    Interviewer was great. Travis is a quiet man and she gave him the time and patience to really take his time and answer things the way they play out in his head

    Here's a thing, he is not really motivated by material gain or popularity - he' s more into character growth and transformation. He is also very thoughtful in conversation he listens to hear not react. Wish him a long and successful career, a guy like him deserves it.

      💯💯💯 @arlinviljoen6637 You described Travis perfectly!! He couldn't care less about Hollywood stuff and Fame.
      He's a brilliant Actor, though!! Phenomenal in Black Snow!

  • @JaimieJo

    She is a great interviewer, and I think Travis opens up a lot more when there's not an audience, love his acting! He should have won an Emmy for his portrayal of Ragnar Lothbrok!

    "I always think you can say more by not saying anything" very well said Travis. Ive never seen an actor who uses their expressions and body language so well hes got a very unique style of acting but its extremely effective

  • @Sam-fs5iv
    @Sam-fs5iv 9 лет назад +41

    Travis Fimmel seems like such a nice, reserved and soft-spoken person here, and in other interviews I've seen. What a guy to be able to consistently play a character like Ragnar.

  • @gleng.a.mccarroll7030

    Ragnar saying the Lord’s Prayer with Athelstan will remain one of the most beautifully profound scenes in the Vikings show. Definitely one of my personal favorites. I’m glad Travis chose to say this the way he did!

  • @jamiewulfyr4607
    @jamiewulfyr4607 6 лет назад +24

    It's true.The way he uses his physicality,rapidly changing facial expressions & strategically timed silences makes Ragnar completely fill the screen when he is in a scene.He has a rare power of presence.I wish Travis every happiness whatever life choices he makes.I'm a country lad myself.I don't like cities much either.Give me the trees & fields any day!Best of luck Travis!

  • @dewchamp5716
    @dewchamp5716 9 лет назад +74

    Why is everyone so mean about the interviewer? I think she is doing a great job. And she seems to be an easy-going person in general. Travis is pretty shy and (probably) tired almost in every interview. So what's the problem with this young lady?

  • @shellos8
    @shellos8 6 лет назад +9

    Great interview, the interview was productive and I think she did great. Judgment should be reserved for people who are in the field of journalism. Some people are too harsh and judgmental when they themselves could not do better when given the chance.

    • @subutaynoyan5372
      @subutaynoyan5372 9 лет назад +2

      I think his main trait is not humility. Seems like he's not doing what he does for fame or becoming worldwide star, problably doing it because he does it well and not really caring about the rest of it. Even is his speech sounds reluctant, obviously he prefers a calm life.
      By the way, Katheryn says that he's an extreme prankster. There's that.

    Sometimes Travis reminds me of Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy). In some of the way he looks, they could be related, Does anyone else see this? Anyway two of the best looking actors I've seen in a long time. And two of the best movies in a long time!

    • @ArvisSc
      @ArvisSc 9 лет назад +11

      Tanesha Walker please don't presume that you know him personally and know how strong his will his. I have no doubt that he will avoid all that bullshit that Ledger got himself into and what eventually killed him.
      Travis will probably buy a beef farm after he earns enough money and will quit hollywood altogether. And good for him.

  • @drrsc
    @drrsc 9 лет назад +11

    whoa, he just seemed so uncomfortable being interviewed as himself I felt sorry for him. obviously he can act, portraying ragnar and bringing all that dangerous, craziness out of himself in front of the camera, but it must be exhausting. from what ive heard about tv shooting schedules, the rushes/dailies are done when they're done and you don't get to stop until they are completed. maybe the guy is always tired when he has to do these interviews, but im thinking he would just rather not do them at all..
    hope he gets every every cent he asks for this acting job and is able to purchase his farm or whatever he wants. its so refreshing to know that there's at least one show business person who isn't pathologically egotistical and can tolerate more than a few seconds of not talking about himself...unlike most of the 'celebrities' in Hollywood.

Brad Pit... there is alot of them... who simply hate public speaking, and alot of us irl , Just cuz someone got a job as an actor, doesnt mean the love the circuit tours. .Too bad Johnny Carson isnt still around, he made everyone feel at ease. James Lipton, ever notice his guests? They are all panic striken, the ones who NEVER do talk shows... he puts them at ease.. and by end of show, they almost always say 'this was alright!.. i wasnt sure i could do this'.. hehe

      I completely agree, she is a shocker. Her voice was annoying.

      Agree she was cringe worthy but I still prefer her to the girl on the Good Morning LA.

      It would have been nice if she didn't sound like a complete moron, she didn't seem to know what she was talking about ..... Poor Travis, he handled her well.

    The problem with this interview is that she keeps saying uhm hum when he answers a question and it's very annoying and makes it hard to watch. He is over it and not interested in doing the interview so those 2 factors, her constant uhm hum and the fact that he is damn near dead in this interview. Horrific.
