“She’s Great On A Boat” - Elizabeth Debicki On The Secret To Her Acting Success

[@windsor2548]

she is the best portrayal of Princess Diana I’ve ever seen in every movie and series.

[@unanoche]

Hear hear

[@-venusx]

ikr

[@demacto13]

I definitely want the unedited version of this interview. I could hear her speak and tell stories for hours, she's so captivating!

[@tinagemcgee6190]

Extremely!!!

[@garrettjacobson6846]

I saw this taping live on 11/15. It didn't make the final cut for that night's episode, but I'm glad that it still got to air! Elizabeth has a great interview charisma. And not really anything got cut out. Jon Stewart, who was slated for 10 minutes, was interacting with Stephen for an hour - and LOTS of hilarious moments didn't make the episode cut. I'm not criticizing or injecting any opinion, just stating facts as someone who witnessed this live.

[@Blackzxx.82]

I can listen to her all the time. Such a relaxing voice xd

[@karenling2106]

so this is your first time

[@Blackzxx.82]

@@karenling2106 no its not ;)

[@BLTKellys]

She did Diana justice. She should be very proud of that performance because it honours her.

[@lionking0110]

Is it just me or does anyone else also think that she’s still in character. Her mannerisms throughout the interview felt so much like Princess Diana. And I thought that she didn’t have Australian accent here. So fascinating.

[@carmen1144]

I thought the same thing, it’s incredible.

[@jurinaissance]

she's still shooting s6 so maybe she still has not gotten diana out of her system lol

[@KenrickLeiba]

I’m Australian and I had no idea she was until half way through the interview when I read this comment. I could catch a couple of word where she slipped into her Australian accent but I only caught it because I knew.

[@franzbartolome6201]

Yes, she is still in character. Her Australian is more deeper in her previous interviews before The Crown and she was switching and slipping through Australian-English accent which is understandable. She also does the pauses like Princess Di and how she moves. Amazing character channeling. 4:10 that's definitely Princess Di

[@j.brown70]

Yes I saw that a couple of times. It’s her eyes and that shy upward looking doe eye look. 👀😊

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

In terms of stature and presence, she does Diana better than the other actresses I've seen so far.

[@windsor2548]

I couldn’t agree more

[@jpm6662]

Totally agree. Sometimes you think it's the real one. Stunning performance.

[@rahuljacobgeorge573]

Emma wasn’t bad either .she matched her in terms of demeanour perfectly

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

In terms of stature and presence this woman causes excitement in my brain that is hard to comprehend.

[@nicholasguthrie2946]

I totally agree chris.

[@aristotlethedecent6675]

So her second job was with Leonardo DiCaprio and her third job was with Cate Blanchett. That's certainly a way to start a career.

[@lillithdv8]

She also was the baddie against Henry Cavill in Man from Uncle… girl is awesome

[@Area-lr1mz]

I think she was also in tenet

[@Neojhun]

@@Area-lr1mz She played an important character in Tenet.

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

The Cavill Hammer flick is also where I saw her first. Underrated film I think.

Omg she is doing the Diana eyes on and off throughout the interview .. 😨 she was sooo good in crown ❤️ uncanny!

right?!? 🥵

[@DjinnRummy]

Dude. I’m still watching it now and I’m blown away

[@pedallove7058]

She nailed her voice. Amazing!

[@productdesign9626]

As did the actors for Charles and the Queen. I'm not familiar enough with the other charcters to comment. Actually, Thatcher and Blair were very good too

[@BatmanHQYT]

Elizabeth is absolutely captivating, I've loved her ever since The Night Manager. She still seems like she's in Diana mode in this interview, it's great.

[@UHFStation1]

She is stunning as Princess Diana whom I regret didn't know much about until after her untimely passing. Her portrayal makes me miss her.

[@janetbeebe6578]

I thank goodness that the world has not forgotten Diana.

[@Spenelo]

Was hoping she'd be wearing heels so she can tower over everyone. She's so awesome!

[@nicholassmith7984]

Like in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, where they deliberately put her in platform shoes to do that.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

She was trying not to make Stephen feel small. She's considerate that way.

[@jenlambie14]

At 6'3" her chances of a part in Mission Impossible 😢

[@Spenelo]

@@jenlambie14 yikes, imagine the platforms Thomas whould have to wear, lmao.

She already does without the heels ;)

So that’s where i’ve seen her face before….. thanks for that

[@itsflowerside]

me too, i watched it three times all the way through

she is absolutely stunning and so very talented It was like watching Princess Di in person

[@techbear82]

...she nailed that stare! Well-deserved Emmy for her.

[@RandMontauk]

She was such a powerhouse in tenet I hope she has a long career!

[@zyzzyvacation]

2:50 The movement coach - Polly Bennett - she mentions, was also responsible for coaching Rami Malek as Queen's Freddy Mercury for his Oscar-winning role in "Bohemian Rhapsody". So, who knows, maybe Elizabeth will win an Emmy for her royal portrayal with this series.🙏

[@quasinfinity]

So soft spoken, for such an in your face role. I almost feel bad knowing what's going to happen in the final season, but she's going to kill it, in more ways than one.

[@makon89]

I first saw her in The Great Gatsby and was completely captivated by her beauty.

[@DjinnRummy]

I first saw her in the night manager and couldn’t take my eyes off her

[@IknowMoreThanYou]

I first saw her in this interview and you lads are creepy and weird

[@a.e.jabbour5003]

Yeah, first time I saw her too, in "Gatsby." She really made an impression. I've enjoyed her career a great deal since. That's for sure.

[@Illjwamh]

"I've sort of cornered the market for sad people on boats." 😆

[@silent_javalier5170]

Nice to know Elizabeth knows her brand😂😂

[@em8066]

@CWS and TKP 66-02 I thought that was her!

[@jurinaissance]

@CWS and TKP 66-02 lmao 😭

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

@CWS and TKP 66-02 Was she in the man from UNCLE? (After consulting IMDB) Of course she was. God, that’s so different from her other characters that I didn’t recognise her. And somehow that still falls into “sad people on boat”, though I guess there’s more anger than sadness in this instance.

[@suvigyabasnotra7378]

She's a Goddess walking among us!

[@gaben1730]

What a simp

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

She does have a certain "ethereal" quality about her. She could've played an elf in a Lord of the Rings production.

[@sharongallagher274]

Would’ve loved an extended interview, absolutely fascinating and …lovely! 🤯💖

[@peepindis]

Have a look around KZbin. She's done a lot of press for the Crown. She's a great interviewee. Very thoughtful.

[@lemonielala3080]

My 11yo is obsessed with the short hair Elizabeth had in the Night Manager (And I am obsessed with Elizabeth's performance in that role) because she looks so beautiful and proud and brave with her pixie cut. So my daughter showed our hairdresser about a thousand photos from that series and got her hair cut exactly the same and she ROCKS IT! I'm telling you that little girl grew about two feet bc she was standing so tall when we went home! Thank you for giving her the courage to be different from all the other girls! 💪❤️

[@bigdaddyluisito]

She's just so beautiful ❤️ love her Diana so much better than other actresses

[@paskowitz]

She's 100% still in character. Also, I find her awkwardness endearing. Despite her success she isn't taking herself too seriously. Also, being 6'3", a 6'3" partner would be a dream. /simprant

[@minigiant8998]

ok keep it in ur pan+s, kthx

[@soso-ws8oo]

So rare to see that tall of an actress, love it!!

[@HRC294]

People who have not seen The Great Gatsby, Night Manager, Tenet and The Crown, she is the golden queen from Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@emisilver]

beautiful and talented

[@cora_hm]

I love her! I first saw her in Gatsby. Her skin is gorgeous. Elizabeth debicki as princess diana is everything. This is her time to shine. But I feel bad for her bc of the shitty writing of this season she isn't getting the praise she deserves. Hope she gets awards tho. My second favourite Aussie beauty next to Cate.

[@oldsesalt8496]

Never heard of her, but I think I'm in love.

[@BLTKellys]

She’s wonderful in the new season of The Crown. She really channels Princess Diana.

[@christianviiperi]

She is so alluring. ❤

[@paulkirkland3263]

Her English accent when playing Virginia Woolf was extraordinary. I haven't heard anything like it since my grandmother passed away. A very fine actress.

[@TS.......]

She is wearing like the thinnest flats to avoid towering over people. 6'3 is a great height

[@Mjr.Nuke-Hazard_089]

For an average female height scale YES its very very tall for her, and don't forget that British actress Gwendolyn Christie also stands 6'.3".

[@onidoremc9490]

Its extraordinary height for women and uncommon for NON celebrity people

[@courtney5796]

I dont watch the Crown yet, but she is like a breath of fresh air. Or like that apple-cinnamon candle ......

[@Lu_82]

Finally her moment 🤩

[@karenkranz2682]

She looks like she’s still in character.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

I've seen a few of her interviews, and she's generally been composed like this. It's probably a psychological effect of tall girls not trying to take up more space and attention than they already do with their heights. I had a cousin who was like that. Gwendoline Christie is different though. She's bombastic and vivacious.

[@TalesofaHobbyHopper]

I first saw her in Man From UNCLE. Such an amazing film and she was absolutely gorgeous. She did the soft-spoken, calm villain so well. And she was sad on a boat there too. But only for about a half a second :D

[@rrrusty49]

There is no comparison to Stephen fanboying over a lovely and awesomely talented Aussie actress (who plays The People's Princess, The English Rose). She is worthy, and that's why I love him.

[@nirmalsuki]

[@johnknight9150]

I've seen The Night Manager multiple times and I didn't even realise it was her until I read a review of the latest series of The Crown. Which is probably about the highest praise you can give an actor.

[@KarenKrieger-go5ru]

She's amazing that way. She disappears into her characters.

[@bhaveshdubey4488]

OMG she is drop dead gorgeous 😍 When u are too obssesd with Margot Robbie, sometimes u don't notice 😂😂

[@TalonsOfFire]

She's a great actress and picks cool projects. Australian celebrities/actors seem particularly down-to-earth and likable. I lived there for a number of months and it was amazing. It's also funny how she played basically the same character in Tenet and Night Manager, the abused wife of a wealthy arms dealer who is liberated with the help of the undercover main character.

[@Badonicus]

Thats a very nice lady. Very classy

[@LayllasLocker]

Look at these beautiful flats. ♥ Amazing actress! ♥

[@aitornavarro6597]

The Night Manager is so good, I wish they would have made more seasons

[@Jemppu]

Ha. So great to see the similarity in Debicki's roles acknowledged. Had fun with that thought back when they announced the Diana role.

[@happytime2781]

5:30 that incredible... I didn't know here at all till watching some Guardians 3 interview. No joking my 1st thought after listen and watching her was - she's like younger Cate Blanchet and here we go ! 0_o Elisabeth got these kind of magnetism, elegant, charm, manner and lovely soft spoken language as Kate (+ for sure some other things I found hard to describe)

[@reimondvincent]

SHE"S GORGEOUS

[@dfghdfghuytiu8207]

She’s like a cross between Di and Uma Thurman.

[@arcanondrum6543]

"She's great on a Boat" without mentioning "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." ? Wow, Hammer's stock had dropped. Her Jordan Baker made me forget any crush I'd had on Carrie Mulligan. THAT movie was a home run by the way. I believe I was overheard by Colin Hanks (yes, son of Tom) when I mentioned a small market Disc Jockey who played THE BEST music from that era. A remaster of the Soundtrack would quite literally make that movie timeless.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Even if you weren't a "Star" Colbert would make you think you were.

[@Mia7189]

She is so good in THE CROWN.

[@hadbetterdays]

... And that small independent Australian film she did (A Few Best Men) was with Olivia Newton John!

[@daryl772003]

She's excellent as Virginia Woolf in vita and Virginia

It´s not only the boat... her character in Tenet was almost exactly like the one in "The Night Manager" (married to an arms dealer interpreted by an English actor, and afraid for her son). Well, you could say that Diana was married to an English arms dealer and that she was afraid they would take her sons from her.
