sebastian stan and jennifer aniston joking about making a romcom together this is not a joke this is my LIFE

[@TheFlowMind]

This is the strangest duo but that's why we like the pairings of "Actors on actors". I'm glad Sebastian is finally getting the recognition he deserves outside MCU e GG! I really hope he gets nominated for "Fresh" or "Pam&Tommy" (after the snubs he received from "I, Tonya")! And the "Morning Show" is just outstanding and by producing it, Jennifer can finally get to star in interesting roles!

[@monsieurlechevalier]

Definitely. Sebastian Stan is underrated as an actor, as are probably all the actors in MCU. He has a great future ahead of him. Jennifer Aniston, of course, is a class act, multi-award winning actor. The pairing makes sense, because the two actors balance each other out. And they are both incredibly fluent in talking about themselves and their craft.

[@monsieurlechevalier]

@Jennifer Aniston ??? What’s LOL?

[@Scorpio90G]

Exactly. The Amazing long career Jennifer Aniston has with the great career Sebastian Stan is building. But their roles are like completely different. I started watching just to see what topics they will cover and ended watching the whole video. I like this Actor on Actor videos. 👍

You know I find this to be noteably common among 30+ somethings professionals. It’s certainly not everyone but when they are willing to learn about each other and ask about how the other person handles working in the same environment in a different version of the same job. I really enjoy seeing secure, respectable adults sitting down with a professional intrest in someone else and their perspective and personhood. It’s so refreshing.

[@marvelgeek642]

It makes me happy to see Sebastian finally getting out there in the world, not that he wasn’t before but the fact more people are able to see his talent for acting and his passion towards it

[@Clydedonovn2424]

Literally he is so passionate about acting but being bucky is what most ppl noticed!

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

God I feel the same way. It's so nice seeing Sebastian getting more attention. He feels like an untapped resource right now. He's one of the absolute top young actors in the MCU and, sadly in my opinion, got shafted out of being Captain America (much as I adore Mackie). He was an absolute highlight of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and is a truly great actor but he definitely has a record of having some really bad roles despite being such a talent. And it's not for lack of trying, he really does seem to go for more out there material a lot of the time which is great, like The Bronze, I, Tonya, The Devil All The Time. I didn't really enjoy The Bronze, found it a bit crass and immature but he was hilarious in it as the cocksure, slick, proficient, manipulative piece of shit coach. I loved him in I, Tonya, how he could transform from meek, cringe, nasally Jeff one minute to ranting, abusive, plotting nut-job Gillooly from one minute to another, perfectly blending comedy and real nastiness (I love the scene where he speaks to the 'bodyguard' in the restaurant, the 'you made your bed, now die in it' attempted confession). I truly always felt he got snubbed by the awards recognition for Margot (who I felt was good but a bit overrated and definitely overpraised, in my opinion) and Allison (who is a treasure and deserved the awards), which was a real shame. And then I thought he was a great final foil to Tom in The Devil All The Time as the expedient, corrupt sherif. So, as I say, it's nice him getting more mainstream attention outside of just being Bucky in the MCU. With Bucky even, I'm worried he'll continue to be relegated to support or co-lead status purely in buddy cop style appearances with Captain Falcon, despite having title character potential (beyond being the antagonist in The Winter Soldier) thanks to Stan's acting capability and thanks to how amazingly interesting the character is, both in the MCU and the comics, with tonnes of potential. He should be teaming up with other characters like Yelena since they never did very much with Natasha but sadly I think they'll just lock him in with Mackie as the easy option because of their awesome bromance and call it a day, when the character and the actor deserve much, much more, particularly given how all the foreshadowing from First Avenger to Civil War was on him becoming Cap and how he had the 9 picture deal.

[@mnkykungfu]

I think this is the most talkative and enthusiastic I've ever seen Sebastian Stan in one of these promotional things. He normally hides and talks the minimal amount necessary, but he's so invested here.

[@akemi86]

As an actor myself, these (and this is what I call them) sessions are just so incredible. Jennifer made a great point about tiktok, insta, and youtube. A lot of us are actors not to be famous but because we LOVE bringing stories to life. I have a 9-5 job to pay my bills, most actors make 0 money from acting but we do it not for fame but because of our love for it. And social media being a part of our world doesnt do us any favors either. I was born in 86 and i truly miss how it was before social media. I do self tape auditions because its largely used now but the thrill of auditioning infront of people is so incredible. I come a theater background and transitioned to film and tv and the rush of being on stage and on camera are so different. I could talk about acting for hours because of how much i love it

[@pixiesandenvyx]

They spoke beautifully. I love that there wasn't even a breath between the transitions in questions. Sebastian was so humble, too. Jennifer is all magic all the time.

[@jessicahope523]

Best actors on actors I’ve seen. It was very seamless & effortless with their conversation.

[@mayalevy8332]

This was the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. Sebastian Stan and Jennifer Aniston are my favriote actors of all time and whoever came up with this idea is the smartest human alive. This conversation was so raw and real and it was a real interview not just two actors joking around. They got to learn from each other and they both provided the other with insight on skills they haven't gotten to use on screen before. I also just want to point out that im so happy for Sebastian. He is finally getting recognized as a serious actor. I mean for him to be interveiwing Jen that must have felt so out of reach 5 years ago but he is finally getting treated like the A list actor he is and interveiwing Jen who is the most famous anyone could get is just confirmation for him. LOVE YOU BOTH and please make a rom com together!
