I love him.

[@TheHazelHayes]

Sammy Paul I love him too.

[@kartikjain7105]

I am waiting for your end of the year list.

[@littlebigman45]

Simple as that, love this guy to bits

[@nickparkinson4550]

His comment about synthesis being the only path left is so fantastic.

[@margaret__todd]

I love him sooo much! I also love how both him and Taika had the same advice "follow your gut, if you don't like where you are, change the direction". That applies on so many levels!!

[@singwhenhappy]

Also, Guillermo del Toro is probably the most eloquent person I have ever heard talk. The way he can explain his thought process is out of this world!

[@systemofafox6487]

Abbey Suyker his vocabulary and use of language is better than most native English speakers

[@tank__girl6404]

And English isn’t even his mother tongue!!! Genius 😻😻

[@Steffs]

“The limit of your language is the limit of your universe.” I found that insightful and inspiring. What a wonderful interview!

[@evamcdermott2248]

This is so comfortable and insightful. Hazel, your ability to get people to open up, and to explore the unexplored always amazes me. Please never stop what you are doing

[@misskitkat1231]

Eva McDermott suck up just cos you want her to give you saoirse

[@evamcdermott2248]

sworsay? never heard of her. the one from that female bug film?

[@actualbeau]

Alcohol does that

[@edrage8679]

its name is Alcohol and thats it

[@ikuep]

You're giving her more credit to than Guillermo, who always delves into unexplored territory and mind-blowing analyses of different topics.

[@alejandragabriella6427]

HE'S SO SMART, I feel so happy of being Mexican. There's so much talent and heart in my country and he's proof!

[@Iman131096]

More than anything, these tipsy talks leave me so excited to watch Hazel reach the success of all of these wonderful directors and writers she admires. Her passion comes through so apparently and I cannot wait for the whole world to see it ❤

[@GrainneMhaol]

God, he's so articulate, clever and wise. What an artist.

[@nohelytalavera9320]

Guillermo del Toro is such a lovely man! He's also very kind to his fans.

[@Titoichi1986]

I literally squealed when I saw the notification He's one of my heroes I'm in the middle of being proud of you and being extremely jealous

[@SuperNutmeg17]

saaaame

[@JustNierninwa]

"Every story has been told, the only artistic act we have left is synthesis" YES. I've thought that for SO long. I'm glad he thinks that too

[@mayaln8740]

i'm always blown away by how articulate you are and how passionate you are talking about art, and so is he, which made this beautiful

[@imaginationlord]

You get such good guests!

[@AlejandraSaberhagenLife]

Se limpia su mano en su panza para darle la mano a Hazel 🤣💜💜💜💜 lo amo es adorable y beillante

[@superamishguy]

"so long suckers!" what a cool guy

[@AnimeVampireChic]

I'm a 22yo lesbian but after this I think I have a crush on Guillermo del Toro

[@j.arielbonilla]

Jo Caito I'm man and I have a crush on guillermo del toro also! But is no about his fisic, is about his mind and the way he talks and thinks

[@flavio136]

I’m gay and I’m in love with him. Clever, decent, humane, soft, utterly delightful as a person

[@Cardsmaster]

I would Mary him idc what anyone says.

[@timtheguy2179]

Hollywood News what’re you talking about? That is one hot ass man right there

[@allybuchanan6724]

I don't usually comment, but this was absolutely fantastic. Definitely my favourite Tipsy Talk yet. Hazel, you are so wonderfully articulate, and he is such an intelligent man that the conversation is quotable. It's absolutely inspirational for filmmakers and artists in general, which is a quality that I keep seeing in your videos. Thank you.

[@TheHazelHayes]

Ally Buchanan Thank you so much x

[@MrBoko1234]

I love this big adorable man

[@fl0tingbean632]

MrBoko1234 I love your profile pic

[@Mary-eo7ir]

I saw shape of water in the theatre it was filmed, it was so amazing!

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

verifiedmartian Where’s that?

[@Mary-eo7ir]

Jake MacDonagh the Elgin Theatre, during tiff.

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

verifiedmartian Awesome

[@youmeandi100]

Was there too! Toronto, yes? :+)

[@TehLemonsRUs]

Good movie and some scenes are awesome like the car buying scene

[@ambitiousemily2665]

I AM SHOOK. YAS HAZEL. SO EXCITED FOR THIS

[@evekavanagh]

tbt to when he called a very disturbed person back in 2014 when you were still a baby film-maker. Be proud of how far you've come Hazel, it's been a pleasure to witness

[@bridgelikesbooks]

I kept noticing you looking off camera at what I assume was someone giving you a time warning and i kept wanting to jump in the screen and tell that person, NO DON'T YOU DARE STOP HER THIS IS WONDERFUL SHE'S DOING WONDERFULLY!

[@TheHazelHayes]

Bridget Raymundo Yeah they went slightly overboard in reminding me on this one.

[@DianaEstrellaB]

I love Tipsy Talk turning into "Hazel Hayes gets one on one master classes about film making"

[@georgiam4725]

Also I can't stop staring at his glass. It looks comically small in his hands

[@clarahowson2911]

+

[@madhatt3r93]

Absolute bear of a man 🐻

[@kingmejam]

I saw him speak after Shape of Water premiered at TIFF, and I was blown away by his words and his reflection on the state of affairs and this movie's place in it. I'm so glad that this ^ happened so I could hear him talk about it again!!!

[@Christian-ir2mb]

Doesn't matter how many interviews I watch, tipsy talk is the very best. I love him, he's so wonderful, and I need one of those t-shirts

[@TheHazelHayes]

matthew I’d fully wear one.

[@Christian-ir2mb]

Hazel Hayes absolutely!

[@firewordsparkler]

This is my favorite Tipsy Talk. I love that you got to really go into the inspirations behind the movie and what influenced the aspects that made it not-quite horror. It was just so in-depth and I loved it.

[@TheatreofSymphony]

Del Toro must be one of the sweetest men on the planet. Very kind!

[@adelecaroline3614]

I could listen to this man talk all day. I think what I like is that you let people talk. So many interviews are kind of, inane? Like, I love watching people light up when they start talking about their passions and you allow whoever you're interviewing to do that.

[@elle-xe2nf]

Thought it'd be Saoirse Ronan next but this video didn't disappoint!

[@hayleyannamathieson7261]

I adore this wonderful man.🤗

[@stayunique1]

Guillermo says some very wise things during this interview. He is a director that we need right now in this world

[@psquared015]

This is maybe my favorite interview of anyone I've ever seen. A testament to both Hazel and del Toro, to be sure, but man del Toro absolutely blew my mine. He is an actual genius, it's easy to overlook him because his medium is film and that often doesn't command the same respect as science or other visual art forms but his intelligence is a little awe inspiring. His command of language too is incredible, it's hard enough to be bilingual but to be that articulate in your second language... Stunning.

[@rainer_uncrowned]

Been following Del Toro since my childhood with Hellboy, and now he's made everyone proud with a best picture. Amazing director. In a sea of pretentious directors- he's one of the few badass old fashioned guys.

[@Sneha-Anatra]

This series started out as good ol’ fun with mates and now I’m learning some great advice from great people in this world whilst watching Hazel’s dream light up, truly wonderful scenes 🌟

[@pepperlandlaidwaste]

Guillermo is from my hometown, it's so inspiring to hear him talk about his work and how he sees the world!

[@mrrd4444]

Every time Guillermo del Toro opens his mouth, wisdom and masterpiece comes out

[@FakeRedHeadABrunette]

I know nothing of Guillermo Del Toro, or of his movies, but just the way he talks and his message is so wholesome. Now I want to consume all his art. He is amazing.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Hi, question from the future. Did you look up some of his stuff?

[@renlish]

One of your top interviews. Such good work! And so true in what he say; the broader your own horizons, the better your own work.

[@linaroca1906]

"I'm a profoundly imperfect motherfucker" Yes, we all are the same... And the world could start to get way better by acknowledging this.

[@catherinehorowitz3930]

i love him! i love him! i love him!

[@SketchedSquidit]

A favourite film maker interviewing another favourite film maker. One of the best videos Ive seen in a while

[@dreamylittlethings]

I had never realised what a wonderful human he is. So glad you made this.

[@michellecz9308]

I love Guillermo del Toro's work so much and I love his passion behind all of his movies. Hazel, you are such a great presenter and interviewer. I really enjoyed this. The questions were really great. Haven't watched the movie yet, but I am sooo excited to see it soon.

[@Realeleathor]

hes such a wonderful speaker and explains things so well and you converse in such a dynamic way as an artist that i would watch an hour interview of you and him

[@andrewharris1391]

My God this is one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen

[@bagofworms7625]

I'm stressed because I have a lot of studying for tomorrow but this was so enjoyable to watch

[@pitaariel1920]

The way he suddenly eat the snacks! XD He is adorable :3

[@GiantMec]

I love Deltoro’s work - I think he has the most uncanny imagination - I always walk away feeling an emotional connection to the world he’s presented on film

[@sugarpack]

i have to admit (with quite a bit of shame) that i'd never seen an interview with del toro before but this has surprised me so much in all the best ways! it's quite wonderful to see the both of you equally engaged in the conversation. a plesure to watch. good job hazel!

[@vagary4665]

What a smart and delightful guy!

[@MurphysSlaw992]

Is there a six hour uncut interview I can see? Please?

[@TheHazelHayes]

Nathan Kidd I wish.

[@JudithARobinson]

What a lovely, lovely man!! I could have listened to him talk for hours. The world could do with more people like him :-)

[@gracemarshxx]

OMG! Estoy estudiando su película (‘El Laberinto del Fauno’ o ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ en inglés) a mi colegio por A Level y ¡me encanta! Quiero ver ‘The Shape of Water’ ahora mismo 😆 Del Torro es muy, muy interesante, inteligente y creativo, y ¡debería sentir muy orgullosa Hazel! (Sorry if my Spanish is bad - no soy un hablante nativa jajaja)

[@claudiayanezhenriquez4303]

Grace Marsh Tu español es muy bueno 😌 You are doing amazing! I'm studying to become an English teacher

[@SilverLakeify]

Grace Marsh your Spanish is great!!!

[@Pipeerooo]

Estoy estudiando El Laberinto Del Fauno tambien y lo amo! Necesitas ver La Forma De Agua ahora mismo! Estoy segura que te encantará

[@vaguehorizons]

Oh my god! this is my favourite one so far. I love Guillermo del Toro and I could listen to you two talk forever.

[@katyohanlon2465]

Oh my god I'm studying Pan's Labyrinth right now, this guy is an actual cinematic genius and I also love Hazel and AGH

[@ksongbird]

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely adored it, and I was hoping you would post some sort of content about it, as I always appreciate your insight on films. So of course I was beyond excited to see you post this!

[@mcmoose64]

Watching you guys jamming on the same wavelength was an absolute joy . Thankyou .

[@singwhenhappy]

It's so obvious that you guys hit it off! Completely on the same wavelength! Such a cool bond to watch. 💙

[@SpringerA1984]

He is one of the most priceless people ever created.

[@Oracol]

"So long, suckers" 😂. Love GDT! Great interview!

[@miacalder5970]

What a great interview! I could listen to him speak forever

[@pcapusso]

you're an amazing interviewer. you get the best guests and get the most out of them.

[@sunnieworms]

can't get over him just scranning whatever it is in the tiny bowl. just,, iconic

[@aryesavalos8287]

Oh my god I adored this. As a creative, a Mexican, film lover, a woman, and a human being, seeing Hazel- someone who I admire as a film maker- interview Guillermo del Toro is so exciting. I have admired his films ever since I saw Pan's Labyrinth. It was the first film that let me know that even as a minority I can do great and beautiful things and be recognized for them. He is such an inspiration to me. I could watch their conversations for hours and I honestly wish this was longer but I love it none the less.

[@BinaBianca]

I love Tipsy Talk and you are an amazing host, Hazel! I love your honest questions and the way you listen to your guests. This is what an amazing interview should look like

[@glrose3787]

That was cozy and at the same time informative and educational. He is currently my biggest inspiration and like a mentor for me. what a great interview!!!

[@nolvenn7620]

This is great.. as an aspiring filmmaker I just love hearing directors talk to each other about their work, it's just great

[@quaderac]

you're such a wonderfully comfortable and articulate interviewer, and that makes these so so lovely to watch. i especially love it when you interview filmmakers, because it always comes through incredibly insightful. thank you for this! i love listening.

[@MexlycanFilmico]

"I'm an imperfect Mother Fucker"Which other director says that with style and class?

[@TalonsOfFire]

He's so smart, decent, and charismatic, great to listen to. Easily one of the most genuine big filmmakers in Hollywood! Love how much he sees the beauty and sublime in monsters, creatures, horror overall.

[@huedaisufaj4720]

God, I love him so much. He never fails to put a smile on my face. ♥ This series is growing so strong. Well done Hazel 👍

[@melaniekozak1220]

This was fabulous-I, too, wished it could have continued on and on...thank you, Ms. Hayes and Mr. del Toro!

[@renplatts]

What a lovely, lovely man. Absolutely adored the film!

[@betul6350]

hes just absolutely amazing

[@allyson9188]

Dare I say, the best Tipsy Talk yet. This is an incredible, in-depth interview! I really appreciate that it wasn't strictly about The Shape of Water (especially since I have yet to see it and was worried about spoilers), and instead focused more generally Guillermo's filmmaking process. What great insight.

[@thescreengeekdiaries]

Two beautifully eloquent and intelligent people having a wonderful discussion about film making, horror and cinema. Thoughtful, insightful and really interesting to watch. Hazel, I've always been a fan of your work, especially Tipsy Talk, and it has been fantastic to watch you grow and get the opportunity to interview people like Guillermo del Toro. Very much looking forward to seeing where you go and who you get to interview in the future!

[@prettyaverage97]

Might be my favourite director. What a lovely, lovely man

[@littlemissoptimism]

I think this is my favourite interview you’ve done, he’s so insightful but also just seems warm and happy to be there.

[@missymarmitey]

This was absolutely wonderful, thank you.

[@louise4029]

He's so well spoken I'm captivated

[@sonmihae-joo6286]

Fascinating discussion, that was wonderful to watch, thank you ! :D

[@courtneymanning8770]

HAZEL. YES.

[@swanhaven92]

I love your interviews. You get to meet smart and creative people and actually have intelligent and thought provoking conversation with them. Thank you for that

[@Steppeponytail]

A great little interview/chat and that ‘So Long Suckers!’ at the end just cracked me up!

[@slowdancers]

god i love guillermo del toro

[@kialafiction]

I absolutely adore this man. Congrats Hazel

[@MLM6175]

I love how your questions are so intelligent and yet so casual. You inspire me , hazel.

[@b-ridge1589]

Wow so inspiring! And what a lovely guy. 😊

[@fearsomefivefilms]

This is my favorite so far. Thank you, Hazel.

[@RaeRam14]

I could have listened to you talk with him about film, genre, and everything else forever!! Great job. I adore him as a director and I’m excited to see where you go next Hazel!

[@marloessss]

Big love for this interview. Absolutely love this.

[@sawyererickson3424]

I'm honestly shook as hell right now. This is an amazing video, and I really really appreciate how well you're able to get others to speak the truth, Hazel

[@illuminatiCorgi]

I fucking love Guillermo Del Toro -_-

[@hannahormrod-gaffney9505]

You have such a wonderful way of interviewing people, I feel like you really captivate the passion that everyone one in the room has for film!

[@CaitlynSofia]

GODDAMM I love Guillermo del toro. Studying and comparing el orfanato and el laberinto del fauno was the best part of my high school career and I'd love to study more of his films. I'm so excited for the shape of water. Great interview hazel! These videos always seem comfortable and unrushed and you always ask the questions I want to know the answers to. Also I'm very jealous of this meeting but congratulations, this is awesome.

[@hannaha8011]

He’s such a king I can’t evenn 😭💕

[@grace5439]

This is one of my favorite tipsy talks you've ever done. such an amazing and intellectual conversation.

[@zindoe]

This man gives me life
