Benedict is such a beautiful person

[@sarisariih]

English is not my language and I am still learning about it. But it's so nice to hear them talk, even if I don't understand everything they're saying, I watch the entire video with a silly smile on my face as if I understood hahaha

[@mff.513]

The talent between the pair of them; they couldn't have picked a better duo. Great job, Variety!

[@MrZackavelli]

They always pick the best duos

[@sarahjuliana17]

How intelligent, interesting & well spoken are these two!? I could listen to them converse all day!

[@anna_banana7019]

Absolutely love these two. What a perfect pairing. Claire is so relatable and genuine

[@m.h706]

Benedict's story about his dad is very moving

[@samfisher7953]

The best Sherlock Holmes ever

[@elizadubose1145]

It's so cute that they both said "no" or "stop" when the other acknowledged their talent

[@Mor_timer]

The Crown made me feel things ❤ Claire Foy ate that role up

[@peacefulpleb]

These two are just fab, some of the best talent in British drama.

[@SableSenegal]

I just love their accents!

[@krikydix]

Two lovely human beings. I'm charmed by Cumberbatch. I've loved him since he played Sherlock. And Claire, all I can say is wow! Of all the people that have played the royal family in film, Claire nails it brilliantly. I'm looking forward to more of her projects.

[@marielam1712]

Can't believe I just found out this interview existed... I love british people that's it

[@oscarfun100]

Yeh, this happened in 2018 but they uploaded it only 4 days ago? lol.

[@benzaiten933]

same here, and it's from 2018? was it a re-upload or truly the first time it hit YT?

[@CrAZychicke]

Loved Claire and Benedict in their projects. Loving all these conversations.

[@franchonbarron9432]

As a long time fan of both actors I'm so glad you paired them for this interview. I loved that they talked about the impact of fame on their lives. It's the elephant in the room isn't it? I wish them both the best of luck as they move forward in their careers. Thank you Variety.

[@Serenity113]

I just realized that they both did an indie film together. I love they're together for this interview.

[@feverspell]

I like the attention to detail the crew had; Claire's microphone is white so it doesn't stand out against her outfit, while Benedict's is black to match his blazer. Little things like that stick out, I suppose. Of course, they are two supremely talented actors, and I loved the interplay between them during the interview.

[@pictorya]

Great interview!! Two of the most extremely talented actors!! 🙌🏽✨👏🏽

[@PokhrajRoy.]

So happy to see this very British crossover 👏🏽

[@deckenneth]

Had the opportunity to meet him in the Virgin America first-class lounge (Clubhouse) in Boston on his way back to London after Black Mass while I was heading over for some business.. He was quite nice and comfortable chatting.

[@claramitchell746]

This was truly wonderful! Two actors who I enjoy watching, because of their passion for their craft of ‘storytelling!’👌🏾🌺❤️😊🇹🇹

[@anitahayne8621]

Such talented fantastic actors. Both are masters of their craft.

[@Marchaland]

What a time to be alive. Knowing that I live in the same planet and time with such wonderful people makes me so happy and I admire Cumberbatch so much. I wish I could meet him someday to say in person how much I admire and how he inspires so much.

[@sriram957]

I melt every time he goes: "Claire Foy..." haha

[@arsalanhasan2953]

I can't unsee Queen Elizabeth II in Claire Foy whenever I see her in some interview.

[@dorasrednicka]

I remember her from Going Postal. I loved her role there and from that moment I realized that she is absolutely brilliant.

[@itsdiegosant]

The Queen 👑 and the Doctor 🌀

[@valeriehenderson241]

Smart...would be very happy to be resuscitated by him, any time.

[@AWJavier0808]

I am in love with Claire Foy, her performance in woman talking it just my favorite performances from her i can wait to see her career 💕

[@Lilaspourmoi]

didn't know it was possible to love Cumberbatch more that I did 30 minutes ago, but it is. Patrick Melrose is an incredible series, truly amazing 💓

[@ChristopherHill-pd5ov]

Very nice couple. And fantastic actors!

[@Lanipooh1]

These two really feed my love for British people…extraordinary talent represented here

[@lisalivingston6473]

Claire Foy is a joy to watch in The Crown. I thought it was so interesting to hear how the director challenged her in different scenes. I'm sure it made for an unnerving experience, but also provided a great learning opportunity for her. I thought her performance in the film Breathe was brilliant. One powerful scene had no dialogue at all and was off-camera when she steps away to let out a wail and break into sobs when she hears her husband state that he does not wish to live confined to a wheelchair any longer. Such a heartbreaking scene!

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Damn, Benedict Cumberbatch is indeed hella charming and perceptive. It almost makes me sick to my stomach, the butterfly kind. Lol.

[@taylornicolehartman]

This interview was so fun!

[@tkinsey3]

I could watch these conversations all day. So fascinating.

[@IngeEvenwel]

Great actors, great interview. Thanks for sharing

[@teawrecks]

Claire Foy is the most precious creature on Earth

[@anderslarsen6009]

The Queen amd Sherlock Holmes in conversation.

[@the.mystictraveller]

They both acted in "The Electrical Life of Louis Wain" as husband and wife a few years after this interview..

[@fettkursiv2259]

All the american people watching this, having a hard time understanding the accent, the vocabulary, the humour or any of the cultural references. Love it.

[@MTMF.london]

Nah, mate. Don't make sweeping statements like this - makes you sound arrogant. Some of them may not understand all of it but more than a few of them get it - Americans have been the biggest fans of the British/English world and they are obsessed with the British royalty.

[@tulac1011]

I've been living in the U.S. for about 20 yrs. I was born in Turkey. English is my second language. I understand the whole conversation and most of the references. What I don't understand is what you were trying to say.

[@anna_banana7019]

Would love to see David Tennant do these. Potentially with Benedict. Would be amazing. Maybe it’s too similar to his podcast though

[@C4rL72]

only clicked on this to watch 2 mins.....35mins later, awesome .

[@specteramber]

I love how chill they both are, while most actors doing these are so stiff and careful about wording, it looks almost painful

[@dogdrovenorth]

BC to CF: You're the full package. You're the real deal.

[@paula19100]

What a great duo and an interesting conversation!

[@meg151]

This pair could possibly be among the best duos made in humankind.

[@mrsx7944]

They could be a couple.

[@IngeEvenwel]

Loved the Crown when Claire played the late Queen

[@rmannayr2129]

CLAIRE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@betsykroll6583]

Wow magical pair❤❤

[@deepthir503]

I really enjoyed watching this ❤❤

[@shbrnqll]

Lovely!! My faves actors 💕

[@MichaelH416]

I want to see her reprise Lisbeth Salander again. She was awesome in that role.

[@rmannayr2129]

CLAIRE IS SO TALENTED!

[@paulrowe9604]

Clare Foy is so talented !!! Brilliant beyond words ! She is going to have a Big future !

[@alexandrabogner9638]

Although I know what he means, actors are by no means of "no use to society". For people like me they are absolutely essential in so many ways.

[@_adrian_sean]

I love that he spoke life into her when she doubted herself

[@ZafarbekAlimxanov]

I love them

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Ian mckellen mentions his father whose stage name it not Cumberbatch during a one man show. Ian asked if his son wanted to be an actor. The father said he would have to change his name. "Could you imagine being an actor like Benedict Cumberbatch? "

[@helenaaraujo6324]

Claire❤

[@jadepercival2287]

“i AM david. i AM david.”

[@MTMF.london]

Lovefest with two luvies.

[@joshuaelliot1]

So amazing however you need consistency in your titles. It will help with keyword searches (Long tail ect.)

[@ej3016]

amen for handshakes and chatting rather than selfies - seems Queen Elizabeth (real not Clare) has actually commented to her staff about how walk abouts have changed with people holding up phones and tablets and she sees those rather than faces - I’d rather have the memory of an experience than the photograph

[@perryjones7771]

Claire and Jessie Buckley were ROBBED OF OSCAR NOMINATIONS for “Women Talking”.

[@flatoutt1]

Claire Foy will always be the heroine ,Erin [hero's ,we need them but they can make you feel really uncomfortable with their unconscious nudging to do better ]for me from the really upsetting and riveting tv series "the promise ". so i'm stuck in a time warp and happy about it . haven't got around to watching the crown .

[@lincimpi1337]

This is the first time I've seen this so they've probably come a long way in their thinking and understanding but he says he wants to direct and then consistently hits his mic or leans into Claire's frame like man you're a darn good actor aren't you meant to know the angle of the camera and to stop hurting to the sound department 😂

[@sujata15164]

Benny❤

[@lizbethespinoza9196]

this is the most british interview ever.

[@arsenalfansince1994]

This is from 2018, i thought it was from recently.

[@rmannayr2129]

CLAIRE IS A GREAT ACTRESS!

[@hollyeggert9426]

Please edit to allow Claire Foy the stage. I'm very interested in her memories and thoughts about The Crown!

[@janapruskova3620]

That was lovely! However, those unequal audio levels distracted me from otherwise perfectly good interview.

[@alamode000]

Can Carey mulligan and claire foy do a movie together please?

[@Kiwimarauder]

Another great one. I found the "presented by shutterstock" pop-up to be distractijg, though

[@VonBlade]

To me this is Martin Crieff talking to Adora Dearheart. I accept I'm alone in this and most people think it's Sherlock/Dr Strange talking to nobody of note.

[@Kelsphere12]

why is this video unlisted?

[@TD-donald]

why why?

[@ApexPredator21]

Why why why?

[@deemura]

I think they restored it😂

[@Tyta1978]

2 brits ❤

[@withanopenheart]

So interesting, all the episodes I’ve watched of these, if there is a male and a female interviewing each other, the man will always dominate in one way or another. Verbally or body language.

[@ЕлизаветаХан-р5щ]

Послезавтра буду читаьь как рейган

[@patmctallica3522]

I`m honest! I swear to all my metal records! I`m a Cumberbitch! Onof the dreatest gifted actors ever! And he seams so humble! Greets from Vienna! 🤘🤘

[@biggSHNDO]

My god the exposure on this episode is far too low for the value of these episodes and the big names attached. Algorithm slipping

[@Football__is__life-k]

Stephen strange looks handsome man

[@joanne4692]

Benadict, you didnt condem, my German shephards. ,Star. Guess what, she died of. Kidney failure. I bet yiur glad, tiu didn't keep to the script. Vets. Thank you so much.i out kbow. 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤😢😢😢

[@rmannayr2129]

IT'S CLAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@soijustlistenedto...]

tyra banks would call claire a "no neck monster" if she sees the thumbnail

[@ЕлизаветаХан-р5щ]

Хахаха как бцдто моя жизнь весь фильм с разным сценарием

[@UserTenNumbers]

How is this video dated to Oct 12, 2023, but there are comments from 5 years ago?

[@deemura]

Probably was uploaded 5 years ago and then it got immediately made private and now they just made it public again

[@MTMF.london]

It's the posted date.

[@joshfredr7846]

Waiting for Steven Segal and Chuck Norris....That will be epic!

[@MTMF.london]

I am not sure they could string up a whole coherent sentence between the two of them 🤣

[@tampham6683]

Can you add English subtitles on this video please? I don’t understand clearly what they said🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@MTMF.london]

They are speaking English.

[@heatherboardman7004]

I would give up English if you cannot understand these two

[@V_2009_tz]

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

Claire foy looks and sounds like an older adult version of Millie bobby Brown.

[@jospenner9503]
