Smallville's KRISTIN KREUK: Growing Out of Nerves | Inside of You

You guys mean a ton to me. Thanks for listening and staying with the podcast. Some some just come here for a certain guest which is fine, but others remain consistently loyal and it just blows me away how supportive you all are. much love.... rosenbaum

I’m really enjoying your podcast Michael! I actually like that the show isn’t just talking about Smallville. You actually try to find out about you guest inner thoughts. I feel more like I actually know your guest at a personal level more at the end of the segment. Best regards, Rick

You are a good, sincere dude, (authentic, genuine, as it were) that's why you get the support. - a real deal rosenbaum - Yeah and i'm one of the latter, in for certain guests (guests that i know).

For me, Kristin is one of your top guests. She has a really grounded outlook. I'm impressed with her beyond just her acting ability.

I completely agree. She has a great perspective you don't get to hear from many actors.

I dunno, I feel like there's more to the story with her and NXVIM. She got Allison Mack into that thing and just refuses to talk about it anymore. I'm a little surprised that no one presses her on it.

[@alicedenise5722]

Ever since the invention of KZbin there's alot more people to compete with 🤣🤷‍♀️ But there is something comforting about seeing Kristen and Michael talk about real life issues. I was feeling so angry and couldn't sleep and this is literally the conversation I needed to hear. I was angry and didn't know why but now that I know pleasing our parents is ingrained in us I feel more normal. Since they asked me for a favor that I don't want to do but at the same time feel bad saying no. Thanks!! 😄

[@RubenRodriguez-rw3ho]

I don't think Kristen is a mystery, she just seems like the person in the room that listens more than talks about herself and she's very refreshing about her views on marriage, etc. I think I like her a whole lot more now that I've been inside her on your show. I think Kristen just doesn't think alot of people are interested in her also cause she goes against the norm and thinks she'll get crap for it and it's what I admire the most about her. Plus her search for knowledge and books, working out, which I agree is like so essential for your well being, not just strength wise. She just seems very in tune with herself, loved the interview and her thoughts on you as well, I'm kinda the same when I'm in a room and I feel like I have to loosen up the atmosphere, nothing wrong with that Michael, keep up the good work, love your podcast!

[@scottkohlenberg1709]

Kristen often presents with a very pensive demeanor. It was really special to glimpse a bit of her goofy side in this conversation. Very much appreciated that she felt comfortable to let that side of her come through. Went back to school as a "mature student" myself, so totally get where she's at with her comments around work and school, and being a person in university with some life experience. Made me smile. Too bad her university is virtual, her 18 - 22 year old university peers would have loved her!

[@ethanwithap8335]

so true, I just found out we go to the same university.Too bad I'll probably never see her

[@karlbassett8485]

I agree. Most of the roles I have seen her in she plays serious, concerned, earnest characters. But I loved her in Eurotrip where she played an absolute bitch, but a cheerful one! I'd have watched a whole movie about Fiona.

[@hypercriticalbrit]

I absolutely adore Kristen Kruek. In the same way that I adore Michael and Tom, they all feel so utterly pure and genuine.

[@zestyzetty9596]

I've been an introvert and socially awkward most of my life and I've seen people come and go. Unfortunately, I've never made a friendship that really lasted. It's wonderful that you and the cast from Smallville are still friends. I love watching your podcasts, makes me feel like I'm not alone. It really is like therapy for me too.

[@Tumbleweed_]

Same here always been, though my mum tries to change me. Like also shyness and introverted I feel like like it's two different meanings they are not the same. It's not like everyone has to be extroverted in the world.

Sound like you need to join the sex slave cult. That's how she overcame being shy.

Thank you to Michael and Kristin for giving us so many years of joy watching Smallville. Wish you all the best.

[@TheGeekAuthority]

Wow. Kristin was so much fun. Smart, a business woman clearly with a good soul. Michael, what I loved best was your fun banter and obvious love you have for her. You made her so warm and open that it was easy to listen to this wonderful conversation between two friends. Thank you Kristin and Michael!

[@audrajohnston2506]

Hang in there bud. Are you watching his Talkville podcast? It's great!

[@MedalionDS9]

It's great to hear Kristin's thoughts about how she is viewed when being hired for roles from young to now... she acknowledges she was most likely hired because she is pretty... and the acting can be seen as secondary. She has been cast that way for so long, she can be more aware of the passage of time and how you are reminded of how you used to look when you were younger and very desirable... that is a trip. I know she is an Introvert, and shy, like myself and I related to her for that, as much as I crushed on her during Smallville.

[@L2FlyMN]

It seems the cast on Smallville had such a connection, having spent so many years together to produce the show. Seems too, they had a lot of fun together.

[@cainabel2009]

I got to admit this was another great, great interview, Kristin really opened up talking about her life, views on marriages and kids, school, work ethics, remembering her lines, workouts, views on the MCU even her fears off aging and not liking to be in front of the camera as much. She even mentioned as an actor she has gotten better over the years but but was under no illusion when she first started that she only got the part not because she was a great actor but due to her beauty, and what aging on camera means for her now even though she is still beautiful. Wow, that is deep stuff. I think Kristin Kreuk is a good actor and I do look forward in seeing her in more roles whether that is on the big screen or on the small screen. Michael you really do know how to get people to open as well as having the best guests.

[@JEBossTon92]

I still have a crush on her. 😂😂 She’s so awesome. I was gonna watch Reacher because of Alan anyways, but knowing Kristen is in it only adds to the hype!! So happy she’s continued to find success!!

Kristin seems like the kind of woman I'd really like to meet. She has a great laugh, a charming smile, and is very dedicated to her craft. I liked most of her work on "Smallville", and I watched the first couple of years of "Beauty and the Beast" as well.

[@HarlanGreenborough]

Loved her in Reacher this past year!! Glad to see you two reunited.

[@gengphoto]

Thank you for chatting with Kristin, Michael. I'm one of those people who grew up watching Smallville, and the show's stories helped comfort me in my own life growing up, so your characters are like friends and family to me. Whenever I get to see you guys again, it feels like reconnecting, and checking in with family again. And it's so great to see you on a platform where you can just talk like regular people. It's wonderful that you guys are friends, so Kristin feels comfortable enough speaking honestly about everyday things in her life. I know you guys get self conscious like everyone else, and sometimes you wonder if what you say is too trivial, but I'm interested in hearing it, because it's comforting to hear you're going through life's questions and struggles like the rest of us, and it just shows that you're real, honest, genuine and relatable. We all age, it's just the reality of life. But Kristin is still beautiful after all these years, so I hope she doesn't worry about that. The fact that she's so thoughtful, and caring... trying to finish school while busy working all this time, trying to find a way contribute to her community, be purposeful and help women's shelters, cares about the environment, her life concerns and outlook, and the other things you guys talk about, just shows how beautiful she is as a person. How you are as real people are not things we usually get to see on shows, so thanks for sharing your platform and insights, and allowing us to still have you guys in our lives.

[@panteafarsijani9518]

I love what Kirsten says about getting old. My mom always said don't tie your self worth to your age.

[@frankienewman9664]

Smallville is my favorite series of all time. The cast was the absolute best. I wished they had stayed together for another 10 years and used the same actors for the adventures of Superman. Best Superman and Lex. Tom and Michaels chemistry was spot on.

[@TopoftheGlist]

Love when Kristen comes on the show. Michael and Kristen have such beautiful relationship. They are extremely different people but there is obviously so much love and respect between them. It’s really cool for two people who are very much opposites have a very clear, deep understanding of the other.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I admire Michael for being able to cultivate the relationships and trust with his guests and co-stars. I am a shameless introvert. I think he would be a good communicator to a kid. I work with kids and it is so hard for me.

[@Bad_At_Parties]

I hope you find solace in knowing that you're doing important work, at the end of the day. I have a lot of insecurity and anxiety myself, but try to push myself into uncomfortable situations to show that I can overcome them. It then gives those situations or circumstances less power over me, as hard as it can be to jump into them like that. It sucks that we have to do so much extra work just to have a "normal" conversation other people do so naturally, but the more we work at it the better we can get, and some level of comfort or familiarity will form. I call it "being comfortable being uncomfortable." And because we know how hard communicating can be, because it doesn't come easy to us, I think we're ultimately far wiser once we get to a more developed state because we understand the power of speaking to someone and the impact those interactions have.

[@loveismyair_]

Kristin is the most beautiful crier seriously ~ no ugly cry never! And I am always in awe of her when she is talking about herself because she truly comes across as such a good genuine person ~ all the best to her always ♥

Thank you for your podcast and of course Smallville❤️.

Kudos to you, Ryan and the rest of your team. Keep up the great work!

[@lily__e]

Always been a huge fan of Kristin growing up and now as I am in my late 20s, it was really motivating to hear her talk about not conforming to society's expectations and her overall outlook on her life and how she evaluates what is right for her and what isn't. Really refreshing and just a great conversation to listen in on.

Such a lovely soul Kristin is. So glad to see beautiful Kristin and the cast of Smallville in other interviews beyond the show and hear from you all..

[@voltagemike6697]

This show was a huge part of how I try to conduct myself. You all did such an incredible job with all of the characters that shaped the Superman Lore. It taught me that it is almost always better to be kind than be right. Rosenbaum's portrayal of Lex was absolutely amazing! Kristen's version of Lana was also an incredible take on a character we didnt know much about in the lore itself.

[@guycoburn1633]

I just finished watching Reacher. I didn't know she was in it, but recognized Kristen after a few scenes. She's basically a distressed mother and wife, trying to protect her two daughters. She does a nice job. The full show is very good. Alan Richson gives a great performance, which is tough since a key characteristic of Jack Reacher is how he stays silent often.

[@leajamez2189]

I enjoy seeing Kristin act. Loved Partition, Beauty And The Beast, & Burden Of Truth.

[@jimondang6067]

Thank you for this podcast with Kristin Kreuk! I have been a fan of her ever since Smallville. I think she is an amazing woman and so down to earth! I can relate to her also because of a common background. I am Dutch-Indonesian mix, and Kristin is Dutch-Chinese mix, and her Chinese Mom , as far as I know, is from Indonesia. I am also black belt and used to teach when I was in the Air Force years ago. I absolutely loved her Chun-Li movie, even though it got bad reviews. There was a lot of training and hard physical work involved in that movie, and I can appreciate how hard Kristin worked for this movie. I will always be her fan and absolutely adore her! Even though I'm a lot older than she is, I very much look up to her!

[@Maxxburn101]

[@regiknight4897]

Love the show Michael, and I adore you and Kristin and Tom in all of your work - y’all are such a talented group and I’m always entertained when I see yall in various projects. That said, as a Christian, I feel a conviction in my heart to say one little thing (and I’m not trying to be preachy) when I hear people say that marriage is a construct of society it kind of bothers me. Marriage is a sacred covenant between a Man and Woman created by God, not society. I myself am a single man and that is a life choice I made a long time ago so I’m not saying that everyone should go and get married as a requirement to life. To each his/her own. However, marriage is not something to be entered into lightly, it asks for a commitment to your spouse and to your family that takes a certain amount of effort at times to cultivate and maintain. So if it’s not for you, then it’s not for you. Society’s opinion should not ever be a guide to what (your) life should look like, God should be who you look to for that🙏❤️😊 Anyway, that’s my piece - Thanks, Much Love and Y’all are Always in my prayers

[@jkbattaglia5192]

I love Michael and Kristin. Great interview. Kristin does not usually open up.

[@mikeleaf952]

As a massive fan of smallville, I've really enjoyed listening to these podcasts. Also think Michael Rosenbaum will be one of the funniest people to have a drink with. I totally agree with Kristin Kreuk about the expectations people generally have on life and that we should do what we think rather than what society expects. I personally don't want to get married or kids but would enjoy a relationship. I've just graduated a Masters degree after a Bachelors degree and my family keep telling me to find work, which I am trying to get a role in exploration geology but very few roles in the UK and trying to find a job in the USA, Canada or Australia for a Visa sponsorship hasn't been going well at the minute. I feel my family don't appreciate the need to keep learning like myself. Keep Up these podcasts, it's really interesting to hear about the cast and their thoughts on the show, and aspirations. Good luck Kristin Kreuk with your degree! I understand being an older student however I think my late 20's meant I could blend in with the younger students. I had sciatica, so I know how that can impact you, I had an operation but now doing well

[@lindagramajo9528]

I am from Guatemala, during civil war my family need to move a lot and hide and we were very poor, also in my 20s I got breast cancer but in the beginig stage I realized it so after a couple years I was fine. I really wanted to study but I didn't have any money; I worked a lot of years to save money and started University in my middle 20s and finished it in my late 20s. My society and culture are very tradicional and they demanding me all the time to get married and have kids, but I desided I don't want both because all my childhood until now I struggle with many things and I really wish to have time, space and money for myself. I want a couple to share life of course but I learned others spectations shouldn't be ours, because everybody has a diferent story and we based our goals in life according to our life experience. I mean, don't follow other people way is perfect, is great and is very brave. So you and Kristen story attending to University "late" makes me feel so good and not alone. Good luck finding your job my friend, hugs and respect for you from Guatemala🇬🇹 🤗👍

Hey there Michael, Your podcast is awesome, I watch every episode. Having new and interesting guests each week, is what I look forward to. This podcast has helped with many of my personal struggles. I am turning 50 this year as well, and it means a lot that people even at our age and even with such professional careers go through stuff too and are willing to share with us what they go through. We are not alone in this thing we call life. I've been a fan of yours for quite a long time now. Your role as Lex Luthor was stellar. I find that any actor that can portray a character so far removed from their own personality and nail it every time. You have skills my friend. I am a big fan of Smallville, and its nice to see you getting along with your cast mates. A bit of Nostalgia for sure, but seeing you interact in real life and about real life things and still learning about one another after the show has been completed is just awesome. Cheers!

Thank you Michael for continuing to bring on great guests. I enjoy seeing guests on your podcast that I don't particularly know as well as well known actors and they all have such a great outlook on life or very interesting perspectives. And thank you for your Cameo. I really enjoyed it and I was truly surprised by my roomates that a Cameo from you was my gift! It was amazing! Others here will agree, you are the best Lex Luthor! Plus having played him for 7 years, you have played that character longer than any movie Lex out there! I'm a huge Superman fan and you truly elevated Lex to the next level. I've been watching this podcast since the pandemic began and rewatching Smallville. It helped to have a a familiar face to follow along with your guests outlooks during that time. Smallville came out shortly after 9/11 and it also became a ray of hope. You did the same during the pandemic. What you do is pretty amazing! Thank you again!

I’ve only seen a couple of your episodes, but I’ve followed you on social media for a while and been a fan since your Smallville days. I must say, I think you’re a good podcast host and have a very soothing voice. I love seeing how supportive you are of your friends and how supportive they are of you. Keep it up, Rosie! 💙

Ohhhhh Finally Kristin 🤩 kisses from France 🇫🇷 😘 on vous aime 🥰

[@j_j_h221]

we are all proud of her. I can't get over how brilliant she is.

[@Mr.Pawsitive]

I love Kristin. Lets put aside the fact that i used to have a crush on her back then, and i still have a crush on nowadays. She's so wonderful, her personality i absolutely love it! I could listen to podcasts with her all day!

[@WeezyWeez1984]

I thoroughly and really love your interviews, you ask the questions that I would have asked, I am not sitting here asking "Why didn't he ask so and so on" Really enjoyed watching your interview with Kristin, she is so down to earth and very honest. She is so very nice and lively. I am so glad to hear that she is attending school, I feel that she is so accomplished and so talented and has such a kind heart. Thank you both for the honesty and for opening up and revealing your insecurities that we all experience, because we are all humans.

[@larryhunter8245]

Kirstin is amazing person. Never boring!

[@liamhassell7082]

She's great, so honest and genuine, and I never watched Smallville

[@mAdCapper]

My sister is a writer in Toronto and it is my greatest wish that they work together on something. One of my favorite Canadian talents.

[@nightraze]

Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk you to are awesome. as for Kristin Kreuk I don't think of her just as Lana. Smallville is where i discover her as an actress. I followed her career for a lot time. I enjoyed her in Earthsea.

[@trevorgerardfrederick]

First watched Smallville when I was 10 and was like 😍 when I saw Kristin. I'm 30 and I'm still like 😍 when I see Kristin. And Rosie was the first actor I studied. This is a real treat to watch.

[@kaimau69]

Love your podcasts and seeing the positive comments from ppl and not the unwarranted and unnecessary mean-spirited comments. If you don't like it, then don't watch it and just keep it moving. We're all here to have a good time listening to your talks.

[@tamarashanice0802]

Thank you for creating this space Michael. Kristin is a breath of fresh air honestly, she radiates so much light. Amazing humans you both are. We need more of this lol Love any poddy with Kristin and Tom❤️

[@theresemarkham9387]

I just finished listening to this episode and it was delightful. Kristin had so many great insights. I wish her the best of luck in getting her degree. I look forward to hearing your podcast every week.

[@helengarciapodcast]

love when Kristin comes on the podcast! She is so genuine and herself

[@BuriedValues]

Thanks Michael. This interview had a very deep and meaningful part in it for me - about relationships. I'm a writer, and a huge part of what I put my characters through, is to mirror what I see in society. People use each other and then move to marriages to defend against their insecurities - either financially, or to show off to others, "Look: I matter to someone. I am their whole life, or they have dedicated theirs to me. At least the 2nd is outward validation - to receive it from 3rd parties, not even in the relationship. The financial reason is self-explanatory. But both are recipes for failure, and why divorce and the insecurities that follow are such a large part of our society. These relationships are not based on really knowing and caring going on between the two people who are the primary actors involved in them. I am between your age and Kristin's, haven't had children, and am not married either. I don't think there's anything wrong with either of you. I found it very cathartic to tune into this episode of your show and I subscribed to your channel. Nice job. Very nice job.

[@marcwarren4393]

I'm getting into watching Smallville right now on bluray. I'm getting close to finish season 1.

[@bc3174]

Michael your interviews are fantastic. I love your relaxed manner and you put people at ease but at the same time, you get to the heart of your guests and ask great insightful questions. Top man!

[@TheRigo385]

This episode was amazing! I love love love listening to Kristin since I'm a huge fan of hers since 20 years 🥰 Michael, you did an amazing job interviewing her, it was a joy lto listen, thanks a lot and keep up the great work 👏🏼☺️

[@RockAddicted7]

She's so beautiful (and talented, and mature) and still feel "insecure" in front of the camera. It's always so hard to be women. I love all the conversation about marriage and kids, her parents raised her well and you can tell how much her family is open minded. I can totally see her in a Marvel movie/series but I'm happy with whatever she decides to do. She's so inspiring: she's graduating, helping the community and doing charity work? That's amazing. Life has so many paths, we're not forced to stay in the same direction that we chose when we were young. Growing older, you understand more and more that is not worth spending time in things you don't really enjoy.

[@LiLisa24]

Lex and Lana!! Going to watch right now!! So excited for this episode!! Love when you have Kristin Kreuk on the podcast!! Have an awesome week Michael ^_^ ❤️ Happy Tuesday 💙

new subscriber here, because I love Michael as an actor, but he's also a very skillful interviewer. Great podcast. So glad it's here on KZbin.

Thank you so much for your love and support towards my movies and career. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart💚

[@runboyprod3880]

So i just watched Alan episode so going backwards and watching Kristin only makes since too me. Funny how they both came from the same show (Smallville) and are now on one of the biggest shows on Amazon Prime. Great interview.

[@KLeeScott0712]

I've always loved you, Tom and Kristin ever since my dad showed me Smallville when i was younger and I've rewatched over the years and most recently with my Fiancé and he fell in love with the show as well ♡ I don't usually watch/listen to podcasts, but post covid when I'm dashing I do listen in my car while working. Love this podcast subscription Michael. Thank you for being you. It's such a calm presence here 😌 I love it. Thank you ♡ I feel you light up with Tom over all other guests. I love that you two are so close, even in real life♡ Kristin too! ♡

[@cainabel2009]

I never got to watch the interview the first time around because I was on holiday but I saved it on my watch list so now I am catching up. Most actors or actress do gain or lose weight for a role but as they get older some might opt not to do it as much because like Kristin said it is not good on their bodies to yo-yo between weight. Christan Bale did it for Batman he put on so much weight that people on set were calling him fatman instead of Batman then he lost some weight to gain the right size. Later he lost a lot of weight to play a really skinny guy, rumor was that he was so thin he could barely move on set because he lacked the energy necessary and the vital nutrients and had to be monitored round the clock by doctors. Wow, that is dedication. Jake Gyllenhaal has also done a lot of putting on weight and then losing it to play a variety of roles Rene zellweger also put on a 30 pounds to play Bridget Jones then lost the weight again. The movie did so well it got a sequel and she had to put on the weight again. For the third movie she said that although she wanted to put on weight the directors did not want her to. What interesting is she opted to wear a fat suit to play the role of real life killer Pam Hubb saying that putting on weight and then losing it again led to panic attacks so I am guessing that she was only too happy not to put on weight for the third role. Chris Helmworth opted to use a fat suit instead to play Fat Thor. I guess he did not want to lose his abs, do not really blame him. I have heard some actors who have done interviews say that they would take on any role where they have to bulk up but never one that requires them to put on weight in the sense that they become fat or lose so much weight that are sickly thin.

[@tyegrey_gamr]

Gosh, she is so cute and talented. It warmed my heart seeing her on Reacher and catching another Inside of you with these guys. 2022 looking amazing so far

[@aliali-ce3yf]

i've been watching "Edgemont" for the first time (the show she was on before/and during Smallville) - she's definitely improved as an actress, but she looks pretty much the same she has a terrific voice - she should do some audiobooks

[@tmntaddict]

I love how Kristin looks at things; society has taught us that admitting we need help is weakness and to not self-love or self-improve.
