Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders appearance on late night Australian current affairs program Lateline during their Australian visit for the Absolutely Fabulous movie premieres. August 1, 2016.
But she's got social media at one remove. Her agent will be on it somehow. This video was made and is kind of social media (this comments section is a discussion about her). The people around her that don't send her ticTocks may still have seen them and have made judgements by them. You can't escape. Unless you're boring like me.
Two of the funniest women of all time. Guilda Radner, Lucille Ball level hilarious. Outrageous, razor sharp, super talented women. Comic genius, absolute geniuses! Love that they're unflappable, who cares about what some little media "girl" thinks when your living legends adored worldwide. They know how loved they are, as should be.
"That's what fame is for." That was actually really kind of beautiful what Joanna said. As a famous actress she offers what she can and what she can offer is shining a spotlight on important issues. I wish more famous people looked at their gift of fame like that. She's such a well spoken women with a lovely voice. Polar opposite of Patsy! 😉🍾🇬🇧💖
I love what Joanna said at 10:07 about that when she watched something, she didn’t need to be reflected in anything, but that she could relate to the character, regardless of sex
Joanna and Jennifer are super smart, and so cool. total rockstars! love it when jennifer goes "well this is latenight" and the interviewer corrects her to "lateline" lmao!
This interviewer is really being awkward. She is insulting them in every sentence by pitying how old they are, talking about "tragedy" of being old, and she does not make a difference between them and their characters in Absolutely Fabulous. It is great that they are playing two middle-aged women being silly, there is nothing tragic in it! This woman who asks questions does not understand that they are genius actresses and writers, not Patsy and Edina in real life. Joanna realized that and started making fun of her. Brilliant move to teach the woman a lesson.
Kinlever yes but Patsy and Edina were always worried about their age the movie is indeed about being old for Eddie. I actually like them in this interview all the other interviewers I have seen just drool all over them and I think they get a bit uncomfortable Jen is actually very shy and I do not think sh appreciates it when interviewers just base their interview on how lovely she is she is very intelligent and enjoys a good interview like this one. No nervous giggles
Show me the comparison interview where she asks a MALE actor about turning 70 and what a tragedy that is. Honestly, women of the world rise up and stamp out the patriarchy. Fox our planet, shut down all the wars, free women and girls from the tyranny of men and the token women who sop up crumbs of power at everyone else cost. ❤
I've finally found someone that hates social media as much as I do. I find it more antisocial than social. Nothing is personal anymore. And selfies are so weird to me. It's a sin if you don't answer your mobile like its meant to be permanently strapped to your face. That's just my opinion. Does anyone feel the same?
Yes, I do. It use to be that people contacted each other here and there, even close friends. Now they are constantly in touch with a "news" feed, revealing so much, cluttering our minds and constantly chatty.
@@filipzawistowski4615 There youtube but I think what's being discussed is Facebook and the other things where you are constantly replying to other people's posts. RU-vid is the internet where you can get information and in this case entertainment.
I thought this was quite good. Clever, insightful, and witty and is a nice reminder that these are not functions of age. These are very talented women in class with Diana Rigg.
Woah, you are so right.... about her age... she's 70!!! And she looks AMAZING!! I cannot believe she is 70!! Who's grandmother looks like that????!!! I actually thought she was in her mid 50's. Jennifer is in her late 50's which is around what I guessed.
Doesn't seem like the interviewer knows much about the show nor these two lovely and incredibly talented people. Certainly didn't see the Graham Norton interview she referred to. And Jennifer's memoir was fun and brilliant! Please interviewer... get real!
This was a while ago but it’s clear that Ms. Lumley had just had one whopper of a facelift before the interview. She’s SEVENTY there. Touching her chin constantly, positioning her hands, etc. Don’t get me wrong: it’s a FANTASTIC facelift, excellent work. But she is SEVENTY and the skin is that of a 25 year-old. 😂 It’s great surgery but a shocking juxtaposition. She looks younger here than she did when they first filmed that gig in 1991. Love ‘em both.
I hate when Jen and her accomplishments are left out of the intro after all Joanna May be an ex model and Bond girl but Jen has 30+ years of comedy under her belt but she wrote and starred in a series that went global and it lasted for more than 20 years because of Jens smart talented writing and acting.
Now gurl, just because they are in comedy doesn't mean they got no brain, I'm fairly sure both of these gals are theatrically trained, and Joanna showed a lot of intelligence and a rather realistic outlook on life. So what, they didn't seem to be offended and seemed to actually enjoyed the chit chat.
Worst, dullest, most ordinary interviewer I have EVER encountered. I wonder if it was actually a joke??? Perhaps she was intentionally horribly boring and dry.
Joanna lumley is my hero! The interviewer doesn't seem to understand these individuals as people. I also think it's bizarre how people demonize people who eat lightly. What nonsense.
I completely agree with Joanna Lumley about mobile phones and social media or whatever else they are called: never had a smarterphone or a twitting or an assbook account.
Ugh, the interviewer tries too hard "The only smart thing about a phone was...." "Turn James Bond into Jane Bond" ROFLMAO. Don't try and be funny in front of comedy legends.
LOL. Alberici is a fish out of water doing an 'entertainment' interview. I would love her to do an hour interview with JS or JL and skip the 'entertainment' part. When she pitched her socio-political questions the interview really worked.
I love both of them but Especially Jen I’ve alway thought she is more beautiful then Joanna especially when she was younger compared to younger Joanna I watched her in the short film Oxford by the comic strip not only was she beautiful she acted brilliantly.
I would have thought my fellow Australians would have been a bit better. In any case, good thing for her Dawn French wasnt there too. The three of them would have really had her for lunch.
Textbook method on how to deal with a woke feminist who wants to see films made by women for women, featuring strong female characters. "Well, it's got to be mixed though, in'it?" Legends.
I l❤ absolutely fabulous. I saw it a long time ago and thought it was the funniest show. Where was I when this movie came out. I just saw this asked my husband if he wanted to see this then saw its 8 years old.
I know blonds have more fun, but adena is fall collating. Add the starry, ginger, darker hues. Patsi can play. Go white with black highlites. . You are my favourite!!!!
The only reason I am in Social Media is,----I somehow get phone numbers of friends whose contacts I lost after leaving school...ITS JUST A FERRISS WHEEL WHERE ALL ARE THROWING DUNG AT ONE ANOTHER ALL OF THE TIME
Joanna looks younger than Jennifer, being a vegan is the key i am sure , I smoke i drink, and yet i am in perfect health , and i am 42 , don't eat meat . But more importantly her brain is working and she is fearless , and so honest about the way the world functions .
Since when was Homer Simpson a fashion obsessed paranoid trend follower who was consumed by anxiety with how people perceive him? He's basically everything that is opposite about Edina lol...
Graciously cheeky parting remark 😂😂 Two iconic ladies who sadly had the misfortune of being interviewed by a twat. As always, J & J were absolutely fabulous 😍😍
These women are fantastic, but that interviewer is horrible. She is so off, so clueless and she makes herself look so dumb. The women of abfab are beautiful, funny, and have great timing! I LOVE THEM! Maybe because I am 48, but I just love them!
Lovely ladies and nice interview......but guess what....just found Joanna on the "twittersphere".....lol.....famous last words of hers as is nearly always the case I've found with myself and others! :-)
It's wonderful to hear lovely, cut-glass English accents. Being well-spoken seems to be going out of fashion. Hearing Catherine Middleton speak is absolutely painful and she's supposed to be royalty. Both Jennifer and Joanna sound lovely.
It's quite funny how everybody agrees to say how "terrible" that poor journalist was!! lol I thought she was great! Pleasantly dressed and groomed too... And there was a good balance between she and both our heroes... I don't know, that 's just my observation... Anyway, I think Jennifer looks hot with blond hair and no lipstick. But then again, I've always thought she looked hot....
Jen is beautiful her skin is flawless I think she is much prettier than Joanna. Joanna is pretty but Jen has aged better IMO honestly the whole female in the industry is such an old topic interviewers have been asking Jen the same question since F and S
