Join Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg as they discuss their new film, "Florence Foster Jenkins." In the 1940s, New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) dreams of becoming a great opera singer. Unfortunately, her ambition far exceeds her talent. The voice Florence hears in her head is beautiful, but to everyone else it is quite lousy. Her husband St. Clair (Grant) goes to extreme lengths to make sure his wife never finds out how awful she truly is. When Florence announces her plans for a concert at Carnegie Hall, St. Clair soon realizes that he's facing his greatest challenge yet.

I feel sorry for actors of this quality who have to put up with rude, off-putting interviewers like this forgettable woman

@MsVolksOnlineClassroom 7 лет назад

This interviewer did NOT do her homework. Hugh and Simon are both clearly uncomfortable.

@Rotebuehl1 4 месяца назад

What "homework" was she supposed to have done?

@sammymannion8259 8 лет назад

"This movie is more a question than it is a statement." I like that. That's a great evaluation.

@monathearabiandhampir 7 лет назад

Just wow. How sad that this unprofessional, livid, miserable, and condescending woman gets an opportunity to meet Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg, gets to interview and discuss a fantastic film, and works & lives in NYC! There's so much unfairness in life!! Sigh... I do love the interaction between Hugh and Simon and their subtle humor in their responses and comments as if they're about the film or the question but indirectly mocking the hostess such as in answering her question "what was the most enjoyable parts of the the shoot for both of you?", and Hugh looks at Simon, who had his lips pressed hard, and says, "I can't remember enjoying anything," and Simon chuckles and says, "misery"! :P

@HaninAbuAlrub 8 лет назад

I just feel the pain Hugh is going through because of this woman... My god she knows nothing about hosting... Even the audience come alive when both actors talk together...

@orinochochaplin3121 7 лет назад

ill say this for hugh grant, he's generous with his insights and he's brave.

@constancehuntsman9774 7 лет назад

I agree, Simon and Hugh did a wonderful and "intriguing" job keeping it together with such an "abysmal" host. They are hilarious in other interviews. Too bad there wasn't the breathing space to be that way here. I couldn't watch the whole interview even though I love them. They are amazing actors. Hugh's honest look into himself during this interview and others is refreshing. Wish he did more work. I can't wait to see them in other roles. I loved the movie. One of my all time favorites. Lol funny and uplifting. Bravo.

@ejbae780 Год назад

I love how they started to ignore her mid interview and talk to each other

@relocatetoItaly 8 лет назад

at 12.50 she completely argues with Hugh about his political work being equivilent to a show review, although Hugh clearly stated they were completely different.

@BeeLZBeeb 2 года назад

She’s a knob, she also used the word ‘quaint’ with a straight face

Simon made this movie. He is very hard to replace. They would never find another actor who plays the piano so perfect with the facial expressions of Simon.

@MusicCollaborator 8 лет назад

Hugh Grant's voice. He makes saying "Stahhsi" sound sexy.

@conniegee8664 7 лет назад

"I'm a great believer in lying...honesty is greatly overrated!" (Hugh Grant, 9:06 min). Both actors act very nervously and I think it's because both are in disbelief of the questions posed by the interviewer. She reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell.

@skadoink1736 6 лет назад

omg! did the interview really just equate getting a bad review in the press with a murder victims cellphone getting hacked?

@aroyaliota 7 месяцев назад

Hugh did that. Though I enjoy his work, and I find him personable, he’s a bit of a nob. He reveals himself with his statement, “honesty is overrated.” When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

@alleyh3961 7 лет назад

As an interviewer you're suppossed to try to connect with the person your interviewing in a respectful and professional way without crossing the line.. and it looks like you made Hugh so uncomfortable at times that He rather engage conversation with Simon and forget that you're even there.

@finbarrdarcy5929 4 года назад

This isn’t the first time this woman has interviewed Grant, and you can tell by how drearily he says ‘hi’ at the start.

@debbiedunn9589 8 лет назад

I can't say if it's the interviewer or the small venue that they sit in. But it does have an uncomfortable feel. Hugh Grant is always Self Deprecating and funny. The audience responds. And the host doesn't ever laugh. It's weird..

@silvanamariaga2281 7 лет назад

@rachelgrunberg9828 7 лет назад

Sheesh! Someone buy up all the newspapers of Donna's interview and dump them in the trash

@silvanamariaga2281 7 лет назад

And Hugh's lovely sense of irony is quiet lost on her....who is she??? Is she well known in the US????

@dianacambridge38 6 лет назад

To Sil M ..... No. No, she is NOT, I daresay. I've worked in media, am a cinephile, search out IRL interviews, enjoy talk shows when well done. Have never heard of or viewed this interviewer before. Found several of her questions kind of weird, and her being so flippant and sardonic -- esp. with Hugh Grant -- made me very uncomfortable. It sure does appear that most of the people commenting on this thread are pretty much in agreement with that.

@rumblefish9 3 года назад

@@dianacambridge38 She was just condescending. Hugh talks about Hacked Off and corrects her assumptions but she insists she was right. Like wtf. Hugh literally has spent more than 6 years of his life deeply entrenched in the movement.

@blamania93 6 лет назад

What an incredibly ignorant interviewer completely ignoring the responses of her guests and giving opinion on things she obviously knows nothing about. This is an incredibly sensitive film about a woman yes with somewhat overflown aspirations but an incredible supporter of music of the time. Also a woman who obviously overcame some major physical disabilities. She ignored Hugh Grants response to what Hacked Off is about and when he said it was nothing like his characters buying off the press she was terribly rude disagreeing with him about something he knows a great deal about and she knows nothing about apparently. Hugh Grant has done a lot of good things with the Hacked Off campaign. 0/5 interviewer for not putting your guests at ease and arguing with or dismissing the answers given by them. Now I am hacked off.

I agree - Dumb questions - If they had not protected Florence there would not have been a story AADAA

@rumblefish9 3 года назад

what a terrible interviewer! At 12:51 Hugh explains what Hacked Off is, she doesn't listen and insists she's right when she is absolutely wrong. You can clearly see Grant souring through this interview but since he's proper and polite, he doesn't tell her off. What a strange, condescending interviewer.

@BixbysDad 7 лет назад

Is it me, or was the host flat, unlikable, and border line rude at times? She turned me off completely from this interview. I found her talking "down" to Hugh and Simon at times, completely inept at her job. What did everyone else think?

@Aebouloukos 3 года назад

Exactly

@stac3426 3 года назад

She totally got what Hugh Grant does in regards to the media wrong and then said she was still kind of right. She was wrong.

@JH-sh8mj 7 лет назад

Cringeworthy interview! The interviewer clearly thinks she's more interesting and clever than she is! To talk about Hacked Off and not understand a single thing about the phone hacking scandal is ridiculous! Thank goodness her guests were able to salvage it! Hugh Grant seemed rather perplexed by her inability to interview properly!

This film puts you in such an embarrassing situation, as a spectator. You feel sorry for Florence and for the people in general. It is so disturbing and magical at the same time. I never felt like this before, about a film. It is a very surprising work of art and it shows the magic of the movies. 10/10

@flaviarenevey6719 4 года назад

It was almost painful watching Simon being so nervous around Hugh, although he tried to make him comfortable.

@rumblefish9 3 года назад

Props to Hugh for trying to get him involved. Honestly, this whole interview would have been better with just the two of them. Let Hugh take the reigns in asking the questions and just let Simon get comfortable.

@pianoman551000 7 лет назад

Simon Helberg knows that he is a definite contender for best supporting actor for next year's Academy Award .....and, of course, Ms.Streep will be nominated for her 20th Oscar nomination(!!!!!!!) for best actress! It's a good move for Helberg to appear in this movie, as he can start planning his next career move after Big Bang is cancelled.

@maryannewhite7300 7 лет назад

Hugh Grant is enchanting as always. But that interviewer needs to find another job ~ working alone in a one-person office. She's horrible, stiff, and devoid of charm.

@KrisMayeaux 8 лет назад

Although a bad singer, Florence Foster Jenkins had a lot of love and was very generous. The interviewer here is crude and cruel. I was really surprised at Simon Helberg who says that he was lucky his ears were never "tainted" by Florence's "shrill flailing" until this movie. Well, I don't think he was very well known till this movie. I mean, they don't have to be cruel. I thought Florence's singing was highly entertaining, amusing & unique, but they are showing pure contempt for her.

@shivgodi3365 5 лет назад

Tainted, should not have been used.

@dabedwards 7 лет назад

Surprised that Aol have put their name to this technically woeful effort. With the three particpants having to hold their mikes, it's no wonder nobody could relax into conversation. The sound department was clearly under-resourced (The two blasts of extraneous music up front did not help). The tendency of hand-mikes to "pop" was a constant distraction. The setting was pretty awful, and to give the particpants three obviously uncomfortable and precarious high chairs did not help. If they could afford 4 manned cameras, tracking shots etc, why stint on the rest? I felt a bit sorry for the interviewer who did not stand much of a chance under such circumstances, and whose inexperience was cruelly exposed as a result.

@christinewendt3660 5 лет назад

Yes the technical aspects were painfully amateurish but the interviewer was even worse than amateurish. She did not do any of the basic pre-interview research that is part of the *job* ffs.

@rumblefish9 3 года назад

The interviewer was worst. Technical issues aside, those issues can be disregarded if you have an engaging interview. And Donna was just flat and condescending. Look up Grant's interview with Janelle Riley from Variety for SAG-AFTRA for an example of an amazing interview.

@Wild20099 7 лет назад

when the host ask them if they think Florence Could be possible today, who knows if she would fit today's Classical music scene, music lovers are not demanding as before,new generations are more about the looks and the celebrity factor, in Pop Music and other genres theres a lot of singers that are succesful because all of the money their family or their record companies invest on them, a lot of of the top 10 singers are deaf tone or doesn´t hit their notes at all(britney spears, katy perry, rihanna, taylor swift and so on).

@christinewendt3660 5 лет назад

More to the point: why didn’t they hire a competent interviewer? Somebody knows where some bodies are buried, and this clueless woman is their daughter.

@tracyc.7746 11 дней назад

Is she really insisting on equating crime victims and their families being taken advantage of by the press with film reviews and celebrity gossips? Even after the conversation was very politely and elegantly rescued by Hugh, she just wouldn’t let it go. Some people need to learn how to admit mistakes, receive feedback and own up to them.

@joellegavin1760 7 месяцев назад

@dvdgalutube 6 лет назад

It’s miserable to watch this interview. For one the host would not admit her opinions were ever wrong. Two she was way too judgmental as an interviewer. I think it’s wonderful that the society is more able to see that it’s important women have voices and opinion of their own; however in my opinion if you are an interviewer then your number one priority on the job is to help your guests to express their insights on the subjects of discussion, but not forcing your thoughts on your guests’ answer to create awkward atmosphere or dead silence. Especially this is not a political/current news interview.
