Hobbit 2- Benedict CUMBERBATCH, Martin FREEMAN, Richard ARMITAGE meet DANDALF The Disco

[@LittlePaso17]

Dandalf: "Thorin nice to see you" Richard: "SANTA CLAUS!" I died laughing!! lol

[@marykatezehr1074]

I was laughing so hard at this full-grown man act like a five-year-old kid!!!! I love Richard so much, he is my hero!!!!

[@charliemedina9262]

I'd give a like, but the number is at 420 so I'll comment.

[@johannafugate7772]

I cant stop laughing love RA

[@enginesummer99]

I just love how Cumberbatch never really breaks character from acting like a pissy dragon. It's awesome.

[@IlovemyJesus24]

That's what I was thinking! I thought he was annoyed the whole time D:

[@barbaro267]

The beginning reactions...lol!! Martin's like "ohhh, so it's gonna be THIS kind of interview!", Benedict's like "very nice, very nice" all classy like, and Richard turns into a little kid and says "SANTAAAA!!" haha

[@xnekorb]

barbaro267 XD

[@daniele]

🤣🤣

[@TheSherlockedAvatar]

SANTA CLAUSE. OH MY GOD RICHARD I LOVE YOU

[@keigisa]

Has anyone noticed that whenever Richard names all the dwarves, he ALWAYS names himself (Thorin) last :D

[@YourNewLover]

+keigisa This is the proper way to do it by etiquette.

[@Tarisaher]

Well that is the correct way to speak

[@AndiLang8146]

Last to arrive.

[@jaymiemangum7270]

Benedict basically being a human Smaug was awesome! Martin and Richard were great as well.

[@mariacarola5]

Richard Armitage is too sweet!!

[@Cinnoney]

yea omg he's so precious!

[@mafer-yo5kh]

+Cinnoney he´s my precious okno

[@samappollo5071]

At 8:30 ish when Benedict says he's a raging psychopath all I can think of is "I'm not a psychopath I'm a high functioning sociopath do your research."

[@ZoesZoo]

Richard cracks me up in this interview xD "Santa Claus!!" "Thank you for my golden shoe ... you too can have one ..." "How can you tell, I'm sitting down. *throws shoes*"

[@tatsukivermillion5622]

*epically serious music* Richard: SANTA CLAUS!!

[@ericapopoca8235]

I really love the fact that Richard is so relaxed and playful in this interview. It proves that being interviewed by boring people being asked the same boring questions really drains you, so when an interviewer comes out dressed like Gandalf, it really livens up his day. You can literally see the transition from dreading another interview to "Where has this interviewer been all my life"

[@Just5ayJess]

Haha 'could we have a message for ___ fans?' Martin- (says something logical) Ben- (bares teeth) Richard- Thanks for my golden shoe, you too can have one Man I love these guys!!

[@notlorius2218]

A normal day of the dragon: flossing teeth, a golden massage, flying around, killing few people and afternoon tea... Benedict Cumberbatch, everybody :3

[@jillian5899]

back in time for tea...hilarious!

[@maggiesnyder3720]

"How can you tell, I'm sitting down?" BUSTED

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Santa Claus!!! Richard has the best sense of humor. The best. He's probably that guy who'll sit around waiting to answer back with a pun and then giggle at himself as he says it.

[@argella1300]

he legit made a dick joke in the cinemax interview

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

He also made a sex joke about Thorin and Bilbo during the script read-through. Richard Armitage has my heart with his terrible, wonderful humor.

[@1l1ak]

Billie4Mozzarella is there video of the script read-through? I 'd like to watch it :D

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

kunyit I dunno if it's on youtube, but I watched it in the Hobbit appendices. There's audio of it here though: armitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.tumblr.com/post/65306200641/is-this-post-coital-or-pre-richard-armitage

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Cute. Just cute. SO cute. Ugh. Dammit. Cute.

[@prufrockj.a8532]

British dry humor is the best! And I love Ben describing his day as Smaug :P

[@LilianaKali]

Leave it to the British when describing a dragon's day it will involve tea. Cumberbatch, you are funny. Thorin, you actually know your brothers in arms' names! I love this interviewer, always a joy to watch him.

[@tralala08x]

Gina Brennan I can confirm this, as a Yorkshire woman XD

[@LilianaKali]

Cool! Thanks! :D

[@fishieandco]

Richard Armitage's face at 9:43 sums up the whole interview.

[@msparrabeth]

Seriously, kudos to Benedict Cumberbatch for staying COMPLETELY in character the whole time. XD

[@evaulrich-oltean2826]

The way Richard said “How can you tell, I’m sitting down” and then just threw the shoes at him cracked me up so much lmao

[@xatchuzchaan]

Fucking Martin. xD He played along with it so well.

[@thelittlesilverbird]

I pray for the souls of the people that don't realise Benedict's pretending to be Smaug and think he's being an asshole...he's not exactly puff the magic dragon for christ's sake

[@MissEalaSW]

I just love how he doesn't break character! Is really professional!

[@TheShadowedOne1]

"Gandalf The Pink" line killed me.

[@SamOrihuela]

"I'm not a fluffy toy, I'm a raging psychopath." BENEDICT OMFG

[@ana4270]

"Santa Claus!" omg I love Richard sfm

[@ninjaahjumma]

I love how Ben remains in character all throughout. XD

[@xDanceMusicRhix]

Martin and Richard were awesome in this interview. So funny!!

[@1l1ak]

They're indeed hilarious, love them both!

[@yatgrave1120]

@choupette_44 He was playing smaug in this interview, lol

[@BeHaind]

Ich möchte die Schönheit dieses Interviews mit Martin Freemans weisen Worten unterstreichen: "Warum können nicht alle Zauberer aussehen wie John Travolta?"

[@daniele]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nanalu8714]

Very good job! I loved Benedict acting like he would actually be smaug ^^ "you stupid humans..." oh and naughty Martin seemed to have fun - priceless. Richard as brilliant as ever!!!

[@0306babylove]

Cumberbatch kills it. He's just fantastic at those kind of interviews. I love how he stays in character, and the gum chewing is hilarious. Daniele always seems to have the most fun with him.

[@MeatyCatBall]

LOL love Martin's magic trick XDD hes one cheeky bugger

[@Elanel]

I loved how in character Benedict stayed. I know it's a lot of fun to improv with your role like that. Also, again, /thank you/, Daniel, for doing interviews like this, where it isn't the same questions over and over, and the actors can have a breath of fresh air, and enjoy themselves.

[@randomperson8571]

Benedict Cumberbatch has a really good sense of humor... Martin and Richard are just lovely x)

[@joannaraucher2133]

Richard’s smile.... I love it!!! He had the sense of humor, « Santa claus » oh my god 🤣🤣 perfect

[@DePieks]

Hahaha, Benedict being totally serious and telling about his dragon flossing actually made me laugh.

[@josabby474]

Woah, looking at some comments I'm surprised at how many people don't get the fact that Benedict is playing a game answering the questions as though he was Smaug/The Necromancer, not Benedict. Martin and Richard are doing the same (answering as though they were Bilbo and Thorin). Benedict doesn't seem angry or bored at all. It seems like he's having a lot of fun. I saw it with the Star Trek interview last year, he seems to genuinely like Dandolf/Spocko.

[@jaymiemangum7270]

I know I keep reading "oh he must have been having a bad day." No he is answering questions as Smaug and the Necromancer.

[@SingenStattAtmen]

Oh my God, Benedict was freaking HILARIOUS in this!!! xD He stayed in character so very well - which is kinda tough considering he's a dragon.^^ His deadly serious matter-of-fact answers combined with his incredibly straight face literally had me in tears of laughter! x'D Chapeau, Mr. Cumberbatch! ;) This is one of the greatest interviews I ever had the fortune to see. Your questions were cool and all their answers and reactions were magnificent - and the little game at the thend was PRICELESS! "Trolls? - Meh. - Goblins? - What? - Orks? - Yeah." LMAO!!! :'D

[@crimsonfonseca6960]

0:22 "Santa Claus! :D " Richard xD

[@kataaay981]

Benedict was killing me with his sass and his gum chewing....dayum son...

[@BelieveInMyDaydreams]

The pause before Martin says "hey" is one of my favorite things lol. You can see a million things he can't say on camera run through his head in that one brief moment!

[@laurenhayley0]

Benedict swears more than Martin now haha. Its not a complaint, its an observation :)

[@forsaken.cowboy]

Yes, but Martin makes a LOT more sexual references :D

[@GabrielaSutcliff]

The "Santa Claus" is killing me kkkkkkkkk Richard can be so funny when he wants to

[@geraldine819]

Hahahah this is one of the most funny interviews i ever seen! they are so great. I lost everything at 4:26, i can't believe he do that! xD Richard Armitage is so cuteeee! ♥

[@victoriamendez3676]

I love how Benedict doesn't break character at all throughout the whole interview. :P

[@raychel945]

Guy comes in as Gandalf, Richard's just like "Santa Claus! Thank you!"

[@shrutinagaraj588]

LAS VEGOLAS.

[@MinnyMomo]

I love Richard, why is he so good and geeky and funny all at the same time.

[@middleearthgirl1449]

I love how serious Benedict Cumberbatch is in this! If i was in his place i would lose it.

[@kittypurplexo336]

"SANTA CLAUS!" OMG Richard :'D HAHAHAHAH!!!

[@victoriaac77]

"Santa Claus!" I love Richard, haha, the entire cast is absolutely perfect!

[@BattyMadie]

I love Richard's enthusiasm, he's so fun!

[@JulieAndrewsFan93]

"SANTA CLAUS!!! Nice to see you!!!" OMG Richard you're killing me

[@levulp]

I love Richard in this interview! He's more relaxed and he's having fun. So cute! :)

[@Nagadirchan]

Now I just want to see a picture of Smaug drinking his tea! XD XD

[@fmartin185]

i love how benedict plays the game "fly around, kill a few people and be home for tea"

[@ayumidoughnut]

"thank you for my golden shoe" - that Richard's face lol I can't.

[@orchid_hearts]

Richard's reaction in the beginning killed me!! That is my reaction every time I go to the mall at Christmas

[@oberk3s29]

A Day in a Life of a Dragon by Benedict Cumberbatch! 5:18 "kill a few people and come back for tea" hahaha!

[@Morgan041097]

Oh my god Benedict I can't even, he was in character like the entire time and I can't even

[@MsBrainerTrainer]

Look at Richard... So down to earth yet so posh! He is perfectly adorable... Love it when he says Dandalf with Dandruff :D hahaha

[@Saraaah2112]

This interview is too funny lol Love Benedict, Martin and Richard. they're awesome (:

[@Verenasuniverse]

Gosh, I love Richard.

[@janaogmatilde]

"how can you tell, I'm sitting down" omg i love Richard :')

[@Mar_tea_]

To anyone complaining about Benedict being impolite: he was acting like the human incarnation of Smaug, as it's told in the beginning. Hence the rudeness, the sharp answers and reference about killing creatures and flying around the mountain and the RAWR and hobbit near gold thing. That's how good at improvisation and acting this man is. Have you seen his other interviews? It's obvious he didn't bump his head and transform in a total arse, he was just amazingly in character for thirteen fucking minutes.

[@MidnightCosplays]

"You're taller then everyone says…" "How can you tell, i'm sitting down?" *throws shoes*

[@yoevr]

Martin and Richard are so adorable!

[@ThalitaBranco]

Richard is the cutest ever!

[@tiamaria8610]

This is the best DanieleRizzo interview I've seen! Sometimes his interview can get quite awkward when the interviewee doesn't appreciate his humor, but the whole cast in this one played along so beautifully. Hilarious!!

[@Rebel_Queen]

I would die if Benedict just kinda softly waved his hands like claws and said, "Rawr...I'm a dragon."

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

this must be the best interviewer ever. Every video I've seen with him the actors feel so comfortable. I'm guessing during these interview marathons to promote a movie it's kinda fun to have such a guy coming in and ask you questions.

[@GraceBerlin1]

I just laughed so freaking hard about the scene at 5:20 !!! :D Love Benedict Cumberbatch !

[@ninjaahjumma]

That little head twerk that Benedict makes at 2:33 when he says "Gandalf the Pink"... #LOVEIT #damniLOVEthisman

[@lollipops1529]

I love how they just play along with everything!!!

[@yiayiane]

"Go out, kill a few people and then come back home for the tea " Hilarious !!

[@KarrieDreammind5]

Wow, I've never seen your videos, guys and I was just watching and thinking how brilliantly original and amazing this is! Instead of the same old boring interviews you actually amuse the actors by doing something interesting yourself. And then I found out you're German and I was super pleasantly surprised! Well done! Btw, why did it seem like Benedict and Martin weren't as amused as I would have expected them to be...?

[@BlackjackMonster07]

yeah same, i was kinda disappointed lol. i think it's because they were trying to stay in character maybe?

[@KarrieDreammind5]

BlackjackMonster07 I hope that's the reason. Because they both seem like people with a great sense of humour so I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't like those guys. :/

[@daniele]

Karrie Dreammind Well, actually Martin was extremley hilarious, don´t you think? And Benedict really stayed in Character - we met each other on the Star Trek Interviews - he is brilliant!!! BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH - Star Trek into Darkness SPOCKO, J.J.Abrams, Zoe Saldana...

[@peisenxu952]

therealDanieleRizzo He remembered you, albiet as "Gandalf in drag" :P

[@rouzmarie6289]

Karrie Dreammind But this is actually Richard's humor; he is very calm and cool, but in same time he's in the moment. Sarcastic humor :D

[@raqueljimenez5889]

I love Richard Armitage so fuckin' much, I can't stand it. He's not perfect, but that's what makes him so human and that's what makes him so loveable

[@mahi0710x]

Sameee

[@zoejoy2927]

I love how serious Benedict is throughout the whole interview. But Martin is all "this just keeps getting stranger"

[@overdev1993]

ich finds ja echt geil das die da immerwieder bei dem zeug mitmachen und auch drüber lachen ;)

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

You just Know its gonna be a good interview when Martin's face is all 00:13,lol.

[@ksushi8488]

I just can't recover from that Richard's 'Santa Clause!'. :D Have to rewatch the whole video again as I didn't see actually nothing 'cause of tears). (TY for not mantioning mi biutibul inglizh)

[@JasminePolitely]

i really wanted to see martin as a mushroom tho...

[@eunicejeruthlin]

Lol Ben being all sassy and shit and smacking his gum

[@lius612]

They all are just amazing! :) Martin with just playin along, Richard with simply joking, Benedict with his amazing imagination and explaining Smaug human side :D

[@Saga.Anderson]

ich mag martin freeman ja total gerne! und sein englisch - herrlich!

[@swordseye]

Benedict just being his usual Sherlockian self. Sat back in his chair thinking "yeah, whatever. I'll play along but I'm not having fun"

[@luzpueblalara4128]

Sarah Moulder in deed, he was pissed

[@johnmitchell5060]

Your interview are so great!!! I love it when the actors play along. Benedict staying character, Richard being so cute and more relaxed "Santa Clause!", Martin in his element.

[@Alagboriel]

"I like to massage myself on gold". Ben, you should start paying attention to the thing you say. People might get unusual ideas. I just got one.

[@klaramihalikova]

Daniele: Thorin! Richard: Santa Claus!! :DDDDD

[@MidnightCosplays]

Immediately Richard goes into child-mode and exclaims "Santa Claus! Nice to see you!" Love him!

[@Suebee29]

Martin seems like the nicest guy :)

[@kk-kz3xm]

-do you have a hobby next to gold? -a hobbit?

[@McrRoksMyLlamas]

Bahaha so funny.. Awesome interview Daniele. A polite and responsive Martin, and a sassy Ben for a change..hmm. Love them both!

[@Lark_Vivian]

I didn't know Benedict also played Sauron until this interview.

[@lglp3]

Lol i love how un interested benedict is at :35

[@MonochromedPrincess]

I love how they all play along so well!

[@LonelyAssassin1]

"How can you tell im sitting down" this bit got me xD and then when he started throwing stuff at Dandalf

[@Athanza]

Omg Martin Freeman I love you man! xD

[@sharon012490]

Richard armitage is so funny! Gandalf with dandruff, I laughed so hard! And when benedict said the magician, you're go go disco Gandalf! This interview was amazing.

[@VioletStar]

"Kill a few people and come back home for tea..." Oh,Benedict...

[@0izziejok0]

Haha Richard is just soooo funny!!!
