Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer on horse allergies, funny auditions and The English | The One Show

[@lenanana8]

This series needs way more press coverage, it is an absolutely gut-wrenching, stellar piece of storytelling! I love these two actors together, their chemistry on screen was absolutely phenomenal.

[@robertwing4163]

Agree - this is quality - quality to my opinion that isn’t made anymore. Excellent chemistry agreed

[@staceyhoran8443]

I totally agree!!! we wanted more!

[@carouselcakes6237]

Agreed! One of the best series I’ve seen in years.

[@superash31]

It was good. Nice scenery

[@janine7185]

Totally agree. I just happened to stumble across it looking for something to watch one night. I'm obsessed with it and keep going back and watching the whole series.

[@captaindisfunction]

Chaske was phenomenal in this series, he is brilliant. I hope he gets a lot of recognition.

[@teddymoon3744]

he was born for this role. i want to see his own series

[@northislandguy]

@@teddymoon3744Be so good if he gets to act alongside Canadian actor Michael Greyeyes

[@ChloeRobinette]

@@northislandguy They did a movie together called "Wild Indian" which you can find on here and it's amazing! I've been a fan of Chaske since he played Eagle Boy in "Dreamkeeper" when I was a young teen and then of course I was the generation of the whole Twilight Saga where he played Sam Uley, and I've followed his career. I'm so so glad "The English" is finally catapulting him into gaining more recognition because he's such a good actor.

[@IsabelS_Fuyu]

Cried like a baby at the end of the show, the story was great! And the chemistry between Emily and Chaske was beautiful if fleeting.

[@timproc9355]

😂 the point where he was going in circles with his horse by the sheriff. Pull the heart string. Great story.

[@leleprtk]

I cherish you :(((((

[@yodigak8810]

Just now finished it. My heart's broken

[@wajj1842]

I've probably seen every western movie ever made (80 yo in 3 weeks), and I rank this in the Top 10 (also 1883). Everything about it gets a 10 from me. The chemistry between Emily and Chaske was palpable; both did a fantastic job. But every aspect of this movie is a 10. Emily Blunt is one of the most versitle actresses ever. No challenge is too great for her. She deserves an Emmy and Golden Globe for this performance. As is the case with almost all of the movies/series that I love, I will wait about 6 months and watch it again. Everyone needs to see this Masterpiece!

[@xtrmfc]

Yes, 1883 and Now 1923 too ..

[@lertcmn]

Man! Talking about Chemistry!! I could feel their love and longing flowing out of the screen! Phenomenal

[@judithbuchanan4097]

Binge watched all of the episodes! It is soooo good. Their characters blend beautifully. I only wish there would be a second season.

[@USAnurse-97]

Me too!! OMG...I bawled like a sissy. It was awesome♥

[@venomsymbiote7555]

Just finished watching this show a few hours ago. Emily was fantastic as always and her co star Chaske was awesome too. Was hoping for a continuation of the story somehow but Emily’s character unfortunately had some severe health problems.

[@trondranorquoy5154]

Beautiful series but a sad story and didn't expect the ending to include the disease that it did!

[@edzeljereza8234]

Ditto here....just got done with ep 6

[@melhoad5221]

Ditto!

[@ivanostry3359]

I had not known of Chaske Spencer before I watched The English, he was phenomenal in this great western.

I'm taking a First Nation's Film class and we've watched several of his films. Check out Shouting Secrets if you'd like to see more of his films.

[@ivanostry3359]

This is the best dramatic tv series I've ever seen. The entire cast is incredible! Wow!

[@LadyMul]

This is really good. Embarrassed to say I’ve watched it twice already just to hear Chaske dialogue when I’ve been busy with work and never watch a series twice ever! Superb work by everyone from the acting to cinematography ❤️

[@chasehedges6775]

Emily Blunt is an absolute treasure. One of the best actresses EVER!

[@patrickguyot1290]

I agree,love any film she is in

[@aharonbenyisrael8387]

Agree, her arc is incredible with every type of movie she act, she is phenomenal

[@simonamckenzie4867]

Blunt and Spencer have an incredible chemistry. Let’s also praise Rafe Spall’s performance ….mad as a hatter. Great drama that will probably see a few awards coming its way. Well deserved if they get them.

[@HerAeolianHarp]

I thought it good in a derivative way a la Tom Hardy in Peaky Blinders.

[@mableyu]

Chaske Spencer is brilliant, he is a shinning star definitely.

[@TheEnnisfan]

This mini-series is awesome. Beautifully shot and acted. Emily is great as always and Chaske is so good. I was shocked to find out that it was shot in Spain. It looks like Wyoming, but then again, Leone shot all his Westerns in Spain as well. Good job, guys.

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

Soo so happy for Chaske. He deserves this

[@susancumming7099]

Outstanding mini series. You two made it real the connection, peeling the layers off to reveal so much depth. I want more...Chaske, you are a leading man! You eyes alone reveal so much.

[@BelleHealingMusic]

That was a beautiful story sometimes you binge watch and then realize no more episodes and can't replace the feeling...sobbing and sadness and sometimes you expect good endings at least in movies despite that it was an impossible love story during impossible times. Great chemistry

[@debraowen6723]

Chaske was stoic though strong and in control of his emotions at the same time. His deep masculine voice, his demeanor, and facial expressions just say everything without words. Only THE BEST actors can do this. That, combined with amazing Emily Blunt and her perfection in acting and you have a gut wrenching, edge of your seat, cheering for the 2 of them, wishing. Hoping. Pleading for their love to be known and shown to the world 😢 and THEN.....we found out why she couldn't give herself to him. God! Those 2 people SHOULD have been together forever. Their love came directly thru the screen and into my heart. That really hurt! That's how GOOD AND AMAZING these 2 actors really are! And all the supporting cast was SO GOOD and believable too! Some you love. Some you hate. But ALL GOOD. I just wish they had a happy ending.... I binged watched the WHOLE thing in 2 days😂🎉😂🎉

[@theeoarsman921]

I wish they could have stretched this to 12 episodes, I just didn't want it to end!!!

[@IrishAnnie]

This is one of the best mini series I have seen in a LONG time. Brilliant acting and writing. Beautiful scenery. Probably a real account of how criminal the wild west really was.

[@Zoro007]

Both fantastic actors,Chaske Spencer is a revelation, reminds me of the acting style of Brad Pitt, he should go on to bigger and better things on the strength of this, great television for a change!

[@Lxxx74]

Loved this series. It’s definitely one I’ll watch over and over. Already watched 3 times

[@BigEyesSmallMouth]

I LOVED this series, so much more than I had expected to do. It broke my heart.

[@Jacen777]

In short this show is absolutely BRILLIANT. One of the best shows I've seen...ever. Definitely one of the most beautifully shot. Seriously, it's absolutely gorgeous. The story is well written with everything coming together at the perfect time without loose ends. The show doesn't hold your hand or explain every last detail of what's happening, but all the questions are answered if you simply take the time to watch and think. In the end, you will understand everything. I almost never watch something I've seen twice, but I'll be watching this series again and probably again.

[@iantreadell8280]

I have been trying to find words to summarise this series and explain my feelings. No need, you have taken care of that for me. It is absolutely awesomely written, filmed and acted...I would encourage everyone to watch it and learn a little along the way. Not a true story, as such, but founded in truth I believe.

[@lindahinzman8236]

I have watched the series three times already. I hope there is a season TWO showing what happens with Eli when he leaves for home. I loved this series. Whoever put the actors together chose the best for those parts.

[@Lynn-yn7cc]

Waited at the end to see Eli getting his happy ending by seeing him standing in a field of Cornelia’s sweet seed. Maybe a short series with him getting there?! Hope so.

[@taepopswright5132]

Yeah I agree I was hoping they could've showed us an ending scene of Eli

[@NQQ613]

It's interesting how they introduce the show and description they gave was that it was the "Englishwomens revenge" story. It really stuck out to me. I felt both their stories were so strong, Eli's I would say was even "bigger" that to me they are both lead characters in the story and not just Eli helping her get revenge. The story is so huge and really what I took away from it was not their love story and revenge it was the whole scale of what was happening at the time but just showing us through 2 characters and their particular points of views.

[@B_LW565]

Started watching it today, and am loving it. Love Chaske and Emily. Great job!

[@christinewhite6993]

Eli is stunningly handsome. I'm in love!

[@susanq6398]

Me too ! That quiet competence is very sexy. If only men in real life were like this ! Sigh 😔

[@hazlizasudari4643]

I feel so sad by the end of the series. This series took my breath away on how the actors/actresses play the characters…so realistic and hardbreaking…good job on the production👍🏼👍🏼

[@IrishAnnie]

Same here. Need MORE.

[@CarFreeG]

when they showed the turn-of-the-century title card at the end my heart jumped with hope…because lots of modern medicine was discovered around then and I thought MAYBE. But alas :(

[@HerAeolianHarp]

These two were wonderful and compelling, and I also want to praise the performance of talented Tom Hughes, who also showed a good blend of emotional pain and self-containment. Strong performance.

[@viviennepastor3188]

Emily Blunt is fantastic in this series. All credit to her. Chaske is also fantastic. Wonderfully cast.

[@sarahadam8334]

Like everyone said, this is the best tv program I have seen in a long, time. it’s so informative as well, and realistic . It’s really nice to see a real life love story and how sometimes you can love someone and still know that you will not be with them

[@Wildevis]

This is by far one of the best series I have seen in a long time and I tell everyone they must see it. Emily and Chaske are just electrical, the vibe between them is so great one gets caught up in it and the dialogue between them is nothing an English lady will have with anyone back home. So much meaning behind so few words

[@WillBeUnknownToYou]

When they kissed I was like yayyy and then when I realized why she ran away I was heartbroken 💔 😢😢

[@Rohini1993]

Absolutely loved the series by the end, a slow burner to begin with but oh my gosh the ending !! Loved these two together too and Rafe Spall??? Fantastic villain

[@BobLorrimer]

I too am watching this series (The English) with ever increasing admiration . There is a wonderful liquid quality to the photography which suffuses every frame. The script and the Cast are absolutely sublime....so yes - I really like this, quirky, deft and original Western series.

[@strider9184]

I hate romance & drama but this was a good watch. One of the main things that kept me watching was Chaske’s character (and I don’t even know anything about the actor) He kept me glued to the screen and he steals every scene. I love Emily Blunt but I probably would have got bored of this if it weren’t for his character

[@natalyamartirosyan]

Agreed. Chaske is magnetic in this show. Emily is brilliant as always. And their chemistry is just insane.

[@natalyamartirosyan]

@Michaela Wehr I really like how they interact and there is warmth and trust growing between them. It’s like we actually see two people who are developing a bond. But I guess you would have to see and feel it for yourself.

[@christinewhite6993]

@Michaela Wehr if we told you, it would give too much away...Enjoy!

[@strider9184]

@Michaela Wehr I don’t know about off screen: I don’t really watch BTS that much. But on screen their chemistry is great. Bit of action, drama & romance in it. Something for everyone. I can’t stand pure romance stuff but that’s not the biggest factor at play in it which is why I think I liked it. Again Chaske is probably the whole reason I watched this: never seen or heard of him before but he was the glue that held it together for me. But I’ve always had a fondness for Native Americans so maybe I just like seeing Native American representation 🤷‍♂️

[@mirzhulyah]

I watch and watch the movie again and again in hopes of seeing a happy ending to this incredible game that has captured my heart. I am from Ukraine, and this is the best creation of the film industry of the last twenty years that I have seen. Thank you.

[@IgnoranceAverse]

They both were absolutely excellent in their parts. I am new to Chaske and thought his acting was so incredibly natural, and I just fell in love with Emily. Her acting was tremendous. I've watched this series over 10 times. I love it.

[@level10clearance]

'The English' hits deep in the same way seeing Dances with Wolves did in the theater for the first time. I remember how a 3hr movie was so rare the talk of it was how it would be too long for people. But this was proven to not be true at all when a tale is so poignant and meaningful that it can literally make time stand still. And that was true of 'The English' too. I was so pulled in I absorbed the full series of 6 episodes in one day. It hit so deep in my soul I felt gut punched at times and mournful at other times and completely always invested in the journey of the two main character souls that were clearly brought together by destiny. Particularly moving is the tale behind Chaske Spencer character as the Native American Soldier Scout Guide. His is a story that needed to be told in all its' painful layering depths without polishing over or Hollywood glorifying that role in anyway. As was the ugly fact that the US had psychotic soldiers doing what we'd call today horrific 'war crimes'. All in the name of their military that was already often cold-hearted and unconcerned with the indigenous people as a whole. A truth we should never forget as there were too many different dishonorable situations within: the "clearing" of the land, the Native American children "schools" and the Native Americans that served the US military. And through all of this heavy layering content, a clear love story builds in the most beautiful way between Chaske Spencer and Emily Blunts lead characters. The two of them alone carry you through with love in your own heart for them and the deep connection they discover in the power of being united through this journey.

[@Itsalaugh229]

The English is by far the best thing I have seen for years.

[@HerAeolianHarp]

By episodes four and five I wanted more scenes with this fantastic pair, but the screenwriters filled many scenes with some supporting characters in a kind of Coen Bros. grotesquerie style that felt far away from the powerful humanity of these two. I also wanted more and more Eli backstory. The final episode was so powerful, so moving. The last scene years later--no spoilers from me--also deeply moving and striving to show some respect for first nations and the mottled, tragic pageant of the history of the American West.

[@Wings91]

I just finished watching this, I hope it's possible they might make a second season????❤❤❤ Chaske's and Emily's acting was amazing, and their characters won my heart. Great acting from everybody, the bad guys were bad to the core, and the good guys just shone, especially Eli and Cornelia. And the end was so touching. I will be looking for these actors and director and writers to watch their work. And it's full of important stories.

[@marcynicholas5988]

Loved the series. Absolutely both heartbreaking and radiant. However, I have to say in these series of interviews with Blunt and Spencer, Blunt talks way too much, even when Spencer is answering a question directed to him. She seems anxious, uncomfortable in all of these interviews, and then gives off the impression that she has to rescue the interview and Spencer for the sake of the series. (I have seen several interviews of these two, different outlets. She's wearing the same shirt, so they must have done several of these in one day.)

She said it in front him at one point, in the Myers cabin. Not sure he knew for certain before that.

[@x_aj_x1157]

Probably her behaviour. Pulling away from him when they were getting intimate, her not wanting to take her gloves off, her saying she was "already dead", and her just generally being ill with fever in episode 5. He probably guessed that she was sick in some way but wasn't 100% sure what the deal was. She simply confirmed what it was in episode 6.
