As season one of Lucifer is released on DVD, we've been chatting to Tom Ellis about playing the smarmy character and if he thinks the devil's British. Report by Melissa Nathoo. Test
I was thinking exactly that. He's like "it takes all the fun out of it if I know they want to sleep with me". I'm like "they all want to sleep with you... sorry to ruin the fun".
Go watch Rush, you'll love him more than Lucifer. After the first season, I search his shows and then I found Rush, damn so good show and great actor he is.
Yeah same here! After seeing season's 1-3 of Lucifer I then watched Miranda and Rush in short succession. More I see him the more I respect his ability x
The character is closer based on the earliest idea of Satan than you think. Hebrew Samael, the punisher and seducer is very much in Lucifer, be it the Comics or The show.
Thank you! That would be fun and funny. I like it when he gets uncomfortable when she hugs him. And how he calls her "little human". It's always enjoyable to see them together.
Geez, he's amazing! Charming looker, and that ACCENT! And you can tell he's having as much fun as we are! But we can also tell when things annoy or are just plain painful; Tom has an incredible range as an actor. His facial expressions are to DIE FOR! Love him, hope the show stays for a loooong time!
Not really just hope he finds a far better vehicle for his huge talent and charisma but in Hollywood today cannot see that happening any time soon. It's a sic place, I felt vindicated when I heard him mutter when looking at his script," three years in drama school for this drivel"!
This is why I loved the lighting. I have been waiting for a light designer who shows all the facial expressions while successfuly showing shadow and darkness.
Everyone's like, "She totally wants him.", and I'm just like, "YES! Everyone, literally everyone wants him! They made a joke about Lucifer flipping men so much he's a frying pan but that's TOM! HE'S FUCKING HOT, DON'T RUB IT IN!"
I've never heard of Tom Ellis before like a week ago when I started binge watching Lucifer. Another show I put aside for a long time because I thought it was too silly. Well, it is NOT. Lesson learned, I should not listen to my gut feelings in cases like this. And Tom seems like a very nice person and I liked how he interacted with the interviewer, great talk.
Judit Thoma Oohh me too! I’ve never heard of him (I actually first saw him in OUAT S02 but just realized it) before Lucifer. I ignored Lucifer ads on Netflix for quite some time until last 3 weeks, when I by chance turned it on because I need smth to watch while doing some house chores. And look where I am now🤣🤣
Great interview! Interviewer was asking great questions and interacting with Tom perfectly. I hate when some interviews are just the interviewer asking questions then talking over the answers. Tom is a lovely man and I love the show. Can't wait to see more of Season 2!
What i expected "you wish you had that power?" "What do you mean wish? I do have that power." Fo real guys. The dude probably has that power over a lot of men...
One of the things I love about Tom is his singing voice and how they included it into the show..I think it matches so well with Lucifers character..and Toms voice truly is incredible :,)
I probably wouldn't have lasted past the first couple episodes without them. XD All Luci's remarks about the biblical mentions. I wish someone would make one long video just with them. Each and every one had me rolling. I waited so long for someone to exclaim "Jesus" just because I wanted to know what Luci would respond to it, for instance xD
How do you remain focused on doing an interview with this man?? I would be so nervous and only think about pouncing on him. He is such a gorgeous work of art!
I just finished watching the show and of course, I'm having a Tom Ellis Interviews Marathon, 4 seasons of him wasn't enough. Plus, I started again the show.
don't know if anyone would agree or not, but I would love to see him as the next Doctor in Doctor Who, or as the next James Bond or play as Lucifer in Supernatural
He's irresistible isn't he? Watching season 4 episode 2. Ella says something is "amazeballs" and the next scene is literally newly buff as hell shirtless Tom, looking just that. 🏋️♂️💥
I loved Tom Ellis' Lucifer, so I went and read the comics, on which it was based. Tom's Lucifer, in essence, is nothing like the comics' Lucifer. Yes for a while I was... massively disappointed at how much more entertaining the comics' Lucifer was than Tom's portrayal. Subsequently I realized that there is no way the comics' Lucifer would be popular on screen. He is a tad overly Machiavellian. Nonetheless I highly recommend the comics. Perhaps moreso than I would the TV series.
Seeing the mix of his English accent and the rare times he does a perfect American accent in the show I was starting to think this guy was American that does a great English accent not the other way around
