FULL Actresses Roundtable: Zendaya, Glenn Close, Kate Winslet & More | Close Up

I do miss when everyone was sitting at a table and you could see how much they liked being with others people who did the same job. I know zoom is not the same but maybe leave some pauses between the questions so they might respond to each other and connect more.

One of the things I admire about Zendaya is how she's able to manage her anxiety. I notice she gets nervous and has anxiety in situations and interviews like these but she still seems to be so strong and doesn't let the anxiety stop her. As someone who has anxiety I difinitely would freeze on the spot and have an anxiety attack or all together just not join the zoom call, lmao, but I admire how Zendaya stays so strong throughout everything. It also inspires me to challenge my introvertness and anxiety as well. She's my biggest role model no joke.

[@cheyennepredium9860]

Same here, she's my biggest role model. Thank you for this comment. There's a lot of people in this comment section trying to tear her down and only talk about her being nervous instead of the topics she discussed.

Totally! She is a force and I too look up to her so much! not only is she an amazing actress (and singer and the list goes on) but such a warm strong and inspiring human being... always telling the stories and amplifying the voices that need to be heard...

To everyone saying zendaya is so “nervous” .. yall need to let it go. As someone who also suffers from anxiety , she isn’t nervous. Her anxiety is making her over-think her answers.

[@lavenderr77]

For all of you talking about how nervous Zendaya is.. go watch the round table from August 2020 with Jeniffer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon. THAT was actually a conversation where all of the women were engaged and responding to each other. Unlike this interview where the moderator fired off questions without giving the women a chance to respond to each other. It definitely sets a sort of formal tone rather than the warm, welcoming environment that I saw in the August Round Table that would put people with anxiety (like Zendaya) at ease. Just an observation.

[@eugimon]

FYI, when Glenn Close shut down Zendaya speaking of how acting is also a business... Glenn Close was born to wealthy and influential parents. Zendaya was born to a school teacher. All of Glenn Close's answers were dripping with the sort of condescension that a life of unexamined privellege affords.

[@ceceliam9014]

I think she got a lot better in the last half of the interview. I think she was genuinely impressed by all the women in this roundtable and it started to show more by the end. It's easy to say weird things sometimes, and that comment was a bit weird. But it's entirely possible the hint of defensiveness that came across was directed at the way the industry overpowers the art unless you protect it, or something more personal to Close, not at Zendaya, herself.

[@AllGreyEverything]

When the brain surgeon makes a slight mistake, people die or are disabled forever. When an actor makes a mistake, they don't get the role or they get a bad review. Glenn really needs some damn perspective. Anyone can study acting at any age, get better and maybe even book some small roles. Someone with resources (like a freaking Neurosurgeon...)has an even better shot because they can drop everything and do the work without having to worry about finances. He wasn't saying, "How do I become Anthony Hopkins in a month?"

[@monikavec]

I get your point but also, I think that's not what prompted her strong reaction. He said specifically that he's depressed as a surgeon which sounds like he wanted to do something lighter and simpler. But although incomparable, it is not a simple work. Just because there aren't literal lives on the line in my job as a teacher, it doesn't mean it's not exhausting and challenging ... so I really don't think she was the one comparing their jobs but he was.

It is ironic seeing how glenn and kate get hate by random people who don't know them for sharing a story or their opinion about something.

I do not understand how Glenn Close can be offended by that brain surgeon. He was coming from a vulnerable place. He’s miserable, he wants to switch jobs, he thinks maybe acting would be more of a fun-fulfilling path. Because it IS creative and beautiful and probably cathartic to perform, so of course? So many ordinary people daydream of an actor’s life. And if you live in LA, it’s really not that far fetched.

@@prettyinpink1991 They will award her the trophy for the great performance in Hillbilly Elegy not simply because of sympathy.

[@dianesullivan5521]

It seems that actresses who love the craft and take it seriously are always the best actors...their goal isn’t to be a “movie star” but to expand their skill and creativity.

[@amittiwari8396]

Hope Glenn Close gets an Oscar nomination for Hillbilly Elegy, if not a win! She wins or loses, either way she would be creating history!

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

how? how is she creating history?

[@encheknizam]

She better win. She is long overdue !!!!!!

[@amittiwari8396]

@@jusletursoulglobaby If she wins, she will be the oldest actress to win her first oscar. If she loses, she would be the only living person with the highest number of oscar nominations but without a victory. Either way, she will be making a record atleast...if not history! 😅

@@encheknizam True that! Still can't believe that she lost for Dangerous Liaisons...it's one of the best performances ever by any actor, in my opinion!!

Zendaya. That's it. That's the comment.

[@galaxiandancer]

These round table videos are always outstanding. Please keep them coming.

[@KimberlyAnakata]

Zendaya - you shine in this interview! Your advice about paying attention to and learning the business aspect is "right on!". You got folks who desperately need their income to get gains and paid because YOU PAID ATTENTION! I have never been so *miffed* as I am at Glenn Close. I used to be a huge Glenn Close fan, heck I'm 47 years old, she was a breakthrough feminist artist... but, she lost all my respect in how she blew off your advice to pay attention to the business aspect. Zendaya you ARE RIGHT!!! PLEASE, KNOW THAT WE SUPPORT YOU!

[@millolly9298]

honestly I feel like they were all kind of snobby towards zendaya... especially glenn and kate

[@Chickentits]

I don’t. I don’t support people who lie & cheat their way to the top by putting other people down just so they can benefit more. A lot of things have came up about her & her team trynna shut it down.

5:25 Glenn Close why? Didn't you have the same energy for your only child and daughter Annie Starke Who like the brain surgeon was "untrained" and wanted to be become an actor. So I guess it's completely Ok for Glenn's daughter Annie to work in the theater and film & television "untrained".. Has 6 credits which 4 of them are starring along side Mummy Glenn Close. But Glenn is laughing at a fully qualified brain surgeon who has an aspiration! To be an actor! talking about, it takes training and it's a "craft" the nepotism & privilege of this woman. The elitism of Glenn Close. And Kate Winslet talking about how it's not for everyone and its hard work but her own daughter Mia Threapleton also an "untrained actor" has just entered the industry how easy and nice for Mia. I think it's only hard work Kate Winslet for those "trained and untrained" actors with no connections to an industry they aspire to be a part off.

[@sandralee5989]

Yup, I was disappointed with Glenn Close. Won't watch her movies anymore

Any reason why Vanessa Kirby was ignored for the first 15 minutes? No idea who she is anyway but I just found it a bit odd.

[@mpdalyful1]

She has starred in the crown, the fast and the furious and mission impossible

[@longmemory1620]

if you think she's ignored wait until you see Christoph Waltz in the roundtable with Nolte Clooney Plummer and Oldman, He must have sat there and stayed silent for what felt like an hour

[@AdamC2013]

Her earlier answers likely got edited out.

[@FreakieFan]

Steven Yuen didn’t talk in the Actor’s roundtable in like the first 30 minutes

[@Sithuhein100]

I think Carey Mulligan or Vanessa Kirby will win Best Actress in Leading Role and Glenn Close will take Best Actress in Supporting Role this year 2021.
