Christoph Waltz Talks BIG EYES and Why He Hates Christmas

[@leisurelyurs]

Christoph can plays whatever roles he's given and give an oscar worthy performance, this is real actor...artist.

[@oskartheloner9252]

the more I know about this actor, the more I watch movies with him as member of the cast the more I love him. Damn, I cannot even find someone cooler than him among celebrities

[@torifficpoet5233]

He played his character SO well. Such an amazing story and LOVELY art. Probably my favorite that Tim Burton did. ❤

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Although Christoph was the Supporting actor, he became the movie's star, I think he can play any role whether villain or not but, he is very talented actor.

[@Charccy]

Excellent actor and a smart man.

[@darjadmitrijevna]

I absolutely agree with Waltz about Christmas. Although not every country and house has lost the value of Christmas, most unfortunately have. I think if he saw that there were still people who could celebrate in a way that was acceptable to him (and me), his opinion would change. Btw I watched Big eyes again today, it was brilliant!

[@VoiceNerd]

Agree with Waltz, REALLY don't like Christmas anymore just because of what it's become. Sure the family time is great but commercialism... sheesh..

[@Bebetojopp]

wth are u talking about?

[@mikephilips6905]

Are you like 70?

[@sebastianalegria3401]

really good my favourite actor in the movie, l saw it's a interesting movie for me

[@lvettesonai]

One of the greatest actors ever! 👏🏾

[@Reflection_Wave]

Best movie I just watched.

[@karenbaumgartel6077]

Christoph Waltz is a great actor - whether or not he is a “good” or “kind” person is irrelevant. If that’s what matters to you then simply don’t watch the films he’s in.

[@gwendolyn7462]

No you are not against Christmas. You are against COMMERCIALISM

[@gmann6269]

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter...

[@patricedhanis3546]

He is celebrating Christmas wrong. It's not about the gifts but rather about being with those you love. About eating, drinking, listening to music and enjoying pretty decorations. All of which you have normally but Christmas is the excuse to put it all together an enjoy. I love Christmas and no it's not a gift thing.

[@obiwanian2774]

He is an Hollywood actor. Hollywood actor don't have a normal family.

[@patricedhanis3546]

Hate Christmas? Yes if your idea of Christmas is presents,presents presents, I agree. We celebrate with good food and drink lights candles and music. It doesn't get much better : )

[@kxmode]

There's another reason for hating Christmas. 1. No servant of God in the Bible ever celebrated their birth. You will not find one mention of it. 2. Jesus said to remember his death. He never mentioned anything about remembering his birth day.

[@khaymari]

Oh come on, Muslims celebrate Muhammad's birthday a whole month, because they simply don't know which day was it. And it is not "Ramadan" before anyone comments on it, but that month called month of "Mavlud."

[@khaymari]

Christoph is just saying it's too commercialized

[@kxmode]

beka najm Muhammad never claimed to be the Son of God. Jesus did, and there was ample scriptural evidence to support his claim. Look at the life of Jesus compared with the life of Mohammad. What did Jesus do? What did Mohammad do? The pattern of their lives will tell which was truly a prophet sent by God.

[@khaymari]

kxmode Well, whatever you say buddy. I thought you were commenting on celebration of holidays, not whose the real deal or not.

[@kxmode]

beka najm You brought up Muhammad and you suggested that he was equal in scope to Jesus. You then say Muslims celebrate his birth day for an entire month. However in the Bible never once does it mentions any prophets of God - from Abraham, Noah, Moses, to Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, to Jesus - celebrating their birth day, instructing anyone to celebrate birth days, or even celebrating the birth day of anyone. The custom was viewed by Jews as a pagan for centuries before Jesus day. I said before because apparently during Jesus day some people - like wicked king Herod - celebrated birth days. It is fitting then that King Herod's birthday was recorded at Mark 6:21. There's an interesting account of what happened at his birth day party. If you get a chance read Mark 6:21-29. I won't spoil it with details. If you want to know what happened you'll have to read it. Know that this mention of birth day and one other with Pharaoh during Joseph's day are literally the only two mentions of birthdays; and *neither* were celebrated by worshippers of God. This kind of tells you how Almighty God views the celebrating of anyone's birth... not even his own son: Jesus.

[@Tholly70]

Interviewer needs to do his research, Waltz would not celebrate christmas based on his religion

[@insfwnsf]

Marilyn Monro What's his religion?

[@easternlights3155]

@@insfwnsf I don't know how about now, but I think he mentioned in a interview that he was raised a catholic.

[@fan1985ful]

@@easternlights3155 he was an altar boy and in Austria most people were raised catholic.

[@tracischmidt8593]

Christoph is Jewish. He is related to Sigmund Freud who was Jewish. His ex wife is and his son is a Rabbi. Majority of Austrians are Catholics.

[@ounchan2651]

What that guy thinks a husband that controls his wife ,cheating ,lying that a genius

[@sforbesgocka]

genius, and greatness aren’t inherently good things.

[@christymomma]

Peak Manipulation = Christmas holiday, oh yes 🙌🏾

[@walkingmonument]

Convoluted response to a simple question

[@pyxn420]

Yep, Christmas is overrated.

[@allys744]

I understand why waltz feels that way about Christmas; the commercialism and all. But when he says no Christmas, I think that’s a bit too much.

[@hotdog7988]

It seems insane that people guess at what presents other people want. Great for the money makers, I guess. And don't start me on Gift Cards.

[@deniseallisonstout1901]

Left out the best part of the story of course. What gave Margaret the courage to finally come clean? jw.org

[@sarcasticsugar4466]

Gotta love Chris...Complains about commercialization and whatnot, but still buys himself a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...

[@Thatsn95girl]

Lol

[@PositivelyPam]

With all fairness I heard that Tarantino commissioned the star...although I'm sure CW's fans pitched in to pay for it as well. It's a shame, though, that he can't see Christmas for the true spirit of the holiday--it's not all about buying presents but spending time with and appreciating your loved ones. Lots of holidays have also become very commercialized--Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc. Very unusual for a German/Austrian to have such a distaste for a holiday where they invented so many of its traditions. I still love him and his performances.

[@sarcasticsugar4466]

Pamela Sosnowski Doesn't change the fact that Chris is an arrogant arsehole. Every single interview shows him to be just that, along with incredibly pompous and a man who likes to wax intellectual. He's not nice nor pleasant - he's gotten too big for his boots in my opinion.

[@Thatsn95girl]

Lemon Drops I've watched many of Christoph interviews and I don't see the asshole your talking about. Pompous, not at all. He's verying charming and seems quite pleasant carries himself confidently and also he can be very humble at times. He's had a long career but under appreciated before Quentin cast him in Inglorious Bastards. But this is also my opinion.

[@PositivelyPam]

That1ne Lemon Drops Agreed; there was a big publicity push for Big Eyes so he's been everywhere the past few weeks, and during a couple of interviews he appeared to get a little frustrated because every interviewer was asking him about James Bond. At this point he knows very little about his character and wasn't making the rounds to promote Spectre, but Big Eyes. I think his intelligence and way of explaining things sometimes goes over the interviewer's head. Watch any of his interviews with Jimmy Kimmel...I don't see any arrogance at all and he usually participates in a comedy sketch.

[@cristianm.5689]

I hate these big eyes, they look so depressing and I'm a very positive guy who hates negativity

[@marvelhasiholan5495]

Haha

[@alpaphoenix3252]

Cristian Moreno You'd have to be a sensitive snowflake to consider her paintings negative.

[@torifficpoet5233]

Frail Scorpion Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think their so melancholy and beautiful. each painting tells a story. fully respect your opinion

[@anadamaia1982]

Frail Scorpion I dont feel confortable too.

[@emmarose9466]

What are doing right here Mr. Positive guy spreading negativity??!!

[@TJdoozelaugh]

Is Christoph Waltz an atheist? o:

[@themaskedredbandit]

I hope so

[@tracischmidt8593]

He is related to Sigmund Freud who was Jewish. His first wife is Jewish and his son is a Rabbi. Does that answer your question?

[@bornbillsmith]

I remember these paintings and I never thought they were art. Who cares who painted them. Not me. Why should anyone care.

[@taylorjones15]

bornbillsmith you should watch the movie though, it's got a really good message about overcoming hardships. Margaret was a really sweet lady and was abused by Walter. Many girls are stuck in this cycle, but she made her way out of it and give hope to others.

[@anahiberrio1403]
