wtf?! His son who also lives here was arrested during the protests and he looks like a lil young jack black. LOL now I know more about the Malkovich family than I ever anticipated!

she did it so nicely too, even though the question was a bit sexist. I know he did not intend it to be.

Oh get a grip. Everything guests on these shows are asked is scripted. Every guest has certain stories they want to tell or certain jokes they want to work in to their appearance. The pretend questions are just a method of setting them up for the joke or the story they want to tell. It's a very transparent ruse designed to make you think the guests are all these quick witted charming people that always have something entertaining to say.

@@Rowgue51Yes, many shows have some prescripted questions but not all of the questions and responses are. You need to have some organic conversational talk to keep things moving. Based on how he was silent afterwards, I don't think that was scripted. People tend to ask Aisling questions about her romantic life. Women comedians, in general, are asked more about their families and less on their content and stories. Male comedians do not need to dodge family questions nearly as much as women do. That was what I was getting at.

@@logananderson7881 And it's bullshit.

@@Rowgue51 do a lot of guesting on talk shows, do you?

its probably the Guinness kicking. damn! u irish have everything! greetings from Rio!

Sorry to say it, but you've just found one.

@@Auriflamme Aww, I'm sorry. But hey, your pic looks like Jesus so there's that!😊

@@CheersNE Only Jesus was a good storyteller. It feels like everything you say just ends up mocking me. 😂

@@Auriflamme 🙊

That's more funny than the whole clip.

CLEVER !!

This response made me giggle a little...but then I really got it...and now, I can't. fucking. breathe. 😂😂😂☠☠☠

Brilliant!!!

The "APPLAUSE" light is now on!

Well said, well noticed.

Wasn't the funnier of stories tbh.. He probably knows what she is going to say, must be quite boring sometimes

You do know there is something called editing?

@@BelCantoLari 🤔. Meeow!!!😃

@@BelCantoLari to be fair, it is hard to compete by any mean with graham norton, he found his vocation...like only he can make everybody comfy and giving their best with no effort.

Doesn't sound a thing like him though.

Eh. He looks similar. Just a bit older.

he looks like john malkovich cos he IS JOHN MALKOVICH.

@@thedisabledwelshman9266 Yeah right, and I'm Tom Cruise. You should not drink so much alcohol before you post Michael.

@@markmark5269 what ever mate

Fredddie Mercury live aid

Not rehearsed obviously - like...!

I’ll tell you what, he’s one American (?) who can pull off an English accent ... which is surprisingly rare.

So is Aisling! 😊

Yeah, the laugh she came up with when giving the lame joke example was what got me, and I think that was ultimately what made John laugh, too 😂

What about the chickens though

@@jonnnney I’m also curious.

@@jonnnney @KW I haven't personally heard that one 🤣🤣

@@sh3n3ng meanwhile the chicken says, “FFS, move on, would you please!” 🐣

Climate.

She's just so smart and quick-witted.

She IS Irish so...

Who. I love comedy but I've never heard of her..

@@xr6lad Yeah she ain't that big yet and wouldn't been known globally but she's funny and only getting more famous by the day

@@The_Republic_of_Ireland Despite that, she seems fairly sober.

Brilliant.

Bravo Aisling.

yeah, nicely done .... and the "that's not gonna happen" also referring to the 'merit' bit ... :)

Thought she was hilarious 😂 and made that show, with John Malkovich ! Great to watch 😃😄

Which question?

4:02 "Are you single? Are you dating?"

Seriously Johnny Joseph, in what universe is it inappropriate to ask somebody if they are winching? Get a grip.

Interesting how men are never asked these questions

@@a697ag - Actually, they are asked those questions...

Not to mention beautiful

And an absolute delight on every game show I've seen her on...

Yes! 100% yes!

She is so funny. I love her

Starting to?

I thought he was. But that was Johnny English

He's getting the pig out again

Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

Looking more like the virus from Con Air.

Hysterical 🤩🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Francisco Oreiro Rial Are you short or did you duck? Because the joke clearly went over your head, probably even made a whooshing sound on the way over!!

Bwahaha!!!! I’m laughing so much I can’t type…😂

That comment was funnier than anything said in this video.

Why? Who cares?

@@Frankincensedjb123 you cared enough to comment no?

Y’all act like it wasn’t planned lol

It was likely in his notes from a pre-interview. She's a comedian. I'm guessing she has some material on that subject. The way he said it felt very leading. Like "I know you have a story about this. Here's the easy setup for it."

It's relevant; and she can answer it however she wants... Men get asked this question in interviews too,... what's the problem?

Seems like he may hang out with Kevin spacey

A drink lol haha try a hit of acid now that be cool

That was so funny 😁

Priceless? She only charges me €60 for 10 minutes.

I liked your last sentence. He learned it from David Frost.

Absolutely a major prick who interrupts his guests thinking he's funny detest the man

I have nothing against JR. I've never met him. Maybe you know him personally?

What did Aisling say before John responded “Oh yes he would”

Never heard of her

@@tungstenkid2271 congrats

@@tungstenkid2271 nice troll

What? Why?

Still hate her

She guested on "8 out of 10 cats does Countdown" quite a few times - they're on YT and you would love them!

Rodney Bidmade - he’s just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude 😂

@@DB-xo6xh he's prime realastate for a impressionist to count on. Not too many actors in Hollywood left that has that destint voice that can stand out over 100 others. Poor Morgan Freeman and Pacino. They've wore those ole fellows out since they've been around for almost 50 years. Pacino of coarse was a late bloomer.

I met Christopher Walken when i was a young kid under 10 years old (1978 i think it was) Every day for about 4 years (school days only) i would come home from school for my lunch and on the way home i would go get some shopping (newspapers, rolls, milk ect) for this old lady who lived at the bottom of my street, turned out that old lady was Christopher Walkens gran who was very old and housebound and living on her own. One day i went up to her door to get the cash for her shopping and Christopher Walken answered the door lolol. I actually had no idea who he was at the time, but he came up and met my mum and dad and they told me later who he was (my mum and dad had no idea i was doing this old ladies shopping every day for 4 years.

He stays true to himself but doesn’t think of himself less or stranger than the rest of us

Waps

@Zoned 247 I think the word you are thinking of has an O, no? Acronym for Without papers...

@Zoned 247 that's very true!!

You do realise it was an obviously rehearsed joke, this is what rehearsals are for.

@@Sciencedgofood Literally everything in the world is rehearsed in some way, shape or form Lighten up Like you said, it was a joke, it was funny and Aisling Bea is awesome, so what’s the problem?

... Incredible actress and* comedienne* who* uses her platform ...

Makes me think of Amy Schumer.

great actor, first role I saw him in was Empire of the sun but my favorite film with John in was Clint Eastwood's film In the Line of Fire with John playing a very good baddie.

Same

Me too. It’s my first time seeing her and she is just hysterical 👏👏👏👏🥰💖🌻🌻🌻🌻

She'd be bored by it.

That's a fair question. I know there's is one, but she's an older lady. I think it's called IQ?

The Girlie Show in the 90’s was the females chance at hosting a celebrity based chat show. Hence why they’ve never been given another throw of the dice.

Chelsea Handler!

When people actually wanted to watch it

Call Graham Norton, they need to do a show together!

I was totally thinking the same thing when I watched this!!

Too much. My brain would explode.

And Katy Perry and maybe Jennifer connelly both with bangs

Good idea, I’ll do that.

I reckon he would make it sound terrifying

More than welcome.

I saw Jimmy Page checking out the alcohol section in Lidl in Bangor once.

Not Sarah, please. I can not stand her.

Wait, Sarah Millican is supposed to be a comedian?!

@@nothingontheinside4635 thank you Dave. Finally someone with some sense.
