3 Rounds with 'The Great' Stars Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult | Entertainment Weekly

[@azeezak1]

An American playing a German in Russia with a British accent! I love this show!!!

[@what8562]

I know, right!? When one of the Germans preferred speaking French in real life! I love this universe!

[@lesliebegazo4342]

It's called globalization 😎🤪🤣🤣🤣

[@hertzollner]

she plays the outsider so I think the accents are fine

[@MSeliskaZ]

Well Nicholas is British… Elle is American.

[@psijicassassin7166]

An Indian man in Russia in the 18th century? Who doesn't find this laughable?

[@brxsncz]

elle fanning and nicholas hoult are definitely an iconic duo i thought i never knew i needed, i love them so much!

[@DreamBelive07]

they honestly nailed the casting for this show, everyone plays their character really well

[@amazonglamazon6633]

Yes it’s called “Chemistry”!! The Sag and Aries can make quite the combination!! ♐️♈️

[@martinallambi9068]

Wich show ?

[@psijicassassin7166]

Do you think the rest of the world "needs" this duo like an hourly cunnylick? LOL

[@nonalolagirl]

I love how Elle calls Catherine 'she' and Nicholas calls Peter "me" lmao

[@ChivyD]

The chemistry between them is just fantastic.

[@ziia_zoozoo5231]

Ikr 😘

[@strawberriesandcandy]

Her British accent is so good that her American one sounds fake

[@daniellemederos4115]

Its gold!

[@jonboy481]

It is ...and it does

[@fatimaijaz1292]

Its literally perfect in All the bright places but after watching her nail it in the show , it does look fake

[@pettybee3860]

She also very British looking. Very European. Like a renaissance painting. I would've never thought she was American

[@22poopoo]

I don't know. There are a few word endings that made me guess she was American. But as she's meant to be German in a Russian court I think it makes sense her accent is just a little bit 'off'

[@zf6873]

Elle is such a burst of energy and really takes charge! And nick is so calm and well spoken. Totally diff from what I had expected, but really cool to see such an interesting dynamic..

[@beccamatic]

I agree! So different from their on-screen characters! Love them both.

[@may.k_me]

Binge watched the whole thing in one day. Really enjoyed this season and getting to watch their characters grow closer together Already dying for season 3 These two have really good chemistry, not just in the intimate scenes or the tender ones, but in the ones where they are bickering and at each others throats and it really makes the show. Can't imagine who else could have pulled these characters off the way they did

[@deathbloom27]

I hated Peter in the first season , though he was obviously hilarious. Seeing how his character interacts with Catherine in season 2 has changed that. They really did a great job at humanizing and softening him just enough to pull the heartstrings so that you're emotionally invested, too. What a fantastic series this has turned out to be.

[@amrbasri68]

hey im looking for other great shows, and since you clearly have good taste, can you recommend me anything new.

[@tpeyton2848]

How do actors not fall in love with each other especially when they actually get along and have to do press tours back to back

[@marymasavage6056]

There are 5 types of intimacy. That's how..

[@itaya5]

Elle is smitten based on several interviews but they will not cross boundaries coz nick has a partner and a baby. I love their friendship and their awesome chemistry. I can tell they share a very good rapport

[@Lucysurridge]

they often do haha

[@kiikat]

I was thinking the same!

[@natsmoon]

omg i keep thinking the same, also the s*x scenes in season 2 between them felt so personal LIKE I WOULD FALL IN LOVE 100%

[@sophie.at_]

The way Nicholas portraits the character of Peter is AWESOME. Literally he is so freaking funny. Ofc and the lines are funny but i feel like it's him that puts those funny touches in the character. The movements, the chilfish & innocent looks , the weaknesses , the craziness. In general as you can see i love the complexity of this character. If you ask me it was a pretty surprising character development in S2. Catherine stays superior in S2 too but i can say that in the first episodes her tactics towards Peter were a bit overexaggerated and annoying for me. But we got a happy ending😂❤ Huzzah to S3 i guess?!

[@tejumade2930]

We loved it, Elle. Couldn't imagine season 2 topping 1 but it was fantastic. The chemistry between Catherine and Peter is everything. I'm truly sad that I've finished watching season 2. I can't wait for season 3. The show is just brilliant. Acting & writing; just brilliant!

[@Dani-rz8dj]

Same!! I’m genuinely sad I finished and I cannot wait for more

[@lininacrowne1941]

Season 3 on May 12!!

[@Basic_Barbie23]

Elle fanning is absolutely stunning! She’s so graceful without even trying… just breathtaking!

[@Nancy-sf2pl]

The chemistry between these two is insane. I hope that when The Great ends they continue working together on other projects

[@da-rae1884]

I absolutely adore Elle and Nick together, I really hope they will work together in more projects!

[@Shaggygoingscoob]

The Great is my fav show now. It’s so outlandish and eclectic. Just hold

[@amrbasri68]

[@laurenbisiker3687]

@@amrbasri68 I know you didn't ask me but I also loved the show. Similar dark comedy, satirical and very good shows are Killing Eve, Succession, Fleabag. I also like Stath Lets Flats (definitely have to have a certain type of humour to enjoy, but I think it's very funny) and The Outlaws. Sex Education, This Way Up and Derry Girls are also very good.

[@cleopatra7396]

@@laurenbisiker3687 State Lets Flats is literal comedy gold and I LOVE that they are actually bother and sister in real life. Green Wing is another great series (much older though) although sometimes the humour goes a little too far.

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

Their chemistry is soooo sublime

[@macunsolicitied]

They look so good together. They should film a movie where they end up in a non toxic relationship

[@sitori663]

Such a brilliant show. The acting by all was incredible. The character Elizabeth is one of my all-time favorites.

[@tashamiel]

I swear to God Nicholas Hoult is painfully hilarious. on and off the show 👏

[@unknownreviews4501]

How do they not fall for each other...they are so good together

[@miraclemills9504]

I love the energy between these two. I get real giddy seeing them together in interviews and on screen. I sense a true connection here between these two and its paying off on screen in their performances 😍🥰

[@immapascalalorian398]

I love how close they sit to each other 🥺

[@pranavkumar1818]

One of the best casting decisions ever

[@MS-tg5fy]

I vote Nicholas Hoult for James Bond!

[@luxlisbon7979]

it’s incredible that their voices and demeanours are entirely different in real life! shows what amazing actors these two are !

[@cussylilmama196]

I’ve just watched several interviews of them and they always sit so close to each other.

[@SamanthaBoooooooo]

Second season is phenomenal, out of the park!

[@zombieloveserte]

I love this show! So deliciously dark and absurdly humorous.

[@Tracydot3]

I didn't know season 2 was out already! Binge watching it this weekend. I love Elle and Nicholas' chemistry on and off set. They play off each other really well and they are so much fun to watch.

[@NinaC]

Love them. Truly made the show. Their chemistry is undeniable lmao

[@ChrisAldridge]

Their BEST roles to date, no doubt.

[@Jackieb741]

I did NOT expect him to be so quiet and timid. He’s a great actor!!

[@rage455]

The show is great 😏, they have so much chemistry, they're both hot and also nice. What's not to like? I really didn't expect much from both of them in a show, but that first season made fall in love for them as characters and actors.

[@hertzollner]

They are both adorable and great and should be proud of themselves and this show is absolutely wonderful! BRAVO!

[@vampiring]

I SUPER LOVE AND ADORE THEIR BOND !!!!! THEIR CHEMISTRY IS JUST TOO GOOD UGH I WANT MORE AND MORE SEASONS OF THE GREAT

it’s so funny that elle has such the stereotypical american accent after hearing her act with a british accent

[@hellsbells145]

One of the best series I have ever seen I've been obsessed with it, all of the characters are superb ❤️

[@maxmd9218]

Hoult has great comedic timing.

[@njbobf]

The story may be about Catherine, but Peter makes the show.

[@paulamercado9386]

I totally agree! 😊❤️ in season 2, When Catherine speaks, it’s almost unbearable…her character. But Peter, regardless of his character, being ruthless or loving, he’s able to do it perfectly! He’s a great actor, but I’d love to see him in more serious roles to see his other talents.

[@carrieruth93]

Nick gives me Benedict Cumberbatch vibes in this interview! I wanna see them play brothers in something!

[@StevenCampbell1955]

An enjoyable interview. They come across as intelligent and involved in their work. The interviewer handled them with care to bring forth the joy of the partnership their characters portray.

I am dying for session 3!!!
