Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston I Interview I TimesTalks 

Hugh and Tom are clever even by British standards - all these guys had private education and then went to Oxford or Cambridge, so they are the intellectual elite of Britain.

A bull session with those guys...would it be epic!

They both went to Cambridge I think and yes, you are right of course about them being among the intellectual elite.

+Pinar Ozge -- Don't forget Eton! These two, along with Redmayne & Cumberbach have restored my faith in British Actors -- following in the footsteps of Rickman, Guinness, O'Toole.......💔

No, it's pretty much the support of a wealthy family XD

Yes...🙂🙂🙂

Still agree

Amen. I have hoped for that too. "The Night Manager" is a cinema gem.

Tom's so soft spoken and brilliant in all his ways!! I love you Tom!!

The dictionary is fun! But, yeah to all that.

@@hieronymousblack3364 hes read the dictionary on a pod cast- and read math formulas in another

I would love for him to come out with recordings for mom's of tom reading fairytales for children. I see it as a win win.

It is not appropriate to do so at all you must not

I waited for this comment so long😂😍

Red soles too!

The consummate English gent.

Idk he just does

😂😂😂😂😂

His melanin level ,like me he wouldn't look as natural in orange or yellow (primary colour)or orange red

It's Louis Vuitton

Class!

don't forget that he's modest, kind to his fans, funny and charitable. Nothing faulty about this human. None.

thats charming

I saw it yesterday the first time and did a binge-watching-session. Today i do binge-watching youtube about him.🤣

For many people, they don't even realize they are doing it... it can take some practice to recognize and stop that... I took part in some ToastMasters (sort of like Carnegie co-op) programs, and I used to "blow up" the "ah meter" (there is someone assigned to count "crutch words" and expressions), but I think I am better now... I agree it is annoying, and I have found it surprising that many actors when they extemporize also have that problem! I guess they can deliver lines written for them, but have some trouble "composing" their words "on the fly". It takes some practice. One of the things to realize, as with music, you don't HAVE to fill every second with noise/sound. Silence can add drama!

It is called a word whisker, I had to learn not to use it. Dead air is okay.

Right? It's almost an English trait

Wow. Hiddleston can discuss nearly anything...well and intelligently. But so can Hugh Laurie it seems. Is British education better than American???

Even Tom Hollander.

@@winterswidow856 And Tom Hollander is TERRIFIC in "The Night Manager", too! Just recently got around to see it, and it was briliant.

@@torgnyaanderaa2334 I KNOW!!! Corky was def one of my favourite characters.

@@winterswidow856 Impressive how you start sympathizing with him - almost forgetting all the terrible stuff he's been part of. No, an absolutely brilliant series. And Hugh is _delightful_ as Roper. I remember being so happy for him when he landed "House"; terrific to see a chiefly comedic actor I had loved for most of my life, take on a 'serious' (although not un-funny) role like that. And I was just as delighted, if not more so, to see him "crush it" as charming, clever and utterly reprehensible Richard Roper. So good!

I.e. They're both very posh.

and steve harvey

I second that regarding Hugh Laurie. Stunning in every way.

Told a great John le Carre story on Graham Norton

I know.

He has studied at Eton and Cambridge. So that explains. And then there is British class.

@@knightf8648so did Hugh, Eton then Cambridge

How lucky you are!

I am so COMPLETELY jealous!!

I think he would make a better villian can't picture him as Bond. I think idris Elba would be an interesting choice.

+Alana Veira that's a cool idea

+bryony Caleb the sad thing I don't think they're going to choose idris Elba for bond or any other actor of colour. I remember hearing that roger Moore said the idris Elba wasn't the " right kind" of British to play the character whatever the fuck that means

Alana Veira Did you hear the latest rumor? The Producers are SERIOUSLY thinking of changing Bond to a woman for the next era. (I'll let the shock of that sink in for a few hours and then you can share your thoughts)

I think it would be really amazing if the bond character were to be played by I woman but a lot people would probably HATE the idea. I mean look at how much negative remarks cast of the ghostbusters reboot received.

Letícia Andressa possible Pre-House series? Maybe.

Ian Lenn ugh, that would be interesting

And so is Hugh Laurie. I mean listening these two put words together sso elegantly is so satisfying. Brains!!❤

He really is

True

Real

Yemanya22 'tain't no mo!

Well, he has said that he is attracted to women who are very self-assured and comfortable in their own skin. Who accepts and own their differences. He admires strength and is a huge music fan. Plus...Taylor loves to dance.

@@hieronymousblack3364 I see why their relationship didn't last long now, these were the only good traits she's comprised of.

They just look good in the outside

Yes!

Not a shock the NY times is very small minded if they are not being anti-semitic they are being xenophobic

It was sarcasm

Wait til you see LOKI! Richard E Grant & Tom, there's the likeness 😊

Maybe a bit of Stephen Fry rubbed off on to him :)

As is Mr. Hiddleston.

The NY Times are small minded antisemites so he fits in well

Caught that too! Think the jacket is LV

When Hulk smashed Loki, they had to call in House to fix the damage...

@@forgiven36511 Dude, I love you.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah - I'm going to pretend you didn't just type that - google Hugh and catch up 🙄😅

It's not. It's an American show :)

Derek: I'm certain Sarah was referring to the character.

Hugh Laurie was born in Oxford so he is English but his Nationality is British he could not possibly British unless he had been born in every place in the British Isles , just so you know, you don't have to be British to have that accent, it's called received pronunciation, anybody can have it if you take elocution lessons.

Watch his comedic roles when he was young. Completely different character and brilliantly funny.

Years and years ago I saw him on an awards show. When I heard him talk, my jaw dropped.

guess you don't watch British TV? He's famous for decades. Check him out in Jeeves and Wooster.

so does Tom
