Whoever told Paul Bettany his career was over is looking at Avengers, Solo and WandaVision swallowing his words.

[@Notaweebiswear]

for real, if you contrast that episode to the age of Ultron, with Vision's birth, how calm and collected he was even when he flung himself towards Captain America. It really shows the capabilities of him as an actor, I was really taken aback by that argument scene. Very well done

Been following him since A Knight’s Tale. It’s been so satisfying to see the public embrace him so wholeheartedly in his role as The Vision.

[@daisyswaffer8799]

He’s been my favourite actor since I first saw him in Gangster Number One then in A Knight’s Tale the next year. He is phenomenal and I’m so glad WandaVision is allowing people to appreciate him as an actor now too. Honourable mentions for great roles that weren’t mentioned for Inkheart, Legion, Dogville and Priest, though my husband always cites his role as Prince William of Orange on Sharpe as his favourite (form square for cavalry!!)

I'm so glad Wimbledon is on this because he might find it awkward, but I loathe watching most rom coms and Wimbledon remains one of my favorite rewatches

[@taylorewalters]

Ninkira yes! it’s such a lovely movie.

[@Laura_Norda]

I've watched it so many times and yet I still get excited about the end and will he win or not!! It's a great film :)

[@maxinebalkisson5506]

I find it funny that he says it was hard to be so relentlessly charming because that is indeed what makes that character a total panty-dropper

[@msdanascully11]

One of the best actors around, and one of the best looking ones as well. Successful but still underrated, I believe.

[@mickiddymichael924]

Legion is my favorite movie. He was perfect for the role of Michael.

[@Laurantalasah]

"A knight's tale!" is one of those weird movies in which pretty much every character is so well done that a lot of the cast gets noticed, after watching it I realized I didn't knew half the cast and I learned their names and keep following their careers. It's a simple movie but its characters are iconic.

OMG, I absolutely adore Paul Bettany as an actor ! I wish he plays in more movies, he's amazing. And his voice... I could hear that voice for hours

I subscribe every single word, sadly youtube only lets me like your comment once :( Have you read the books?

[@enea2556]

He's such a wonderful actor and person, he deserves all the love 💕

[@marikotrue3488]

The lack of the "Grant" name aside, Paul Bettany is charming, talented and yet so real. Wonder who that producer was, the one without (PUN ALERT) any vision.

[@maxjones503]

Interesting that Bettany has remained with some of the same directors/actors throughout his career like Ron Howard and Jon Favreau​.

[@kevanbaconofficial]

What he says about in-person auditions is true for regular jobs, too: if I get an interview, I get the job because I can turn on the charm when I need to.

[@albatapia1370]

Which Hollywood producer said his career was over?! I just want to talk...

[@Farmgirl-iy9zc]

Probably a vile pos ... maybe Harvey Weinstein?

[@MrKittke]

loved his role in solo
