Nicole Kidman Is Blown Away By Stephen Fry’s Intelligence | The Graham Norton Show 

Oliver Holmes-Gunning she's as old as he is but hair dye and plastic surgery go a long way.

@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 That seems unnecessary. Whatever she does, she looks pretty damn good, to me. And, she's an amazing actress.

Excuse me, that's Hugo Boss on the couch.

wow. what a nice point of view.

@@boydrewboy741 nobody got that what a shame

He also has an eidetic memory which certainly helps

His voice is so amazing!

What a superbly inciteful comment. Agreed wholesomely.

@@cabrown308 yes leaves a lot of room to be charming

you have helped me understand me and the person I admire.

Yes, I noticed. He certainly knows how to keep the folks rivited.

Meta-hearth

Exactly what I noticed.

He mansplained hearth.

It's the same feeling for me when I heard the voice of David Attenborough. I'm immediately excited because I know that what he is going to say and show will thrill me with knowledge and passion and inspiration for the natural world and its myriad wonders. I look forward to awe.

"unparalleled" is a very big word and often misused. Go meet people literally risking their lives to save dying children in Africa: that is truly unparalleled. This dude is an actor.

@@HittokiriBattousai17 Stephen Fry is a GREAT deal more than an actor. He is gifted in many areas, not least in his ability to be humble and gracious.

@@HittokiriBattousai17 Since you're using the plural here, it sounds to me like the people who risk their lives to save dying children in Africa are quite paralelled.

Just no love for god

If I ran the country. It would be full of Stephen Fry "types" The country is a business yet Uni know nothings run the show. The PM should be successful British business owners and each section ran by the correct people. Stephen Fry with others like Prof Brian Cox running Arts and Education..

...and for storytelling.

But a little smartness is used to speculate how and why things happen.

Exactly.

and sharing it.

@@monmothma3358 Well, he's an actor (and a revered one), so it's pretty close !

I had a history teacher exactly like that. He wasn’t a nice man, but oh the way he talked. He got me really into history and my grades were great because of that.

lol! so true

Locktwiste72: beautifully put! Like an actor who could recite the phonebook and have you in tears.

Stephen Fry is a wonderful storyteller. A modern day Odysseus

This man could read the telephone book and we’d all listen to it!?!

He's a great story teller, a skill he's perfected over many years.

I'm currently listening to his Harry potter audiobooks and I cannot stop

He could talk to me about beige curtain material and he could grasp my attention

@@theshosher They're very good, but not as fun as the Jim Dale versions.

@@andydalfen8771 Agreed. Fry has a beautiful voice but not the range of character voices that Dale created. Our kids would sit silently on our 6hr drives to France hanging off every chapter.

Ir's the way we all fantasize she would respond if we were in Stephen's position. She's actually listening, not trying to interrupt or trying to "entertain". And a little school-girlish at the end.

I imagine if Nicole Kidman looked me in the eyes I'd faint right on the spot.

@@vellstillings9326 Why? She looks fake now, like an alien doll. She’s so obsessed with not aging that she’s gone all out with botox and plastic surgery. Her face barely moves. It’s CREEPY! Also, she was a cheerleader of Harvey Weinstein. That makes her extra disturbing.

C0caine? ?

I don't think so. My body &facial language analysis has me thinking she is quite bored here.

I didn't know that......Learn something everyday! :-)

amazing

Yep, he had a little smile as he said that pun. He really needed to explain it though, because Latin isn't commonly studied any more. If you know the French _feu_ or Spanish _fuego,_ then you've seen how the Latin word for "hearth" has come to mean "fire" in the Romance languages.

@@Correctrix I don't think he needs to. Sometimes saying less means more.

@@kiwitrainguy always "practicing" medicine.....

If only he wasn't so stubborn about taking HIS meds.

I just said some similar then read your comment lol. You explain it much more eloquently 😅

Yes, this is something people seem to overlook about him. His primary virtues are compassion, enthusiasm, and an ability to articulate. He's intelligent, but he's not a genius in the sense of being an innovative thinker. He's just very, very good at conveying ideas in a way such that people understand and feel encouraged and included.

It's very endearing!

She's stuck in character

Im sure Stephen would be flattered to hear you refer to him as "Grandma"

Stephen is a marvellous story teller

International, please... please... ;)

Breaking news. I've just got to know (I mean in this very moment) that I had the right to ask this. Although being Hungarian and a follower of Stephen's work in spreading science, I had never noticed that he had a Hungarian ancestor. So I really do lay claim to my share of him.

@@lxathu Nationality is a fictitious concept. Notwithstanding that, Fry is an establishment stooge, wielded as an _intellectual,_ to befuddle and coerce the tax-cattle in matters of current agenda. Lap it up.

And you're so dumb.

@@stealthymonk8808 Um, no. As evidenced by this very clip, he loves stories and loves sharing them.

He also does a beautiful story about France and lavender fields, I use to go to sleep with. It's a bedtime story for adults with insomnia.

Have Fry and Hitchens ever had a gathering? Recorded? Roundtable?

@@jorgefiguerola1239 They were part of a debate together at some point. Obviously on the side of atheism. I forget who the opponents were. Needless to say they got crushed..

My Grammy always said, "Wisdom and Intelligence aren't the same thing." Stephen Fry is blessed with both.

​@@wendyw7304 no he might have intelligence but is not at all wise

Eon Lee Music I would say the world goes quiet.

Cian Thornhiil. How absolutely eloquently phrased and utterly true❣️👌🏽👏🏽

And hilarious too

If you like to listen to intellectuals that are well spoken, then I strongly recommend you listen to Christopher Hitchens.

Yes he is Cian. If you want to hear him at his best,and I don't know if you are an Atheist like Stephen and I are,but you should look up Stephen and Christopher Hitchens' debate on the catholic church from Intelligence 2 (squared). entrancing speaking from both at their best.

She really is fabulous, isn't she!

Though she might just be a great actress? 🤔😁🤣

bit thick though

@Ki l the sins of the father are utterly irrelevant to the actions of the child you blithering fool.

what is it lately with these dumb comments... shes just being a normal human. nun special or strange, listens and interacts like any other would. how is this an achievement or refreshing? wtf, cant ppl be normal anymore so this is now the exception? wonder if you all are going to worship nomality next....

Ger : That's why God is a concept . . .

@@moirared04 : Has what ?! Given it a name ?

Yeah, that’s why there’s so much ‘name-calling’ in science. Give it a name (‘classification‘) and it’ll pass for progress, as if we already began to control all the unknowns of the universe. The work of actually understanding will often still lie ahead of us.

@@Awibrahor "name calling in science"??? There are things we understand and things we don't. An apple is just this red thing that tastes good until someone named it. An atom, a proton, the doppler effect... the vast majority of people don't understand the real meaning of those words, but they still need names for people that do understand them. There's always going to be things that we don't understand or know, but generally, science gives names for provable ideas or objects. There are names for theories as well, but even then the theories need names to describe them. The concept Stephen Fry is describing is the man-made creation of religions, gods, deities, fairy tales, to give some semblance of knowledge over the unknown. That is very different from science.

just did, he voiced the audiobook of Harry Potter. enjoy ''silently walks away"

How I loved Jeeves & Wooster, so tongue in cheek.

Eulalie, Spode!

He has a character on Bones that absolutely draws you in you forget everything else when he's speaking and hang on his every word.

He and Attenborough would be at my dinner party 👍🏼

It was common among adults years ago.

@kinor Spielmanfirstly, I am not your luvy. Plus- I was referring to the way Stephen Fry expresses himself, and the knowledge he possesses. As for the mud raking British tabloids you seem to fancy, I don’t read them. Says more about you than him, keeping the likes of Rupert Murdock in business.

@kinor Spielman thank you!

@kinor Spielman Fry is a nothing. If he hadn't been to a public school he'd be unemployed or sweeping the streets.

@kinor Spielman Ever read about Isaac Newton?

That's.. Quite interesting!

Yes because it supports the "globe" of skull. True story.

It's called C1

Truth!!!

@Фаик Тагиев probably a turtle carrying their heads^^

There's a difference between knowledge and intelligence. He probably is intelligent, but it's important not to confuse the two.

A bit like Boris, then? No?

@R J Seems like someone is suppressing some childhood trauma, do you need someone to talk to?

I know people like this and listen to them but I noticed most people only listen to celebrity

@@peter3deckwizard I'll add one to your list of... Wisdom since it's often associated with knowledge and intelligence but it depends on neither. Personally I'd rather be wise than smart or knowledgable.

He really is soooo fascinating. It strikes that chord so deep embedded inside of everyone to want to hear stories.

As soon as I saw this that's what I thought, a HUMBLE man.

Also a man that likes a hummer

Intelligent? Why? All he does is regurgitate information...has he invented anything or discovered anything...no! They are the real smart people.

Stormtrooper1488 How come? Do you feel threatened by his great diction and passion for knowledge?

Stormtrooper1488 you’re entitled to your opinion friend! As long as you know it’s wildly incorrect.

He does many Amazon one's

Stormtrooper1488 For starters, you have yet to explain why you think him pompous. The guy has actually no time at all for false pretences, and he dislikes the ostentatious and self-important. But he happens to like his language and speak it well. Also, he is undeniably knowledgeable and wise on a broad range of subjects - and can comment on them in depth and in a most entertaining way, completely off the cuff. Some less accomplished people do feel threatened by towering intellects, and the lowest of the low will seek to degrade them. No one can help being old or gay. Nor is body volume a matter of any relevance or interest. Your mean-spirited comment tells us more about you than it does about Fry.

Stormtrooper1488 ....he has an interest in Classics... and that’s a bad thing?! Hahahaha ok pal.

He isn't the first person to make that claim. In fact he may have had Spike Milligan in mind. Milligan often said of Peter Sellers : "He hasn't got a fireplace in his life", referring to Sellers never really putting down roots and having a happy family home and hearth.Fry met Milligan when they worked on Gormenghast for the BBC. He said Milligan was one of the few people he was truly in awe of and often felt slightly uneasy around him.

@@thewomble1509 Milligan was a rare beast indeed. Working class but clever as an Oxford don and razor sharp. This edge garnered great respect and a little bit of fear from all.

his very ideology is the destruction of our hearth!!!

@@BigPerm6999 dont be so absurd 😂😂😂

@@emmamortiboy1520 Oxford dons aren't necessarily that clever.

I thought of my grandpa too. He was a teacher and we did actually gather around the hearth with him. He read to us and told stories. So grateful to my giant oak tree of a grandfather, now long gone.

I'd take that over a movie any day of the week. There aren't many people in the world who can captivate an audience and hold their interest for so long. But this man, oh Lord, I want him to read his Greek 're tellings to me every night!!!!

Absolutely.

His audio books on Audible are amazing 😊

What's missing are the storytellers who were center of the hearth. The radio and TV overtook that space so that's where we spend our nights.

No thanks. I've better things to do than to waste my time listening to an overprivileged, overindulged prat preening his own ego.

It's not that Stephen Fry is intelligent. It's that Nicole is dumb!

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Stephen Fry is exceptionally intelligent. Go listen to some of his many conversations with philosophers, scientists and literary critics.

@@TehNetherlands read what I wrote.

Spot on Maurice!

Joe Lycett is turning out to be a moral genius too, using his platform solely to try and better the world and force us to have difficult conversations.

Probably her being surprised in a way, that made her jaw drop.

literal stars in her eyes lol

I think she was mid yawn, but used her expert acting skills to catch it midway

@@sAmiZZle82 lmao 😂

Its botox

He truly is. Have you read his autobiographies? He's written three. They are so entertaining, intelligent and comforting at the same time that I have taken to reading them over and over again last thing before I go to sleep. They are like listening to a good friend who makes you feel good about life; great thoughts to have just before going to sleep, especially these days.

General Melchet!

British do everything better🤷‍♂️

And then Fry let Kidman speak. Pure class.

Graham knows when to do that

Jimmy Fallon could never

@@2nfsug He does, he's a brilliant interviewer!

what you mean a fake look for the purposes of the audience, she an actor

I feel like that's literally everyone when he talks. He's incredible

Might not, look up Fiona Barnett, if you dare, download her free book, watch candy girl doco. If you can get thru both, you'll never be the same again. Kidmans figure big time in her true story.

peter the repeater mustard. She doesn’t have much expression left these days.

Or at least can “act” as if mesmerized by him

Nice. that made me laugh. Thank you

we must be related...

Reportedly around 150.

Lol that made me snort, I dont often give kudos to comments but this got me somehow. XD

He has one of the best kinds of IQ: Wisdom. I don't know that he'd ever have won any nobel prize in any particular field but if you watch him interviewed or in debate he knows the worth of knowing better than your average bear.

He’s said before that he feels weird about being called a “national treasure”, so I like to think of him as everyone’s cool uncle.

@athena854 okay. I will say a World treasure

Even when he did that slightly bad program called ‘last chance to see’ , because of his voice being so soothing & British I couldn’t turn episode 1 off.

I'm in total agreement. Fry has such intelligence and charisma that he's endlessly engaging, whatever the topic.

I think it's because he doesn't talk down to people. He knows he is highly intelagent and probably is the most intelagent person in many gatherings. But he talks to you as an equal with passion about the subject. That's the reason I like to listen to him.

His voice is sooo ridiculously soothing, i dont mind listening to him talking or reading a chapter of a book or a whole book all day!! Loved him as he was the audio voice of hp books.😍

So true. I've got this book on audible can't wait to listen.

And to just sit there and listen to they great mind of Fry instead of trying to interject with cheap wit. To their credit, the whole sofa did this but I can think of a few personalities that would have wanted to have the attention drawn to them with stupid jokes.

Well possibly she was just as much a victim as Fiona Barnett, but so successful in Hollywood? I doubt it. Look up Fiona Barnett.

I've never actually watched, in real time, somebody fall in love like Nicole Kidman did with Stephen Fry.

@Robert Fugazzi Spoken like a true Scotsman!! 🤣🤣 But so true!

Pedantry, she knew what he meant, so did everyone else. Bet Stephen regretted saying anything, I would have.

Fry is very clever but I feel that it's his charm that elevates him. There are plenty of clever people but few are as good to listen to.

Why did he hide it under a bushel? Wouldn't the bushel catch fire?

According to the Kings of Leon: yes.

I love Stephen Fry.

true it's all about delivery not what is being said. if school teachers were as any good to listen to as stephen i would have done much better in school.

I just want to listen & listen.

yet, IQ has nothing to do with Fry's knowledge. IQ measures reasoning

You sound like you know your stuff... How familiar are you with the story of Anu, Enki, Enlil (Nephilim) Nibiru etc and what (if any) similarities do you see between this and the Greek mythology?

"The humanist view of the meaning of life is different. Humanists do not see that there is any obvious purpose to the universe, but that it is a natural phenomenon with no design behind it. Meaning is not something out there, waiting to be discovered, but something we create in our own lives." Stephen Fry Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. Only mindless people believe Fry.

Yes, knowledge is one thing, being able to engage the student is an equally, if not more important trait.

Everyone adored him, you never missed a lesson. When our maths teacher was ill for a fortnight, he filled in, and I learnt more maths in those two weeks than in the previous two years because he made it interesting.
