Emilie de Ravin & Robert Carlyle Interview - Once Upon a Time Season 4

[@emmatheresa6948]

love how honest Robert is, just goes straight in to defend the character, he never puts up with bullshit

That was crossing the line, how rude and very unproffesional of this woman.. so glad to see robert's reaction and i admire him for calling her out on her bs in this.

[@donnagreg62]

Does robert ever meet fans face to face

[@spikelilgirl]

That first interviewer was so rude. I'm glad he turned it around on her. I did like his reaction though. He was like "What the hell are you talking about?!" and Emilie tried so hard not to laugh. I like that rainbow bracelet he's wearing. Robert says everything he wears has a story or special meaning to him. :)

[@VioletSky908]

Haha Robert's just like "I know you did not just say that" at 0:12. I LOVE how he stood up for his character and called that girl out on her mistakes!!!

I'm enjoying everytime when Robert are talking. This Scottish accent... Best Scottish man! Best actor!

[@thesarahssmile98]

I'm not even a huge Rumbeller but that first question made me so angry. That interviewer definitely could have approached that in a different way, or just not approached it at all. I love that Bobby cut her off and questioned her because that was just ridiculous. Emilie was taken so off-guard and you could tell it was uncomfortable and I just really hate reporters like that.

[@Anonimafiorentina]

Sorry can you tell me what the interviewer said? I can't understand english well :(

[@thesarahssmile98]

she said that Rumple was an abuser and called him a "complete bastard" and was talking about things that didn't even happen in the show.

[@Anonimafiorentina]

Wait, WHAT? O.O Well, the fact isn't that she isn't professional, is that some people are stupid!

[@Anonimafiorentina]

Sarah however, thank you very much! :)

[@merle6773]

What did he asks her because I don’t understand it

[@sisidraig6711]

Belle was my favourite Disney princess when I was a child. She was the only one (apart from Esmeralda) who didn't need to be saved by prince charming. She was brave when she sacrificed herself and she was mature when she was able to see past the beasts "ugly" exterior. I'd like this side of Belle to be explored more thoroughly. Emilie De Ravin is a perfect Belle.

[@sisidraig6711]

I did say "When I was a child". Mulan was WAY too late for my childhood and Pocahontas was at the tail end of it. I think I only watched Pocahontas once and I found the story boring. Turns out the talking tree couldn't compete with the singing candlestick. haha

I really hope y'all are going to at least send an apology to Emilie and Robert.

[@webkinzsignature575]

This is down right rude. This interviewer bashed on Rumple and Rumbelle it is very unprofessional of her to do this. I understand if you don't ship it good you have an opinion but this is out of line she's an interviewer for god sake she shouldn't come and hate on Rumbelle like that she should know better than that. I feel bad for Adam, Eddy, Robert, and Emilie. She needs to apologize for this.

[@katelynma2244]

So true

[@ekalorschmekalor2885]

I don't understand why you guys want to have this reporter's head. Rumplestiltskin WAS an asshole to Belle. That's facts and you can't change it. I understand that the reporter was a bit harsh with the wording, but the facts remain. You have to see Rumbelle from an objective standpoint. It is toxic no matter what their happy ending would have you believe.

[@sarahberkner]

​@@ekalorschmekalor2885Agreed and I don't understand the problem. It seems like this was a toxic fandom.

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

​@@ekalorschmekalor2885they weren't in a relationship at that point yet. And back then he was an ahole to everyone. When they were, he was never rude to her again. Sure there was a time when he lied which may count as emotional abuse. But honestly it was belle who emotionally abused him throughout all the seasons. So toxic sure but he's not the abuser 😂. I love rumbelle with all my heart either way

[@ginevratarascio4492]

The interviewer obviously don't watch Once Upon a Time. Long live Rumbelle.

[@alaynawood1584]

Okay, if the interviewer really wanted to make an anti Rumbelle argument, she could have used better evidence that would have been contextually stronger than "he made her clean the curtains." For example, the scenes in Lacey where he made her clean the bloodied aprons from his torture session with Robin or when he tried to force her to watch him kill Robin would be much more relevant as I could see that being pretty emotionally traumatizing for Belle. These scenes though are still shaky at best. While it was pretty "bastardly" of him to put her through that, it wasn't about her. He would have dealt with Robin in that way whether she was there or not. And while it may have been a power play to exert dominance, it wasn't necessarily directed at asserting dominance and control over her, it was more about Robin. Now this doesn't justify or excuse his actions because it was still pretty revolting, but he would have acted that way with anyone regardless of whether they were a pretty blue eyed maid. And he showed remorse and tried to make up for his actions. Even despite the cruelty he showed Robin, Belle never once feared him taking it out on her even when she openly defied him. I think the best evidence we have to show that this relationship is NOT abusive is that Rumple has never purposely or consciously acted in a way to assert dominance or control over Belle through means of fear or violence either physically, mentally or emotionally. And in turn, Belle has never feared him and this is shown by all the times that she has called him out on his crap and reached out to him even in his moments of rage. She has always known that he would never act violent towards her. Again, I'm not excusing or justifying his less than savory actions. God knows that some of the crap Rumple has pulled has really pissed me off. Is this relationship honest and perfect? Not even close, but they both love each other and respect one another enough to work through this and get their relationship to a healthy point. I have complete faith in them.

[@michelleosborne8958]

Not to mention it wouldn't make sense for the Beast to never act, well, BEASTLY. It's the whole concept of the story.

[@Michelle-tz6qh]

He didn't make her hang any curtains. What moron was asking the questions? And as for the no existent abuse where did you get that from? Belle knew what she was getting into.

[@charlottekim6443]

OMG GOOD FOR YOU, ROBERT, STICKING UP FOR THE RUMBELLE TEAM! Did anyone else notice he was wearing a rainbow loom fishtail bracelet? lol! #RUMBELLE

[@cheesencrackerz1]

Omg you can tell they're both so annoyed at the beginning. It's almost painful to watch. I love how they defend themselves and each other though. "How is he a bastard to her? I don't understand." Right on, Robert. And how dare she say "and a chipped cup" like it's nothing. That's the most precious thing either of them own.

[@madisonrivers3539]

I HATE THIS INTERVIEWER!! Has she even seen Rumple and Belle on the show?! Since when did he 'make her clean the curtains'- did she not hear the "what are you doing?!" in Skin Deep?! No wonder Robert Carlyle asked her what she meant! And what does she mean "does she feel safe with him"?! This reporter is just infuriating me. Rumbelle have their problems, but she's acting like Rumplestiltskin doesn't even care about Belle at all. Was she LISTENING at ComicCon when the creators said, very clearly, several times, that he does actually love her, no matter what he did with the dagger?! I don't blame Robert for calling her out on the 'bastard' comment. And yes, Rumbellers do not seem happy with this (I include myself in that) but it isn't because we're attacking the people who are attacking what we actually care about- it's because they aren't showing professionalism or asking logical questions- or even acting like they've seen the episodes with Rumplestiltskin and Belle at all. I mean, if you're looking for problems in a couple, go talk to Colin o'Donoghue and Jennifer Morrison about CaptainSwan! That, or go to the OutlawQueen actors- although I ship them, Regina did kind of kill Robin's wife. And Roland's mother. They all have problems, but it isn't ok to act like Rumple did everything wrong here.

[@sydneykalama7466]

Okay but the thing that actually really bothers me is not even calling out the shit Rum has done [ he's the beast after all guys come on we can't paint him in gold ( no pun intended ) he's meant to be evil ] what bothers me is the moment the interviewer says "Domestic Abuse" Emilie gets this shell shocked look on her face. However the interviewer continues despite it being obvious that she is very uncomfortable. She very clearly looks straight to Robert for assistance the moment she feels that way [ she's such a sweetheart I can understand why she wouldn't wish to say anything ] so I'm glad Robert being the gentleman he is put an end to her shit right quick. Honestly though this interviewer was quiet unprofessional and she have stopped her question the moment Emilie and Robert became uncomfortable.

[@nataliec7251]

I think that first question was very poorly phrased. It made the interviewer seem very biased against the Rumbelle relationship and seems to have made the actors very uncomfortable. Which I think is very unprofessional. This isn't an expose or a prosecution. Besides, the actors aren't the ones who wrote the story. Besides, considering that the people who would most likely view an interview about Rumbelle are Rumbelle fans, the question was poorly planned and should have been screen before being asked. Whatever the interviewer's intentions are for asking the question, the only thing that's clear is that it only riled up a big fandom of the show.

[@victoriaanne6332]

I agree with literally everything you said. It made the actors uncomfortable and it made the fans uncomfortable. It put Robert in a really bad position because he truly loves the character and wants to make positive comments about it to show support to dearies and rumbellers but he also doesn’t write the script so he doesn’t know if rumple will suddenly turn into a completely inhuman psychopathic and evil killer and abuser. And If he affirms rumple here and then rumple turns out to be completely evil later he’ll look bad anyway. He can’t really argue against her or support her. I think he gave a very nice answer though. I think Robert Carlyle brings incredible humanity to the role of rumple and the interviewer was trying to strip that away . I mean just the way her voice sounded when she asked the question was very emotionally charged. Her voice sounds much more stressed than all the other interviewers and actors. She clearly knew it was a sensitive topic and could not separate her own feelings when voicing the question. On top of that when he asked for clarification she immediately sounded very defensive. Interviews of actors on an entertainment show like this should have a much more relaxed tone. I could tell Robert and Emilie we’re trying to emulate that by giggling, joking, and affirming some of the questions. That interviewer changed the whole tone of this video unfortunately. Besides that I don’t think interviewers should really ask questions that are just like can you confirm my head canon? The writers never use “domestic abuse” to describe rumbelle so to add that in is kinda problematic. I had the same feeling when someone asked the writers a question that basically went “you’ve included swan queen in the writing and acting so you’re obviously doing it intentionally. What more can you tell me about the Regina emma romance?” The writers were taken aback and outright called out the person saying any romantic feelings between Regina and emma were unintentional. I mean it’s great if that is something you enjoyed from the show but if it’s not clearly shown you shouldn’t try to force cast and crew to affirm it. Broader questions about character direction are better. With that those questions should be directed at the writers anyways. Actor questions should be more like how do you prepare to portray this character, or what is your favorite part about portraying this character.

Lol. I'm A HUGE HUGE HUGE 'Once Upon A Time' Fan & The Person Interviewing Them Is Either Reading Questions That Random Ppl Asked Or She Doesn't Watch 'Once Upon A Time!!!' Because She Doesn't Sound Very Educated On What Happened In The Show! Rumpel Was Never Really A "Bastard" To Belle. In Fact Belle Was One Of The Only People That Rumpel Was Truly Kind To! Rumpel Did Take Belle & She Was His "Maid"... Housekeeper... However You Like To Say It... But That's How They Fell In Love. It's Part Of Their Love Story... They're Romance. I Honestly Don't Remember ANY Domestic Violence Between These Two! Rumpel Has Been A "Bastard" To Other Characters In The Show. But Not Belle. SO WATCH THE SHOW DEARIE... BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS THAT JUST SOUND RIDICULOUS!!! 😉

Hi everyone. Just a quick note about this video. This was taken during a roundtable interview at Comic-Con where several journalists were posing questions. Our journalist was not the person asking the question that is being discussed in this thread. Thank you for watching and for your spirited comments. HappyCool

[@RiskPig]

See, here's the thing... no one believes you. If that person (because they are obviously not a journalist) was not a part of your group, then why did you include it in your video?

Love Robert and Emilie. Any one else notice his bracelet is a rainbow loom one problem from his kids that's so cute and they handled the situation of this interviewer not knowing her stuff

[@sisidraig6711]

So I can kind of see the angel the first interviewer is coming from, however, it does show a complete lack of understanding of the Beauty and Beast story arc. The moral of the Beauty and the Beast story is "never judge a book (or a man) by it's cover". It's about getting to know a person, who doesn't believe they deserve to be loved because they are different (or ugly). It ISN'T about domestic abuse.

[@annag.6965]

The woman needs to get her facts straight...

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Wow that interviewer was really rude. As someone who was in a *very* abusive relationship, and stayed in it knowing that he *could* change, Rumbelle is so real for me. After months of therapy, the man that was my abuser turned his life around. Their story gives me hope.

[@sarahberkner]

That's the point, if it was an abusive relationship how is what she said wrong? He was mean to her sometimes and lied to her, and gave her a dungeon to sleep in when she first moved in.

[@kylefiatal8595]

My gavotte character is rumble stiltskin

[@Dance754Freak4ever]

I'm kind of hoping Belle just accepts him for him she fell for him she knew what she was getting herself into. He can't change right away and the most important thing right now is to stick by his side while he's going through what he's going through. He just lost his son. I don't like the term of bastard describing him I get that he was not the nicest guy but I wouldn't go right towards using that word especially when talking to Robert Carlyle and Emilie De Ravin Emilie was laughing out of nerves she was just waiting for Robert to defend his character.

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

I know it's been a decade but I agree so much with this and I am still kinda mad at belle for abandoning him at that moment, letting him completely break apart. She knows exactly both of his parents abandoned him. 🥲 I wouldn't have done that in her situation

[@Hakureya]

ok this tells me we are gonna say goodbye forever to Rumpbelle and I ask myself what's the point of shattering them forever after all they had? They'll destroy a tale...

[@djdunamiss]

the eloquent response to aggression by the interviewer..... nice comebacks dearies

[@Bianca-wd6jg]

I would have rather seen Robert Carlyle interviewed by himself. To be honest Belle is going to stay with him no matter what and since I already know that I don't need a retread of that fact. I'm interested in Rumple if Robert has a chance to discuss. Emilie can talk about Belle by herself as well. What is disturbing to contemplate is that Rumple won't have an identity outside of Belle.

[@emergencyCALL911]

Sadly you called it. That's pretty much exactly what happened after they killed off Baelfire. We got a brief respite in season 6 with Gideon and the Black fairy, but then in season seven they turned him into a suicidal wreck who couldn't function without her and acted like he didn't still have a living son and grandson. Such a waste of a character who started out so multifaceted and fascinating. Every show has fans who fixate on the romantic relationships to the exclusion of all others, but this is the only show I can think of where the writers decided to play along.

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

​@@emergencyCALL911I think rumple just lost his self worth even more throughout the seasons and belle became his new fixation. It was baelfire in the beginning, it's not like he had none. I agree tho I am not satisfied with his development. They spent 6 seasons showing and explaining why he is mentally f* up, and he got even worse. I wanna see healing, too. Just like with regina🥲

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

The thing with the first question is that rhey say, the beginning of their relationship. And when he was helding her captive, they were not together yet. So it makes 100% sense robert asks how was he a bastard, when he never was that when they were together. The question just made no sense. Talking about the beginning of their relationship and then suddenly bringing up things that happened way before.🥲 like bro no they weren't lovers when he had her sleep in the dungeon

[@emily_232]

These two interviewers clearly haven’t been following any bit of the growth as separate characters or in a relationship

[@nellieshoals]

I am a huge fan of Robert Carlyle and Emilie as well as their characters and relationship on the show. The interviewer has a point, though - there ARE messages that young girls should not be hearing, e.g. that a girl sees past the "bad" exterior and will save a disturbed man with her love! And the interviewer does say this. This is indeed a sick message for young girls! And while I love the couple on the show, I do think that the actors should address this at least by pointing out that this should not be taken seriously as it is fiction. I LOVE that Robert pointed out that Rumple is an addict (furthering my respect for him), but there seemed to just be a communication error in this interview. The actors should definitely be aware of the messages their characters are sending to children. P.S. I am 22, not an old lady being angry at the latest generation.

[@Zarryon12]

Yes in certain areas that shouldn't be a message to send to children, HOWEVER. There's also the message that no person is beyond redemption. It's only their own choices and the belief that they are too far gone and no one will help them. And it's a narrative that's all too real when you yourself are a perpetrator, given the context of your own comment. After all in the story of OUAT ....Rumple makes all the wrong choices but for all the right reasons. He's not truly evil and the end of the show showcased it SO elegantly. But i digress , saying that certain people are beyond saving only proves the person you believe beyond redemption, right.

Why are people crying over fictional characters?!😂

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

I think belle abused rumple emotionally. That time in the dark castle, they weren't even together yet. He was literally holding her captive😂 but it was not "domestic abuse" wtf. I wouldn't call what belle did that either. But she did manipulate him🌚 and many things. I love her anyway I genuinely don't care. But I think the later seasons show the impact her abuse had on him and it's crazy the interviewer tried to turn things around. Although surely it wasn't easy for belle either, I'm not claiming it was. But apart from that lying in season 4, he never treated belle poorly while they were together. And it does matter. It's just not the same. Him being rude to her when he's a mere stranger or "beast" holding her captive is not comparable to a LOVER abusing you. It hurts way more when someone close to you hurts you. She got hurt the most when he lied🤷🏻‍♀️ not when she had to clean his castle to which SHE btw agreed to (volunteered. Accepted the deal. He didn't kidnap her).

I don't get what people are so upset about in the comments, he was mean to her in the beginning, and sometimes manipulated her or lied to her throughout their relationship. And when she first moved there she had to sleep in a room that looks like a dungeon, it's not that generous of him to give her a pillow to muffle her cries. However I get what people are saying about her not being the best interviewer.

[@katerinamikaelson1416]

Because he was cruel to everyone and he was not with her back then. So no, he was not a "b*tard" to her in their relationship. The only bad thing he ever did was that lying thing and that was really temporary, and belle has done much worse.🌚 and that was released after this interview anyway. How did he manipulate her? She manipulated him. Right from the start she wanted to "fix" him and forced him to behave better or else she'll abandon him. Although she knew from the start what kind of man he was. No wonder he ended up lying if you think about it. Was a direct consequence of her abuse.

I'm sorry I offered my uninformed opinion as counterpoint to your well-researched statement. I shall go and tell all my Rumbelle friends that we don't in fact want more Belle time by herself or a further exploration of her story or even more character development and interaction with other characters.
