CBS This Morning - Ralph Fiennes on "Coriolanus" directorial debut

Actor Ralph Fiennes speaks to the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts about his directorial debut and title role in the modern take on Shakespeare's tragedy "Coriolanus."

[@dcoll87pr]

I love his voice and mannerisms. He hunches and looks up with his head leaning down....so darn endearing!

[@friedawaters5077]

CBS NEWS....Ralph Fiennes just mite be the most talented actor today & all yesterdays. His performance as Heathcliff in WUTHERING HEIGHTS is the most hypnotic, mesmerizing performance one can ever hope to see. I fell in love watching this man do what he does. It's MAGIC !

[@valentinazuzic2150]

Frieda Waters He is so amazing.Great actor especially his Amon Goeth.

[@detectivefiction3701]

Only the truly great can be so modest as Ralph Fiennes always is.

[@hannabthemd]

Favorite Actor of all time... EVER :)

[@paintitblack144]

It always surprises me how patient Ralph is about explaining his name.

[@RocketRoketto]

the man's been in the business for over 30 years, you'd think at some point, they'd figure it out.

[@LillianRay14]

What are u on about they said it right

[@AndraFoxy]

Love you Ralph Fiennes!!! Love all about you and what you are doing!

[@helenogbonna3361]

Please work with fam

[@valeferht]

Coriolanus is a wonderful film, is dense and so theatrical. Love it. Ralph is extraordinary.

[@Tualzia17]

Such a fantastic talent.

[@galnic61]

my favorite actor! thanks for this clip

[@tangoseven70]

I'm impressed, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised, by how well-spoken he is. And the final confrontation between Coriolanus and his mother is for me as well the "humanizing" and most interesting part of the play, well-justifying its translation to film. I watched the movie in a small theater last night and though it's not perfect it has really stayed with me all day, so much that I was reading the play online during my free moments at work.

[@75goodies]

Brilliant film. I'd give it 20 Oscars. One of the most powerful films I've seen for a long time and highly relevant to today's political problems in the world xx

[@issagahan6693]

One of my eternal crushes, love you Ray!

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

[@JadedTheatre]

Love you Ralph! Don't change a thing about yourself.

[@lmc2664]

The actor gave a brilliant response to the hostess who asked him if he’d consider to change his name. Why should he???

[@karinaviolet1301]

the first i knew you in onegin and i'm in love with your acting... and then i search anything about your movies and information about you.. you really nice in every interview.. someday i want to meet you...i hope.. and take your picture with your beautiful eyes and smile... ^^

[@BigRalphFiennesFan]

[@water2chick]

So many people crushing on him. -.- Sure, he's thirty years older than me and hotter than the African sun... But... I'm interested in him as a human. I would live to pick that brain of his. I wish we could be pen pals or something...

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

also just known as 'the sun'

[@friedawaters5077]

Yes. Nobody better!!

[@jacksonfev]

I love that he's talking about a movie related to a mindless mob while talking to a mindless mob. hahahaha

[@ipodfreak898]

Every time I hear his voice, I'm like: WHAT THE HELL?! How does Voldemort come out of that attractive face? Amazing man!

[@detectivefiction3701]

In real life, Ralph Fiennes has one of the softest voices I've ever heard from a man.

[@RocketRoketto]

Have you seen him in Strange Days, good lord almighty, just all around illegal to be that good looking with the long hair and the leather pants being a total dealer.

[@storytimereadaloudwithjanessa]

[@hitanrun1997]

He`s back!

[@DMMA0726]

I won't rest until I become his first and only trophy wife.

[@mo2alayla989]

That movie is a hit

[@83annak]

Ralph has an interesting opinion when it comes to what is 'contemporary'...LOL, but yeah, Shakespeare is still relevant and Fiennes is an excellent actor.

[@mesielein]

konnte mich noch nicht dazu entschließen, den Film anzusehen..

[@blarg534]

He probably only wishes he had changed his name so that he wouldn't have to deal with the constant questions about it.

[@mcg413]

You know, it annoys me when films like Scott Pilgrim and Treasure Planet become box-office bombs, but it really fucking pisses off to know that this film, a relevant Shakespeare adaptation that has something of actual worth to say, got $1 million at the box office out of a $10 million budget, but people flocked immediately to see shit like Breaking Dawn and Underworld 4.

[@NadiiaChristina]

hes so hot.

[@TheMoony107]

Why would you change his name?! It's totally awesome/epic!

[@elleoneiram]

Dang, sad he had to be cut off at the end!

[@mcg413]

To be fair, most newscasters have brains sharing the same consistency and size asa jar of Gerber brand applesauce.

[@udlman]

This was an awful interview! Clearly the presenters didn't know, or care, anything about the film or the actor. Then he cuts him off when Fiennes finally gets a half decent question to answer. And to display the header, "A Very Fiennes Film' is so pathetic it defies belief.

[@angliss108]

He played rameses on the Prince of Egypt

[@ElectrikkPaperClipxx]

dilfiness at its finest

[@75goodies]

Change his name? Please Americans, get some history lol. It's an old Norman French/Old English name x

[@claraalexander4924]

voldemorrrt....

[@maelisath]

cambiar su nombre paraque ? es como decirle que deje de ser EL MISMO! QUE AMERICANOS ESTOS NO?

[@AmyBrandlin]

I like your name--Ralph means wolf so you cancel out hitler who called himself a wolf-- glad you connect with your mom- searched to read her work w/o luck! :-(

[@ivyneeson]
