David Sutcliffe Looks Back On Playing Christopher On ‘Gilmore Girls’ | TODAY Originals
I feel like Luke was a better partner for Lorelai and was the person she could always count on but I feel like Christopher understood Lorelai in a way that Luke never could. It was a different type of connection
This. Chris saw through Lorelai's wild antics. He can figure out her volumes of speech which Luke didn't. Luke is lovely but he just grunts mostly. With Chris and Lorelai, you see that there is a whole history inbetween them. There was a scene where Sherry and Chris visits Stars Hollow and Sherry wanted to take Rory shopping and asked Lorelai. Lorelai warned Rory via a telephone call and if Rory agreed on it she had to say Okay Leonardo something. When Sherry and Chris was readying to leave the house, Chris said: I'll see you tonight Leonardo. That was that moment.
So well put. Him and Lorelai are just so in sync when it comes to their banter, their background and chemistry. He gets her quirks and references where it’s a bit lost on Luke. I always wanted them to work out but when she did marry him she was in love with Luke. Luke was a more caring and reliable partner for her.
Sometimes the best partner is someone who balances you out a little. With Chris and Lorelai Lorelai would need to always be the more responsible and mature one and it would have worn off her playful nature in time. Lorelai has had her fair share of independence and being responsible already, with Luke she can just be herself and let him take care of things 💕🦋
Luke understood Lorelai more then Chris never did.
@@Maatjuhhh I think it's the other way around. Luke knew Lorelai highs and Lows Chris never did.
He also says “who wouldn’t want to kiss a Gilmore Girl” in the 100th episode!
I was really hoping I wasn’t the only nerd who knew that
Rory also says “Well it’s those lovely Gilmore girls” when they come back from doing rory’s 21st birthday las Vegas trip
@@elygonzalez677 also lorelei says something like ''and the gilmore girls of our lives'' in a Friday night dinner and she also says '' how once they had a gilmore and they lost a gilmore girl'' while talking about rory's dean ''box''
Hated Chris’ constant immaturity, but man was/is he dreamy...
Man he was. I used to crush on him and wanted Lorelai to be with him.
When he rides up on the motorcycle for the first time.. ahhhh. Oh my gawd... 😍🤤
Lmao. Chris is how so many men are when they’re young. I loved watching him from start to end, evolving into a real man, responsible, loving, caring. It’s a beautiful journey to watch
Lo and Chris gelled so well w each other it was heartbreaking
@@yohomoominn7076 They did have the best chemistry
This show has been my ‘therapy’ for years...
Absolutely
Haha yes same
Mine too 🙈
Just began watching on Netflix in Singapore! 3weeks ago, and I am hooked! Magical is the word, especially during this unreal Covid time.
Mine as well
I love that Chris says the title of the show twice and nobody else does. It’s a nice detail
That's not true, Lorelei does so in season 1
And Mia on her wedding
@@nadine0026 and she also says it when she gives Rory her approval of the book
rory and lorelai after coming back from atlantic city
I 100% am team Luke but I absolutely did love Christopher, faults and all. The scene where Lorelai and Christopher are sitting on the couch and Lorelai says "You are the man I want to want..." that just gets me EVERY time. So heartbreaking and realistic. Sometimes soul mates don't end up together. I believe Luke was the one for Lorelai, but Christopher was her soul mate.
Agree 100%
Loved Christopher and have always wanted him to end up with lor, but knew it shouldn’t happen. When lorelai said that, i felt like i was Christopher himself, cause he knew it wasn’t supposed to happen too.this is my favorite scene, so poetic
(Sorry if i made any mistake on the writing)
SAME!!! Us Christopher Stans deserve some recognition lol!!
100% agree
I agree 100% with you 🥰
christopher wasn’t a bad guy. he just wasn’t *the* guy.
Exactly :)
Yes he was a bad guy for cheating on his wife and acting like he had any obligation toward Lorelai when they weren't even together.
He was a bad father, he was in his daughter's life just when it was convenient for him
@@midapita they weren't married...they had broken up and then he found she was pregnant and got back together with her but she fled to paris before they ever married. he always loved lorelai and had a child with her so he was there for her...
@@lizc1616 that's true but when he got his life together, it was nice to see him putting effort in with her. luke and lorelai were better parents to her for sure.
Christopher, for all his flaws, did evolve and become a better person. And it wasn't always his fault. Sometimes it was the circumstance, and sometimes it was even Lorelai contributing to it, like when they slept together when she was with Luke or hastily got married. Also he was big in shaping the development of Rory and Lorelai
Yes to all of this
big in shaping their development? he was never around!
@@indiesunflowers Sometimes the times someone is there AND the times they aren't shape character.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND START WALKING IN OBEDIENCE, WITHSTANDING FROM ALL SIN AND WICKEDNESS, JESUS SAID THE PATH TO HEAVEN IS HARD AND NARROW, AND FEW FIND IT. MATTHEW 7:13-14, HEBREWS 5:9, JOHN 14:15, MATTHEW 7:21-26, 1ST CORINTHIANS 6:9-10, JOHN 3:16-21, JOHN 10:7-8, MATTHEW 10:26, AND LUKE 13:5. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
How was he a better person.
If he cut his hair and shave beard he would Look excactly like on the show. He didn’t age
thought the same thing!
I rooted for Christopher so bad, mostly because he was so hot
Ha me too!
Ikr hahaha I saw the show last year (I was like 2 when it came out haha) and I was in love with him lol
No... I might be lying bc I like girls more than boys but... he was sooooo immature and not nice! But irl he is nice #LUKEDANES
SAME LMAOOO
Lmbo Same 😂 I’m still a Christopher stan.
I totally get why he had to be unlikable. The premise of the show was single mom raising her daughter after walking away from her life, but I always felt like him and Lorelai had far better actual chemistry and Lorelai and Luke. 🤷🏾♀️
The show is nostalgic and brings back the feeling of a simpler time on and the theme song makes me feel like a kid again. 🥰
The theme song n the "golden hour" look os so nostalgic n beautiful for me.
Christopher 100% had his faults, but I always loved him. His chemistry was insane with rory and Lorelei. I always thought he was the natural pairing for Lorelei as well. He could keep up with her, he supported her in everything, and when they were together he never made her question his love for her.
I don't hate Luke really, but they never felt long term enough I guess. He was in love with her for years, but never would commit. Most importantly he didn't stick up for Lorelei when April came into the picture.
Very true
Agree! I was so happy when Lorelei and Chris came together at the end (even though it didn’t last). They go along so well they are very similar and their past and memories connect them so well.
I love Luke but I never liked him with Lorelei. He’s too different
Completely agree!! I’m very much Team Christopher - he seemed to have the best chemistry with Lorelai and he wanted to be better for her. I’ve never forgiven Luke for the way he handled the April thing.
but Chris never would commit either
@@edengallagher1044 he definitely did after him and Lorelei got together after Luke and her spilt after the reconciliation marriage party. The reason it didn’t work out between Chris and Lorelei was that she was still in love with Luke. If there was no Luke she would’ve been with Chris. At least for longer :)
Why so much new Gilmore Girl content lately? Is something in the works?
Arent they making number 3?
there better be
it was the anniversary not that long ago
It's the 20th anniversary of Gilmore Girls.
@@gretasher4723 that’s crazy 😝
I’ve never seen a mans journey from boyhood into manhood portrayed so accurately than that of Christopher’s character on Gilmore Girls. At the beginning he’s just chasing things that he likes and feel good, without taking into account what his responsibilities are (this is represented by the motorbike). Then he makes the journey into manhood, much to the dismay of Lorelai he makes that journey with another women. He represents so many men who are just that little bit slower to grow up and stop fighting against the system. I loved his character and I enjoyed seeing him in the reboot. He may have not taught his daughter the things he wanted to but her definitely taught he a lot about life.
I loved both Luke AND Christopher. They both had a chemistry with Lorelei on a different level. Both were good to her both had good and bad timing with certain moments in her life, neither were perfect human beings but they sort of just fit with her. I don't know, I had a tough time for a while figuring out who to root for with those two! They were both attractive and could both be sweet and supportive but like most humans neither had it all figured out and messed up sometimes. It made for good TV, both were great possibilities for her and it made it fun to watch to see if she ultimately made a choice.
When i was a younger, watching gilmore girls, i was totally rooting for christopher and lorelai..probably cause their chemistry was great and hes hot
marszipan yes! Their chemistry was fantastic!!
He aged so well, he looks the same! 😍
Weird how much he really looks like Rory’s dad
LOL
Even though in the beginning Chris wasn't my favorite character, by the end of the show I kinda felt bad for him. He wasn't a bad guy. Yes, it took a while for him to get his life together and after inheriting all that money was the push he needed to be able to provide for his daughters... Christopher really loved Lorelei but their love was more of a friendship love. Kinda feels like him not having a big part in the reboot was a bit to harsh but since he was gone most of Rory's life, it makes sense that they went back to their old ways.
It's just such a great show and even though I didn't become a big fan until 2005 (their 4th/ 5th season), I'm happy to have had the opportunity to watch the show on TV one episode at a time.
Awww... seeing the photo of the whole cast just gave me such feels! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your continuous support
Rory and I are the exact same age. He just said this show is a classic...which it is. But now I feel old. 😳
I started watching when it was on tv, now I'm the same age as Lorelai (32)! It's crazy. Now I have a new perspective.
I just rewatch it too! I was about the same age as Rory then and now about the same age as Loralai. I'm also nowa mom so i definitely noticed totally different things this time around.
I started watching the show when I was 12 year old and am now 28!
wow you guys were ogs... i only got to see the show when i was 20 a few months ago
I am the same age as the character Rory, so it felt like I was growing up with her.
This show is so good to me bc let me live in a world where I’d love to live, sharing my time with people that I’d love to share. It’s kind of my ideal of life. In between hard work days, I set at my sofa and watched it as my little lovely moments. ❤️
Hello
I miss the show.
His first line is iconic!
"Nice shirt! Take it off!" Lol
Just the fact, that 3 weeks after release of this video with supporting actor of a show that ended 15 years ago shows how much impact it still has. Love ❤️.
Thank you for viewing and commenting
It is my belief that Christopher was the one and only true partner for Lorelei. They even tell it to each other on one episode. They will always love each other. I think the problem with Chris is that he never got over the regret and the guilt of not being there for his daughter as she grew up.
Diaagree.
I wanted Lorelei and Chris together b/c those two actors had fantastic chemistry! I thought then and still think that there was very little chemistry with Lauren and Scott. Also loved the chemistry with Lauren and Scott Cohen!
they should do a stars hollow spin off. same charming town, same sweetness, same writers, new characters
They tried to do a Jessie spin-off, script was written and Amy was onboard, but CW turned it down because it was too expensive as they wanted to shoot on location at Venice Beach
@@kwfown That would have been great actually!
@@Estelle738l that’s what the episode where Jess leaves was supposed to be. When they actually show him in Cali was supposed to be a beginning to a new series
That would honestly be amazing. As long as it was better than the revival. But honestly, yeah. The original characters can maybe be occasional background characters, someone else could even be running Luke’s honestly. It could be truly amazing
Noooo, that would ruin it
We need more Gilmore girls
Love girlmore girls ❤️💖2020
I absolutely love your acting and feel we all should be seeing you a lot more often on screens 😘 LOVED Christopher!! 💖
I watched gilmore girls two years ago and my heart still belongs to chris
I’m in the minority but I always loved Christopher.
I feel similarly. 💜
Me too!!!
Nah. Team Luke team Luke teeeam Luke!!!! Lol
Maezin same! I kinda wanted him to end up with lorali
Ditto
I think ASP did a great job casting these characters not just based off of their acting skills and personality, but on how a character would look based off of their environment and circumstances of their life.
For example: Michel is very clean cut and moves very sharply and clean. Suki is very reckless and fun and Melissa McCarthy can capture her wacky character just by using simple facial expressions. I love especially how Alexis Bledel looks like she could be Lauren Graham and David Stucliffe’s daughter. (Same hair color, complexion, Lauren and Alexis’s eyes, the way they move, etc.)
Sookie*
Oop thank you, I did mean Sookie lol (I’ve been watching too much ATLA)
He is a lovely guy.
He really isn't. He supported the terrorists who invaded the Capitol. During the original run of GG, he had a habit of stalking girls on social media sites. He is a sleazebag all the way around.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact these were uploaded a week ago gives me life
Same samee
I forgot how blue David's eyes are, no wonder "Rory" had blue eyes, with both parents having blue eyes, she didn't stand a chance !!
He is still so hot! I really hate that he and Rory seem to be estranged again in the revival after they became super close in the later seasons...
It made zero sense honestly. They made progress in season 6 and 7, so their relationship having completely fallen apart was odd
@@vondonstrut218 They made progress but they were NEVER super close.
Rory and Chris wasnt that close.
He really has a smiling face (or eyes?) 😀👍
I always wanted Christopher to be the end game cuz it was so perfect and they fit.
Oh really
I didnr he was a flake. I loved Luke with her listened and underatood Lorelai way better then any other 3 guys Lorelai dated.
Este actor es guapisiiimooo
WOW, he looks GREAT!
Love his interview, also loved Christopher and can't decide until today whether I feel Luke or Chris is the one for Lorelai!♥️ Chris and Loreai just had such a long story together and it was magical between them! You could feel the magic through the screen. They knew each other so well. So still cant decide. Also Chris was hot! And as David said it in the interview, they all killed it in the original! Also Chris killed it!
Es la 4 vez que veo toda la serie pero nunca me canso esto marco mi infancia i love girlmore girls
I’m SOBBING
I’m new to watching the Gilmore girls. I love it!
I like all the characters.
Love see a new come back for girlmore girls see how was roly baby belong to in the end 2020
One of the MOST HANDSOME MAN alive! 😍😍😍💕💕💕🤗😘❤️❤️❤️
Love
There are so many people in this comment section blinded by Christopher’s looks and charming ness to realise that he was never a good father
He wasn’t a father at all in the beginning, but, I believe he did actually become a good one. However, we was a terrible partner, at least for Lorelai
@@ellenm2509 he didn't become a good father to Gigi it took slot of work to get there
Or husband
Yay! Panama! Great character on Gilore Girls
Divid did a Great job.He was Christopher.II do agree with him that the scenes between Lauren and Kelly Bishop were amazing. All the actors in that show I enjoyed immensely. Sean gunn(kirk)anyone
sweet !!
I thought Christopher was such an important presence for Rory in character development.
You mean like for her future choices in terms of her grandparents and her education? Yeah she was a turning back to what her mother sadly dismissed altogether.
Are we watching the same show. Chris was never in Rory's life
@@lauriecarson6483 Exactly my point. I didn't necessarily mean it was a positive presence.
Luke is endgame but I always really liked him too. He matured quite well in the end.
Chris did not matured
“actor David Sutcliffe says he didn't storm U.S. Capitol, but praises 'Patriot' who did”
OMG I am from Panamá no one really mentions my country EVER !
I loved Chris’ journey and development over the whole show and movies. Initially he was like many young men are and it’s so cool to see him finding his way and growing into this responsible man. I prefer Luke for Lorelei but I was so happy when Lorelei and him got together (towards the end). It was so cute to see their connection because of their memories that will forever connect them
What journey and development
I just watched the RUclips video of Sting singing "All for love" along with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart. Sting's profile seems amazingly like "Christopher" 's!
I've always wanted Luke and Loreili to be TOGETHER ❤️!!!!!!!
I think people attack Christopher a little too much. Yes, he was inmature and had his flaws and messed up A LOT haha but I think he always had a good intention on whatever he did. I really wanted him and Lorelai to work out but you know, not everything is perfect haha
Oh really
Your so wrong if he really wanted the marriage to work out he wouldnt have ignored Lorelais calls and be there for her and Rory.
Did they interview the entire cast?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
as im watching david talk about his character, i keep picturing it as a dad talking about his son HAHAH
Thank you for viewing and commenting
Fun fact Chris Pine auditioned for the role of Christopher Hayden.... I could see him as Christopher Hayden.
I can see it too, but he was too young back then.
he never aged 😳
Winona Ryder ...
Yes, he did
He did, but it suits him
This man did NOT age
I watched this interview and the next episode I watched Rory also said "Gilmore Girls" in a line. It was some episode around the first half of the 5th season I think.
“Oh my if it isn’t those lovely Gilmore Girls!”
If I mistake and he didn't say he was the only he said he was the first to say Gilmore Girls
I rewatched it . Yeah he said he was the only person to say it.
Absolutely despised the character, loved this interview and now I love the actor David🖤
He's not the only one to say "Gilmore girls" on the show. Rory does, definitely.
only in year in a life
@@brookemuzzatti9710 season 6, episode 11
Rory says it when they get back from Atlantic City after her 21st birthday as they walk into Luke's
i know the gilmore guys (dean, jess, logan, tristan, marty, etc.) should be the ones i keep my eyes on as im young and all but i couldn't help but stray a bit to eye on rory's dad. he was dreamy lol
😍😘💜👍
Luke and Lorelai FOREVER!!!!!!
Anyone else think he looks like William H Macy now? 😂
Oh really, what could be your reason for saying that😮
I always wanted Lorelai to get back with Chris. It was so perfect.. Then the writers had to screw it up. They had such great chemistry. Luke is great but her connection with Chris was amazing.
How where they perfect
I’m getting Frank Gallagher vibes here
PLEASSEEE
Look, it's Hums while he pees guy :P
😂😂😂
I rooted for Chris and Lorelai cuz they knew each other so well💔but Luke was the right fit
Thank you for your continuous support
They had hisory but they where so worng. Chris always lived in the past. Luke was a better fit for Lorelai.
he really had some growing up to do in the show. i feel like he kinda took advantage of Lorelei when she was at her weakest. but then again lorelei would always run to him anyway
Thank you for viewing and commenting
Not to mention the whole blaming Lorelai for his own insecurities about her past relationship
I love Chris in the show Lorelai was crazy to let this one go and not go through with the wedding/ marriage.
No Lorelai was right to not go through with the wedding. He was the worst partner for him. He couldn't show up at the hospital when Rory and Lorelai needed him the most.
Team Christopher for life
Chris and Lorelei were always endgame in my heart.
The music audio is so off putting in the background :(
Thank you for viewing and commenting
I was always rooting for Chris and Lorelei....I loved them together.
Dave said "RORY" was fun to work with ...I think he forgot to say Alexis 😊👌🏻❤
Whole video
#teamchristopher always and the netflix eps. just confirmed my worries about luke with lorelai. chris and lorelai had great chemistry and communication; it was even interesting to watch them fight. Their temperament, shared interests and transparency w/each other made them the better match and would have pushed each other to grow (even if i loved luke and he's objectively speaking the better man)
Chris was a flake Lorelai could bever rely on hin and he couldn't even be there for Lorelai and Rory when they needsd him thd most. Luke dropped everything to make sure Lorelai and Rory needed anything when Richard was in ths hospital. Where was Chris at.
@@lauriecarson6483 thats exactly why i said i love luke and he's objectively the better man. However Lorelai is not a prize to be had by the man w the longest laundry list of quality's, she should be with whomever is the better fit to her own personality, as an equally flawed, quirky character; Luke acts often as her enabler, by doing everything she wants. Chris grew out of being a flake; by the end of the show he had been a single parent himself for a time and stepped up to support Rory and unburden Lorelai and be a good partner; whereas Luke and Lorelai still had the same communication issues in the revival, with the same passive aggressive coping mechanisms and somewhat arrested development in their life plans (e.g. feeling unfulfilled, having off-limit topics as if they still had separate lives and not having "decided" whether they wanted kids in their late 40's)
@@eva44940 reread what you wrote cause you said you had worries about Luke and Lorelai. And yoh go on about Chris and Lorleai how you love them together
I despised Christopher’s character just based on the fact he was hardly there for Rory as a father and even when he was present, it was though he wasn’t present. His character also let down Rory and Lorelai way too many times and expected everyone to just fall at his feet but now I’m more accepting of Christopher’s character but I still don’t like his character fully so🤷🏻♀️
I was always team Christopher. 😢
same :(
Thank you for your continuous support
lorelie and luke seemed like brother and sister relationship.. chris and lorelai were the best. they had that deep romance.
no Chris and Lorelai wanst the best. Chris couldn't be there for Lorelai when she needed him the most. Luke dropped everything and went to check on Lorelai and Rory. Chris couldn't be bothered.
He could still get it
É engraçado ouvir que o Christopher era irresponsável. Sendo que ele propôs casamento a Lorelay e ela não quis. E ele é quem levou a fama.
What fame he didnt do anything special.
@@lauriecarson6483 Ela sempre jogava na cara dele que ele não criou a filha. Mas todos sabem que ela não quis o casamento, ele sim. Vai por mim. Assisti 22 vezes essa série. Já posso dizer que sei as falas 🤣
Chris didnt want to get married he only said it cause thats what both parents wanted. Chris was immature and who was the one who took responsiblity for there action oh yeah Lorelai did. Lorelai is the one who raised Rory without Chris's help.
@@lauriecarson6483 Lamento, mas em algumas das brigas entre Lorelai vs Richard vs Chris. Ela diz que não estava preparada. Ou o pai a culpa por Rore, não ter um pai. Da vigésima vez que vi a série parei de contar
He hasn't aged a day since Gilmore Girls.
Chris was so hot! Personally, not digging the beard. But he’s still handsome, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed.
does he have a 'dorian gray' portrait in his attic? why is he the only one not aging? :)
Christopher and Lorelei should have ended up together. Luke was such a grump.
i always wanted chris and lor to end up together. I just dont think Luke was that great he always had double standards with lorelai on why he would get mad at her but also keep secrets but god forbid lorelai get mad at luke for being mad or irrational or secrative. I think its just because Chris and Lorelai had such great chemistry it felt too real that they needed to be together
frankly they all had their flaws. luke was a good guy so was chris. but what if she married max? r stayed w/ jason? or that guy from her business classes who was young? why did her and luke wait so long to tie the knot?
Are we watching the same show. Who comes and goes and make promises he cant keep oh yeah thats Chris
I’ve always felt that Christopher had better chemistry with Lorelai than Luke
You seems to have a positive energy which I’m kind of attracted to😮
They may have chemiatry but thats all they had. Chris lived in the past and never really understood Lorelai. He wasnt very reliable either. Luke kept Lorelai grounded and understood her more.
I always thought he suited Lorelei the best
Not at all.
Agreed!
Luke was hest for her. Chris wasn't strong enough. However, I don't feel Lorelai was good enough for Luke. He was extra special and deserved someone less selfish.
@@Estelle738l I thought Luke was a huge stick in the mud and a total curmudgeon. Then, he totally lied to Lorelai about April. Just my opinion about a bunch of fictional characters.
Luke was until they messed his character up by lying to her about April and then postponing the wedding. Seemed totally out of character for a man that waited and waited for her
