Benjamin Walker Explains The Secrets Of Southernisms

[@MintyCanRead]

I wasn't previously aware of this guy, but he is quick-witted and that catapults him to superstar status in my books.

[@cdiers26]

I think they rehearse these... sorry to ruin it for u

[@hereiam587]

So Kaya went all the way to America and somehow managed to come back with the most English looking dude in the whole of the United States. She's certainly got a type.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

Dunno what is it with those southern getlemen and belle, eh? Must be their charm

[@melo7825]

I wonder where they live now

[@georgekoul]

Well it's an English surname. Almost certainly he has English origins

[@VeeMac]

Benjamin Walker where have you been all my life?! I just finished watching THE CHOICE and fell completely in love with Travis. ❤ Beautiful, heartfelt performance by Benjamin! I've watched it 3x in a row...ok...now 4.😊

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

"That pig is not for sale" Seriously had to hold in the spit take! :D

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

I tought that was mandatory!

[@68mlk]

Love him as Gil-galad! Also, he's hilarious here.

[@bookjunk4873]

Turns out Benjamin Walker is charming as hell.

[@rosering02]

I'd like to hear more of Stephen's southern accent. It definetly comes out when he's singing.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris7461]

It probably comes out stronger when he interacts with southerners or when interacting with his family members.

[@nancycampbellgibson2634]

One of my favorites is 'cash-money.'

[@animallover8855]

Recently heard a man say "Mom-en-em" and thought of this video...HILARIOUS...love the Southern expressions & accents

[@XinBiDe]

It's funny, he's the talented star of a Broadway musical, but every time I see him he comes across as such an introvert.

[@flightlessagbsls]

so...? I'm an introvert and I love performing on stage.

[@flightlessagbsls]

true dat

[@nitidiuscula]

I like the Southern way of putting a verb in future tense with "fixin' to" (often elided to "funna") rather than the more standard "going to"/"gonna"

[@MissPerriwinkle]

STAR !!!!! handsome, fun, brilliant actor.

[@quantumperception]

"Ya'll come back, now, ya'hear."

[@METALOZON]

Liam Neeson looks so young here.

[@magicpowers]

bacon umm

[@Kindiko]

Did u just call Kevin Spacey Liam Neeson?

[@joliecide]

He's like Neeson meets Bana

[@j.puebla1043]

Hahaha

[@margaritam.9118]

"Bless your heart". The queen of passive-aggressive phrases ;D

[@vaibhavgupta20]

amazing more of this.

[@Franncesscaa]

I can see why Kaya Scodelario married him.

[@Franncesscaa]

Yunchin Kim Yep, she met him on a movie set if I'm not mistaken.

[@kots5281]

Thurnis Haley they have a fucking baby haha

[@alohaoy]

Mamie Gummer married him first.

[@evankirenia]

Their kid I’m sure is CUTE as hell

[@Rememberme2305]

If they decided to reboot the DCEU, he could make a good Superman. He's playing the mild-mannered farmboy Clark Kent really well here

[@ManWithGoodHands]

It's an incredibly dry young Frank Underwood

[@rockmonst3r]

I guess I'm not the only one who saw a Kevin Spacey resemblance! :P

[@MrWeezer55]

"That pig is not for sale." I'm still laughing.

[@johnjhill3]

My first Southern Word was "Ommuhnuh," in a deep male voice. I overheard this in a mall, and at the speed of thought I wondered "Is he going into a Sesame Street routine?" Immediately, though, he finished his thought, ". . . git me a cuppa coffee here." So "Ommuhnuh" means " I intend to ..."

[@Crick1952]

lol, my grandpa would say that all the time

[@greendogg83]

+Frank Drebbin thats fuckin hilarious

[@freesimorgh]

Stephen is so proud of being southern but Benjamin just out southerned him!

[@janetta98]

Ben Walker is a hoot!

[@CelebornGaming]

Yooooo, it's the King of the Noldor! Last High King of the Elves!

[@danimation88]

Now this is just me, but this ben walker may be my candidate for the next superman

[@Annabelle18.98]

he looks more like Jeremy Northam / Eric Bana ^^ ... new fave after watching his heartfelt performance in The Choice

[@jordanw6918]

Bless his heart.

[@TheBigmed23]

This guy is hilarious !

[@mundaneamazing]

I'm actually a huge Blue Ridge Mountain fan after doing a motorcycle trip through them.

[@JohnPopcorn06]

Gil Galad!!

[@TerribleTimes]

As an ex Texan living in Canada, I can relate:)

[@t7y7_xm]

Gil - galad

[@JasonB95]

This interview was awkward, hilarious and insightful all at the same time.

[@antonofaolain7366]

Love it. Stephen is such a laugh, and Benjamin was hilarious too.

[@chrisninamartinez3851]

He's totally adorable!!!

[@Jazi5s]

He didn't know he was an interview with gil galad

[@B-Mag]

This guy would kill it as Harvey Dent. He is effortlessly charismatic but can pull off a person with skeletons in his closet. He is the perfect choice

[@JangMember_twobabies]

He could be a stand up comic. His answers feel like a legit stand up material.

[@lineoarlow5120]

Haha that last line was so... Colbert 😁

[@151Sharon]

Very funny interview 👍👍👍

[@chinchella3]

I hear people say "I might could go" and "buggy" instead of shopping cart

[@OfLegendBorn]

+Chella Born and raised in TN here, traveled all over the South, worked in AL, lived in GA briefly; I've _never_ heard anyone call it a "buggy." While some call it a shopping cart, most people call it simply a "basket." As in, "Go get us a basket for the groceries."

[@chinchella3]

Well, I had never heard the term either until I moved to Alabama... a basket is different from a shopping cart. It's the smaller BASKET as opposed to the cart on wheels.

[@dothedeed]

+Chella I've heard people call a shopping cart a buggy

[@tytompkins4218]

+dothedeed I am an Alabama native and we use "buggy" more than "shopping cart".Lol

[@eca1996]

Of Legend I Am Born I am from Georgia and my family calls it a buggy. Born and raised here and several generations on both my mom and dad's side.

[@Mr100Rupees]

Grew up 20 minutes from Cartersville and this made me honestly miss it! (don't adj why, can't really explain that one)

Good sir, that happens with awful autocorrect ;D

[@heathersmith4006]

I'm surprised no body has said "fixin" like "I'm fixin to go to the store." lol That's a favorite for us Alabama folks. :)

[@nickimacme]

Yeah, and he’s now also Gil-Galad in The Rings of Power, and we all know how Stephen loves his Tolkien lore!! 😂

[@randommm129]

y'all'd've is my favorite southern saying you all ought to have... for example, "y'all'd've come down here on Sunday instead of staying home"

[@notimefojibbajabba]

I live in georgia and maybe its because i live here but i cant think of anything super out of the ordinary. My extended family from illinois thought it was weird that i said "fridge" instead of refrigerator, but some of them also couldnt believe i didnt eat beans everyday and that i didnt live in a little house on the prairie with giant white columns and shit.

[@007NowOnline]

+Rusty Shakleford Wow, i never thought the word "fridge" would be considered a southern word.

[@notimefojibbajabba]

Teal'c I didnt think so either. Any non southerners here use it that way?

[@teslafoil1505]

+Rusty Shakleford I grew up near the Canadian border in upstate New York, and "fridge" was just as normal as "refrigerator".

[@notimefojibbajabba]

Tesla Foil figured, we dont say the things they said in the video. They reused old jeff foxworthy jokes.

[@jaschapreston5269]

Soren Stig Madsen brings me here when I see Benjamin Walker's face... I miss you Man!!!

[@MsCygnusX1]

Where's the iced tea in mason jars? The "Sweetness"? The porch at sunset? Man- I miss The Colbert Report!!

[@zzarazzarafile5207]

I love this convo, y'all .... So funny !! 😂😂🙆🏻

[@kparker905]

It's David from War Boys!!!

[@markcruz359]

I saw him in an Xmen Beast fancast so i thought id search him up on how he sounds. He kind of sounds like Christopher Reeve

[@cultfan5227]

I like how southerners say 'mash' instead of 'push'. As in "just mash that red button "

[@juliefrancis4504]

He is a brilliant actor

[@maodrehs]

Benjamin looks remind of Liam Neesom(dang did I mess up his name?) n Eric Bana combined.

[@wurblur9070]

This was almost word for word a Jeff Foxworthy bit.

[@internations6272]

Wow, I'm English student and of course, I didn't understand anything here regarding the jokes on the expressions in the South.. This is frustrating because I really love this guy and it is clear that this pair had a great time during the three minutes that last this video.. I'm gonna cry.. snif...

[@rhodaalanobernabe5167]

If they ever do a house of cards - the early days of the underwoods, there is your guy.

[@_paigejennings_]

Aye, Cartersville! (literally no one knows our town exists)

[@jinchuriki83]

He's so wow

[@paulramos4037]

Steph should have asked him the cooking there. Still, very educational!

[@genesiscda4847]

Me: Stephen Colbert sounds a little southern. 10 seconds later... Stephen Colbert: “I don’t have a southern accent anymore.”

He’s from Charleston.

As my Mother warned me about Florida living, "Be careful down here! They say one thing to your face and another behind your back!". Most of these types, though, are not natives of Florida. They're mostly from the bitter Midwest!
