Paul Giamatti & Michael Sheen Have a Fight Hard to Understand -

After Paul Giamatti talks about his portrayal of Chuck Rhoades in Billions, which included a dive into the S&M world and a passionate rant in Italian, a language he does not speak, James challenges Paul and Michael Sheen to have an argument in languages neither of them speak, and things escalate quickly. And Reggie has a question for Paul and Michael.

The fact that Michael was genuinely just saying portions of "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" gives me so much joy.

[@mikazvis6231]

“GOCHGOCHGOCH” touching words from Michael Sheen everyone

[@einat1622]

It's the ending of a known long 23 letters town (changed it's name into that-for sake of tourism). I think it means 'red-red'

[@Twirlyhead]

gogogoch

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

It's actually "-gogogoch" meaning "red cave", from the town name Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (second-longest in the world). He also says "Llanfair PG" at one point, which is a common short-form way of saying the town name.

[@rushjl92]

Lol

[@hd-xc2lz]

Except Giamatti plays characters with a calm demeanor but on the verge of rage, and Dreyfus' characters are 95% manic with no end in sight. Look similar today, but mood-wise on opposite ends of the spectrum.

[@RedDeathShinigami]

That was exactly my thought!!! XD

[@diannetalmadge1578]

They're actually really good friends, and Dreyfuss is a huge Civil war buff, but he met Paul and said I know nothing compared to him, High praise

Considering other things he did- I DON'T THINK SO 😂

[@bexthalia1761]

Actually, he got kinda upset when people talked negatively of the Twilight saga, or at least that's what he told in the podcast with David Tennant.

[@einat1622]

@@bexthalia1761 He was being a gentleman, also it was a big 'young people' franchise - rarely will you hear actors talking badly on past projects as it might hurt theirs future employment. He was playing a silly, crazy, baddie- wigs & red contact lenses, must have fun & less 'serious acting'.

[@bexthalia1761]

@@einat1622 I think he wasn't being just ''a gentleman'' honestly, if you go and listen to the podcast he sounds really sincere and he says that he included Neil Gaiman when answering the bad questions about Twilight to make a point on how we shouldn't discriminate (and that's how they became friends lol). I'm not a fan of that franchise tbh, but he was right in what he was saying. And to assume he intended otherwise, I mean, we don't know him lol

[@einat1622]

@@bexthalia1761 Or maybe thats good acting right there :-) I think it sounded like that because he found the 'truth angle' in that story- he enjoyed playing this crazy character with those outfits thathe wasn't talking about the franchise.

[@alexflook8243]

Maybe it's just me but there's a difference in American actor's on talk shows here in the UK . They seam more chattier and relaxed or do we get them Drunk.

[@Maximillionaire666]

Probably both

[@johnnunns1136]

Graham Norton certainly gives them a drink

[@attelid]

It because British talk show hosts (for the most part)’actually let their guests speak and aren’t threatened by them getting big laughs. So many of the US hosts have to always be the funniest. I saw an episode of Kimmel with Emilia Clarke and he was so focused on trying to be funny he missed something she said that got a HUgE audience reaction (final season of episode 5 was better than 3, after 3 had aired). He literally said “what did you say?” Which basically admitted he wasn’t listening to her. So annoying. Another thing Brit shows do is allow all guests out together and then things like this can happen. It’s amazing to see the chemistry that can happen between actors spontaneously. The last American host to do that was Carson. He was also a host who enjoyed his guests and got as much of a laugh from them as the crowd did. That’s is why I love Graham Norton. He encourages his guests to tell crazy stories and then laughs uproariously at them.

[@Misteryowl]

Actors. drunk.

[@jamesgirl208]

I have noticed that. You guys tend to have them more at ease and there are usually more to a couch so there's more interaction ... plus alcohol

[@gus.smedstad]

I did the “have a conversation in an imaginary language” exercise as part of auditioning for a part in college. It’s not actually that hard to do. And kind of fun, actually.

Michael Sheen doesn't speak Welsh? I thought he did...

[@colehodgman9248]

A lot of Welsh people cant speak Welsh it's a dying language:(

[@einat1622]

@@colehodgman9248 Actually, the number of people speaking it (whatever level, 1st or 2nd language) has been on the rise that last 20 years. It's far from dying, since you have native 1st speakers. Irish & Scottish are in a worse condition I think. Also, when a Welsh person say 'I don't speak' it might not be a clear case: as the schools teaches you the language, and then stops- so if they don't use it- they forget. For someone like that to go back & learn as an adult is easier to be fluent in under a year (Michael might at the casp, in terms of age, when the welsh goverment started this schools reform).

I love how Paul describes being tied up...the feeling of comfort he got...that's called sub space ( as in submissive)...and it's what the experience is striving to be for some people. Also after the ropes are removed people can expect a feeling of a let down called sub drop...and it can be very emotional and that's why its important to be with someone you trust and who knows what they're doing, not to mention the safety of useing rope in a play type setting...so please people educate yourself first before doing any thing with ropes.
