He’s only 30 , but he speaks like a vampire who lived for hundreds of years 😆. I watched the second part of this video just now and noticed that .

[@marriem8]

Broadcast Neo he should play that kinda role 😂 im his comedic style 💪

[@allygurngemoeder2795]

[@rimmysingh6845]

Where is the part 2

[@sophiem8451]

Damn this man really is the sort of guy you want at your house party when it’s getting late and there’s just a few people left sitting out on the deck in the dark drinking beers talking about existential shit. He’s definitely that guy.

[@Lauren-rq4xt]

That's the best description of him

[@goldeneckconfetti]

I love it when Robert keeps saying "listeners" usually, people forget about the audience when they're talking.

[@StellaMoltoBella]

it is a crime that he is covering his beautiful eyes with those glasses.

[@Oceanlinx]

He's probably high or has a hangover or something, I find it funny.

[@PlayaP69]

Shorts would be nice, too. 😉

[@StarryMidnight]

IKRR

[@mariannepiiksi5317]

i know right 🥰😘

[@kimruppelt]

And now I am here, lying in my bed and I keep asking myself if Robert plays Klaus or if Klaus plays Robert 😫

[@Mitchis_Euphoria]

Bloodprincess I think there the same person

[@Me-pe8eb]

They are one and the same

[@scanovi]

It goes deeper than that, friend.

[@volkaytno]

the socks really give it away

[@Melissa.Garrett]

Robert acts the fool a lot, but when you get him talking about his craft he’s so extremely focused, erudite, and thoughtful. You can tell he really puts a lot of work into his roles and takes it more seriously than he lets on. That’s why his performances are always mind-blowing. Is it just me, or does the interviewer seem slightly alarmed by him at times? 😂

[@LisaKokx]

What I really like about Robert is his authenticity. In interviews he is predominantly witty and eccentric, in this podcast his answers are more thoughtful (I appreciate your style of asking questions, giving people the space they need to make it their own), but whoever he’s talking to and whatever he’s talking about, he seems to be comfortable enough to express things without an obvious filter. Now, I don’t know what he’s like in daily life, but I like to think that he’s not afraid to be himself wherever he is. And although I seem to adore his way of thinking, his sense of humor, his boldness, charisma etc., nothing is more enchanting than listening to someone and feeling like they are genuinely, unapologetically themselves. I tend to massively overthink things so you’re probably thinking “what the flying fuck is she on about”, but I wanted to say this nontheless. As someone who’s always been the odd one out (with the generosity of people’s judgments granting me embarrassingly low self-esteem and crippling social anxiety), seeing someone be that confident in their own skin, and knowing that that's the kind of person I look up to the most, gives me the power and affirmation I so desperately needed to build myself up and start living a bit more each day.

[@Panteliscomedy]

He's a gem in everyday life as well, I assure you.

[@LisaKokx]

@@Panteliscomedy I'm happy to hear that! Have a good one :)

[@SixtySecondYoga]

Lisa Kokx I loved hearing him talk about meditation, mental health, his career, his relationship etc. It’s so nice to hear him be more serious.

[@ClaireEliseLumiere]

I know exactly what you're on about, very well said :)

Totally agree

Omg

[@nothanks2984]

oh boy he would talk about the most random stuff lol

[@datmaplesyrup351]

Robert's voice is so soothing and relaxing

[@MissManicMellie]

This is the most intimate I've ever seen him; talking about his ex, his writing, failing out of school... It's so beautifully real, HE is such a real person. It feels like such an honour to see him like this

[@cho7879]

someone get this man to make a billion audiobooks I will buy every single one of them

[@theforeverfalling]

I’m seeing a lot of comments about how much more interesting this sit down is over other interviews/podcasts, and hey credit where it due, Rob is a really interesting and intelligent guy, but this kind of organic ease only comes from one thing-the interviewer. Too many people underestimate the work that goes into bringing out the best in a guest, and providing entertainment for a normal-length interview, let alone an hour+ podcast!

[@CatBrash]

oh he is beautiful

[@kimlockman9390]

Robert Sheehan could read me a CVS receipt, word for word, and I'd still listen.

[@OhmyGoldenPeach]

I would pay to witness a conversation between Robert and Jeff Goldblum sjksdjksjsk

[@camsaturn]

Peach Idiotic omg yes... the 2 most soothing voices.... my mind just imploded lol

[@Laura-sp4td]

I love that I watched this about a week ago and it had around 16k views and it now has 22k. I guess we all are watching every youtune video Robert Sheehan is in

[@brideath]

Yup!

[@jaubinr]

Yep !

[@detojshler5701]

You right, just got obsessed with him after watching TUA, I mean how can you not, look at him HE IS PRECIOUS

[@kerrypeterson554]

Accurate. YT stopped recommending videos with him in because it must have realised I’ve watched them all already.

[@rebeccahaines1375]

That's exactly what I have been doing 😂 he's a beautiful person through and through

[@o_onyx8893]

I have literally no idea what Robert is talking about half the time but I really don’t care, cause i stan a funky Irish boi

[@diab8008]

“The character that I’m playing at the moment for the Umbrella academy has similar veins to Nathan from misfits, which was a character I allegedly played.”

[@Scorpionturtle]

I would love to see Erza Miller and Robert Sheehan in the same room or film.

[@misskiddoyubari1923]

Yes please!!!!

[@Oceanlinx]

Absolutely.

[@mikadoedwards3117]

*~if that were to happen the whole solar system would collapse, they are too much for us to have~*

[@capybara809]

Idk about that anymore 😳

[@marcmcspadyen1266]

Penguinnie why not

[@kathleen7849]

He's great in Umbrella Academy. I think though, he has more to show. You know how you can sense that with some people. He seems to be a complicated mix of aloof yet passionate, goofy and maybe a little depressed. It's funny but sometimes flamboyant people are really just sensitive and shy but hide that with 'flair'. Either way, he's beautiful and one to watch.

[@SixtySecondYoga]

He seems like a tortured soul in this interview, there’s definitely more going on than the surface level, funny stuff.

[@Oceanlinx]

@@SixtySecondYoga yeah he does seem like a tortured soul.

[@jessicamerced9116]

I know this comment is 3 years old, I hesitated to reply but why not.I see much of my personality in Robert. Reading that comment I felt like I was reading about myself, and my dad. Crazy how certain people can be so eccentric, sensitive, outgoing, unique, charming, strange...yet deeply melancholic all at the same time 🤍 I used to cry and hate myself for who I am, but when I see people like Robert, I'm reminded it's okay to be different.

[@xogulxo2]

i love that he makes a point to burp into the mic - same

[@izukumidorya472]

The way he is sitting 😂😂

[@graceduden9474]

His pants give me life.. also why is he so funny?! 😍

[@Povlennebo]

he's cute, and thoughtful and funny in this interview, but I get a different vibe from him than I do in some other interviews I have seen him in. It's interesting, but I don't know why, maybe here he's more rested, or it's something else I can't determine. The tone of his voice makes it seem like he's reading from his autobiography haha. I really like his acting in the Umbrella academy.

[@Wolfswind003]

Povlennebo Maybe he‘s a little drunk...

[@uralienfriend8895]

I think he's just a little drunk lol but your so right

[@nataliecobain8208]

naah he was just high as a kite while doing this. confirmed it on twitter back then.

[@obnoxiousxleprechaun]

i would bet it's because he's steamed

[@kathleen7849]

He seems half asleep, bored or doped up in other interviews.

[@noyoureaspoon]

robert is quite the character!

[@Hedgehog4real]

awesome interview, really relaxed and authentic vibe, as opposed to all those cringy promo ones actors are made to do all the time. also, upon watching endless amount of interviews with robert over the years, i realize that his seemingly quirky funny annoying persona sometimes makes it harder to see that he is actually a very smart, eloquent, sensible and sensitive thinker.

[@andigomez1993]

I love how much he believes in himself. It’s makes you want to believe in yourself.

[@gracesucs4464]

he looks and acts so much like klaus in this, it’s refreshing for some reason

[@sockmonkeydogtoy]

oh god the hurt in his voice when talking about sofia and then going straight to joking, i feel you robert

[@cbnh239]

Roberts little giggle is what I live for

[@Friendlytaurus]

Robert is like that one weird dude you miss when he’s not around and have a low key huge crush on him lol

[@teddie7158]

i mean at least hes wearing socks

[@aly8950]

He has such a strong personality that i would be kind of scared if i met him since I'm quiet. But at the same time i really appreciate his personality because Its great he feels free to be himself. I don't know him (obviously) but i do feel he uses his humor to hide his sadness ??

[@kayleecase8382]

The natural chemistry between you two is great! It made for a great podcast! I love the conversation you two have and how it feels like I’m just listening to two friends talk. Also he is one attractive man and his personality is very attractive.

[@lujimenita]

I loved the interview. I felt truly identified with the 'loneliness and not knowing where 'one's place' is' part. Half of my stuff is at my parents' too. It really broke my heart when he said he was still digesting his break up. He's a very smart and inspiring guy. And he's hoooooooot! It's a pity we couldn't see his green like Irish prairie eyes. From Argentina with love ;)

[@volkaytno]

robert : *speaks closely into mic* me : is this ASMR heaven?

[@abigailtorres5526]

Every single time he did that it scared me 😂

Ughhhh can robert please be my bestfriend 😫😫

[@katex007]

wow, mind blown of so much he knows about the film and theatre industry and …..on a sexy note now, I absolutely love his bare chest :p

[@vinnyguerrero5067]

[@alanissweetsun918]

I would die.

[@HeyItzVeronicaHeyItzUs]

I would just simply pass away

[@lizard.4266]

Hed be confused as to why I kept passing out

[@lillyvictoriavogt]

seeing this dude be himself inspires me a lot. He makes me happy! sounds creepy

[@ratt____o]

Listened to this while working on my photography portfolio due next week and it prevented multiple mental breakdowns. Robert’s voice is so calming and the shit he says just lights up my day.

[@sadboi-hz9du]

Robert Sheehan shops in the woman's section change my mind

[@Mitchis_Euphoria]

sad. boi can’t change your mind.And I love that he does, he’s the best flamboyant straight guy ever😂

[@Pikachunicornio]

we won’t, he looks hot af in them

[@racheldion616]

23:21 when he starts taking about Sofia omg😭😭😭

[@boyzrulethawld1]

You know what it is about him, he’s that spirit, that sprightly light-footed sensitive soul that refused to be bullied. I think that’s why we cannot help but love him. He is not a man but an archetype.

[@abilavender711]

Something that I noticed which, obviously I can’t be certain of I don’t know him personally, but made me really sad was the way he switched throughout talking about his ex girlfriend. It’s something I do a lot so he got really serious and you could tell his hurt and pain and then he suddenly switches to being all happy and jokey. It’s a common coping mechanism that’s a mix of avoiding bad feelings and also a genuine personality trait. But anyway just something interesting I picked up on.

[@Butterfly01_NL]

Yes! I just want to add that I appreciate the interviewer not asking more about his ex like most people do wanting to get a scoop or clickbait

[@helenrox5357]

Yes, there is such coping mechanism, but i don't think that's what he did. He answered the question about his ex, and answered quite sincerely, so going immediately to jokes was his way of saying 'please dont ask any more questions on this topic, I don't want to go in further details'. I think it's all that was.

[@benjaminacuna8013]

He’s such a pure artist it’s so fun seeing him discuss the craft and how he views life

[@SixtySecondYoga]

1:04:30 is for the “Klave” stans. You’re welcome!

Yo finally someones from the UA cast mentioning Gerard Way!! thank you Robert!!!!

[@SixtySecondYoga]

He also mentioned Gerard in the Goodtimes interview!

[@maddalynmooney3728]

ugh his mind! as someone who works within a film crew, i love hearing actors perspective, so much respect for Robert

[@neptunejoo]

10:20 When he was 24, 2012. He played series regular in Love/Hate and comedy series Me and Mrs.Jones. After those two series finished, he didn't do TV series until 2017.

[@jiyu9277]

I think the show he was talking about hating was likely Me and Mrs Jones then because he’s said before that he’s proud of Love/Hate and that he requested to do a third series

[@salpivartivarian1615]

i'm pretty sure it's Me and Mrs Jones as well. cuz I've seen some ep's of that and his character is really plain and frankly, boring. I can see why Rob would be depressed.

[@auntchilada8635]

I love Robert so much he seems like such a funny, nice guy 😊

[@GUTZCORE]

Damn I wish I radiated such confident energy like Robert does

[@hollypollock7729]

[@fayewhispers]

The way he tells his stories / makes random sounds is so like-able and makes it more interesting to listen to it too. And I laughed so hard when he said you looked like post-Malone xD

[@itbelikethat4940]

michelle pittman where can you watch Love/Hate??

[@michellelovesanberli]

Reyna Avila if you have amazon prime, the first season is on it for free...each additional season (he’s in the first three) is only like $10.99...it’s actually REALLY good and I love seeing him acting serious...some of the actors can be hard to understand though because it was filmed in Ireland-and Littlefinger is in it too 😂

[@itbelikethat4940]

michelle pittman betttt thank you!

[@glassfoals]

that moment when you enjoy the quirky,original characters an actor plays...and then it turns out he’s Just Like That ™ privately...only even better PS Robert with his chaotic energy is simply Apollo/Dionysus incarnate and no one will change my mind

What an interesting pod cast. Love it! Could listen to Robert all day 😍

[@clarissaplaatjies]

Am I the only one who just enjoys listening to Robert Sheehan talking 😍 I also enjoyed how it was just a conversation between friends.

[@florenciacastro5598]

Ugh after hearing this one thing came to my mind: someone should definitely put Rob and Matty Healy together in a room and make them talk about life. Can you even imagine that? Great casual interview btw, not your usual shallow Hollywood stuff.

[@jillianfrances2488]

YES

[@RitwikaDatta]

I think this is the best Robert Sheehan interview I've seen and heard so far( and I've heard A LOT ). So I must say, the interviewer did a great job with this one. Rob seems genuinely honest talking about vulnerable stuff, yet rounding them up on a goofy note. And that's what I exactly love about Robert, he is not afraid to be himself infront of the public. It's a very rare quality that you won't see in a lot of celebs. And I hugely admire him for it. It's a truly inspiring quality.

[@jennet7598]

Bring him back. I need another podcast

[@kathleen7849]

I'm working and listening to this while I work and when he starts to talk about how the comedians who are starting out are pretty tragic it reminded me of a cheap circus I went to with family. It was so bad that I cried laughing. It was actually the best (worst) circus I'd ever seen. They were unintentionally funny. I loved it.

[@sharon2]

I’m literally spending my birthday watching Robert Sheehan’s videos, his mind ugh, and this was amazing, you both were. Hello from Italy 💖

[@saragillihan484]

Watching this in summer 2022. I have become a huge fan of Robert Sheehan, through The Umbrella Academy. I have been going back in his earlier acting career, watching stuff he has done. I watched The Road Within, and The Misfits. Next on my watch list is Love/Hate, Moonwalkers, Bad Samaritan, Killing Bono, Cherry Bomb and Mortal Engines, after I rewatch Mortal Instruments, City of Bones. I have also enjoyed watching a podcast with Tom Hopper, called The Earth Locker. I watched the Tutors and was really impressed with Jon Rhys-Meyers and Henry Cavill as well. I agree that Robert is coming into his own as far as getting recognized for his amazing talent. I can't wait to see him soar into the limelight just by being himself. I really wish I could see him play a key role in Shakespeare. Richard III would be amazing! Dave Chappelle is my favorite comedian. His delivery is priceless. If Robert did a stand-up special, I would absolutely watch!

[@giannafazio6324]

"you create the artifice of company by playing a radio show or a podcast" is really calling me watching this right now out

It’s honestly very refreshing to see a person being so real and so open Rob is an amazing person and I bet it’s fun to hang out with him in general because of how comfortable he is in having candid conversations. I hope I get to meet this charismatic soul one day and kudos to the host on such a good job!

[@ArealSimpsonizer]

what he said about Canada is so painful to listen to because it's true. i barely see my family because we all work all the time. the world seems gray and dull- the weather doesn't help much either... i love talking to people especially the elderly randomly on the transit cause it just brightens their day and mine. for a few minutes we both feel a connection but then everything goes back to how it way unfortunately. i love Canada but it's really dull and lonely here
