Joshua Jackson questions monogamy with "The Affair"

[@stellaangelova]

I want to give props to the interviewer. Refreshing to hear well thought out, intelligent eloquently spoken questions.

[@COMMEN05]

STELLA ANGELOVA and answers!!! Well done

[@matthewrider6453]

Aye! I very much concur with both statements.

[@carlitosway9422]

A lady of depth values and moral aptitude.. Very rare these days.. Most women these days are more prone to only-fans than sapiosexual intelligence.. I'm impressed 👏🏾😎👌🏾💙🇬🇧

[@sarahelsayed1293]

best joshua Jackson interview I have seen such a sophisticated and authentic dialogue

[@shanabrown1653]

I was thinking the same exact thing. I've always known that Joshua was extremely intelligent, but I never got a chance to see him interact with an equally intelligent person on such an intellectual level. Shad did an excellent job asking very sophisticated questions - I wish more interviewers were like him.

[@tbam73]

Sarah Elsayed check out his IMDb interview from this year.

[@Silent_Stillness]

Really impressed with the depth of Joshua Jackson's analysis, a truly great interview.

[@divain4257]

An astoundingly articulate man answering a really interesting and relevant set of questions. Both men make this so amazingly delicious to watch.

[@carlitosway9422]

I could waffle on here, but I'll only get overemotional.. Joshua Jackson is simply one of my new TRUE modern hero's.. What an incredible incredible brilliant man and human being.. Loved him in the affair.. love his emotional intelligence. Personality, morals and values.. Just pure love.. If this world had more people like JJ we would live in a far more happier world.. Thank you for your inspiration and for everything you are JJ.. God Bless you 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏾

[@sarahnorment]

When I saw that the interview was 23 mins, I thought 'I'll just listen to a few mins then move on'... Just got done listening to the whole thing and wish it had have been longer! Great questions, brilliant character analysis. Enjoyed you both. Thank you.

[@maryellenrodgers1673]

He is such a great actor. He also seems like a genuine and good person . I just love him♡ I think what is most attractive about Joshua Jackson is his intelligence and humility. This was such a great discussion with him.

[@VeronicaGee134]

Plus his voice😍

[@judyb1539]

Ditto!♥️

[@eldygirl0212]

I just fell in love with Joshua Jackson's brain! ❤️ This was an amazing interview with great questions and discussion! Thanks so much!

[@QwithTomPower]

Thank YOU so much for watching :)

[@sonnenschein7325]

Great interview. Joshua always seems to be so reflected. I wonder if his relationship was already over when he gave the Interview. I feel for him. "My life is wrapped up in this relationship.. it would be like losing a piece of myself to separate from Diane." 💔

[@kimmer1170]

What a sophisticated, educated conversation between two grown men on some very difficult topics...Excellent interview ! Love Joshua Jackson...and Love the Affair. I wish I could've seen him in season 5. It is so refreshing to see a man want to grow and learn to the depth that he has... I could only wish most men would aspire to do this development in themselves.Shad was excellent and has great understanding and in depth questions.

[@girlmeetsreality4644]

I love when interviews turns into a conversation like this one.

[@sdemosi]

What a truly gripping interview. A thoughtful analysis of sensitive issues in a conversational style. Both interviewer and interviewee are respectful and engaging.

[@steviem8117]

ughhhh smart, funny and still sexy after all these years? total package. i'll crush on this man forever.

[@dido6118]

Same here!

[@carlitosway9422]

What did you think of what JJ said regarding right wing patriarchy? Are you a Republican or Democrat? Did you vote for trump? 🤔🤨

[@beyonddreams3988]

I can listen to Josh talk forever❤❤ his voice, his intelligence, his sexyness 😳 he is amazing❤😘 and the interviewer is amazing and not a narcissist as many interviewers are. The conversation flowed beautifully. This is how an interview is done! 👏

[@zeusmasterson4117]

An exceptional interview. The interviewer has thoughtful and insightful questions; Jackson gives deep and thoughtful answers.

[@coldsilence2]

This really makes me wonder how much I love Pacey (Dawson's Creek), Peter (Fringe) and Cole (The Affair) because of how the actual characters are written... or if it's mainly because Joshua is so damn lovable and has such charisma. What a cool dude.

[@awesomesauce6643]

My guess is it’s at least partially bc of the characters Josh chooses to play

[@beecaa6191]

For me it's his voice. It never stops being adorable even when he's playing dramatic scenes.

[@rachelryan127]

This.

[@siobanethier]

Have you seen “One Week” or “Dr Death”, or “Americano”?

[@kaleyjoplinRAWRR]

As a kid I used to have a crush on him during the Mighty Ducks. He’s always been very well spoken and funny. He seems pretty down to earth too. I really like the interviewer as well!

[@DM.123]

What a brilliant interview! Great in depth discussions and really interesting perspective which I fully agreed with.

[@amyls9]

That was a highly intelligent chat. Loved it. Thank u!

[@stormwatcher59]

An interviewer who lets the guest talk! Fantastic :)

[@LanTran-hm1vw]

This is an excellent interview with so much substantive commentary that society has a hard time delving into. Villainizing cheaters for pursing happiness is a perspective that is so fluid and complex. JJ has always been so eloquent and want to commend the interviewer-beyond intelligent and knowledgeable.

[@powderdry1227]

He’s so articulate and genuine, I love him

[@heatherc2939]

Much admiration for Jackson's acting throughout the show. I had no idea he was such a talent and clearly his intellect (in real life) is deep and clear.

[@beatrizmari4975]

Great, great interview. It's such a pleasure to just listen to them, even in the tough parts when he talks about Diane. I am deeply sorry for him, but I am sure that he has had enough and our pity maybe is not welcome or useful, so man, I hope you're happy now, and forever in your life.

[@wandasantillo1678]

"Cole" Joshua Jackson was my male favorite character. "Allison " was my favorite female character. Joshua was a beautiful man in "The Affair".

[@rayoline]

The interview flowed perfectly. I want an interview part deux!

[@Dania34]

Great questions and amazing answers!

[@Pyrochik2]

This is interesting to hear after his relationship with Diane has ended because the rumour is she entered into her relationship with Norman (her current boyfriend) while she was still with Josh. Also I must say I think he and the characters he plays are fascinating. He is articulate and seems thoughtful.

[@lightningrain313]

This was a great interview! Props to both the interviewer and Joshua Jackson for having such a riveting and thought-provoking conversation

[@la4tunjosee]

He’s so authentic and genuinely real, I love his new show the affair, he’s talented and so beautiful ❤️

[@alicegama402]

I'm still crazy about this amazing actor & human being. He blows my mind. Perfect 4me 💗

Wow. I crushed on this guy HARD in my tweens (pre DC) and to see him now and wow. Intelligent, articulate, and empathetic. The fact that he's handsome is just a nice bonus.

[@sonnenschein7325]

Very true 😊

[@CIM84]

What a great interview. The break up from Diane must have been devastating. Glad he's found his other half with Jodie Turner-Smith and now he'll be getting another part of his soul with their child. So happy for him!

[@ЮлияКузнецова-г3щ7о]

Как он умен! Он так легко разговаривает на столь непростые темы, потому что размышлял над ними раньше. Я впечатлена этим интервью. Спасибо!

[@BillBrolse]

Joshua Jackson showed his skills as early as the otherwise bland Dawson´s Creek. Both him and Ruth is incredible in The Affair.

[@S24ARJ]

I'd listen to anything Joshua Jackson has to say if he spoke so eloquently and intelligently about said subject. Especially anything related to my degree. I'm sure it would be extremely helpful, as I find him immensely engaging.

[@arunachulashiva]

Never heard of him before 'The Affair.' He's a brilliant actor and gorgeous AND his mum is from Ballyfermot!

[@belgicarivera4002]

Very interesting and enjoyable interview. Joshua, not only are you handsome but very eloquent and Intelligent.

[@destinychild4659]

Good interview. Funny that he mentioned Tom Cruise. 🤣 🤣 🤣 I never believed Diane and him would work, I guess I was right. 😎 I always believed he deserved better. 😉😉😊

[@LadyEng]

Very interesting. The interviewer is very good, and he lets the interviewee speak. JJackson is very intelligent and down-to-earth. Slightly heartbreaking to hear him talk about Diane Kruger now.

[@MrAllysonn]

Greatest interview I've seen so far of joshua.

[@audiophileman7047]

What people fail to realize is that marriage is a commitment and should reflect the highest form of trust. It is about forming a family. It is a journey that will change with time. I've been married for 23 years, and I've always put my wife and son first. The secret to a successful marriage is to put the other first, not yourself. Noah and Alison are very sad characters who use their disappointments and personal problems to justify an affair without thought of the destructive consequences. How can they be in love? Their whole affair is based on shared sorrow and physical attraction. You love someone for just those reasons, not for their character and who they are as a person? It is a doomed relationship just as all affairs are doomed. The truly sad thing is the destruction and sadness children face as a result of an affair and when the spouse chooses to leave for his or her illicit lover. Before someone engages in an affair, they really need to think about the pain their family will face. If that doesn't stop him or her from having an affair, then he or she is hopeless!

[@theintellectionsurge109]

Great interview about a great series... well done

[@Lisa-ef4cw]

I love your comment about ascribed attributes!!! For example, attractive people are assumed to be especially capable!! But it's a conditioned opinion

[@minolidealwis695]

Watching this 4 years on .. and after binge watching the affair I can only say that maybe we have gotten things backward ..we now have sex for compensation of everything , rather than recognizing it to be the beautiful experience it is ..and with that we lost the values in love,respect for each other and most importantly the ability to physically and mentally connect to an individual who overtime becomes the center of your universe ..that's what we crave for as humans ..and it's when we cant appreciate that we begin to doubt the love we have firstly for us and then for those around us ..joshua you are an amazing person and an actor . You shine as always !!

[@destinychild4659]

No defense to Brad Pitt or some other big names, but I just can't see them in this kind of interview, talking so openly and honestly about deep stuff and actually being this real. Kudos to especially Josh and also to the interviewer!

[@kristagerry8505]

George Clooney maybe?

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

@@kristagerry8505 No, I think he'd be much more conscious of his public image. The A Listers have more to lose, so it's harder for them to be quite so open and honest.

Such a well thought out conversation!!

[@1927su]

Great interview ! I loved this show; it’s so deep & thought provoking. I love observing the details of the character’s personalities & personal perspectives ! I loved the dynamics of it; in some ways I love how it shows how people can grow over time ; Noah nailed it when he told Colin that the whole family was bat shit crazy & brutal with each other, but that when the shit hits the fan, we show up . Helen & Noah , over time, grow individually, and grow together & are closer than ever toward the end. And that depth may not have occurred if Noah hadn’t had the Affair. I think they both became better people because of it. I loved the casting in this show too! One example, Vic and sierra’s baby , the adult Eddy, was casted great! The details in his character subtly shows the aspects/individuality of both Vik & Sierra; it is amazing if you really look. And how similar he is to Vic, even tho he never knew Vic, you can see Vic in Eddy. And see Sierra’s mannerisms too. At the end of the day, no one person, or no one couple’s experiences are the exactly the same. This show really showcases this fact really well.

[@walterbishop3668]

He can talk

[@annclairepahlavi7622]

Omg, he has such a strong accent!

[@jennifermasiello2128]

I think he is way hotter than Noah. However, it takes a lot of talent to pull off Cole's character. As far as all of the pain and loss he had to endure. Wether he is in character or not, he is so smart and he is very eloquently spoken. I feel bad he was single again after ten years. Poor guy, so much has changed in today's society with social media...etc. I hope he is doing well. He seems like a geuinly good guy.
