What a genius! Hilarious, but also incredibly educated and impassioned, and down-to-earth and honest. Could listen to Aldis all day. One of the best guests you've had on this.
Chadwick set the bar unimaginably high & his adaption of the character will spread through generations. ALL I’M saying is if this man were to take up the Black Panther mantle one day I wouldn’t be disappointed at all. He’s got the superhero swagger and it definitely showed in his portrayal of Hawkman. Food for thought.
@@kevinnguyen290 Possibly in the future but I dont see the MCU retiring the character anytime soon. All these new projects and new threats coming I’m sure they wouldn’t spread the Avengers thinner than they already are. Plus Black Panther and just Wakandan culture in general bring a lot of diversity to the mix and thats what the MCU has been all about nowadays. Sadly they didnt get to tell as much as they were planning to with Chadwick but Aldis surely has the potential to carry it on if they ever decided to.
Honestly he would be better off in the MCU, at least his humour would be utilized there but it's also cool to see him play a serious character like hawkman
Humble, Handsome, Hilarious AND Intelligent!!! Love you Mr. Hodge!! Can't wait for your watch to be available for purchase. You are amazing. Keeping going Brotha!!!
I really love Aldis! Great personality, stylish, and passionate towards the things and people he loves. He killed it as Hawkman in Black Adam and is definitely one of my new favorite actors!
I am a fan since leverage, was so thrilled he got to play Hawkman. Adored Alex cross. Beside it’s so cool that he has such passion for something and also how down to earth he is. The backpack, mujipencil and well used notebook and laptop.
HUGE fan of Aldis since Leverage and this just makes me more of a fan. I’m intrigued to see his timepiece drop and get one hopefully. Easily my favorite guest!
Met him in an elevator in Los Angeles around Christmas like 5 years ago. Mentioned to him that his watch was real nice. Cool to see him bring up horology design in this video.
I've been following this man's career for so long! I'm so excited to see black Adam and am so happy for this dude! I hope to see more and more things with him in it 👏✌️
this is guy... i just love his personality. I been rolling with him since he was featured on half & half. we cannot forget about leverage "age of the geek baby"
I love these because you learn things not only about the person of the piece but also what they are into. Aldis fascination and passion with watches is amazing. Had no idea, even about the books he carries. This was great. This man is also hilarious, lol.
This dude is a solid actor. His roles in Invisible Man and Black Adam make me wish he’d be the lead in some kind of superhero outing. With the right supporting cast, easy blockbuster actor
Personally this brotha is awesome in all aspects. It’s refreshing to see one of our own whom is very intelligent and well spoken. Not only that, switching up the narrative and showing an interest in something most of our culture don’t indulge in ( actually breaking down and knowing watches) . Very impressive king… keep doing ya thang champ!
Such a cool guy, a proper renaissance men. Cannot wait for this watch to come out. He had been working so long on it. Just hope it is affordable enough.
I love how he's passionate about horology, craftsmanship and smelling good. Like, as a man, I usually watch these GQ videos to know how successful young men operate. So I can get some inspiration and insight
i wasn't expecting to really like Hawkman in the Black Adam movie, but Aldis really elevated the character for me and he is probably the best thing about Black Adam
You know they brought the show back last year as Leverage: Redemption, right? Aldis was only in a few of the episodes because he was filming Black Adam and his other tv show with Kevin Bacon, but the Leverage team is back. No Nate, tho.
I don’t know what it is about this dude, but I love him. Never seen him in anything besides black Adam, but his vibe in these interviews is just some thing else. He seems like a really nice dude.❤️🔥
Man my childhood dream came true to see a live action Hawkman and Aldis nailed the role in Black Adam,incredible performance 👏👏 👏 he’s such a cool dude, really chill vibe about him, hope to see more of Hawkman in the DC universe, thanks for having him on GQ 🙌
Carol's daughter is actually the creator of the product lines, Lisa. Are used to go to her store in Brooklyn prior to her being picked up by a major distributor. She used to make stuff by hand. I miss her whipped Shea butter.
I feel like he and Anthony Mackie would make good friends. Similar humor hehe. I've never really seen an interview of his before so I didn't realize his great personality and interest in intellectual ideas. Was already a great actor.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
I love that he’s talking about something other than brands. He’s talking about what he’s passionate about. That’s why he’s one of my favorite actors!
What a genius! Hilarious, but also incredibly educated and impassioned, and down-to-earth and honest. Could listen to Aldis all day. One of the best guests you've had on this.
Facts I look forward to getting my hands on one of his watches one day
Aldis, is that you? 🤣🔥
He is very intellectual.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aldris would be the perfect pick for our next Black Panther!
I agree
It's really cool to see his passion about the stuff he creates, his goals and the people that he loves. A legend in the making!
I have something for you….
the charisma , confidence and humility on this guy, he’s amazing
and humor
He was so refreshing to watch and listen to ❤
I love how authentic he is. Like I really believe him using all of these things. He is also very funny but not forced at all! Love it
He was fantastic as Hawkman, I seriously hope he gets more roles
Black Adam was worth the watch !
@@dannycortes73 totally agree! the critics got it wrong!
@@iHeartTuesdays it was a terrible cookie cutter superhero movie
I love this character in that movie
@@iHeartTuesdays agreed! I don’t always underestimate DC movies!
Black diamond explanation was beautiful. Wish this man all the best, can really feel his passion for watches, jewellery and ofc his acting profession.
Please put him in more roles 🙏 he doesn't miss
I've been waiting for his breakthrough for a long time.
I love the series he is in with Kevin Bacon. Produced by Affleck and Damon. City on a Hill
You seen Black Adam?
I loved him in one night in Miami
@@jatilq good series
Loved him in Leverage and Underground. So happy to see him again in Black Adam
One of the better GQ Essential interviews. I prefer this than rappers showing their bust-down watches and Goyard bags
Facts. As a jeweler myself I loved hearing his thoughts on the black diamond. He’s so well-spoken and interesting
Chadwick set the bar unimaginably high & his adaption of the character will spread through generations.
ALL I’M saying is if this man were to take up the Black Panther mantle one day I wouldn’t be disappointed at all. He’s got the superhero swagger and it definitely showed in his portrayal of Hawkman. Food for thought.
Yeah i think he’s make a great black panther but also i think they will respectfully fully retire the “character”
@@kevinnguyen290 Possibly in the future but I dont see the MCU retiring the character anytime soon.

Shut up.
YES!!!!! I thought the same years ago...but I dont think ppl are gonna hear us though.
Honestly he would be better off in the MCU, at least his humour would be utilized there but it's also cool to see him play a serious character like hawkman
"I'm not about to be out here shaming my mama..." 😂😂
Always cool to see someone in the spotlight who’s truly into watches and this guy is on a whole other level. Rooting for his brand.
Can't wait to see one of his pieces finalized and working
The way he geeks about his things with hilarious grace
Aldis Hodge has always outclassed most of his roles, for most of his career. It's nice to see the world catch up to him.
I like it when he switches to serious mode when he talks about his stuff
Him and his brother are having their moment. Been of fan of Aldis since Leverage, his brother a bit after
Humble, Handsome, Hilarious AND Intelligent!!! Love you Mr. Hodge!! Can't wait for your watch to be available for purchase. You are amazing. Keeping going Brotha!!!
When he played Alec Hardison on Leverage, he was just about playing himself. I’d like to see him in that role again.
Age of the geek, baby.
they have leverage redemption that is current filming season 2. he missed a good part of season 1 to film black adam
He will always be Hardison to me.
Is Leverage on any streaming services?
@@juststerk It's on Amazon Prime
I really love Aldis! Great personality, stylish, and passionate towards the things and people he loves. He killed it as Hawkman in Black Adam and is definitely one of my new favorite actors!

One of my favorite "10 Essentials " so far. The Black diamond reference was so authentic. Thank you Brotha!
Loved the black diamond reference also.
Watched Aldis when he was on Leverage. Great show. I am thrilled he is doing so well. Can't wait to see what he has coming up.
Aldis Hodge I LOVE YOU
호크맨 오래오래 해주세요~
This dude killed it in black adam, my favorite hawkman interpretation to date.
HUGE fan of Aldis since Leverage and this just makes me more of a fan. I’m intrigued to see his timepiece drop and get one hopefully. Easily my favorite guest!
This has got to be my favorite 10 essentials video. It felt real, authentic and down to earth. When he pulled out his sketch pad I was hooked.
Met him in an elevator in Los Angeles around Christmas like 5 years ago. Mentioned to him that his watch was real nice. Cool to see him bring up horology design in this video.
Love to see someone truly passionate about Horology
I've been following this man's career for so long! I'm so excited to see black Adam and am so happy for this dude! I hope to see more and more things with him in it 👏✌️
Edwin & Aldis both blood brothers are extremely talented and supportive of each other…so admire that brotherhood🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏾
It’s always good to see actors/actresses me multi-dimensional outside of their roles. Hawk man to me was the highlight of the black Adam movie also.
this is guy... i just love his personality. I been rolling with him since he was featured on half & half. we cannot forget about leverage "age of the geek baby"
Loved this guy on Leverage. Such a good actor.
Omg he’s hilarious!!!! I can’t wait to start on his Alex Cross series
At 7:47. That was a perfect example on why he loves that type of diamond. 👌
DEPLOYANT clasp my brother, not deployment. Great interview, your passion for what you love really shines through. Great to see.
Aldis personally is everything, so funny and articulate 💪🏾
I love these because you learn things not only about the person of the piece but also what they are into. Aldis fascination and passion with watches is amazing. Had no idea, even about the books he carries. This was great. This man is also hilarious, lol.
I could listen to him all day. His ode to black diamonds … ❤
Mr. Hodge is a marvelous actor. Deserves oscars
Still watch Leverage to this day ...love Aldis
This dude is a solid actor. His roles in Invisible Man and Black Adam make me wish he’d be the lead in some kind of superhero outing. With the right supporting cast, easy blockbuster actor

Such a cool guy! I could listen to him talk all day.
He was such a good hawkman. Can't wait to see more of him
I’m handsome
This man needs and deserves bigger and better roles asap!!
Nothing beats somebody talking about his passion ❤️🔥 He truly is one of the best thing in Black Adam
If he and Anthony Mackie shared a room the charisma would be insane
They are both winged superheroes.
Loved Aldis in ‘Leverage’ and ‘Invisible Man’
Such a cool guy, a proper renaissance men. Cannot wait for this watch to come out. He had been working so long on it. Just hope it is affordable enough.
💯💯
Became a fan after Black Adam. This dude just oozed so much charisma...I was like WHO is this?? Then I went down a google rabbit hole
Have always liked Aldis Hodge and this video cements the fact that he's a fab, funny, smart and decent fellow!
He’s so gorgeous ❤
I love how he's passionate about horology, craftsmanship and smelling good. Like, as a man, I usually watch these GQ videos to know how successful young men operate. So I can get some inspiration and insight
Easily the most funny and entertaining ten essentials I have ever seen😂😂😂, instantly made me a fan of his
This was a good one. Aldis is funny and a very good actor.
He's beautiful, charismatic and funny. And he has a lovely, theater-trained voice.
i wasn't expecting to really like Hawkman in the Black Adam movie, but Aldis really elevated the character for me and he is probably the best thing about Black Adam
"Carol, we never met. You and your daughter, whatever you be making is a staple." IM DEAD.
lol
Loved this guy in Leverage.
Incredibly well spoken gentlemen!
I love Aldis Hodge! He was my favorite character in Leverage!! I was so disappointed to find out he wasn’t in Leverage, Redemption!
He was. Just not all the episodes because he was filming Black Adam and his other show, City on the Hill.
Loved this guy on Leverage
I find him to be very interesting and a great person. His personality is dope
Aldis is a interesting guy. I love the passion he has for designing watches.
I have been a fan of Aldis for YEARS!!!
this is the most i’ve ever seen this dude smile and laugh even since Friday Night Lights lol
Guys, you have no idea how much I loved and I love LEVERAGE.
I miss you and the gang.
You know they brought the show back last year as Leverage: Redemption, right? Aldis was only in a few of the episodes because he was filming Black Adam and his other tv show with Kevin Bacon, but the Leverage team is back. No Nate, tho.
I can't even say all the ways I love this man! He is intelligent, down to earth, compassionate, and just a cool human.
Been watching Mr. Hodge on screen for years: He's a brilliant creative genius. He's going to have a long and illustrious career.
Aldis is unintentionally funny 😂😂
Leverage was on of my favorites shows
Now this is who should had been recast as the BLACK PANTHER
Who did they recast him with?
Sorry nvm I can just Google it
Naah
Agreed!!!!
Denzel’s Son???
Love his vibe. Dope episode for sure.
I don’t know what it is about this dude, but I love him. Never seen him in anything besides black Adam, but his vibe in these interviews is just some thing else. He seems like a really nice dude.❤️🔥
He caught my attention on Leverage & I've been addicted addicted since...
He is so interesting. I could listen to him talk all day ❤
This is probably one of the best ones I’ve seen in a while
I love this man’s personality
Man my childhood dream came true to see a live action Hawkman and Aldis nailed the role in Black Adam,incredible performance 👏👏 👏 he’s such a cool dude, really chill vibe about him, hope to see more of Hawkman in the DC universe, thanks for having him on GQ 🙌
This guy is pure class! and and also a big watch nerd like me.
Long time coming GQ, I adore him.
Carol's daughter is actually the creator of the product lines, Lisa. Are used to go to her store in Brooklyn prior to her being picked up by a major distributor. She used to make stuff by hand. I miss her whipped Shea butter.
Saw Black Adam a few weeks ago. Loved Aldis’ performance as Hawkman.
What a proper cool, engaging and charismatic dude. Favourite one yet.
I loved this. I have been a fan for so long, so glad more people are being introduced to you.
Very well respected in the horology community, keep being great Mr Hodge!
Smart, Hilarious, Talented, Cultured and Fine…. He’s blessed! ❤
This guy is Amazing. Loads of respect for Aldis Hodge, Intelligent man! 👏🏾 👏🏾 ❤️❤️
I love this man, he's so funny lmao
Excellent interview . Waiting for the next season of " City on a Hill ".
I feel like he and Anthony Mackie would make good friends. Similar humor hehe. I've never really seen an interview of his before so I didn't realize his great personality and interest in intellectual ideas. Was already a great actor.
I loved it so much! Full of confidence, handsomeness and great humor. Thanks Aldis
Aldis, is so funny, he said, "Carol you and your daughter", that's hilarious too me.
What a multifaceted personality this man has! I could watch him for hours : )
