Benedict Cumberbatch & Penélope Cruz | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation 

Look at Penelope, looking so casual at home and yet one of the most beautiful women Ive ever seen , and an outstanding actress, And Cumberbatch one of my very favorite actors today. What a duo!

Best AoA so far this season. Both of them are actually interested in each other and engaging in conversation

Probably the two best performances of the year. The best interpretation of an actress and an actor in the past year. The difficulty of Penelope Cruz's character in Parallel Mothers is impressive and she solves it in an amazing way. Benedict Cumberbatch is always controlling his incredible presence in The Power of the Dog with enormous talent and exquisite composition.

Whoever put these two together need a applaud 👏👏👏

What an engaging conversation-- great pairing! Both obviously respected each other to not only watch each other's films and study past filmography, but share a deep introspection of their work and shared themes.

Best one so far!!! Benedict Cumberbatch is incredible in The Power of the Dog and Penélope is magnificient in Parallel Mothers! If she can't land an Oscar nom for her performance in the movie then we need to rethink the idea of awards season altogether! She has to get nominated!

This was such a wholesome conversation. I love both actors, they're amazing.

I love how these amazing actors show respect and admiration over each other's work

What a phenomenal interview! Penelope looks gorgeous all the time. Talented and gorgeous. And Benedict is brilliant, personable, and quite lovely.

aww I love how they actually studied each other's past

This is fever dream of mine. They need to do a movie together!!!! Make it happen universe!!!

Beautiful talented actors. Benedict is a phenomenal actor and was absolutely unbelievable in The Power of the Dog. It’s like a completely different person even his walk was different. It was like magic.

What a beautiful duo - I admire Penelope and Benedict 👏🏻

Benedict Cumberbatch in "The power of the dog", love his performance.. a man suffering in silence...

Wow, really incredible to have them revisit Zoolander 2 after all this time. I love when these discussions pull from shared past even when it’s something embarrassing like that. I loved what Cumberbatch had to say about his role but I also loved Cruz’s positivity about it.

Two people I didn't know I needed to see having a conversation 🥺

Watched Parallel Mothers - yesterday in theatre where only 2 were there….😀 must say Penelope was simply outstanding in it….

What a joy to watch and hear these two incredible people talk and share about their experiences and shed so much knowledge with us!!!

Both wonderful, talented, humble, gorgeous! Great conversation.

The best AoA so far! I wish all the others were like this too! Both of them are very deep and educated people, it's a joy to watch them interact.

Oh man, I really enjoyed that conversation👏👏how kind, talented and down to earth are these two people, massive fan of both🥰

My heart has just melted! Thank you So much

Such an honest conversation with so much emotion and understanding with two amazing character actors . So much appreciation for an eye into these two complicated films . Thank you 🙏👏🏻❤️ I agree with Penelope I love being transported at the cinema into the characters world…..I believe everything for that hour and a half ……..pure magic 🧚🏻

How deeply this talk goes, love it!!! 😍😍😍

I just died, two of my most favourite actors together😳💚

Beautiful and talented people

Congrats to both of them for their Oscar nominations. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I loved Penelope in Parallel Mothers she was incredible. Her and Pedro work so well together. Pedro is one of my all time favourite directors.

que linda charla, quiero verlos juntos en una peli ya!

How do you just not fall in love with Penelope ?!! She is so smart, very talented, and devastatingly beautiful. Both great great actors !!

I can only watch this great format after I watch the movies. There are spoilers here that I'm not aware of. Unfortunately I have to stop half way. Great talents these two.

I love listening to Benny C talk

If there is any justice in the world, they’ll each win the Oscar for their incredible performances this year.

I love Penelope cruz and Bennie as actors

Thank-you both sooo much, this valentines day I found a good hour to rewatch some yt videos, don't forget about us, we all live through your roles, hence *respect

Such an honest interview. Two talented beautiful actors ♥️

Loved this!! I have to admit that I'm usually quite cautious about liking actors and assuming their good people as I always feel there are some people/actors who are great at pretending to be good and kind, but these two give of such good vibes (there are some actors for example who are considered kind and humble by many but who give me bad/weird vibes, like I feel that there's something below the surface...) But these to both seem genuinely humble and in love with making movies. And there's a true conversation going on where they listen to each other and care about what the other has to say. Awesome to see!!

Penelope Cruz absolutely deserves the Oscar for her exceptional performance in Parallel mothers. Excellent movie

Nominated and Nominated Oscars 2022.

They need to work together ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so lovely both

Penelope Cruz is honestly Perfection I liked her in the 355 I would love to see her more in the movies. 😍😍😍

Well that was amazing

12:07 For fans of The Power of the Dog, something you might've missed with the initialed Bronco Henry handkerchief and the earlier waiter's arm-cloth. Peter told Phil the arm-cloth was "only for wine drips" and Phil made fun, saying "only for the drips", knowing that his beloved handkerchief was also "for the drips" (his drips out of his you-know-what)

My God she's gorgeous!

They both are gonna get the nomination this year. Fingers crossed. P.S: do urself a favor and watch Parallel Mothers

Sus rostros.... ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Benedict always ❤️

I think you need to put an spoiler alert on this interview. Madres paralelas is still not in cinemas around the world

Both should win the acting Oscars. Incredible performances!

Awesome

People are upset about Benedict portraying a person in LGBTQ but you don't complain about Rami Malek or Taron Egerton or Jake Gyllenhaal or Heath Ledger many straight actors have done this so stop complaining

Class acts

Benedict: Other performers that are not your husband? Penelope: *talks about her husband ❤🥰😍🤩

Penelope😍😍😍

Penelope Cruz es la perfeccion hecha Mujer. Y se da el lujazo de charlar con el Hechicero Supremo. De nada, multiverso.

Los movimientos de manos al contar algo nunca fallan en un@ español@ con diferencia con otros actores 🙂

Okay, the mustache is kinda of growing on me....

Smaug The Dragon and Angelica from Pirates 4 in an interview.

Imagine looking that gorgeous from that angle. God really put his effort on Penelope.

Please invite Penelope and tom cruise together in conversation

Penelope Cruz is just naturally beautiful 😍

These are the people you learn from.

Whoever comes up with these duos knows how to do his or her job too well

Wouldn't it be fab if both Javier and Penelope won on Oscar night 🙋🏻‍♀️

🥰✨❤‍🔥✨😱Over the moon! THANK 🌷🌻🌹✨🙏🏽✨

Oh God
