[@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

His acting in Wandavision is phenomenal

[@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.

I cried a little to his tribute for Heath

[@enea2556]

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

[@fgabrieltomas]

Paul Bettany is great guy. But his Knights Tale character was epic and his best

[@thisisnancybot]

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.

[@someoneontheinternet3090]

i like how he says it's hard to be relentlessly charming. He is basically charm personified. Edit: I can't believe how many movies of his I've seen without realizing it was him.

They gave me a bag of money, lol.

[@lyndellrobinson3611]

I love Paul Bettany! I actually wish Priest had done well enough for sequels because I loved him in that role too.

[@kamerynbrown352]

Right tho💯💯

[@beatriciasinghsimak2142]

Really like his character in "Inkheart" and "Legion ".

[@2137laura]

I've never watched Vision, but man, Dustfinger really stole my heart when I was about 13

[@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!!)

[@glambertini4709]

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

[@2137laura]

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

[@msdanascully11]

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

[@luisg5717]

The man is so humble just like Randall Park. Only actors ever would be worth meeting.

[@HannahAngel123]

He was fantastic playing Ted Kaczynski in Manhunt:Unibomber

[@diana6echo]

I was hoping to see him talk about it, because it's awesome miniseries

[@heyhollysonline]

I was going to say the same

[@iliketohearmenmoaning]

I agred

[@111-_-]

Oh god i know that ted is a criminal but i loved him because paul is palying his character 😫

[@Sara-py7yw]

His acting in The Heart Of Me was just... Heart-shattering

[@filmfan2004]

Him talking about Heath and honouring him through his words was truly heartfelt and brought a tear to my eye both of them truly amazing actors

[@pj8756]

You're an incredible actor! 🙌❤😊
