Hahah, I was thinking the same thing as the journalist. Jeremy absolutely nailed the role of Ari Gold. Just flawless. I was half-surprised to see him in interviews and stuff and discover that he's so chill and mellow. Nothing like Ari, lol. Just goes to show how brilliant an actor he is.

[@MegaSteven011]

Ari gold and Johnny Drama were the greatest actors

@@brettheath7127 but was it really acting? Or were they just playing exaggerated versions of themselves

[@kawi7676]

I never would have thought that until I heard Johnny drama speaking like a normal person lol.

[@ViggoBauman]

That NY Times reporter said what everyone else is thinking. Ari was in many respects what made Entourage. Sure there were all those delicious girls and cars but without Ari the show doesn't sync up.

[@graham6132]

That NYT reporter is like every NYT reporter: So dense they can’t distinguish the actor from the role, especially if that particular role goes against their ideological commitments (Ari’s misogyny, homophobia, etc.)

[@anneneville6255]

Its funny That in Entourage Ari is always yelling and in this interview I can barely hear Jeremy’s voice haha

[@israelgarcia4633]

Lol I noticed the same, Ari is so damn loud all the time, and Jeremy is calm and smooth. Lol is like watching Ari on some massive calm drugs hahaha

[@michaeldebernsteiner4940]

He should have adopted the role and stay like that forever ! Best performance in TV history .

[@jommyfonseca6109]

Ari gold outgrew The show itself

[@siddharthnandi8567]

I can see why jeremy doesn't make it into big movies. Looks like a tough guy to work with, even though he played the greatest character in television history.

[@Don-pk2uy]

He was in smoking aces

[@noonston]

Greatest Character ever??? Tony Soprano.

[@LuisCarmezim]

I'd say he is easily one of the greatest supporting characters in tv history

[@VenomousStare]

3:00 I loved that scene. Especially the part where he drinks his drink.

Not plugs...

[@polite_as_fuck]

It pains me to say this, because Ari is one of the best characters in television history, but Jeremy Piven gives off a slightly cunty vibe.

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Maybe it's because you're a bitch?

Mayne its cuz his feeling were hurt ...

[@bearded1derr]

Looked like he wasn't into the interview perhaps. I also got a weird vibe from him.

[@andydrew3320]

You do realize they’re literally on set filming right? Some actors can’t jump in and out of character that easily. Go watch one of his normal interviews off set and he’s such a nice dude. In this he’s just still in character.

[@jcrpictures4405]

Jeremy Piven is kind of a fruit in real life it's kind of weird

[@heatalldayy]

Realist yeah he's probably a switch hitter.

What was your favorite episode? God these questions were awful!

[@saongpark2423]

Unfortunately, the woke Hollywood has blacklisted Jeremy Piven for portraying Air Gold.

[@JeffTY77450]

I hadn’t heard that. Sorry to hear that, if true. He was just an actor playing a part.

[@WILSON.1]

Wow I thought Jeremy Piven would be cool in real life.

[@dominiquecampbellzero]

He is super cool

[@GamingBuzz1]

Atrocious background noise

[@thethomasj1795]

Did Doug call Jermey fat??

[@compass_Matt]

cheeeeeesssseeeeee

[@wjatube]

Jeremy seems sedated in this interview.

[@Carolina-Defense-Force]

He seems sedated that way in just about any video/interview he does outside of the Ari Gold character! His normal self is way closer to the Smoking Aces guy he played! Seems zoned out, almost as if he’s hypnotized

[@joshuaaaron3479]

FUnny when shitty filmmaking is covering two of the greatest.
