This video is just how I like my tea...Hot and English.

[@mollywilson8437]

Can you believe Aaron was 19 in this. 19.

[@catsadilla324]

Well,... yeah. He was Kickass during this time and he was still in high school. How he keeps such a prim visage after getting bashed by so many thugs is just... astonishing!

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

He is also married

[@oliviafernandes9195]

@@catsadilla324 he actually dropped out of school ate the age of 15

Caleb Grill yeah he’s married to someone who is 24 years older than him and she’s a family friend meaning she’s met him when he was just 8 years old. she groomed him what a pity

i've seen aaron johnson in like a million interviews and his accent still surprises me

[@M3Lucky]

Aaron Johnson looks older than Eddie Redmayne here. And Aaron was 19 whilst Eddie was 27.

[@sebastianchirinos7714]

[@suzannebyars3418]

Sebastian Chirinos lol I never thought I would consider it but with Aaron Johnson I AM considering it

[@sebastianchirinos7714]

Suzanne Byars Aarón Taylor Johnson is the best

[@ennediend2865]

Eddie : forever young...

[@TheChildfreeCurlyGirl]

British people seem to like the words "particularly", "sort of" and "extraordinary". I love the accent! It doesn't matter how ordinary a British man is; that accent takes him up by at least 3 notches! Lol

[@VCYT]

+The Childfree Curly Girl - thanks for the compliment :-)

[@karellano25]

+The Childfree Curly Girl so true XD

[@niamhslaney-ambridge2946]

I definitely use 'particularly' and 'sort of' a lot. :D 'Extraordinary' usually feels too strong a word, but it's a good one. :p

[@buhkangliwayway]

T Swift agrees

[@j1Dx]

Ben Whishaw is so entrancing there's something really magnetic about him

[@anbanh8067]

Eddie Redmayne is so animated and fun! It's a surprise. Ben Whishaw is so sweet and intelligent, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson just looks like a vampire.

[@ilovepointesnflexes]

Ben is so gentle and adorable!

[@aquablushgirl]

Rupert is all angles and cheekbones. He does it for me.

[@multiBurnfire]

I love how Ben articulates his words…. sounds so wonderfully British

[@dee_deer]

ben whshaw's face and voice is so soothing

[@claireverdoorn2474]

I wonder if he does audiobooks! He would be fantastic.

[@chloeskull849]

How is it possible for a person to be this attractive!! Oh, Aaron!!! 😍😍😍

[@llraven6357]

Just Love Love Love Aaron Taylor Johnson, I've seen most of his movies and he just keeps getting better each time! Even his earlier work as a kid amazingly pulls you in!

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

Robbie in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging! 😍

[@gerbat123456]

Ben Wishaw has the most wonderful voice.

[@claireverdoorn2474]

If he does audiobooks, I need them!

[@ternitamas]

he's precious

[@clemencec3790]

@@claireverdoorn2474 he narrated Maurice recently, but it's only available on audible UK I think...

[@The3rdGunman]

RIGHT!? That's Paddington

[@susiecoll6206]

His consonants are so clean

[@lbridge2010]

"I love sad things" Ben Whishaw says. Oh really.... I HADN'T NOTICED!

[@jocas5289]

This entire interview is just so sexually frustrating

[@Mausfm]

I'm a guy but I really have to say Aaron is one good looking dude.. his facial expression is amazing...

[@empressmarowynn]

God I love Ben Whishaw's voice. His intonation, accent, the softness of it. If only every audio book could be narrated by him.

[@dagmarb7158]

0:57 I love seeing his name without the "taylor" in it

[@zen_m24]

"I really love sad things". Awwwee Ben

[@minusv.singhs]

"Some of the things that you are feeling as a person, they can be used for something bigger than yourself." "You can express yourself through someone else's words." - Ben Whishaw Such eloquent and meaningful words

[@imogensmedley7166]

The Graham Norton Show researchers definitely watched this looking for stuff on Eddie Redmayne

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

Aaron Taylor-Johnson: VERY talented. Versatile. Underrated. Handsome. My favorite actor is Gary Goldman, and with the way Aaron can become a character, chameleon-like, just like Gary can, has me drawing parallels between them. I believe that Aaron's going all the way "to the top", as they say.

[@michaeltardiff2558]

I just love the way each of these men speak. Not just the British qualities of the accent, but the articulation given in each of the responses.

[@cocotiks]

Eddie Redmayne I thought was the most energetic, 'Please! Please' 'Panache' lol i love his accent, he's a great actor, cant believe he's 30 he looks so young

[@700Bonnie]

i never realized how smoldering hot Aaron Johnson is until i saw Godzilla...i guess i was always blind because of his marriage

[@AquaMarino]

Just watched Godzilla and I must say his face shines bigger than the monsters.

[@MsArctictraveller]

Ben is just beautiful. I could hear him talk all day and never get bored.

[@randomgal13]

Eddie and Ben are perfection! Eddie is so energetic, lively and adorably dorky, and Ben is so sweet and shy. I really adore this "new" generation of 20-35 yr old British actors that are coming into the public eye. They're incredibly talented, gorgeous, lovely to listen to, very sweet guys, who just seem to be so genuine and intelligent. They're taking Hollywood by storm, and I can't say I mind one bit!

[@PinkChic255]

Rupert Friend has such a calm demeanor and a face you could stare at all day.

[@cinema.zipfile]

eddie redmayne is so loud lol. but he's so adorable

[@elizabethretzlaff7612]

Just here for Rupert. Obviously easy on the eyes but, my gawd, I could listen to him talk all day I, wouldn't even care what about

[@anaoliveira4435]

oh my god, I've never noticed Ben Wishaw until this... he's so adorable! lol I have butterflies in my stomach everytime I see this interview. All those men in one single video...

[@razmatazmaz]

"I'm drawn to sad things" Gawd, between Cloud Atlas and Bright Star Ben Whishaw and his sad things just absolutely destroy me emotionally. I'm weeping at the bottom of my popcorn bucket every time I see him in something.

[@archanamohan7424]

been in love with Eddie Redmayne since 6th grade when I first watched this!! and now I'm almost 18 and I can't believe how big he is now!!

[@lexhowell3126]

Eddie. Freaking. Redmayne. He is so adorable in the way he talks, and omg just everything about him!

[@Hedgehog4real]

[@anushkalols]

Aaron is sucha gorgeous human

[@ofbooksnmore]

Ben Wishaw has a very interesting voice. Just noticed that...

[@hannahgrove4216]

[@5itka]

Ben Wishaw would make the perfect ASMR artist

[@Theywolf]

The weird observations us ASMR fans have lol but I definitely agree :)

[@CaseyLaFalce]

Do you know how much money. Do you knOW how much money I would pay for a Whishaw ASMR video? Holy cow

BEN WHISHAW BABY

[@Deebarca4]

they forgot one....tom hiddleston

[@Deebarca4]

***** i think they were looking for mostly british actors in this category

[@Deebarca4]

***** sure :)))

[@ashleymelo1924]

And James McAvoy 😭

[@benisturning30]

He's not a heartthrob.

[@Deebarca4]

Ben A why so salty ben?? lol

[@athenacolozza133]

Just..I melted in a pool of girly squeals.

[@givemetimeandacrayon]

I adore Ben and Eddie so much, so gorgeous and intelligent and funny. Eddie's very out there, and Ben is kind of more inward. Aaron and Rupert are hella fine as well.

[@Astralprojection23]

I love these interviews....all that New York Times has been able to do here is amazing. It feels so intimate and real. It ffeels as if you are actually talking (face to face) to the person. Thank you so much for the experience.,,

[@sydandlucy]

Ben Whishaw has a mesmerizing voice

[@LPSawesomeness1]

Ben and Eddie omg *fangirls*

[@Mintie365]

Hahahah! Eddie's crush on animated characters...liking simba back then seems slightly less creepy now haha

Rupert is such an amazing actor

[@vino140]

only eddie redmayne would use the word panache in a sentence.

[@leosgirl987]

Rupert is perfection

[@purplealchemistofficial]

Ben Wishaw has such an ASMR quality to him

[@ecada6260]

Eddie sounds so unbelievably smart.

[@mise91]

Panache. What a great word! And I love the nod to A Streetcar Named Desire... one of my all-time favourite films too.

Rupert Johnson is incredible in Homeland

[@annetillman5378]

Aaron Johnson is the only one in this video that is a Heartthrob.

Rupert Friend looks like he could be Jack Gleeson's older brother, no?

[@Ladyariee1940]

Im in love with Eddie Redmayne, such a great actor 

[@xpledgeturnprestigex]

I feel like I'd get along so well with Ben and Eddie. They both seem like such down to earth and genuinely lovely, warm people. Everyone look out for Ben in the BBC adaptation of Richard IV coming soon in the UK! He deserves as much recognition, if not more, than people like Robert Pattinson.

[@TheSimoneSo]

Oh Eddie. Perfection.

[@imsocoolsosuckit]

god eddie is so fucking charming.

[@rottenapples33]

I absolutely love the Ben Whishaw excerpts...he said the smartest and wisest things from the group. He came off as the most genuine...definitely a great actor.

Adore Ben Wishaw !! Thanks.

Ben Whishaw is an angel.

oh, my heart...

[@shelycuadra8915]

Aaron Taylor Johnson es verdaderamente increíble!!! Lo Amo!!!

[@benegeseritwhore]

Ben Whishaw is probably the most beautiful yet seemingly cracked out person I've ever seen. He seems warm and soft, if disjointed and and intimidating looks-wise.

[@hipnhappenin]

Oh man...The guy who said the first movie he remembers seeing is Robin Hood "with the foxes", and saying he fell in love with "Nahler" from The Lion King... Awesome.

[@dudafreire9957]

am i here just for aaron? yes i am! am i ashamed because of it? no i’m not
