JM is so mysterious. He plays such cold characters, he's so quirky, and yet he strikes me as so very sweet. Clearly a highly intelligent, complex man who has managed to remain really humble despite his stardom. 😍
He says as a boy he was beaten up every day by his brother and his mother did nothing to stop it. He drew on that brother for certain characters he played.
Craig, in my humble opinion, is on par with Johnny Carson. When he left the Late Late Show, he left a huge gap in entertainment. John Malkovich is precious, as an actor and as a guest. The awkward pause was the best.
Yes I what Johnny Carson live and I completely agree with you. I put Johnny Carson and Craig Ferguson in their own League. At ease with everyone and everyone at ease with them. A fact I even think the stars were sometimes more comfortable on Craig Ferguson show than they were at Johnny Carson.
Love and miss Craig's show on the air. John is so cute when he laughs, it's like a full-body giggle. Love his sense of humor too: "How do we know he's not a good actor?" 😂
@@jonathanrex My thoughts exactly. I'd enjoy his company. Any accomplished screen actor who would agree to do a completely demented movie like "being John Malkovich" must be a cool guy
His accent is intriguing. I guess it is from living in different countries? Doesn't seem weird to me. He just doesn't adjust himself for the talk-show setup. I admire him for that.
These two are the best in terms of chemistry, both so intelligent, charismatic and gifted with extremely delightful personalities/ who actually have interesting ideas to share. The talented Mr Malcovich is himself on and off stage it seems with a slight variance in range from comedic to villainous roles, but always endearing somehow which is his magic. I could watch these two interact all day, it would be addictive. ❤☺
John Malkovich is one of the best in my opinion. He looks like a guy you could just hang out with at a bonfire and talk forever about anything. He just seems like a very wise and nice man✌❤
Craig's show was mostly about Craig... and that's what works best for him. The stature of some guests requires Craig to be a bit more attentive and interrupt less. Those of us who love Craig would rather see him doing his goofy quick-witted persona, but I think it shows a measure of maturity to scale it back for certain guests. I thought he was just fine with Malkovich, and Malkovich showed appreciation and good humor for Craig's humor numerous times. Actually, I'm amazed how well he does with the prima Donas like Harrison Ford, Keanu, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Russel Crowe, et al. The mega stars seem genuinely relieved to be on a show that treats them like normal knuckleheads instead of the huge celebrities they are. Craig had immense talent for putting these folks at ease (as much as these people can ever be at ease, anyway). Ah, Craig... we miss ya laddie! You've had your respite now, so why not return to being a late night douche? That would be great...
Love JM giggles. It's so precious but none of these giggles compares to the giggle he had on Graham Norton Show when Asling Bea made him literally tear up with laughter.
Line delivery, timing, humor, subject matter, very refreshing and Being John Malkovitch throughout especially like his role in the aforesaid movie and Burn after Reading
No, it's nothing like a mockumentary. The title is literal and that's all I can really say without giving too much away. I guarantee you haven't seen a movie like it.
I subbed because I found myself watching tons of these. I'm from the UK so can only remember CF doing some Breakfast TV spots before he took off, but these shows are really good. I'm developing a new found respect for a fellow Scot.
Definitely not underrated, or overrated. He's one of my favorite actors though. He often doesn't play the leading role, and typically plays supporting cast, or villain.
I 1st seen John in Knockaround Guys years ago, just recently getting into his movies and interviews and I'm sorry it took so long because this man is just excellent.
By the way. There is 'winter white', just like the color John has on. You can find this color in many items of clothing made for wintertime. Wool sweaters. Wool suits. Wool skirts. Wool coats. Wool scarves. Leather coats, skirts, pants, boots, hats, gloves, All in winter white, which is a creamy white like John's suit. Anyway, winter does not really come to parts of the Southern USA. I think it's mostly some older people that needlessly worry about the propriety of wearing white in winter.
In both the opening and the closing of the first segment, they talk about him being on the show three years ago. I guess that means that it isn't 2/2 visits?
From an Austrian: Craig isn't entirely wrong here. Though we do speak a variety of German here, it is often at odds with "German" German, and we do use a lot of different vocabulary which is unknown in most parts of Germany.
@@MichaelVereno Maybe a bit like US English versus UK English? Or Brazilian Portugese compared to Portugese on Portugal? What do you think about the connection from Deutsche to Dutch spoken in the Nederlands?
