Don Cheadle and Kerry Washington Talk Life in Hollywood

[@drshema]

I really wish all these so-called "celebrity" interviews were like this. Two intelligent, articulate individuals who just happen to be celebrities, thoughtfully and eloquently answering very intelligent questions. very very great, hopefully there will be more of these!

[@Alione]

I loved the "ebb and flow" between the actors. It was refreshing to have an interviewer pose a question, and allow us to experience the many paths the answers lead us down.

[@Directoryofpuertorico]

It helps that they did not seem to be promoting any particular project. They were just having conversation. Loved it!!

[@PunofHarts]

I don't know why you chose the two of them for an interview about life in hollywood, but i am glad you did. This was an extremely insightful interview and I feel like i know them better than i ever have before

[@rievans57]

The interviewer is excellent. He asks his question and then he gets the hell out the way and lets these two fascinating people answer.

[@hation100]

Two amazing actors who really understand the industry they're working in and are so articulate and eloquent about it is both rare and amazing.

[@asiajackson3070]

Ever so often I come back to this interview and watch it like I’ve never seen it before! It’s just so refreshing and has so much quality. I’ve seen it like 5 or 6 times and each time, I’m just as into it as the first time. It’ll never get old for me. Thank you Kerry and Don!

[@MelissaBennett]

The best interview I've seen in a long time

[@nirf22]

First time Kerry didn't take the lead w/ answering questions. Don is the man. Very articulate and seasoned. Really enjoyed this interview...not the same old questions.

[@ChristopherCherry02]

They are both giving so much truth right now. I love this interview.

[@InnerAndOuterBeauty1]

The best interview I have watched in a long time. So well spoken and their views are so unique however they are both so real and fun, that the serious questions are actually entertaining to watch. Freshing is the word to describe this interview

[@Schubert34]

really enjoyed this interview Kerry and Don are so well spoken and had such interesting/insightful things to say. The art is schools issue is something that I also want to get involved with if I ever get the chance. Thanks so much for posting!

[@LuKasAV6]

Thoughtful, sincere, unpretentious. Kerry and Don are refreshing. Outstanding conversation!

[@33najones]

[@davinapinder1269]

Totally agree with you guys. It is great watching highly intelligent actors interact with each other on this level.

[@CarlCollins86]

Great Interview! Don Cheadle is a classy down to earth brotha and Kerry Washington...Always takes your breath away with her class, wit and beauty! Much much more success to each of them!

[@Mrsdevsgirl]

Kerry Washington and Don Cheadle, beautiful, smart and articulate...Great interview questions and even better intelligent answers..

[@Wheelsgr]

This is an AMAZING interview and the two complement one another so well, overlapping on all of the questions in really interesting ways. WELL DONE!

[@nells317]

This is an amazing interview. These guys are serious about their craft and about the issues they care about.

[@Ms123Jen]

Exactly, thought that straight away, you can tell Kerry was feeling his energy, clearly he is that kind of guy.

[@Nada07able]

I've loved her since Our Song, had a crush ever since. I've loved Don Cheadle since Devil In A Blue Dress. He was my dad's favorite actor.

[@stevenponder8062]

This was outstanding. Cheadle is impressive, indeed....

[@SinaLaJuanaLewis]

Loved this!

[@teddteddy1539]

great interviewer Jon, very thoughtful questions, not the same boring questions. you love your job and really have a career

[@sajdahsabree9691]

Don Cheadle is so magnificent. I so adore him . love almost all his work especially Rosewood and A Lesson Before Dying.

[@nfahwi]

I feel like I already wrote this, but GREAT interview Variety. Great questions and great choice of actors. Absolutely great.

[@cathiehenry1720]

I love kerry and don even more after watching this

[@CherieButler]

I agree with my fellow youtuber's this is a great interview, the questions were great and show a lot of forethought and the I just love, love, love these actors.

[@McReins]

She is a beautiful woman times infinity. Cheadle, do your thing sir awesome interview!

[@Auntkekebaby]

Love these two

[@addiebrice6001]

So I love Don Cheadle more. So insightful and calming. Kerry Washington awesome and flawless as always.

[@Directoryofpuertorico]

I loved his answers and I think he is great but i wish he did not jump to answer first each time. Kerry was very gracious but he demonstrated a wee bit of chauvinism here.

[@cashandrataylor]

Great interview love them both

[@beyluv2]

I love them. True inspirations for me.

[@awdreamer2012]

I haven't watched the interview yet - I just love these two people so much that I'm going to say that before it starts.

[@support2832]

On my third viewing, great interview....learned a lot. Thank you!

[@ukorofi]

Such a great interview!

[@mpenny226]

[@jmnny85]

Wow! I watched this whole thing- I don't often do that- Lol- A Great incisive chat! Wonderful interaction between interviewer/Kerry/Don.

[@shogekimura]

i must say, i liked Cheadle before this interview, but afterwards I dig him so much more now

[@Badwolf5630]

very good interview

[@DragonBellyTravels]

Easy to love, Cheadle...oh, I could listen to his down-to-earth intellect all day. xo.

[@RedNoir]

Kerry's hair and nails....are on point!

[@bluefolktronica]

"who you are..yuck...eeew" -hilarious. This was a great interview. Vulnerability really is the key to connection. It's hard as hell though...especially when you think you're gross. hahaha!

[@samwalters9712]

Loved this.

[@carlatification]

Don Cheadle ROCKS!!!!

[@mbira1122]

she lets him speak because she respects him, unlike other co-stars that she talks over, he is like a father figure to her, she can learn from him

[@YoungGazaGirl876]

lovely interview because the questions were good and two intelligent people giving lovely insight sn: LOVE Kerry's nails

[@fredhandy2063]

Great interview. The lighting people should have blocked that full sun off Don's left a little more. Come on Variety. These are big stars.

[@ValerieDeniseJones]

They made (make) me proud. As a woman (a woman of color)... fill in the blank. I totally love (appreciate) this interview. Empowered. Perfectly Imperfect...

[@ThePinkKiwi1995]

really love that Kerry one of my new fav actresses brought up Julie Andrews my longest fav actress

[@Doomer253]

She is one lovely lady

[@wesley0421]

Great interview

[@asiajackson1550]

who knew Kerry had such a crush on Don Cheadle lol. They were really vibing.

[@violasofiadesanna5744]

Kerry's so smart and PROUD, and that's so damn great! Feminist 'a respect girl

[@RedNoir]

Nails and hair yeses! Miss Kerry Baby! She's killing it. #fashionkilla

[@jeremybarton9520]

[@wiGGnZ33]

this was perf.

[@inezlang-brown4807]

very interesting! There is more to it than just getting up on the stage and mouthing words. One has to really give of themselves!

[@IvoirRienna]

OMG, Annie Alexander I see that you like Kerry Washington just like me...hahaha how nice! We should form the KW fan club LOL

[@xKineticSparks]

I love him!!!!!

[@wondersdancing]

"Kerry Washington became the first Black actress in almost two decades, since Cicely Tyson in 1995 for Sweet Justice, to land a lead drama actress Emmy nomination. When Cheadle earned his first nom for Showtime’s House Of Lies last year, he was the first Black actor nominated in the category in a decade, since Bernie Mac in 2003 for The Bernie Mac Show." - Nellie Andreeva, Deadline 7/18/13 (This is for people asking why Variety chose them)

[@peace4792]

Wow Kerry is so Beautiful!

[@22221mm]

[@rievans57]

What Kerry Washington said about vulnerability is so true. A good example is work of the great actor Burt Lancaster. Dude could reach inside pull his guts out and hand them to you.

[@RACKITBALL]

I love them.

[@fjones0748]

Kerry makes me proud to be classy.

[@LaBonneSauvage]

I don't know why but this made me lol so hard!

[@ReneeDeborah]

These two extremely accomplished and talented actors are talking about their craft and the predominant conversation here is about appearance, particularly the woman's appearance. Hmmmm.....

[@janetta98]

'Jeppetto-ing'!

[@blooddye]

Wow! So refreshingly honest :)

[@khourtniwebb9542]

This Interview sheds some light on black females and males.

[@hughes40]

wow

[@rositagroeneweg]

price sticker is under her shoes.. :)

[@Panamaschild]

Yeah I definitely saw it too! I know he's married but...

[@SONJEE]

Well, I dont know if you are going to like who Kerry has chosen as her love....he is not a black man....actually he is someone that works closely with her and that have a lot of "chemistry" with each other!! I am so excited for her!

[@loriwitherspoon5549]

Why is the tag still stuck to the bottom of her shoe??? come on director, get it together. Jeez

[@nhikmnjuyhnbgtvfreda]

17:18 that is moving.

[@fjones0748]

I love Kerry good luck on your marrige.

[@cocoapeach]

I'm going to risk coming off as a total girl in here by saying "Omg! They would be such a CUTE COUPLE!!!" I know I can't be the only one who sees their chemistry together lol.

[@quilijohn8634]

@Traceylove83 - Through her mother, Kerry also has British, Scottish, Native American, but her mother also descended from enslaved Africans in the Caribbean. Through her mother, she was a cousin to the late former Secretary of State Colin Powell. A lot of mixed races in the US. It is a melting pot.

[@yaneisautumn3568]

Kerry Wants Don. I Swear she keeps giving him the "Just take me now" look

[@shogekimura]

agreed

[@pearlgenuine]

Kerry knows how to pull the men in, and get them to admire her. There is a lot of men crushing on her,and it is so clear to see why.

[@thankunext1625]

Yaneis Autumn she has a husband lol

[@MenengaiCrater]

Kerry keeps crossing her arms..was she nervous? great interview nevertheless

[@SONJEE]

Ivoire, girl there is a HUGE Kerry fan base....if you want, send me a message in my box and i can direct you...I LOVE IT!!

[@reneeburwell1209]

I loved her and still do love we were both born in the same part of town the Bronx so don't hate because she's beautiful okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!$$$$$$$$?!$?!$?!$!?!$?!$??!!$?$$??!$$!?!$$?$$

EXPERIENCE THAT COMES WITH AMERICAN POLITICS Don Cheadle and Kerry Washington Talk Life in Hollywood Hillary Clinton shares favorite memories of John McCain BBC HardTalk - Kgalema Motlanthe Interview - 12-09-2017

[@Chocomuneca19]

@ashleysheppard Well there are black people who aren't necessarily black. Cubans and some Mexicans are black...so woman of color is appropriate. The way you seem to be using it is ignorant.

[@RhondaBombs]

naaa lol, they just seem like friends

[@sthelonersowhat6904]

Being that her ancestors were slaves. Just like most of us african americans would most likely make her sub saharan african. And im sure she wouldnt deny it. Trust me we are proud to be decendants of africans.

[@wondersdancing]

Maybe. I could be completely wrong.
