She likes to emphasize she's proud Ethiopian-Irish. In Ireland, we are twice proud for Ruth. And in fairness, her career blossomed in our neighboring UK.
Love Hate launched her career. But yes many irish actors end up in London in England. But its the exact same in the US, Canadians flock to New York or LA for work. Love Hate deffo launched her
I love Ireland for the way they take pride in their people and claim them. I've seen Irish people say they love Ruth Negga and Bill Burr and as an Ethiopian this is similar to how we support each other, and I respect it
Too bad I didn’t see this until now. I’ve worked with Ruth for the last two years on Preacher and she is every bit a shy Irish girl who crosses herself before a tough scene and likes to have drinks with the crew - not just the ruling classes but the rank n file workers too. I can’t begin to describe the amazingly hard work and crazy fun we had in New Orleans. She is absolutely who she is - honest, professional, incredibly hard working and real as fuck.
I totally get what she's saying. I'm pretty introverted but I have no issue speaking in front of a crowd. Get me at a social event though and I'm a total wall flower...you couldn't pay me enough to "work the party". I think it's because public speaking/acting, is a controlled environment where you are expected to play a roll as opposed to being yourself off the cuff. As an introvert, I don't like all the attention on "me"; but I don't mind when the attention is on my scripted performance. It's a weird conundrum.
Introverts talk in the most enchanting way... take a look at her eyes and the way she’s searching for the words as if they’re floating around in the air. Slow and deliberate as she’s trying to put into language her experience... a very “esoteric” feeling as she explains
Ruth is quite an inspiration, especially to those who've suffered being introverts and find it difficult to adapt to talking and connecting with others.
Being an introvert and being unable to talk or connect to others, as well as being shy or having a hard time in social situations are completely different things tho.
you can always train yourself to become more extroverted. it just takes courage to stand up for yourself. I learned it too. Most people are not introverted, but just shy.
Her name "Negga" in Amharic, Ethiopian language, means morning. She is a fascinating Ethio-Irish actress. Wishing you all the best in your acting career dear.
For those who care to know: she is part Ethiopian and her last name Negga (pronounced NEHga for non-speakers, with soft g sound, according to her) roughly translates to "it has dawned" and implies the rise of the sun and/or the morning. It's a beautiful name so seeing all these jokes is unfortunate
Correction: Introverted DOES NOT MEAN SHY. Many, if not most, shy people may be introverted, but not all introverts are shy. I'm introverted but not shy. Introversion simply means that you recharge your energy by being alone rather than by socializing...you're comfortable by yourself and enjoy being alone. It doesn't mean you find it hard to talk to or connect with people, or that you dislike doing so, or anything of the sort. Introverts don't 'suffer' any more than extroverts. Shyness and social anxiety/fear are different, although easily mistaken by others. (Just like how "antisocial" doesn't actually mean that you don't like socializing..) Oh, that said, yes...shy people can certainly act. Sometimes it's easier for them to "be" somebody else. If they have a gift for acting, for accessing and expressing the emotions of another, they'll probably wish to do so even though we tend to think of attention-seeking, show-offy types as being the ones to "seek the spotlight."
Precisely. Also, since introverts spend so much time in their own head they develop an incredible imagination which is why they have a gift for acting in the first place.
I know it's a cliche, but when I see her in interviews like this, it really highlights how amazing she is in her characters. You'd never imagine such a reserved person could create Tulip. It really frustrates me that she's yet to be nominated for an Emmy for "Preacher". She makes that show in my opinion.
It’s very relatable, I am a very shy person and a introverted extrovert but I was so drawn to acting because I get attention but there is action and cut but it also takes me out of my comfort zone!! ❤️❤️❤️
She is sooooo incredibly different from the characters she plays which says so much about about her talents in acting. Love her even more after watching this.
I swear after a variety of roles she played, seeing her true self is the most amazing thing! I first knew her from Agents of SHIELD Season 1 where she played a spoiled American lady, but Ruth here is so wonderfully weird I love her even more
I like her. She is so sophisticated and well spoken and humorous as well. Want to see her in more films. As a regular actor not just biography type stuff.
I love ruth. Her portrayal of mildred loving in"loving" was my highlight of the movie and tulip in "preacher" was always my favourite character. I love the show in general as well because (to me) it seems like a show modern christians enjoy.
She's definitely good at accents in the movie "Loving" and the series "Preacher", it's always a surprise when you hear them talking a southern accent then reverting back to their british accent.
Just to show you how good of an actress she is , I watched an episode of Preacher and it was the exact one they showed here and I had absolutely NO CLUE she wasn't a Southern speaking American woman.
wow. seeing her true self here, I can proudly say she is an AMAZING actress and my new idol. holy moly, watching her in Preacher, I would have never thought she was anything but American. she went all out for that character, that role was the complete oposite of her and I am amazed at her skills.
Wow! Thanks for putting that out there about shy people. I think we're born like that and spend a lifetime trying to overcome it,. I totally get it. That's me. Been working on it since kindergarten and yes I'm 47 years old.
Preacher is one of those shows that you cannot expect what you're getting out of it and how much weirder is it gonna get, unless you've read the comics then I say good on you but don't you dare spoil it for the rest of us.
She likes to emphasize she's proud Ethiopian-Irish. In Ireland, we are twice proud for Ruth. And in fairness, her career blossomed in our neighboring UK.
What about love Hate, her and Darren, Oscar winning rom com, we definitely punch above our weigh in producing great actors
Love Hate launched her career.
But yes many irish actors end up in London in England. But its the exact same in the US, Canadians flock to New York or LA for work. Love Hate deffo launched her
I love Ruth and I'm British. She was fantastic portraying Shirley Bassey.
I love Ireland for the way they take pride in their people and claim them. I've seen Irish people say they love Ruth Negga and Bill Burr and as an Ethiopian this is similar to how we support each other, and I respect it

She comes across as a very nice young woman. I had no idea she'd grown up in Limmerick, Ireland. She has such a lovely voice!
can't believe how she changed her voice and accents for the various roles she played. a true professional
She sounds like an awesome person to know!
Do you really know her or are you trolling for likes?
I was a cinematographer on Preacher for two seasons. So yeah I know her.
I totally get what she's saying. I'm pretty introverted but I have no issue speaking in front of a crowd. Get me at a social event though and I'm a total wall flower...you couldn't pay me enough to "work the party".

tizodd6 great explanation
tizodd6 you just explained my life. That is part of the reason why I started making RUclips videos.
That's because introversion and shyness are two different things.
this is me as well. Though I could also do off-the-cuff performances.
*Well, atleast she's not awkwardly shy like i am..I think i'm just gonna give up on my dream of becoming an actress.*

'suffered' introversion? no no no, suffered prejudice maybe, but introversion is nothing special, half of the population are introverts
introversion and shyness, though it sounds like you’re describing social anxiety are two DIFFERENT things
you can always train yourself to become more extroverted. it just takes courage to stand up for yourself. I learned it too. Most people are not introverted, but just shy.
AllAboutTheAFC introversion and shyness are two different things but not mutually exclusive. I’m both.
She’s adorably shy. ☺️
u just wanna hug her like a puppy ...
@@rolihlala4333 true
She's so beautiful and unique, Ethiopian-Irish wow
I wish I could capture her. And keep her in a dungeon.
m335 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bella Fallaaa
Your standards are pretty low. Shes not very good looking. I feel sorry for you!
Captain Picard - Jean Luc! When did you become a troll?
Captain Picard shut up
She owns her shyness, very inspiring.
Just came here to say she is one of the most beautiful actresses working today. Quite talented to, I've loved everything I've seen her in.
She is astonishingly captivating.
Ruth is an amazing actress. Don't underestimate introverts. They can surprise you.
She’s outstanding, her being an introvert gives me hope I’ll be able to excel in a career one day. much love.
That lovely soft Irish lilt that slips into the ends of words! Always attractive to my ear.
"Ruth Negga"
"YO WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!!"
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂

I admire the honesty in her self awareness.
Ireland has amazing talent

Moontune Zed well said, thanks
Thank you. I love her. Want to talk about her all the time.
so it’s like necka right

a girl has no name Agreed!

Ruth Negga is one of the most beautiful human beings I've ever seen
I really like her acting. And She reminds me of the old, glamorous actresses of the 40's. She's beautiful and very talented.
What a beautiful woman.
she should be my prisoner
Her smile is the most captivating thing... ♥.♥
I became a fan of her as soon as Tulip killed the guy by shoving corn down his throat.
She is beautiful.
Her hair looks so good, damn
Loved her in both Preacher and Agents of SHIELD
Ruth is so cool, so unassuming and seemingly timid, yet plays some amazing kick-ass characters! She's is amazing.
She’s so lovely and talented
moevervaet616
She really deserved the Oscar for Loving-her portrayal was so incredibly nuanced and thoroughly beautiful.
What an utterly charming and fascinating person.
She’s very elegant and charming
I haven’t noticed this actress before, but she seems like a very intelligent, wise, introspective person. And she is beautiful too!
It’s very relatable, I am a very shy person and a introverted extrovert but I was so drawn to acting because I get attention but there is action and cut but it also takes me out of my comfort zone!! ❤️❤️❤️
She so goddamn fine... Sheesh..
@@captainpicard9460 nah, you just have a bad taste, my dude.

@@ShitOwl are you okay?
She’s Ethiopian 🇪🇹 BLESS UP !!!
lol half Ethiopian
She’s irish! Wooo
She doesn't look Irish at all. She got that Ethiopian DNA, but she's half Irish too.
She is Irish ok that's where she is from ok
@@nahomb2784 lmaooo stop. she certainly looks more caucasian that ethiopian.
She is sooooo incredibly different from the characters she plays which says so much about about her talents in acting. Love her even more after watching this.
I wouldn't want to say her full name in public
Ruth is so humble and cool.
She sounds both English and Irish.
Kind of Midwest American, too. She must have had a fun life so far.
She is Irish
Out of the 7 top billed cast of Preacher 5 are British, one is Irish and one American.
Shes from Limerick, Ireland.
Yeah it's odd, in places she sounds Irish and then she'll say a sentence in a British accent. Maybe she moves around a lot?
I swear after a variety of roles she played, seeing her true self is the most amazing thing! I first knew her from Agents of SHIELD Season 1 where she played a spoiled American lady, but Ruth here is so wonderfully weird I love her even more
What a great interviewer. Thanks Stephen and well done Ruth.
She´s mesmerizing. Loved her in AoS!
What a charming lady
She is stunning. Wow
My gosh, that's a beautiful woman!
Preacher is an amazing series, you should watch it! It's crazy!
I like her. She is so sophisticated and well spoken and humorous as well. Want to see her in more films. As a regular actor not just biography type stuff.
Beautiful.
Man I'm in love with this sista.....and have been ever since I first saw her in Preacher.
Love her on Preacher, and S.H.I.E.L.D. , and well i just love her.
She is Angelic and quite enchanting to behold. I love her mind. Hearing her speak as the Actress is quite alluring.
Oh man, I cannot reconcile the difference between her natural demeanour and Tulip on Preacher. Could not be more opposite.
She's so freaking beautiful, and lovely, and talented.
She's from Limerick. Ireland.
Ethiopian father.
Wonderful actress.
I can't believe this is the same person who plays Tulip O Hare 😮. She's amazing
I know Ruth from Misfits! 😊
OfficialKingKhanAbz Wow I don't remember her in Misfits, I need to rewatch it
Me too. So she's acted with Joseph Gilgun AND Dominic Cooper before.
Sameeeeeee
Cannot wait for season 3. Her southern accent is absolutely amazing. I hope God isn't too ruff on her though.
I love ruth. Her portrayal of mildred loving in"loving" was my highlight of the movie and tulip in "preacher" was always my favourite character. I love the show in general as well because (to me) it seems like a show modern christians enjoy.

She Irish.... not British. No... its NOT the same thing... not even close.
Irish Accent... Ireland is not part of Great Britain
EP my bad, always thought she was british because of her mild way of talking...
no worries... that mild, somewhat melodic subtlety in her voice is actually a trait you should associate with the Irish accent. Be well.
Noob Of All Trades your name represents you well lol.....
Jk
Been a fan since WWZ and loved her in Marvel’s Agents of Shield.
I LOVED her in preacher. She is such a great woman. If you haven't, go see preacher series, you'll laugh your ass off
Big fan of her. She was the queen of Stormwind in the WoW movie. Also, is very awesome in Preacher!
She's such a princess
So beautiful.
My goodness.. she exudes Elegance.
I love Ruth so much
THANK YOU, RUTH! ✨👏🏾
The minute she said "I don't have a personality," I knew she was a Capricorn, lol.
I'm pretty sure she is a Taurus lmao, but could be a Capricorn ascendant or something like that
She was amazing in "Passing." Such a good movie that tackled such a hard reality in our past.
Seems like a very interesting ,intelligent , and amusing person to have a conversation with. Wish I could meat someone like her
Just to show you how good of an actress she is , I watched an episode of Preacher and it was the exact one they showed here and I had absolutely NO CLUE she wasn't a Southern speaking American woman.
So beautiful and exotic, and a talented actress! Ruth Negga is a treasure.
she's so lovley

She’s so sweet, great actress too!
I mean, I always liked her as an actress, but now I also love her as a person!
It’s a shame to say that her beautifully soft Irish accent was mocked when she went over from Ireland to London.
Omg. She is adorable
She reminds me so much of FKA Twigs. Truly a beautiful person, I can tell.
I freaking love Ruth Negga. So damn adorable and talented.
Her first appearance on Preacher was so badass that i became a fan instantly.
Bearer of the curse…
Wow! Thanks for putting that out there about shy people. I think we're born like that and spend a lifetime trying to overcome it,. I totally get it. That's me. Been working on it since kindergarten and yes I'm 47 years old.
Ruth is amazing! What a fantastic actress, love her accent and that dress is hilarious!
She is adorable and so beautiful
I saw her first in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I fell in love
FLOWERS! Been a fan of hers since Agents of SHIELD
Fell in love with her watching preacher
Preacher is one of those shows that you cannot expect what you're getting out of it and how much weirder is it gonna get, unless you've read the comics then I say good on you but don't you dare spoil it for the rest of us.
I just finished it yesterday, i LOVED every second of it
😂😂😂 God----Dog 😂😂😂
"That's a beautiful dress", i remember her character in agents of shield wearing certain dresses...
Damn, they cut the introduction. I really wanted to hear Stephen pronounce her name.
Same.
4:49
He says it at the end. It’s not that big a deal
He says her name at the end.
Negga, please...
I’m living for her hair.
I love her and I love preacher
I love her voice
Love you Ruth!!! the best
I still think there would be a market for Rutha Negga's Rutabagas! +The Josh Macuga Show
She did the voice of Shanalotte in Dark Souls 2?
*That gives me hope. cuz i'm deadly shy!!*
I love her style!
