[@loveforeignaccents]

Wow, haven't seen him in a long time! Always liked him, and he's such a great actor.

[@Static-ash]

Omg I love him! How exciting!

[@vishortridge]

He did Glass Onion and was great as usual. Good movie too!

[@lancemorrison8561]

Glass Onion! I highly recommend it!

[@colinmatzkows5839]

He deserves more work. The guy is incredible.

[@rabbit251]

For a while I didn't like Edward Norton because Mojo had listed him as one of the worst actors to work with and was personally a terrible person. I now don't believe that I don't watch any channels like that unless I get some very reliable proof. If Norton was really like that no one else would work with him. But there are some people who an interests in tearing down others careers.

[@xplaybwoix]

In ensembles he can’t do the unacceptable stuff he’s been known to do as a lead role . Think about that.

[@Nancy-sf2pl]

Apparently he’s very difficult to work with so not a lot of people want to work with him anymore

[@rabbit251]

@@Nancy-sf2pl And that is based on what? If that is true, why is he appearing in movies still and doing talk shows? People who are blackballed and literally blackballed: Johnny Depp, Andy Dick, etc.. If you have facts to base your claims on, do it. Really tired of people citing hearsay as fact.

[@jerometenorio7221]

@@rabbit251 The main issue regarding Norton is because he is always arranging a different story whenever he can so his character has a really good development. Most of the time, his arrangements works but also making the writers and directors hate him because of disagreements between each other. Just see Birdman, the character he plays is exactly what he is behind the scenes. I am lazy to link some articles tho. I like Norton and even if he is somewhat an asshole to the production, he is still worth of the job because of his talents.

[@alexaales7937]

man, he should have won an oscar for american history x, he was amazing, such an important film that should be shown in schools on a regular basis!

[@davidfeltz8697]

That film is amazing and well done in everyday.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Edward Norton is one of the very best actor ,and a cool guy love him👏🏽👏🏽❤.

[@scottthompson4193]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he is known as one of the biggest pricks in all of Hollywood. Alot of horrible stories of people meeting him as well...

[@user-kb7pn3fn7c]

@@scottthompson4193 Inside the circle is the real, outside the circle is the image.

[@cassandravalasi108]

@@user-kb7pn3fn7c And I think that you confuse the inside circle with the click bate channels that repeat the same stories again and again, because they have to fill their shallow content with inaccutate informations. The only cases they were really complaining about Edward N. were the Marvel movie creators and the director of American history X. But then that director seems as an a** person himself. I 've never heard anybody else complaining about him. But then again the channels have to fill their stupid lists with something...

[@chriskroll4166]

@@scottthompson4193 he was probably only a prick to you when you met him but nice to everybody else. So what does that tell you . Edward Norton is king and you are not. Deal with it

[@dcool2u2]

Yes! Mine too! He really played two completely different characters!

Funny American History X back story. Love that movie. Edward Norton was phenomenal in it.

[@brkaz5864]

Norton does not get enough credit or screen time. Great actor.

[@MelissaM-lo5hi]

Never seen him in an interview til now. Never seen him smile so much. Love his acting. There’s a mesmerizing way within his acting. Down to Earth guy. 👍

[@carlav82981]

Edward!!! I love u!! By far one of the greatest actors

Dear Mr. Norton is a distinctively intellectual actor in comparison to so many other actors according to my personal opinion.

[@patrickhinh]

Best actor. Primal Fear is one of the best film

[@maryjensen5310]

And fight club.

[@bartsimpsonsimpson3367]

Yeah, great twist ending in Primal Fear. When Richard Gere's character realizes what he has done for Ed. Felt so bad for him.

[@dylanalbuquerque4854]

Ed’s the man! I’d watch anything he’s in I didn’t like Glass Onion as much as Knives Out but Ed’s character was the best part of the whole thing

[@anacheah8981]

Watching his work is like consuming a rare exquisite meal that really satisfy you mentally.

[@Xena823]

he has so much talent …. he metamorphose himself in every role . He is also very clever . He is mesmerising

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

Edward Norton is a good actor. He's well spoken. American History X, Fight Club Keeping the Faith among his Wes Anderson works, are his best works. He did a great job playing the villain in Glass Onion.

[@aleksandargeorgiev3406]

All these are great, however I think that Birdman is his best acting

[@rhmujib5548]

man i just watched American history x and Edward was the best in it He definitely deserved an Oscar for that performance!

[@Mrmoviefan123]

Edward now has the distinction of being the last person to direct Bruce Willis in a theatrically released movie, with Motherless Brooklyn.

[@xplaybwoix]

Willis made films after thaf

[@Mrmoviefan123]

@Funky Roller Yeah but they were direct to video.

[@KurgerBingShfiftyFive]

I can't think of a role that Norton hasn't killed. This made me really want to watch American History X

[@G_N_G_HU]

Вы несправедливы к нему....или ревнуете и завидуете🗿

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

The glass onion is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

[@rabbit251]

Mostly it's nice that Daniel Craig has found a niche to redevelop himself (difficult for an actor to do once they get type-cast). And it provides opportunities for actors we like to work together. I wonder how many from that cast were friends with Norton? But pretty safe to say they're friends now.

[@TigerGreene]

I wanted to ignore the hundreds of negative reviews about Extrapolations - from both critics AND audiences, all saying it's sanctimonious and sermonizing, and won't stop beating you over the head with its message. It's a fantastic cast! But 3 seconds into this clip, it's obvious what everyone said was right. They could've chosen ANY clip, but clearly they couldn't find one without a preachy lecture in it.

I assumed him playing a guitar right-handed and claiming it was the guitar (left-handed) Paul wrote it on was the joke.

[@dcool2u2]

Good call! Too subtle for most people to catch, but you are absolutely correct 😊 I think the director should have gone with Edward's joke and when he says John Lennon wrote Blackbird on this guitar she could have simply said "Yeah, I'm pretty sure Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird." I think it would have worked 😊

[@majas4922]

Only lefties can play McCartney songs ?!? Also, Blackbird was written on a right hand guitar.

[@kbadr]

I assumed it had been written on a left-handed guitar since McCartney wrote it.

[@matts1546]

[@AmiUnhinged]

It's funny that you said that. After the Beatle's splodge of new Labour this huge retro folk music was really huge in England which I coped with like Cold Play for about five minutes before I went looking for the secret like, untold soul of the scene which I found in America in Alternative. I decided, when I listened to American metal I would never sing proper English folk music ever again and what happened after was the most hilarious cultural misappropriation that ever accidentally Zoolandered music. Anyway, I was learning goth music and I moved from Evanescence to Seether and Staind to Disturbed. So in England everyone and their wife is auditioning for musicals right and my pals are trying to talk me into The Queen of The Night (a German Opera famously sung by a woman with a widow's peak.) I said nah, I couldn't even- they didn't even get it and that was the wrong song- actually it was Evanescence. They said why, I said traditional Valkyries sing to frighten the enemy about their vocals mahoos , they didn't even know how the Queen Of The Night was out of fashion, even Whitney Houston had died already it was probably Disturbed. They said nah, I said yh etc So I did, in the end just to prove it they said "you couldn't have the diamond from that even if you wanted to ," I said "you don't get it, I just killed you..." Etc so in the end i sang Madame Butterfly like jumping with an arm behind my back. I couldn't do it twice. Sadly my mom deleted it. I'm thinking about a less antagonistic musical approach from now on.

[@joemckim1183]

Glass Onion was a solid Netflix movie but I wish Norton was getting top quality scripts lie he was earlier in his career. Only thing recently that he's done that's any good is Motherless Brooklyn and he has to write/direct/produce/star in it himself.

Don't know the man so I'm not saying he wasn't being arrogant. But I heard him talk about it in a podcast, he had a vision of what this character could be and the studio wasn't buying it.
