I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING JOSH FOR HIS HAND IN MARRIAGE

[@cliffbunsam]

You may have a chance. His current long-distance girlfriend lives in New York.

[@pagethreemodel]

Sis get to the back of the queue!!

[@ceejay4294]

@@cliffbunsam no they live together in London he’s said multiple times

[@daffodilpoeticus]

You and me sis

[@patmcqueenxoxo]

get in line.

[@sophomoreprodigy1939]

Josh is a sweetheart in real life. But his roles are so complex and he plays them with such deep human shades!!! Incredible actor. You've got a treasure in your hands Netflix.

[@Dzanarika1]

Yes, I love what you said, "he plays them with such deep human shades". He is really amazing at getting lost and saturated with the character he is playing. His face and body language is able to communicate all he is going through without one single word. I love him.

[@seyara1]

Josh's portrayal of Charles in the Crown was beyond excellent. He made me pity him and like him immensely in season 3 for his soft character only to turn that around in season 4 where you find those same character traits caused him to be weak and selfish. He deserves every accolade he receives in my opinion.

[@raindropsneverfall]

I first saw him in God's Own Country a couple of years ago. He's such a terrific actor. I love the vulnerability he brings to the characters he's playing.

[@hellodolly2551]

Same. His best role yet

[@editolago2216]

Same here.

[@alessiatrani5894]

Same! I completely fall in love with him.. such an amazing actor! I loved that film

[@phirion6341]

God's own country is a masterpiece

[@cliffbunsam]

A masterpiece with phenomenally brilliant performances.

[@reenasophia8227]

After that movie, knowing he was playing charles was the only reason I watched the crown. Best choice.

[@cash_eye]

Yes one of my absolute favorite movies

[@Bluey306]

i've heard about it and now i really want to watch it!!

[@djmotise]

I beg to differ.

[@lilylopez5643]

We really just gonna skim passed the fact that both versions of his dad were in that Doctor Who episode?

[@stillwatchingnetflix]

Mind. Blown.

[@elevens6953]

he's an icon. he's a legend and he is the moment.

[@Chris-hp9be]

Come on now 💅🏾💅🏾

[@bababaghanoush]

I feel like he should be in a Wes Anderson movie!

[@cielavalos5799]

yep!

[@sabineshafa5809]

We are thinking the same thing

[@flala2261]

💡 yea that’d be cool!

[@TheTomcatish]

So true ! That would be a hit. He’s proven his comic talent in Emma

[@annadelmonaco1566]

such a wonderful "natural" actor and his seamless transition into character makes him so believable - never feels like hes "acting" and of course his wonderful charming demeanour and guy next door thing keeps making us come back for "more Josh"

[@lomitimhowan3872]

Such a beautiful actor, not just in a visual sense but in the way he carries the sensitivity and vulnerability of his characters. So open and vivid his portrayals.

[@TheConstantSeeker]

When I saw him in God's Own Country... I knew this guy was a magnificent actor. So glad he got worldwide attention via The Crown and can keep using his fabulous talents.

[@yuliiataranova2056]

Really like “The Durrells”

[@sharonloisandbramstoker]

Me too! It's what introduced me to Josh and I was an instant fan.

[@elijahcaldona7690]

We need more of Josh's American accent.

[@alexisbarcelo6533]

Watch challengers

[@mahalekshmipadmakumar3539]

I love how he is so grounded after such a big achievement and his array of beautifully constructed roles defining every stride he makes in the industry. He has captured hearts unbelievably fast and he promises to forever keep that place. Bravo MY LOVE. Rightfully deserving. Josh forever. 💖

[@chocoeclaire]

i’m absolutely in LOVE with him, he manages to play any role he gets so well!!! i wish him all the best in his career

[@thecinematicdreamer1055]

The range he possesses....wow

[@intothewoods_dave]

God’s Own Country. Now a fan for life!

[@ximenaalvarez668]

I loved him as Charles is third season, I hated him as well in fourth season ( his performance was astonishing!) then I watched The Durrels and loved him as well. The best thing about Josh apart from being an excelent actor is his charisma, you can notice that in the interviews

[@l.a.3479]

*excellent

[@Dzanarika1]

I love how he played the character of Charles. I felt every emotion he was portraying, he was just so brilliant.

[@trinaq]

Josh is so convincing at making you despise Charles and his despicable treatment of Diana, that you'd almost forget that he's acting! 😍🎭

[@sharonfenech2912]

You forgot to mention his part in BBC Les Miserables, opposite Lily Collins!!

[@letizia6391]

YEEESS, he was, as usual, amazing

[@sharonfenech2912]

@@letizia6391 Yes I was! Tbh before Les Miserables I had never heard about him but after Les Miserables I continued to follow his acting career and he manages to impress me every time 🙂

Genuinely has so much talent, I can't wait to see what else he'll do!

[@edacelika]

My fav roles are Prince Charles and Larry Durrell❤️

[@fairypoo]

How he nailed the accent and personality in God's own country actually amazed me after I found out he wasn't northern.

[@edacelika]

Hey netflix! I think you should add Les Miserables too. He was so great!!

[@hazirahizati5894]

My first Josh was The Riot Club!

[@aznSeddie]

Netflix slept on Josh as Marius in BBC's Les Mis.

[@l.a.3479]

It ran on public television here in the U.S. and is available on Amazon Prime. I guess that's why it's not included in this Netflix video.

[@claramoran]

such a bright future ahead of him!!!!

[@nav12G]

I hope this talent will be recognize .. he's a great actor

[@ardenlorken]

To me, he's always Larry from the Durrells.

[@mariavictoria8003]

Wow im just amaze at how good is Josh portraying emotions of different characters ,no wonder he won the award and all the upcoming awards

My favorite role he played is one that isn’t mentioned here. He played such a poetic Marius Pontmercy in Les Miserables (with Lily Collins)

Same. That’s where I first got I introduced to him. And loved him in that

[@l.a.3479]

That is my favorite as well.

[@sharanyakhare5819]

Josh O'Connor is the most brilliant actor. My favourite role of his Prince Charles from The Crown. I didn't know he had such a vast career at a young age. He's a versatile actor and I would love to see rest of his work.😍

[@ma.guadalupecervantes4750]

If you now adore him, wait to see GOD'S OWN COUNTRY where He's Astonish!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thoroughly recommend Hope Gap. Him and Bill Nighy were amazing as father and son.

Thanks. I'm a fan of Bill Nighy's, too.

Gods Own Country. One of the best movies I´ve seen.

[@lyaamkh]

he deserved another lead actor role

[@cash_eye]

Reappear Street & God's Own Country are my favorite roles of his

[@neamhu-m479]

Favourite role has to be Larry but God's Own Country is incredible.

[@l.a.3479]

There's a glaring omission here: Josh's performance as Marius Pontmercy in the Les Miserables limited series which was shown on public television here in the U.S.

[@love-lp9pu]

Who’s on a josh marathon after Challengers

[@Blingblingbee]

God's own country is criminally underrated 💕

this man is gorgeous

[@sueb1337]

When I saw “Gods own country” I thought I have to see more of this guy. Then “The Durrells” and “The Crown” came along😍

[@dynamoninja8510]

He also was in lès miserable in 2018

[@l.a.3479]

That's where I first saw him, an awesome performance as Marius Pontmercy.

[@houseoftyrell1544]

I knew this since God's Own Country that Josh gonna be the new British rising star then after he cast on The Crown I'm more sure he's the new "it" boy along with Anya Taylor-Joy as the new "it" girl in British film industry and they both won Golden Globes, so glad both of their talent got recognition.

[@karlitatwogood1612]

He is destined for greatness. If he keep his way straight and avoid drugs, his name will be written in stars.

[@huh5912]

I bet he wouldnt fall to drugs. he said in lots of interviews that he spent his freetime reading, gardening, art and photography. He also said he doesnt really enjoy nightlifes, I havent see a single photo/video of him in clubs. Honestly his life persona just made him lovable even more.
