Colin Firth talks to the Russian journalist Lena Key his upbringing and appreciation for Russian literature. 'Kingsman: the Golden circle' is out in cinemas now!
I have noticed this so many times he always turns an interview into a comfortable conversation.... Like he wants to know the interviewer's opinion... Making them feel important. Not everyone does that. ❤❤
WOW! Am so thankful to the Russian interviewer Lena Key - great questions and great answers... if she had not asked, we would have never known he devoured all of Dostoievski's creations and many other authors! He is probably the most cultured man in his profession and in many other professions... And what an amazing reply, associating Russians with literature, beautiful... No doubt he also read many other books from universal literature, but no one asked, except in those radio interviews (Desert Island etc) Btw, he blushes in the end, when he hears he is very much loved in Russsia, and looks surprised, how sweet...
Thing is, posh is a social construct. No one is born better than anyone else, people get better than others in some ways by development, but never by birth.
Intense questions, but also very apt given the stereo typing through the more accepted narrative of western history books. Good on her and good answers too.
I found tis interview quite interesting really. I've only ever seen the interview and the space of it being drawn to Colin, since he brings so much presence anywhere. But seeing space captivated by the interviewer was new. And it made a rather intriguing interview too, where they're both having a discusstion/conversation, although Colin, unexpectedly, did a little bit like he was answering to her.
He said he tries to be reasonably polite... if only the world at large had this kind of gentility and social acumen. We all have our moments of good days and bad but wouldn't it be lovely to enjoy social discourse with more people like Colin? He's a true gem.
As a young man in early 20s, I find Lena very attractive and charming with her accent and suit. I wish she was my wife even if she had been married to someone else.
Hi, Sonya, Lena covers for me when I'm busy doing other work. And she is absolutely wonderful, indeed! :) You can look up these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5sfrwEkZ4dI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RykL6hh2yI0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KW1YJSI4TBA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sj6yi-7-FDY.html
yep! thanks for not fighting Russians - our life here, in Russia, is already full of absurd, agression, injustice and numerous other things (mostly the bad ones), so it would really tiring and overwhelming to watch smth else about us in such a great movie - as well as read all that crap that our media would produce afterwards. Amazing interview. And the journalist is very professional - which is a really nice surprise for a change (e.g. RT's "journalists"). Colin is aaaaawesome)
Haha ha ha.... well I've never met a homeless man, or bumped into someone on a council block with Colin's accent...... unless they was lost. Because working class People who aren't posh don't speak like fucking butlers.
Even when interviewing she seems aggressive. Are all Russian taught to be so defensive about everything? I feel bad for Colin having to dodge her questions.
