Guillermo del Toro and Doug Jones in Conversation

The Director and star of The Shape of Water at Vulture Festival LA (November 18-19, 2017).

[@ianmartinezcassmeyer]

You know Guillermo and Doug are good friends because only a good friend could describe you, in front of an audience, as, "Blessed with no shoulders and no ass."

[@laurelsilberman5705]

True friendship in a nutshell. Insults as compliments.

[@Will0wFire]

Doug Jones is an unsung hero in the film industry.

[@glrose3787]

The way Guillermo talks about things...i don't have words. My soul just relates and connects to everything he's saying as if it was a well known melody. Love him and his love for movies and humanity. It gives me hope and faith!

[@Sludgepump]

Guillermo del Toro is a genius. Such a deep thinker. Doug Jones recognizes this completely.

[@rasnac]

The fact that Doug Jones did not receive a Best Leading Actor nomination in the Academy Awards for his amazing performance in The Shape of Water is a travesty.

I respect this man more with every word he utters

[@Zombiesnyder13]

Best duo since Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis

[@AndreAsunte]

Kyle Campbell They definitely have a great relationship .They way they fuel each other's creativity is beautiful.

[@jbasti227]

Absolutely. Another great duo too is Denis Villanueve and Jake Gyllenhaal

[@Zombiesnyder13]

@@jbasti227 I disagree because they haven't worked together since ENEMY

[@davidmartinez3272]

I bet Doug has to be more patient at work than Andy xD

[@Han-co3xh]

We are creatures, beautiful creatures in different bodies and souls❤ I love GDT he is a genius humble and extraordinary artist.

[@heididepotter8136]

These 2 are good friends. The humor, the trust, the understanding, the chemistry. Grate combo A word I need to memorise: a geekasme

[@WalterLiddy]

There are some great directors working today, but I think not only is Del Toro as good as any - he's also the most interesting.

[@epjrzsound9531]

Stay with someone that stares you like Doug stares Guillermo! haha

[@ducymariano]

Lol Trueeee!

[@HuggiMa]

I didn't know Guillermo del Toro was so darn funny!

[@gracekeddy]

"and i start with fourteen shots of tequila..."

[@Eyeseeyouclown]

I love you Guillermo so hard!

[@williamoldham7601]

Awesome video I hope Guillermo del Toro does Mountains of Madness someday

[@WalterLiddy]

I doubt it will ever happen. For one thing, the story doesn't lend itself well to the movie medium, and for another, there are so many popular films derived from it as source material/inspiration that an adaptation would inevitably seem like a knockoff of the knockoffs. It would be nice, but I really don't see it happening.

[@williamoldham7601]

WalterLiddy yeah.. but if anyone could bring it to life it'd be GDT....

[@fettfan91]

No wonder these two have worked together so many times, they’re hilarious together!

[@heididepotter8136]

Guillerma Del Torro is a genious! I agree with him when he states that his best stories comme in his deepest moments in your life. My best ideas comme from dark times, I turn darkness into light. I grow out of chalanges I agree with his statement that we are all grey, or multicolored. Not black and white. We cant be captured in a fiew words or actions. Love is listening, understanding, respect and forgiveness. Is he becomming my Guru??? I love listening to him

[@Becca-bm8rt]

Find someone who looks at you like Doug Jones looks at Guillermo

[@coldsoup5571]

is that even possible? 😂

[@Ch4os4ever]

They have to come together again and make Mountains of Madness!

[@DM-zl6dj]

GILLERMO YOU ARE SO CHARMING!!!I LOVE THE WAYS YOU DISCRAVE, THE LOVE !!!!I'M SO PROUD TO BE MEXICAN ,AMERICAN LIKE YOU . CONGRATS FOR OLL YOUR WORK!!!!👌👌👌👌❤❤❤👍

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Cultural Marxism in the films and gizmo is part of it . Identity politics is bullshit . Ugly is beautiful and beauty is ugly

[@watchensee]

^_^ :-* Doug is just the cutest, handsomest, most adorable "Stinky" that ever stinkied on this earth!

[@19jacinta88]

Doug is 57 years old? I refuse to believe that.

[@Ch4os4ever]

Well he looks already like a skeleton...

[@niellalien]

@@Ch4os4ever Lol, mean

[@Drkajavab]

@@Ch4os4ever well...he was trained as a mime and a contortionist. Have you ever seen a fat contortionist? He is tall and slender as mkst contortionist are. Plus having a strong and extremely slender frame makes it really easy to model creatures around him. His body doesn't interfere with the image the artist/director, etc have for the creature's shape. So he's likely maintained this body type because it's ideal for what he does. He's a damn genius at what he does. I've rewatched movies just to watch him move. From Pan's Labrynth to Discovery, he's so skilled at what he does.

[@diegom-a7970]

[@davidmartinez3272]

Fuck... This is the first time I hear Doug's voice... It's pretty neat, I don't know they always dub him

[@ianmartinezcassmeyer]

Except in the second Hellboy movie. That's his voice there too

[@akazaynab]

@@ianmartinezcassmeyer Thankfully, I love his voice.

[@Collageman90]

I hope Doug Jones will be in Robert Zemeckis' The Witches (produced by Doug's pal Guillermo del Toro) as a witch in drag and the grand high witch's unmasked and true form while Annie Hathaway provides the voice because I can see him in that kind of movie.

[@ScottLeeson]

look I know live action adaptations aren't usually good. but imagine Doug Jones as Jack Skellington.

Doug stole Joel McHale's voice?

I do not agree with Del Toro's atheist and liberal beliefs anymore, as I'm now an ex-atheist who was raised by a moderate and far left liberal and I now am conservative and acknowledge God's existence and His documentation of history via His word (The Bible), and I do not care much for him as a person, but I do admire Del Toro's determination to create films and of those films, my favourite Del Toro's films are "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Crimson Peak". As for Doug Jones, while I do not agree with some of his beliefs, he is absolutely a joy and a delight and an honour to speak with. Such a smart guy with such a kind heart - I have to hand it to him. Jones deserves far more praise and credit than he gets, but perhaps in a way, that is best because he gets to enjoy his real personal life with his wife and family in anonymity while giving these beautiful and memoral performances, which are on par with the greats - including some of my favourites like Lon Chaney Sr, Boris Karloff, Al Hedison, etc. To both of them, well done on both of your hard work. :)

[@otex5155]

Ngl had no clue Guillermo was white. Lol I keep forgetting the location doesn’t determine the skin color.

[@samcreel]

It actually sort of does, it’s just that for some reason people outside Latin America don’t know that as part of the Western World (which is where white people live), there’s plenty of white people in countries such as Mexico.
