Jimmy: ''You're the only one who hated the 80s!'' Christoph: ''Well, I'm the only one who remembers them''. LOL

[@jefflong1799]

I don't get it.. You mean everybody was high or something? EVERYBODY remembers the 80's.

[@jefflong1799]

@@danielwhittaker695 LOLOL..

[@MasterXploder88]

When Jimmy says he is the only one who hates the 80's, Waltz is saying the 80's were bad and people who didn't hate them like him don't remember them well enough. His way of turning it back on jimmy and saying in that case i'm the only intelligent one.

[@HeyThereGlalie]

Waltz was brilliant in Django.

[@ryanscottnix]

Ya! I absolutely loved him in that movie, too. I understand that he only accepted that role under one condition: that his character would never do anything evil.

[@HeyThereGlalie]

As in racist lol but good point 

[@Kickex]

Better in inglourious basterds

[@HeyThereGlalie]

We are all entitled to put own opinion, I get that! However, Hans opening scene when he first encounters Django and has the shootout is magnificent.

[@Zarvale]

Richard Reyes Totally agree, that opening scene was unbelievable, and it continues in the next town...that character is so off-beat but believable...so many great performances in that movie from Foxx, DiCaprio, Jackson, et. al. and he still steals large parts of that movie.

[@matthewmicsa4965]

If Christoph Waltz does another movie made by Quentin Tarantino, he'll win another Oscar for sure. He's such a great actor.

[@Cheruka]

2 oscars, pretty underrated

[@nickprezzo]

[@kristenkruuse4340]

underrated ? I think that DiCaprio is more underrated :D Waltz has 2 Oscars, DiCaprio have none of them. LoL.

[@kristenkruuse4340]

***** If he was a overrated, he had 2 or more Oscars at least....

[@rascalofjoy3006]

2 Oscars, 3 Golden Globe nominations winning 2 with a possibility of winning another, 2 Baftas, 2 screen actors guild, a Cannes Film Festival Award for best actor and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 5 years in Hollywood and that is underrated ? He is not underrated and is quite respected in the industry. What is going on is that he is being typecast which is a shame but I still think he will win another Oscar.

Morgan Freeman's voice is a bit more powerful. Well, was. He's getting old, and I think it is starting to affect his voice after all of this time. Shame, his voice acting was always incredible.

[@thecaptain5300]

Genious comment. Didn't thought that before reading it.

[@BeatlEPMJo]

Christof Waltz is brilliant. He might not be as widely known and famous as Hollywood actors but his performances are Art at its best. He is Europoean after all, don't care much about all that hollywood glamour and still Hollywood loves him, 2 Oscars! What's there not to love, pure talent is difficult to neglect.

[@DropTehBazz]

[@vvekmathew]

I was thinking the same. What an actor!!

[@isaacl.baldeonguerra1623]

In fact, he went full Hans Landa at that point. The guy is a great actor but you can't deny is somewhat terrifying.

[@neal2399]

My favorite part about Quentin will always be how unapologetically excites he is about his work. Waltz describing what it’s like to read a script in front of him makes him seem like such an eager kid at heart that it’s no wonder everyone who works with him loves him. The man’s a maniac and has more than a few screws loose, and that’s exactly why he’s so great.

[@diyanamaya]

I love Christoph Waltz

[@iambatman2925]

I love his voice so much, its like so sophisticated and nice.

[@Alopex1]

"...and you took the other exit." This man is just brilliant :D

[@kasnitch]

there aren't enough superlatives in English to describe this man's acting genious

[@PalaceDude]

This is probably the only interview I've watched of Mr Waltz that is actually not awkward, most of the rest are just ridiculous where stupid interviewers are not getting along with him. Really, bravo Jimmy Kimmel, bravo.

[@StrawberryBlond21]

Graham Norton was not awkward as well haha, he laughed a lot

[@PalaceDude]

StrawberryBlond21 YEAH! lol

[@caraYmii]

They did another interview and that one was painfully awkward, about the 4th of July I think, which is a shame, since Kimmel usually does interviews well. I think the topic of conversation plays a huge role in how the interview goes. Kimmel did a really good job in this one, but the other one was... not good.. but I think that one was also deleted from his youtube page and re-uploaded by someone else.

[@excelsior8682]

That's because all of the other interviewers have the collective IQ of a cockroach

[@DPMusicStudio]

Then I definitely don't want to watch those... I felt that even this one was painful to watch. Waltz is just too authentic to "bullshit"... It's refreshing.

[@ivandovranic1001]

I am smiling through the interview, primarily on Waltz's answers, until "You the only one who hated the eighties!," - "I'm the only one who remember the eighties!" got me laughing aloud. Terrific comeback.

[@toxicclown2336]

the way Waltz described Quentin letting him read his script, reminds me of a son showing his dad some new idea hoping for his dad to be just as enthusiastic about it

[@KA-xf1xp]

Wow it makes me weirdly happy that this guy has the same accent in real life

[@jamesa6494]

Tarantino actually directed an episode of jimmy kimmel live 10 years ago.

[@jamesa6494]

***** I couldn't believe it had been that long either but apparently that episode aired in April 2004. Although, I just read that Tarantino didn't actually direct it, they only made it seem that way by incorporating his style and Tarantino played along.
