Right and he's such a -hole to every interviewer

[@philippebeauchamp2827]

I think it's the first time for me to see Joaquin express himself in a joyful manner in the media.... that's amazing!

[@Fischstix95]

He had a good interviewer

[@eton13_]

he actually seemed incredibly bored and uninterested

[@weasley2o13]

Philippe Beauchamp look him up with Letterman. He's very loose and comfortable with him. It's nice to watch.

[@evelynj1430]

aww the interviewer is so passionate and asks interesting questions, bless him!

[@ML-yw4hv]

bless you

[@notherenotnow1036]

Joaquin has such a fantastic mind.

[@MissAdamLambert888]

OMG the way he intimately looks at him in the eye as he shakes his hand in the end I'M IN LOVE lol

[@codyjackschwartz3044]

wow, it was actually a good interview with thoughtful questions. would never have assumed coming in.

[@jacobsherman8666]

This interviewer is very nice I would like him to interview me.

[@juancpgo]

I just love Joaquin, he's one of those incredibly watchable people, someone with profound eyes, like De Niro, Nicholson, Pacino, PS Hoffman, Cazale... that instantaneous depth in someone's face is something I just love. And I think, more than talent, is what makes the legendary actors.

[@trnygbl23]

Absolutely agree

[@veras1228]

[@DungeonStudio]

To think Joaquin did The Master, Her, and Inherent Vice almost back to back without a break. And he is so VASTLY different in each. He makes Peter Sellers look like Mr. Rogers.

[@missthor1685]

He is so super gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kwiatekolga]

This reporter had some nice questions :) and nice accent

[@Lucols4]

a nice fucking spoilers

[@AC-ny1di]

let's get together ur friend? Promoting him are u? Sneaky lol

[@tanujaaravikumar2710]

He's brilliant and adorable

[@bfines9440]

great interviewer!

[@vedonna80]

Aww Lord, the boy is so over the moon just being able to interview him; and Joaquin can’t care less! lol Responding to his excited look as, “well, you know... not really... I don’t know... I don’t think of it... don’t remember!”. What’s interesting is, the interviewer doesn’t even get pissed or disappointed during this inconclusive interview. 😄

[@bloopy6166]

vedonna80 it’s weird how actors get paid so much for their roles, and yet they can’t even muster an ounce of enthusiasm to promote the very films their starring in.

[@vedonna80]

master chief They’re actors, not promoters. That’s why!

[@freddiemercury4evr]

That's a normal Joaquin interview. He's a humble guy.

[@EngelsLawliet]

It's cuz the interviewer did his research and understands this is as good as Joaquin gets during an interview.

[@bloopy6166]

vedonna80 good point

[@44y4l4]

He asked exactly the question I had: how did they film that beating up scene?? so good

[@contactkeithstack]

great questions that was a good interview/thanks for posting

[@bigwstudios]

Joaquin deliberately doesn't really answer the questions because he's trying to stay as far away from interviews as he possibly can. It's obvious

[@sloop3720]

Big W. Studios Yeah, he can easily see past the facade and he doesn't like fake people

[@gabevachon326]

For an insane man, Joaquin focuses well here. I am surprised he didn't ask the reporter " You didn't actually pay for that shirt, did you?"

[@ryancurrul7208]

He is such good interviewer.

[@GypsyGuyy420]

Such a cool actor 🔥🔥

[@taurean420]

Oh my gosh I can't w Joaquin. He's either too involved or not involved at all 😭

[@Scoob505]

That looks he gives the interviewer at 4:27. What even is that?? lol. What is that look saying??

[@rapunzelagain]

Ha. To me it looks like, "I'm uncomfortable and I'm glad this is over."

[@TheZackarios]

I think it's really the fact that he's really modest about his talent, and I don't think he likes to show too much appreciation when people compliment him because he's not that sort of person, he's very modest, and that's a great thing. He's not up himself. So it followed that smile and "thank you" show of appreciation, but then he showed how modest he really felt about it so he had quite a serious face. It was more of humbling look, he doesn't want to feel important, but he appreciated the compliment.

[@thesir27]

He's just making eye contact at a weird angle so it seems like a "look", but i dont think it was

[@honestabe2726]

My theory is that the guy walking behind Joaquin at that moment whispered "Hail Hydra"

[@emmanuelfriedemann3539]

Think it's about : men u care too much about things I don't care or u didn't talked enough about me or sorry I'm just an actor...

[@matheusburgo4674]

he's really trying to set a good mood, something difficult to do in a joaquin interview.

[@jacobsherman8666]

Joaquin needs to lighten up a little bit, he's my favorite actor.

[@freddiemercury4evr]

He's got an amazing sense of humor.

[@PeeWeeHermitGames]

Everyone who is crapping on this reporter should dial back and check yourself. That guy is a fucking film addict, an extreme professional and Joaquin is having an off day.

[@robhugo]

Great to see but the interviewer asked the same question twice

[@Mr06261984]

jeff bridges meet mel gibson

[@partyof4340]

I don't know how he does it people just asking the stupidest questions

[@jennybroyles4266]

What about the great performance as ' Johnny Cash in " Walk the line ?"

[@jacobsherman8666]

I like to be interviewed by this guy.

[@Danielag8042]

[@davidlean1060]

...also, modern you tube interviewers, just look at how Charlie Rose does it.

If you had done your research into Pynchon Mr Interviewer, you'd know that pizza is Doc and many other Pynchon characters favorite food! Read up on stuff before you interview, don't just read the press pack.

[@IIn3cy]

This interviewer needs to turn down. A lot.

[@Paperbagman555]

Now I've read the book but damn interviewer, GO EASY ON THE SPOILERS

[@IIn3cy]

I felt that about to happen so I stopped watching at the 1:52 min mark. Phew!

[@Paperbagman555]

Surely he should think about phrasing questions more subtly or just ask ones that don't ruin scenes. JEEZ

[@fox5dc]

Nothing in the interview is a spoiler. If you're referring to the Brolin/Phoenix fight scene...that is in the first 30 minutes of the movie. If you're referring to the scene about the Polaroid...that is in the trailer. There's absolutely zero spoilers in that entire interview! Thanks for watching my interview!

[@emmanuelfriedemann3539]

FOX 5 DC I clearely agree with Fox staff ! At once... no spoiler here ! And the guy is nice. JP had such a bad day, it seems ? Waouh, where is he ? Funny.

[@Mr06261984]

a tad bit john goodman and charlie sheen in a good way

[@MsRaconteur]

he's just so uninterested lol...if an actress acted like this, she would def be dragged and accused of being miserable and ungrateful

[@xtmt1234]

Why do you think he's uninterested? He gave very thoughtful answers and seemed sincere throughout the interview. If any actress was on his level and did the same I don't think anyone would hold it against her.

[@MsClaudiaDuran]

I love JP, but why does he always look like he just got out of rehab?

[@Lonestarstateofmine3]

Because he is kinda hippie.

[@ЭллинаВагнер-н3д]

Nooo🤨 He is look loke the real handsome Man😍very charming and male charisma,sexy brutal😛

PTA shoots on 70mm

[@DanielFlores-vo2xx]

Shot on 35mm and blown up to 70mm

[@jamielipson]

Oh I didn't realize..since The Master was shot on 70mm, I just assumed it was the same for Inherent Vice. Thanks for clarifying!

[@jszil0306]

stop it pizzahutt!!!

[@diegopisfil614]

He kinda resembles Cara Delevingne

[@tonywords6713]

lol so much deflection and plausible deniability

[@someyoungguyjohnson7239]

Damn, he talks like a hair lip while in person. Kinda works for him, though.

[@joonjoon2]

what is up with his speech he was mumbling for 3 hours in the movie
