The guy who appeared in Girl Next Door turned out to be one of the best actors of his generation...who knew?

[@lizzybethnj617]

I thought he was hilarious in it.

[@delrey874]

That movie was my favorite movie in high school and I had the DVD.

[@FeralCreatureOfIncredibleRoses]

That was so incredibly sweet! this notion of bringing himself as a father, a husband, to cinema and being proud of it is so sweet.

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

Paul Dano is a good actor. The Fabelmans is a good movie. Hope it wins some awards. Steven Spielberg is a legend. He was crazy as Riddler.

[@trapezoidmon]

I like your matter-of-fact approach. Very economical.

[@nem0763]

Wait, Steven Spielberg played the Riddler? Sorry couldn't help myself

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

No i meant Paul Dano played the Riddler. Steven Spielberg is just a filmmaker.

[@timdietz350]

I find it ironically a bit shocking that he's such a normal down to earth guy after being in the business so long for his age and being good at playing extreme characters so well. I would be less surprised if he was actually at least somewhat aloof/awkward/weird/un-relatable in public. I imagine it'll be a trip when his kids are old enough to watch films like There Will Be Blood and be all wtf where'd that come from.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Paul Dano is the only reason I'm going to watch The Fablemans. He's such a fantastic actor.

[@rohit_boga]

I would like to say both issues of riddler year one has been exceptional so far. Paul Dano is a very good writer, and the attached artist is also very impressive

[@Arational]

My daughter is obsessed with Paul Dano.

[@usernotfound8364]

Your daughter has good taste

[@stav3239]

I'm like your daughter for real

[@CivisCaeli]

I was 8 years old and I think the screams filling the theater room bewitched my soul for life. Jurassic Park is perfect.

[@ericB3444]

Screams ha. No. it’s CORRECT to think that this bear has a VERY SMOOTH HEAD. You must be thinking, “does he use Head And Shoulders Shine Plus?” That would be incorrect. The answer is a bear TRADE secret. ... PACK YOUR BAGS AT ONCE!!!!! WHEREAS this bear needs one more ingredient to get such a SMOOTH HEAD. if you are guessing it’s a quality conditioner with TRUE PLANT EXTRACTS you are correct. TRUE STORY between THIS BEAR and my NON-bear friend ... me: ron is going at 6 mine is at 5 im also getting it free Brandon: how me: i said look its a promotion clearly oyu want to drum up business so what is everyting that they do Brandon: haircut, shoe shine, beer, nails, hot towel and brief neck massage, hand massage me: is it just a standard barber with frills - it sounds like a haircut diner jack of all trades Brandon: yeah me: my hair requires a highler level of skill. i may fire your guy midstream. Brandon: who are you getting it cut with me: same guy as ron Brandon: right and youre going to be there when we’re not that makes no sense why they’d give it to you for free me: thats not the matter i said look brandon clark is a long time guy - he has two friends maybe one comes through take your chance Brandon: that’s not right you shouldnt have said that me: i didnt really do it lol i got you Brandon: right me: i did get you Brandon: yes me: buayaayahahahaah

[@mushmouf1400]

Nobody talks about the one where Harry Potter was a dead man. FANTASTIC acting from both

[@gilly_axolotl]

swiss army man is my FAVORITE movie EVER

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

I loved Swiss Army Man. What a fantastic pairing of Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe 👏 😅 ❤😊

[@ChipCain]

What a talent he is. So humbled as well.

[@flaggerify]

He's equally adept at playing nice guys and creeps.

[@stav3239]

thanks paul for existing

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

I agree with you 💯 👍

[@nel6019]

I absolutely adore Paul dano each one of his films I’ve loved he is very underrated tho I would love to see more people talk about him he deserves it ❤

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

Paul Dano is this generations most wonderful actors. I love everything about him. He's a fantastic actor, director, writer and his role as husband and father makes him seem so proud. I can't wait to see what the future holds for him and us😊. Thank you Paul for all the joy you bring to the movie goers. I absolutely freaking love you 😍 ❤😂🎉. Congratulations on your beautiful family. I hope to see you on Broadway one day. ❤❤❤❤😊

[@oneytemple2739]

I'm with Paul Dan on getting taken out of school memories I remember I was taken out of school early for an orthodontist appointment then instead of taking me back to school my Dad said, 'What time does that Chris Farley Tommy Boy movie play?" and I looked through the newspaper to find the showtimes.

[@jrojala]

I’ve been enjoying Paul Dano’s work for decades now but I never really thought about how long that is… uffda I feel old, lol

[@delrey874]

He's such good actor.

[@stellaferguson6572]

I need him

[@egg3255]

Real.

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

I've missed him and the other Sag members and am so glad the strikes are finally over. Love you Paul Dano ❤️ 😊🎉. You brighten my day. I don't know if anyone else does this, but when I know he has a movie coming out I look ahead on the talk shows to see who has him as a guest and when I find out I look forward all day to watch him. What a sweet, beautiful person he is. ❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤😂

[@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291]

I see he is on Hot Ones today too.

[@mrblonde1264]

He was so creepy in Prisoners,great actor.

[@DebNKY]

It was hard to watch, I'm so fond of the actor himself

[@lillianward2810]

The funniest thing is when you Google Crystal the monkey one of the first things that comes up is “net worth.” That monkey does numbers! The movie’s amazing btw.

[@treborretsnom6186]

Every interview... I'm like, what monsters is he hiding... Yet seemingly a proper gentleman

[@cowboytoy05]

EXACTLY

[@gilly_axolotl]

I think acting is just a job for him, so he lives a pretty normal life outside of it

[@pumpki370]

ily Paul Dano 💜💜💜💜💜

[@kngtrdr_]

googles "paul dano" oh that guy! yeah he's solid.

[@harryp4981]

Not enough people have seen Wildlife, which Dano directed

[@jimtokheim1422]

"We're actually not" - classic.

[@roscoemuttley]

I have only seen him in dramas, dude is hilarious!

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

Swiss Army Man

[@mrmoshpotato]

Skipping school to see Jurassic Park. Of course! They had a T Rex!

[@ceno10101]

I can only imagine parenting at his house, does he ever do a character when his kids get out of line?

[@ghostcookies633]

PAUUILLLLLLLL DANOOOOOOOOOOO

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

Good one😂😅

[@blackbird5634]

*In that clip Paul looks like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew the MUPPET!!😂🤣😅

[@JonnyDIY]

Seems like a nice dude 💕👍

[@dthill96]

Crystal is my favorite animal performer of all time!!!!

[@NewMessage]

Just came here to support Crystal.

[@ericB3444]

They should change his name to Paul Dano Plus to match his iPhone 8 Plus. Let’s grow up at once.

[@stellaferguson6572]

The rizzler

[@kazza6078]

That was some great music when he came out

[@FeralCreatureOfIncredibleRoses]

ok so daddy paul dano is actually a daddy? Daddyyyyyyyyyy

[@dng2usb]

Thumbnail: "Does He Know?"

[@teresasnook7310]

If they ever remade Harold and Maude he would make a great Harold.

[@reneekad]

I love to work hard. I look forward to working in a field I studied not as something to make someone else’s point about a script or unions.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Yes, "Terrible Twos" should *not* be a thing. Mine both were "Terrible Threes." They go from learning to talk, to learning to talk back.

[@savkacurcin3138]

Subiću, sve čestitke 🤗❔👏

[@Monsoon_90]

Omg!! 🔥🥰

[@gilly_axolotl]

Hes sucj a sweetie

[@cai3886]

Someone said he looks like a wine mom 😭

[@agorgedslug]

He should play in a movie with Liam Neeson as the younger version of him.

[@JBM1428]

Please tell me Crystal is the same monkey from the hangover 2

[@peacefanz]

did they mention his character name in prisoners: alex jones.

[@reneekad]

Yeah any clip JR did got scrutinized like her purple jacket one, her mueller one, a bunch of them.

[@Tzgrey77]

? Riddle me this ?

[@reneekad]

I’m concerned about things my kid said the entire time. Idk who told her to say certain things. That’s not like my parents to do anything like coaching her. Idk who did it. Someone did.

[@ccan_max5285]

Jurassic Park was awesome. Why did the following movies progressively become awful after it?

[@aliuscairo4307]

First thumbs up bby

[@WhirlwindHeatAndFlash]

0:16 one of the worst written movie scenes ever How is this nominated for an award?

[@reneekad]

Yeah the way a bunch of people think it’s okay to joke about my child as a corpse should have concerned people sooner. They think it’s funny my embryonic fluid was leaking and think it’s funny she “fell out” of me and was premature. It’s disgusting. And I’m pretty sure there are sexual comments about her too. She’s 6.

[@creekwalker62]

He mentioned 'his partner,' is he gay?

[@nathanashley623]

Partner is pretty universally used now for serious relationships. I'm in a heterosexual relationship with my "partner".

[@laurakali6522]

His partner is Zoe Kazan. She’s in She Said.

[@creekwalker62]

@@nathanashley623 thank you for clearing that up for.💙

[@creekwalker62]

@@laurakali6522 thanks

[@victoriamcdevitt5382]

His Wife/partner is actress/writer Zoe Kazan, who happens to be the late ,great actor Eli Kazans granddaughter. Paul and Zoe did a great film together called Ruby😅 oops I forgot the name. So, no he is not gay, but what if he was? He's brilliant as far as I'm concerned, I absolutely 💯 love him.

[@kenbranaugh8251]

Who is Paul dano? Why is Seth Meyers all actors all the time? Who cares?

[@nathanashley623]

...are you new to the concept of late night talk shows?

[@paulheckbert]

except when he does writers or politicians or journalists or ...

[@scottmiller3444]

no, dont like him

[@Robertodette]

I bummed a joint off a friend to go see the movie. Smoking it in the car, the wife was ragging me out about smelling like weed when we went into the theatre (she doesn't burn). Some guy walking by on the sidewalk heard her and started to laugh.

[@bobvancevance701]

like the chris pratt one?

[@Indomitable_Alykat]

Kind of obsessed with this outfit tbh
