Why Christoph Waltz is not like other Hollywood stars …

[@ashleym5000]

"I'm sorry, I interrupted." 🤯 He is polite. Bravo! I love his personality. I think I'd bore him, though. He is highly intelligent.

[@amaramurphy9650]

@snowangeliquexx 6:15 :)

[@kalamajka87]

"To LET GO of the anger is liberation." Yep! Insightful man.

[@businesswalks8301]

you're easy

[@amandaadnama4532]

You are so lucky to have had the opportunity to sit with this beautiful intelligent man.

[@ImprovingAbility]

He's exactly right! To be angry is not liberating, it's not blowing off steam. It's the expression of something we are incapable to do, and doesn't make the problem go away. Just as he says , letting go is liberation. Very clever man :-)

[@TimMaloneyNMactor]

Great interview .

[@yasminunnova]

This is the first good interview I've seen with Christoph Waltz. He is a really intelligent and intimidating man and other interviewers tend to keep on interrupting him because he takes his time to answer questions. He chooses his words very carefully. Thank you so much for this! Keep up the good work :)

[@Flaawsometalk]

+Yasmin Reber Aw, thank you so much! So happy you liked it.

[@filmnobelpreis]

His interviews on Charlie Rose are deep ones, too.

[@johnair1]

Its because when he speaks he does not just speak. He speaks from his "core" which is Intelligence, Intuition, feeling and Experience. It´s not just words its really his opinion. He also observes that's why it takes its time ;)

[@ntsikeleloqoyo4188]

He cuts through the BS and fluff quick. He doesn't appreciate stupid questions which don't seem thought through. Honestly she almost sank but kept up shame

[@LoganR0423]

That’s interesting to me how you find Christoph, “intimidating”. I would seem to me he is warm, welcoming.

[@NovaJake360]

This is an incredible interview. The interviewer has interesting questions and lets Waltz talk without interrupting, not very common.

[@heartagramdl]

I'm Dutch and I really recognise his way of answering the questions, it's very common in Dutch/German/Scandanavian interviews and to me personally it feels more natural than the American way. I think this down-to-earth demeanor helps us get less starstruck with them, because they come across more normal.

[@georgespades9936]

Timon M. And some of us love him for that.

[@freddy10001fa]

I`m german too and i also immediately recognised his kind of Dutch/German/Scandinavian answering. The difference between hollywoodactors and german actors is that US-staractors entertain more and they are more emotional whilst german actors explain more in interviews and they are more rational, which creates some kind of cold impression to Americans. German/Austrian actors feel also more as professional artists due to the long tradition of acting at theatres like the "Wiener Burgtheater". It would always be a greater honour for a german actor, who calls himself professional actor (in german "Berufsschauspieler") with a degree in acting studies, to act the protagonist at a reputable theatre than to act the starring role in a big cinema production. However the latter is better paid.

[@georgespades9936]

I similarly as an American use logic more. So im targeted as strange....but that just me. It's individual throughout all.

[@chandlerrecord1657]

His calm and professional manner is why I like him. He's more sophisticated than other Hollywood actors. I need to watch some of his Austrian movies.

[@linajurgensen4698]

[@maikenroskilde2699]

+myfaithfulvengance There was one moment where she should take just taken a bit of time to think about a deeper reply, but unfortunately she raced on with her next question instead because she thought she might not be quite able to understand what Mr. Waltz means. That is a pity. I think she could have responded very well. Unfortunately this way it stayed a bit shallow.

[@georgespades9936]

He seemed to genuinely enjoy it.

[@mohammedmustafa6746]

I like how he answers questions, very careful structure of sentences and describes his answer in depth, and he is also very humble, i like how he apologized for interrupting the interviewer (6:10), such an admirable person.

[@n.k.7208]

Ive watched a lot of interviews of his and you did well. Mr. Waltz is a deep thinker and you allowed for that. Many interviewers don't and you can read the frustration on his face during the interviews. I didn't really detect that here. He can be (I'd imagine) an intimidating interviewee because he's so smart, blunt, and different but kudos to you for going with it and holding your own 👍🏼

I've been a huge fan of Christoph since he starred in Inglourious basterds, whose film made him earn an Oscar for his Hans Landa's character despite he was the supporting actor. As far as i'm concerned, he's good at playing villain roles and his performance in Tim Burton's Big Eyes is no the exception.

[@Flaawsometalk]

+AlienIschozar Thank you so much for saying that.

[@oobrocks]

1 advantage he had: he was almost a nobody for 25 yrs but now he's very wise

[@simonmontanaro]

"Getting anger out is not liberation...to let go of the anger is liberation" You recognize a good interviewer by the answers he is provoking. But that's Waltz's catholic background anyway: sacrifice your feelings in order to free yourself from them. In Austria you are responsible for your anger, not others who might have provoked you.

[@leporello7]

Very interesting and enlightening! I have never thought about this point, your last sentence really highlights a big difference between austrian and german/bavarian everyday culture, which otherwise have some similarities. To germans the austrian way of coolness/"non-reactiveness" sometimes seems inexplicably strange and (sorry for the word) a bit creepy. So we often imagine Austrians to be up to something. Perhaps this is why playing the bad guy comes naturally to Christoph Waltz?

[@MultiSabata]

You are a very gifted interviewer that is for sure. Christoph can come off as jerkish in interviews but you were able to keep him from that. Great job

Great Interview, Waltz is by far my favorite actor, but what makea this interview special is the women interviewing him. For my own disgrace I have to say i do not like interviewers because in my eyes most of them just do it for money or show off. But the lady here seems like she really ist interested in his answers and does not interrupt him or somehow. this is such a important skill to just listen to other people and learn instead of putting your own interests above. thank you really much for this experience 🙏 (I do apologize for any grammer or text error in my comment english is not my mothertongue, but it is my favorit language, and i try to use no shortcuts because it is such a beautyfull language so please correct every error i made so I learn)

[@budidarmawan2304]

I am confident that he would make an excellent lecturer/educator with voluminous enlightening books and researches. He is as smart as his grandfather.

[@seop1721]

It seems to me that he finds a way to rarely talk about himself or his process, just like how he said elsewhere that he can't or doesn't talk about his characters. He seems to always take a question to him and externalise it, and then to comment on at least some other way of looking at it. It can even seem oppositional, because he rarely simply agrees with a question or statement. Everything is more complicated than any possible question about it might imply, and his answers tend to comment on that; he almost has a philosopher's way of thinking. But there's the sense, I find, of never quite knowing what makes Waltz tick. He's elusive. Maybe that's his talent as an actor; he keeps himself a mystery.

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

[@rosalina9768]

The movie Big Eyes is extremely special to me. It was one of the few hollywood movies I was allowed to watch, being raised as a Jehovah's Witness. The movie is about a painter who became a Jehovah's Witness during the film so that's why. My grandfather actually knew the women who the movie is based off of personally, and has about 15 of her original paintings. For anyone who doesnt know, the Jehovah's Witness are a terrible organization, boarding on being a cult. Nevertheless the movie is great meditation on fame, artistry, faith, and envy. Being disfellowshipped from the organization for about 5 years now, I still connect with the women in the film, dispite my personal trauma with the JWs. And that's incredibly powerful. A testament to how well Christoff played such a villainous role, he made ME actually ROOT for the Jehovah's Witness. Great film
