Tobias Menzies, The Crown, Outlander star's terrible etiquette, emotional men, no eyebrows + his cat

[@KP-zd3hc]

When I watched Tobias’ performance, I wasn’t thinking of Matt’s acting. Not even Tobias’ acting. I though of Philip simply growing older. That’s how good his performance was... what an amazing casting...

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

Yeah they were going to cast older but I think they made the right choice

[@websurfin2010]

Yea, he’s amazing. He captured all the mannerisms of Prince Phillip. Totally different performance than Edmure Tully in GoT.

[@TVDization]

Tobias is on of the best actors I have seen on screen

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

New #thecrown is going to be great

Huge fan of Tobias Menzies, perfect as Prince Phillip. He was tour de force in Outlander, just amazing actor ...want to see much more.

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

AND a delightful interviewee ;) he was awesome in the chat

[@RG0804]

Tobias is wonderful in whatever characters he’s portraying. He managed to make Prince Phillip human! The Prince has always come across strange! Tobias is a master at his craft!

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

agree. he added empathy - right? Thanks Rosalynn

[@mariawilliams9129]

Tobias did a spectacular job playing Prince Phillip !!!!

[@eon7125]

I think Tobias is actually a advanced soul....lucky person who gets into his heart. 🌺

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

he never talks about his private life so was glad to get the part about the kitchen!

[@lithiumeve]

ah love this guy!So underrated!

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

he does work a lot though

Massssssive fan of Tobias Menzies... Seems as though there are no roles he can't do justice to! I'd die happy if I could ever meet him🙄 and yes I know that won't happen 🙈

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

He is one of the good guys. Really down to earth, a little shy but when he laughs he's - well, you saw it. Glad you enjoyed the interview.

[@bente1005]

I can’t stop looking at his eyebrows when watching The Crown. I swear he dyed them. Grr

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

Not HIM. The make up people had to age him. He is younger and the choice was to go older and make him look young, but they chose Tobias and he has to undergo the make up process. They all do. Wait until you see the video I did with Olivia. She just simply refused to answer the question. I take my hat off to him for all the different roles and the total openness and fun he met me with. I did a set visit in London which is how I know about the eyebrows. And my piece is - I think - gonna run in the Sunday times this week end. People have to understand that actors are portraying roles and change themselves accordingly. I hope you won't take offense and understand it is just part of the regular acting process to inhabit another person;) (PS - hope this answers any questions and THX so much for watching!)

[@bente1005]

Margaret Gardiner oh yes of course, i understand! I’m not bothered by it or anything, it was just something that i kept thinking of when watching. I love him as an actor too.Thank you for the reply though! And for the great interview

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

@@bente1005 Phew - good - smiles - I didn't want to introduce something you know. It was just cos we saw him in costume and then on a break that I noticed the eyebrows on that occasion

O Rick, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! For me it was light and funny and I hope people read it that way too. I appreciate the comment

[@mocat1]

Lol, my grandmother would do those reverse questions, at meals. Apparently no one replied in the way Tobias mentioned. We’d just automatically passed whatever it was, her way.

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

glad you got the humor - your grandma sounds amazing

Wonderful actor!

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

you are gonna love him in The Crown

[@RG0804]

I don’t know maybe the lack of empathy comes from so many generations of living in a bubble! They come out like OC/ speaking as The Queen, she never cried or showed emotions before! She really didn’t know how! Kudos to Princess Diana for showing her sons the difference! I take my hat off to Prince Charles! How he could ever forget and forgive them for what they did to him! He has my respect!

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

Agree about Diana - can't wait to see her introduced, I think maybe next season

Hello, I'm not an English speaker, I'd like to know if he has referred to his cat as a "she", because that's I heard at the end of the interview. Thank you in advanced. Great interview!

What did you mean the cat's name was cruel?

[@MargaretGardinerUniverse]

Its a joke. if he's a cat called pigeon and he is hunting pigeons'g but he's a cat. Its really funny. and a clever choice of name.

[@maryellencarlen6711]

Hello you wonderful Margaret Gardiner....I'm a bit late to this whole interview but in reading the comments I read with interest your own story in one of the replies to a rather rude comment...I think that the way you questioned Tobias with the intention to make him smile speaks volumes about who you are despite what may have happened in your life...keep shining your light into a world that seems intent on loving the darkness...also just as a precedent to cats being called "pigeon" a very long time ago there was a cartoon character Pepe Le Pew and he fell in love with a black and white cat mistaking her for a female skunk...he is constantly chasing this poor cat...and says things like( imagine a French accent now)"Where are you my little pigeon" ...its very funny and sweet...and Pepe is very misguided...anyways just a fun fact...Joyous holidays to you and your family.!!!!

[@feenixgrrl]

Ah okay. I know that reference but his fan group also call ourselves pigeons (it's a long story, but it was pre-cat) so we take it as a compliment, nonetheless. Thank you!

Does he have a bad haircut, or his hairline just receding? Lol not hating just curious. Love him in The Crown!

def receding. sadly only natural as a man gets older lol
