[@Lola_t]

He just became a dad, and the dad jokes have already begun. Well done Oscar, well done.

[@arimax888]

wow,I didn't know until I saw your comment! good for him :)

[@Comando729]

I love it when Stephen has a guest on and they talk philosophy and classic literature, not many late night hosts can do that these days

[@RheiaKenchana]

I love it whenever Stephen 'nerds it out'

[@XxXChazzyXxX]

I love how Stephen's intelligence brings out the best out of his interviewees. Imagine what Jimmy Fallon would have done with this.

[@Shadowcam00]

Jimmy Fallon: "(insert big fake laugh here)"

[@tenshimai]

Shadowcam "cue slap desk"

[@samfilmkid]

Wow! Wow! That's so awesome dude! Lotta words...lotta words...yeah, so awesome."

[@empireoflightz]

Hehe... Hamlet.. heheh. I love Hamlet man. Heheheh...

[@zareena.2674]

Oscar Isaac is such a beautiful human being 😭

[@mustardsfire22]

He looks so good with salt and pepper hair.

[@kopec82]

mustardsfire22 he looks good period !

[@marksouthall4508]

He’s my fantasy boy ! So sweet, intelligent and funny but drop dead gorgeous.

[@blofeld39]

OSCAR ISAAC AS HAMLET?!? KEEGAN MICHAEL-KEY AS HORATIO?!? ...I NEED TICKETS TO THIS!!! :-O

[@Mrsbeatle1968]

blofeld39 I'd love to go, but cold hard cash is lacking! I don't know if you like Oscar there's a nice group of Oscar fans on tumblr !

[@acapellagirl24]

The Public Theatre offers student tickets sold in advance at the box office for cheap. They're already selling them for Hamlet!

[@emmavictoria3529]

He's so hot I'm crying?

[@ecsisof3]

emma victoria that happens to me sometimes too.

[@etheangel2220]

Maybe you just have a severe emotion problem?

[@ng23242]

I’ve done that a couple times

[@valenciadale3506]

“We’re Russian in the morning.” **stares & blinks** Gets me every time 😆

[@Aryadnat]

What's this about? I don't get it

[@klawis]

@@Aryadnatpun for “rushing”, i guess?

[@brodiecook6265]

Imagine Kimmel or Fallon trying to have this kind of conversation. I think they're funny but Colbert is in a realm of his own.

[@Armkinda]

Well, Kimmel is funny, Fallon not so much

[@commanderjohnscott]

They all have distinct styles respectively. In my opinion, Colbert is the intelligent style funny, Kimmel is mean and sarcastically funny, while Fallon is a man who is an adorable guy with very very good resources, he got the Roots, his studio is relatively more accessible to movie stars. But he on his own is a liiiiiiittle bit less than the other two as a talk show host. Well that's just my opinion.

[@cc22ful]

Jimmy Fallon is funny?

[@squamish4244]

Stephen is not a deity?

[@brodiecook6265]

Wow condescending much?

[@jbordis]

NO! I want more! I want to watch an entire episode of Oscar Isaac and Stephen Colbert explaining Hamlet to me!

[@latronqui]

Oh, I loved that nerd conversation about Hamlet so much!

[@nahor88]

"Plays the bad guy in X-men..." That moment you realize you forgot X-Men: Apocalypse exists.

[@archer9855]

he's hot

[@martinaee]

If I were gay.... Good looking man!

[@maxxsteele9396]

You have homoerotic fantasies about tapping dat ass. Oh yes, you're gay.

[@TheKrostiman]

So what?

[@kylejnicholson]

I was going to say the exact same thing! He is so so so sexy!

[@nerissa153]

Seanie ikr

[@theosmith1182]

Gotta tip the hat to Jon Batiste here. The musical cue at the end of the interview is the opening to Such Sweet Thunder by Ellington/Strayhorn. The entire suite is based on the works of William Shakespeare.

[@SeanSmithly]

I'm really glad Colbert has hit his stride with The Late Show, he's honestly the best late night host there is

[@wokeupinapanic]

Too bad his band is the worst in late night. John B sounds like the Jared Leto Joker 90% of the time.

[@houdazahrane5871]

My favorite role of his so far is Nathan in Ex Machina. I didn't even recognize him in it until halfway through.

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

Houda Zee I really got smitten when I watched ILD; normally I dislike people like that but the way he played him was just dripping with OOOMPH.

[@LarsUlrichIsMe]

Wow, they posted the WHOLE interview in one video.

[@Mi-kf5bc]

🏆One day Oscar will win an Oscar. ... when he was born they handed his mom an Oscar (Isaac)...and the prophesy was set in motion.🏆

[@frank4page]

another dad joke.

[@Mi-kf5bc]

Francisco Casillas *adjusts blackberry belt clip, casual fanny pack, hat with a golf course logo* i don't know wHaT you're talking about...son.

[@RajasVids]

my dad has 2/3 of those, nice

[@shadow3brigade3SBX3]

*Guatemala Tu Nombre Inmortal*!!!

[@kingarmani6068]

I think you just became the prophet that tells the prophesy of Oscar winning an Oscar... what a time to be alive.

[@williamthefloridano]

Oscar Isaac is just fucking awesome

[@foolishsamurai]

Oscar Isaac will always be the crazy ass guy from Ex Machina for me.

[@crieverytim]

Sreekanth Narayanaswamy whoa. didn't put that together

[@mickyjoe97]

His dance is iconic

[@Lario64]

same here

[@willyt8541]

"We're Russian in the mornings."

[@inskill-szkoleniadlabiznes305]

But I don't understand. Can you tell me what's that mean?

[@Buenomars]

"Young actor." Dude is 38, has grey hair, and has been acting for two decades...

[@Squeenix1]

Buenomars 38 is the new 20.

[@knightleyemma]

Well, Hamlet was 30- NOT V young for HIS day, but pretty much for our time!

[@johnjungkook2721]

Buenomars He's young for the roles he gets cast. Young-ish middle-aged, dramatic roles are often played by people in their forties.

[@johnyreyes3567]

38 is old if you're like fuckin 12 or something

[@LXW-Arts]

@@johnyreyes3567 old is 65 or 67 and older. Old is when you can retired from working and signs mental or physical strains that keep from doing much.

[@edrienekyle9535]

He's a fineeeee~ gentleman

[@equilikua]

He seems down to earth, I like that : )

[@Mrsbeatle1968]

equilikua he is !

[@Yogzy2175]

had no idea he's almost 40! Amazing actor

[@TheProphegy]

He was amazing in Ex-Machina. Underrated performance.

[@kopec82]

I can’t imagine Jimmy Fallon asking this questions! That why Stephen is in other level!

[@islathesper7406]

"Where's the deluxe version?" I love Oscar, so bloody talented.

[@BlakieTT]

Happy 40th Anniversary, Star Wars

[@ThomasBaxter]

Dad jokes

[@idolrocks9017]

Thomas Baxter At what time?

[@lagaman11]

"Sounds like a good play"... LOL! Who would've guessed???

[@lizannewhitlow1085]

Oscar played the best King John ever in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. He is a scream.

[@AngelaSealana]

This conversation is WHY I watch Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Yes.

[@thecoatesieshow95]

So, what does Poe do to make Leia slap him? Damn, this is gonna bug me until December.

[@blueskybelyr]

I know, like Poe's the most bubbly inoffensive guy in the new movies... what could he have done, Leia doesn't seem the type to snap easily Maybe he kills Kylo. Fingers crossed

[@TitoTimTravels]

Possibly because they blew up the planet her son was on. We are pretty sure Kylo got away - but she would not know that.

[@MrPiper99]

What? Are you serious? Kylo is the main antagonist. That's like killing Vader in Empire. He won't die until episode nine, if he does die at all. Furthermore, you really think she would slap him? That's retarded. Furthermore again, Poe would not be the person to kill Kylo. That's stupid. You have to understand script writing and screen writing before you make a guess that's likely or probable.

[@TheHebrewHand]

He probably just says something off base about Kylo or Han, she gets pissed and slaps him back into place

[@elSethro]

Nothing; after Oscar got slapped 27 times, the scene ends up getting cut from the movie. :P

[@nelsonlucero1367]

#GuatemalaPower Very Proud Man!!

[@anna-maria1412]

Loved the nerding-out over Shakespeare 😌

[@FreshMyFeelings]

What a stud

[@yeoboshong]

wonderful conversation about Hamlet!

[@Karanagi]

Such a great actor! Love his work in Ex Machina and Star Wars. Seems like a cool guy too!

[@babayagas]

i could listen to a hot guy talking about shakespeare for the rest of my gd life.

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

One of my favorite actors. Loved him in Sucker Punch.

[@FatimaSorianoOfficial]

"The talented guy in just about everything"? Biggest understatement of the century.

[@TheLeatheryman]

So I was watching some Australian movie called Balibo the other night and who turns up? Friggin Poe Dameron as José! This guy has an impressive body of work! He will have Oscars raining down on him one day!

[@Mrsbeatle1968]

TheLeatheryman he's a talented guy !

[@roguestar8]

Who would ever want to hit Poe Dameron in the face?!??!!

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

Pink Love "Want" being the keyword, I'm sure; nobody does!

[@JTM610]

Pink Love well Leia does

[@pensiverestless6111]

I would. Imma fight his ass.

[@BrainyCesarin1]

May the Force be with you Oscar, always and forever!!!. You are a hell of a pilot!!!.

[@fridahermioneorgana9490]

I've seen Star Wars when I was 4 or 5 years old too for the first time and IMMEDIATELY felt in love with it! Being born in 1990 I've seen the trilogy all in one at home :)

[@Dagens24]

I have yet to see Mr. Isaac in anything that he hasn't be fantastic in.

[@emeraldbuilder8830]

If Oscar Isaac taught my English class Hamlet in college I never would have fallen asleep during it

[@IvanKrappenchitz]

George Clooney found a time machine

[@racer9x]

Return of the Jedi was also my first star wars movie. It made such an impression on me that I saw it 3 times. The upcoming star wars film sounds great.

[@NewhamMatt]

The band played "Such Sweet Thunder" by Duke Ellington at the end! Nerding out SO MUCH right now!

[@samechaos3297]

What was the first one?

[@mattceccotti]

I LOVED this nerd-out!!! Please have more!

[@ponygal2006]

I could see him as Nathan Drake 😍

[@nhaikof7056]

I had a final on Hamlet like a week ago, only if I couldve used an Oscar Isaac interview for study

[@aiyacharlene]

i hope he wins the award of his name one day

[@Janaparnikova]

well, we russians love him, so come visit any day

[@Janaparnikova]

it's cool, we're not that guys, that usa propaganda try to potray us we get the jokes 4)

[@lorig1526]

This is a great interview! I'm just ahead of Oscar...I was front and center at the cinema at age 5 for Star Wars: A New Hope in 1978!!

[@DH-mf2qt]

Nerd it out! yesssssssss

[@TripleDoubleFine]

I fuckin love smart actors

[@emercycrite]

He's so chill

[@brssnkl]

This was good conversation and good tv

[@reach2prasanna]

I first saw him in Ex Machina and was blown away by his performance. He reminds me of Rami Malek for some reason though. Awesome dudes they both are.

[@bielsabas4407]

great interview!

[@meritawi]

I'm sold! best summary of Hamlet ever

[@23hybridfire]

Nerdgasm!

[@b2manatees]

Ex Machina is AMAZING.

[@NKA23]

"Return Of The Jedi" was released in 1983...

[@socrappyicoulddie]

Keegan-Michael Key as Horatio? I don't even know what to think about that but now I wanna see it. I love seeing Shakespeare being discussed on late night!

[@RowanneSmile]

What a wonderful guy in so many aspects! Such a big fan of him

[@nickclone]

Holy Crap! He was Apocalypse!?

[@adam.f89]

First thing I ever saw him in was Show Me A Hero, an amazing mini series by The Wire's David Simon. Sooo good, I'd really recommend it

[@theolamp5312]

Unfortunately, I've never seen Oscar Isaac in Llewn Davis, but I saw him in Ex Machina, he was incredible.

[@drewmorrison]

Ex Machina is one of my favorite movies. I bet he will be awesome in Hamlet

[@j.lclever7019]

Colbert makes the best interviews. Fallon best Sketches. Kimmel best Monologue. Corden best Singing segments.

[@awakenow7147]

As much as I liked Poe, I thought his character in Ex Machina was fantastic.

[@lDrownded2]

Another great performance by Mr. Issac ( and Domhnall Gleeson, who plays Hux in "SWTFA" ) is in "Ex Machina".

[@graphiquejack]

Sex on a stick. And I am going to need a lot of Kleenex for this new Star Wars movie...Carrie’s last film. It’s going to break my heart

[@jackscullion8442]

Oscar Isaac is irritatingly good looking...

[@nataliec2685]

Perfect five o clock shadow 🔥

[@LXW-Arts]

His parents named him after a award

[@TreetopCanopy]

Excellent bit of theological conversation at the end there :)

[@GraeHall]

You want him to be good, and when he nerds out on Shakespeare, you see that he's not good. You see that he is fucking great. He is talented and considered and god damn good at his job.

[@rosebuddesign635]

Return of the Jedi, 1983!! ☝But great interview, so smart. 👍

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Love this guy

[@griffin1488]

okay not 2 b dramatic but oscar is so endearing??? like with everything he talks about he's completely emotionally invested and he's intelligent and i'm just in awe of his skill and capability.

[@reyskywaka3202]

That slap had me shook.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Oscar played the bastard, Blue in Sucker Punch, one of my favorite movies, and I see him as Poe Dameron in The Force Awakens. He's pretty awesome!

[@melanieonealmurray335]

“This sounds like a good play.” So freakin funny

[@lenap319]

He's amazing, he even opened for green day!😍 and i couldn't believe that he played apocalypse...

[@greenlizardballs]

Nathan Drake right here. Bryan Cranston is Sully. You heard it here first.

[@MrKkbeau]

the first one i saw in theaters was when i was six and it was the phantom menace

[@rochajraphael]

what a class act. Oscar Isaac never disappoints. from all about the Benjamin's to a most violent year.

[@rochajraphael]

fuck not to mention ex machina

[@GuppyPal]

See him in Ex Machina. Outstanding!

[@Mateocabrera2389]

I've never seen a more good looking dude in my life.

[@eyepatchpirate7726]

Wow, smart guy!

[@bl1ss23]

he is soooo pretty!!! heart eyes evrywhere

[@jennydiaz2861]

"nerd the hell out of it" a quote i have actually said

[@vexorian]

Stephen's compliment game, damn.

[@SarAnna2195]

Ohh I hope they will keep the scene he talks about in the film!!!!

[@barbarajoseph-adam8337]

SarAnna2195 With the 20+ slaps? It'd be hi-larious, though seems kinda cruel. DILEMMA!
