David Oyelowo Stayed In Character As MLK, Much To His Wife's Chagrin

[@joanr6915]

From an English/Brit, he has the most wonderful diction - I could listen to his voice for hours. What a lovely guy.

[@HeiLong24]

What a genuinely endearing individual (they both are, really). This interview is so dang awesome!

[@BigBrianStormer]

Absolutely.

[@fitihab]

lol..Calling that "Tourette's" is ridiculous! That is not really African. Only few people can do that and I bet you aren't an actor.

[@claribelngundu2204]

Yeah we Africans are amazing that way

[@ghettablkgffb]

@@claribelngundu2204 African ? All I see is two white people having a conversation

[@mrnineandahalf3001]

For not knowing who this man was, this interview was really awesome. He's hilarious, confident, speaks well, and also Colbert and him have great conversation chemistry!

[@olivermitchell4968]

David needs his own talk show, I love this guy

[@myusername8775]

He came to Saudi Arabia (where i live) for the Misk Forum a few months ago, and to be honest I didn’t know who he was at the time. But i was completely taken with his intelligence and how respectful he was, truly a great individual

[@auto_math]

He's got one of these friendly faces, so sweet.

[@sharonmusa2454]

I am Nigerian and I have never been this PROUD

[@Blullaby]

I love David ! He seems like a great human ! Also, his whole family looks gorgeous ❤

[@slindilengcobo3235]

So in love with David Oyelowo. Could a human being be more lovely 😊 😻

The Last British Nigerian Prince David Oyelowo

[@Kemachris]

He can have my 10.000£ to help him get back his gold!

[@minervaloves]

Chris Hansen Hartmann 😂 😂

[@MT-eo6tq]

No, KSI is The Last British Nigerian Prince

[@DE-hi9mc]

@Chris Hansen Hartmann -No actually,he doesn't need it as he can buy your whole lineage.

[@tnavtnav6178]

TankInAmerica not the last but definitely a patron for those to come...

[@kpaterson9717]

He is fantastic and the movies he has done need to be watched

[@vintageinidierocker]

Oyelowo it is in his name oye means crown lowo honor. his name means the crown has honor. thus meaning he is from a royal family

[@Locktwiste72]

Yes, especially as in real life he has a royal bloodline

[@apatadamilola176]

Oye mean title like a chieftaincy title. So it means title has honor but for crown it means Ade. So there's Adelowo and Oyelowo

[@TheClitteratidublin]

No way! I used to work in staff scheduling for hospitals. Many doctors, nurses and healthcare assistants from Nigeria. I definitely people with Oye in their names.

[@desigirl567]

his expressions are hilarious I would love to see him in comedies

[@mr.womblordofunmercifultor190]

Samuel L. Jackson for the next bond... Sam: And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fuuuurious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Bond, James Bond, when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Waiter: Dude, I just asked if you wanted it shaken or stirred. Sam: Oh. Shake that motherfucker. I can literally do the entire script in this comment.

[@vishnucena789]

Mr. Womb: Lord of Unmerciful Torment Please ...do continue

[@the_frozen_tortoise]

Honestly, that movie sounds so bad that it's good. Considering bond films were never meant to be high quality, I say do it.

[@herb_a_day]

You wrote this so well, I can hear his voice 😂

[@himamamo]

Interview that respects the minds of people is really appreciated thank you 🙏🏾 Colbert, both are genuine & amazing 😉

[@TheGstein]

Seems like a cool guy.

[@amazingdamy5012]

I love the way he carries himself.

[@isaacoguns]

Amazing guy DAVID OYELOWO! Great Interview. Loved Queen of Katwe

[@bvanbove]

How did I not know he was English? Why are there so many great, black, English actors?!?!?

[@rickdeckard5719]

Dude, it's a British thing.

[@bvanbove]

Rick Deckard Everything just sounds more awesome in a British accent. The right one though...some just sound like nonsense.

[@grahampalmer]

Brett Van Boven ... Ah, very very true dear Brett. You are obviously a man of great intellect. There are those of us that have the choicest of British accents and yet others who sound like pitiful dolts. Just popping off now, 'tis time for cream scones, tally ho!

[@fredgfysmith6171]

Graham Palmer i have noticed that English people who are educated have less of a accent and those with a lesser education seem to have very stronger more of a stereotype accent. Is their any truth to that?

[@grahampalmer]

None at all.

[@justinaikwen8481]

David Oyelowo is too cute. Hope to meet him and his family one day.

[@roundid]

Way too cute to be Bond

[@MonikaLukunde]

Love this guy

[@melrest3453]

Oh my gosh, love this guy!!!

[@b2manatees]

Now that was an interview.

[@froehlic004]

This was a very good interview. I'd be fine with him being the next Bond.

[@skumwoy3641]

To be fair i think he would be a great James Bond

[@shadowfragment]

He can definitely pull off the charm. I'm not terribly familiar with his work though, and talk shows aren't exactly violent, so I'm not sure how well he'd pull off the physicality and convincing mean-streak. Being inherently charismatic, like he is, is probably the more difficult part of the role, but it can be difficult to portray yourself as authentically tough.

[@shadowfragment]

Wasn't it Colbert that brought it up in the John Oliver interview a few days ago?

[@shadowfragment]

I can't speak for the comments, but Stephen would have been joking

[@afroslacker7383]

him or Idris Elba as bond would be great.

[@anoriolkoyt]

Maybe. Elba has already shown a great "bad ass" acting which is great. My hopes are on Elba.

[@Locktwiste72]

David Oyelowo plays James Bond in one of the latest Bond audiobooks

[@sriharsha5036]

good convo

[@hinaz85]

Gosh this man is so fascinating

[@curiousgangsta]

wow, another amazing interview, Stephen!

[@Bella_Rei]

Trevor Noah should be interviewing this guy. lol

Wait, David Oyelowo is Agent Kallus??? This has made my day!

[@DemonDarakna]

David Oyelowo is one of the most entertaining and funny people I've ever seen.

[@trancedoutkid]

but what color curtains did he choose??

But what colour curtains did you pick?!

[@djenaba5024]

Hes so damn charming mannnn

[@unstoppablefalse]

Poor David, as if he's never heard the email joke before

[@scardee-cat2697]

I'm glad they're using him as Scar for the lion king remake :D

[@Nazaba09]

You're thinking of Chiwetel Ejiofor-- a different Black Englishman.

[@robotsongs]

[@sguti392]

He has had great movies and great plays but I saw him and first thought Kallus

[@KiraBaka1]

Get Idris Elba as bond!!!!

[@ditirojimmysegang3009]

I know it's a film and all but the truth behind is that Seretse Khama was a prince to a tribe in Botswana,not the whole country. Just like a Yuruba Prince is not necessarily a Nigerian prince 🤔he's a Yuruba prince.

[@tarantino900]

Agent Kallus. Or should I say Fulcrum.

[@DippKlippGuy]

What is it with Nigerian English actors playing traitors? xD

[@manuelpolanco6109]

Turns out David was right about Daniel Craig not being done with Bond.

[@dandanswang]

oh-yellow-woah?????? so so so so so wrong

[@kigozimuhammad]

ha! funny

[@ade8419]

dandanswang I was hoping that he wouldn't butcher his name too tough. but dayum

[@MrDemonicDan]

I cringed every time

[@ItsDesha]

That's how David himself says to pronounce it "The actor said he tells people to put an 'o' either side of 'yellow'" So seems like Stephen said it perfectly then :) If you don't believe me, look it up on The Independent. They have a video of David himself saying it.

[@ade8419]

And imma let you know that we Africans tell people who can't pronounce African names to pronounce it in a way that they can. I'm telling you, that's not how his parents would say it

[@richardbold3076]

Dude just 99% confirmed Craig as Bond in the next film. How is it not news?

[@patatedoucebb2919]

Richard Bold Craig straight up stated he will not play bond again

[@_IK3LZ3Y_]

beautiful family!

[@neobridge90]

Guys, Botswana is not a monarchy. We don't have crown princes and kings here. We have chiefs (tribal leaders) and an elected parliament (with a president and ministers).

[@tameshewolf]

In love.

[@dowoyele]

4:44 I was scared my self. Maybe David Oyelowo should have played Idi Amin

[@AMOE_30]

Forest has a closer body shape and resemblance to Amin than David.

Good Afternoon! Good health to you and family, I hope this KZbin comment does not so much startle you, as surprises you. Yes, I am THE Prince Kommanda Karoma of Zaire, and I am in great need of assistance. My father, the King was deposed in the recent conflict in the Congo, the rebel leaders are putting pressure on me to release my father's funds to them, but I refuse. All I need from you is to open a bank account and receive the funds, in good faith, take your commission and leave the rest for investment in Europe. Please, to aid the wiring of money from my wartorn country to yours, please leave your name, social security number, credit card number, your current address, your mother's maiden name, the name of your first pet, and your opinion of hummus as a comment. Thank you for your time and dedication to free democracy in beautiful Africa.

[@geebster.]

I was almost first...

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Interesting story about MLK. He was simply misquoted. When he was young, he also fell for a pastor's daughter; actually, twin daughters. He dreamed about them both for years, desperately coveting them both. Years later, when he finally got two women into bed at the same time, he yelled, 'Three at last, three at last, thank god almighty, three at last!'. His followers outside the room misheard what he was saying, because they could only guess what they were hearing from behind the door to the room.

If you had a brain and actually based concepts on functional truths, you would understand contamination and mold. Dry compressed powder is susceptible to such problems. Thus why pills are a pale colour gives better contrast. Plus one of the most famous pills are Blue (wink wink),

[@technoteardown4481]

I think it's ridiculous to think that the British Empire should have given up their gold and uranium supplies, just so that these guys could have their cake and eat it too. The British did the only logical and reasonable thing, but this guy is too self centered to see it.
