i love how helena interrupts the interviewer. gives him a taste of what hes been doing to everyone else. god i love her

[@phoebebuffay328]

They should have let Helena Bonham Carter facilitate this interview.

[@rrrusty49]

Ohhhh so much SAME. ;D

[@BeYourSelf0812]

Helena NEEDS her own talk show, I could listen to her ramble on about anything for hours. She is such a hilarious, random, gorgeous, amazing, talented and versatile actress, how could you not love her???

[@madmarty5078]

lets all appreciate how Helena was really funny and talkative at the beginning, then just sort of got bored, and went silent

[@chloemcdermott2978]

mad marty basically me when I'm with my family lol

[@juliakrystal19]

why appreciate that? 😄

[@magdaty1815]

maybe a bit sulking because she didnt get to say things she wanted, I wonder what was her story when she had to say stop on set

Helena Bonham Carter: QUEEN.

[@rrrusty49]

Yassssssss

[@FehrGormenghastTodd]

This is my favorite roundtable. The actresses get along great and that allowed them to completely relax and let us see them like they really are. Plus, the fact that they are so different yet compatible allow the interview to be both fun and interesting.

[@HannahMino]

The table is rectangular.

[@gainal9080]

Lmao true

LMAOOO

[@maximilian2974]

Lol

[@bombaycrow]

Hmm

[@rrrusty49]

Shhhhhhh LOL, don't spoil the illusion with reality. ;D

[@HelenIrvingtx]

It is very nice to have the actors/actresses talking about their experiences professional or personal like this. If more people watched these, paparazzi and gossip magazines would be almost out of business! They are sharing their real lives to the degree that they feel comfortable. And people are always curious. So here you go. No ad interruption, no 10-15 minute interviews ....Great job The Hollywood Reporter. I wasn't aware of this program. Recently finding out that you tube got it all! : )

[@julimurillo5226]

[@howardkoor2796]

Agree. Love their sharing. Insightful and authentic.

[@m.e.c.5837]

wow Amy Adams.. this is the 3rd episode of roundtable I just watched and she is the only recurring actress and I must say I don't feel like I have had enough of her. I do like her. She is very sincere. Goodluck to you babe!

[@SaoirseK]

"Natalie, what did you think when you got the script for 'Black Swan?' Helena - "Yippeee!" So funny. Helena kept that whole table laughing. Sure, Natalie couldn't do anything but laugh with Helena. :)

[@joseluis28ful]

This is prob the only actress roundtable were i felt that all the actresses liked each other and genuinely laughed and connected with each other!

[@clairedelongeau8069]

cause these ones were all primarily artists, not divas.

[@snnsrxn3188]

King Kylie . Nicole didn’t abandon her kids. It’s other way around. Keep that narrative for elsewhere

[@888pil]

I love when they're saying that Amy got the roll Hillary wanted and start cracking up like a bunch of hooligans. Really cool to see all these lovely ladies just cracking jokes and laughing it up

[@MrLasveguinhas]

I think the movie they were talking about was People Like Us, it sounds like the story Hillary was about to tell.

[@gainal9080]

Yeah it's definitely it.

[@kari0901]

Finally a group that gelled well together. This one was very entertaining and informative. No awkward moments.

[@siddharthabose2721]

Oh, Helena Carter - you amazing, AMAZING woman!

[@fruitbasedsnack]

i live for nicole's complete silence until she is physically prompted. "me?" >>>

[@Selenite11]

A classic introvert.

[@happylightvibes2837]

She had to check cause they passed her by, very ignorant. She's made to feel irrelevant. They are very ignorant interviewers.

[@rrrusty49]

@@Selenite11 I totally feel that.

[@carinasantos9041]

Helena Bonham Carter has taught me a lot in life. She's basically saying " Be yourself" don't pretend to be the person you aren't that's not what life is. You go on and have fun! She is the whole reason why I want to start acting. She means the world to me. I understand other people say this too but I really, really mean it from the heart. like nobody understands

[@AlexisMiranda33]

me too =)

[@darynlamoureux3053]

My favorite part is when Helena opens her Diet Coke.

[@rrrusty49]

Or reaches in front of Annette (while A. is talking) and scrapes the tin of Altoids across the table.

[@annajacob7981]

@@rrrusty49 Yep.. and the scraping noise amplified by the poor, echoing acoustics of the room and/or poor recording equipment. Thankfully, THR improved their production mechanics after this early-on actress roundtable.

[@girlfromchile5190]

Natalie + Helena = PERFECTION.

[@kamran102]

Helena is just the perfect pretty English girl with wonderful eyes... I had a crush on her after "A Room with a View"

[@BethanyWood98]

Helena is dying just to talk straight out by herself for the full hour, ha.

[@dennis2966]

I've watched quite a few of these roundtables now, both men's and women's roundtables, and both for actors and directors. I have to say, this one has become my favorite. The chemistry between these particular actresses had an extra "spark" to it. And made the hour especially engaging. Plus, and this matters, the interviewers didn't interrupt them as much as they often do.

[@PaintbrushBristles]

I watched this for Helena

[@TheGeekKnight4]

This is so much better than the actors roundtable, even if the table is still not round.

[@sammuirhead8827]

I really wish they would just pose a question and then let everyone share, instead of going off on a tangent with one actor. It's about the actors, not the interviewers.

[@patr70]

sam muirhead This is actually one of the very best actress rountables. Good questions, good answers, not too rushed, not boring, ect.

[@Mia-zm9qd]

Helena's laugh. 😍 that is all

[@slicerprime]

Since "Getting It Right", any time Helena Bonham Carter is on a screen she has my attention. I would love to hear more from her about her experience as an actor.

[@alejay07]

I just love how every time Helena speaks thing start to turn chaotic. I just think she is sooo brilliant. It was nice to see a open and honest discussion amongst genuinely talented actors with a great deal of experience of the industry. I love how when even these level headed, intelligent ladies start to get carried away talking about all the awards hoopla and expectations of dressing up and always having to look a certain way & then HBC just states the obvious which is.. well... just don't. Sh

[@FrumpyDucks]

Helen dives over the table for a mint Absolutely pissing myself!!

[@MertSu66]

helena seems like the chick that you'd go out for beer and just have barrels of laugh. and natalie.. damn. she's like, marry her and have 27 children

[@MertSu66]

to be fair i'd do helena too. so hard. but only have like 11 children

[@chelseapoet3664]

Marry the person you have barrels of laughs with.

[@jayzhelle]

I love when Annette went "Amy you got it didn't you?" and everyone started laughing.

[@marjoriegarland2798]

Have always loved Annette and her acting! So very talented, so many different and heartfelt roles. I think that she is one of the very best actresses of the past 50 years.❤

[@l.l2998]

Helena and Amy are my faves they are just so gorgeous and lovely. Helena is so unique and Amy is just this adorable woman. They both are some of the reasons i turned lesbian.

[@Blafard666]

lol, like somebody can "turn" lesbian...

'Turned' lesbian. I'm sure you don't mean think in the literal sense? Hhaha.

[@LunaTheLoony]

Helena Bonham Carter and Diet Coke : I ship it.

[@Saucman]

Yeah, Helena is the most reality connected actress here.

[@kkandsims4612]

I think Hilary swank is pretty down to earth and Annette seems like she could give two fucks about she two but yea I would largely agree with that .

[@cece8095]

I don’t agree. I think Helena & Amy both are really connected. They’re all connected except for Nicole. Good actress, seems like a good person, just in the clouds I think. I think her career has done that, though. I don’t think it’s her. She did marry Tom Cruise after all.

Took me an entire 5 minutes to realize that Nicole Kidman was there.

lol

[@melaniejackson-cracchiolo356]

I don’t see them being stuck up. I do see them nervous.

[@amywilks3038]

Why do the interviewers always interrupt the actors? Or they never acknowledge what someone has just said and just move straight on? Just curious if any one else thought this rude?

[@Roman888]

I think managing these kinds of group interviews is harder than it looks. They're probaly under a lot of pressure to stay within a tight time frame.

[@amywilks3038]

Yes that's true, and too make sure everyone has an equal amount of speaking time sure

The fact that Helena, Natalie, and Amy are all sitting at the same table brings me so much joy.

[@MultiMasonmusic]

Helena just helena

[@b3blueblue]

Very engaging group of women. They're much livelier than their counterpart actors of that same season.

[@LewisBavin]

Budji Tresvalles I really enjoy the actors round tables too but the actresses are just that little bit more interesting and I'm not too sure why. I think it may have to do with he fact that females in the business look out for each other as they know its hard to make it as a woman, so there is an immediate comfort felt when a group of them get together, hence the more deep, more personal conversations.

[@kenm305]

Lewis Bavin You make a good point. On the other hand, maybe the guys this season just weren't the creme of the crop. Imo I think they just didn't have chemistry. They all had completely different personalities, and way too much variance in film experience. Ruffalo was awesome tho

[@MrJray06]

Lol helena going back nd forth drinking coffee bean nd diet coke

[@jesselardo2078]

26:57 two leos getting competitive and four geminis laughing it off lmao

[@lisbethfg989]

Why all the questions are kind of sad? Is this interviewer in a sad day? the actresses are making this fun specially Helena, if not it would be hard to watch for an hour. For example, what would you do if you wouldn't act? Come on, you've got some of the best actresses of our time there to talk about acting and their amazing life.

[@AlwaysHBC]

I love how everyone has one glass of water and then you see Helena with cola, coffee and water :D This woman ist awesome!!

[@XsweetstarliteX]

i love that natalie seems to be n awe of helena, which is great they're both great actresses.

[@Victoria_2005]

Very insightful; thanks THR, I enjoyed that very much indeed. In addition, it’s nice to see actresses getting on so well; as the ‘media’ always makes out that they don’t get on, in movies etc a la Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Times have changed since then, so it’s really nice to finally see actresses together and talking about their profession, but having a nice time too. I’d really like to see more actresses discussing things like this.

[@BiahCrazy]

helena, jesus, just marry me ^^

"You got any scars?" haha, Helena is such a flirt

[@misst3196]
