Whoever has been in charge of pairing these actors should definitely get a raise cuz all of these pairings so far have been entertaining to watch and I love how each pair has some kind of through line. With Theo and Brett it’s lovely to know that both have other interests other than acting. I mean it goes without saying that both of these gentlemen are handsome and that both are great in their respective shows.
"We love each other. We love each other." If all the men of the world could so comfortably state their honest and true affection for others as Brett does, humanity would be so much better off. Obviously, that's part of what makes Ted Lasso so great; men have feelings and love each other and talk about it and it's SO GOOD.
I so want to watch the bloopers when Phil and Brett had to film this scene in season 3, where Jamie breaks down crying and clings onto Roy. imagine the many takes it took!
@@drake7993 Taste is subjective. I'm used to watching football (or soccer) as you probably call it). So it was a bit hard to divorce myself from the totally unrealistic aspects of their portrayal of the sport
@@athuldas4959 Wow, what's it like to be SO incredibly wrong about something? Wouldn't know, because the show was solidly fantastic from start to finish. And I love football, too. This wasn't a sport documentary, it was a character study. And they nailed it.
Theo James has always been an exceptional actor - he deserves a big lead in something that really shows off his skills. Brett is a phenomenal writer as well as a lovely actor. Great pairing!
I thought he was excellent in The White Lotus and Sandinton, but unfortunately he hasn't had many other roles that stand out much. Really needs a new agent or to try something totally out of the box for him. I'd love to see him do something very unconventional and weird.
@@zeetuslupeedusI’m cautiously optimistic about him in The Gentlemen series especially since its Netflix. But that won’t premiere until next year. With the writers strike I wonder what the status of his next project is - if it was already in pre-production or not.
@@zeetuslupeedus He was excellent in Archive as well, which is an under-rated movie came out in lockdown. Gentlemen and the upcoming Stephen King movie should highlight his acting more
Totally down a Theo James rabbit hole after watching him in The Gentlemen on Netflix and had NO IDEA he produced Pepsi, Where’s my Jet?! That’s so wild. Here’s hoping he wants to stay in Guy Ritchie’s world a while longer bc it’s such a great show and he really shines in it.
Omg.....i saw the names and not gonna lie I freaked....I swear whoever is doing these damn pairings is a blessing for us all because they are just giving us gem after gem Actors on Actors I literally have not been this excited for the next one to come out like another episode of a series soooooooo great.... Theo and Brett has such a great vibe together wow
6:05 I think Brett hit the nail on the head regarding Theo’s character in The White Lotus. Listening to Theo James speak is really interesting. The insight he has into whatever the topic of discussion is is pretty fascinating. I guess that’s his philosophy degree coming through. I may have to watch Ted Lasso now 😁
Theo doesn’t get enough credit. Seen him in other stuff but after White Lotus, I was like, I don’t know if I’ll be able to view him as not a d-bag after this. He played that character so well.
The White Lotus was the first thing I ever saw him in and I think it ruined him for me lol. His performance was SO good and so authentic that I genuinely can't trust him. I even thought he was American
Hearing how everything worked out, to how much Ford loved the script for shrinking and Brett not wanting to cancel on 40 fans in so wholesome! Also loved the insight into the dichotomy behind characters in the white lotus🤍
This was fantastic. I don't know how Variety keeps doing it but all the sessions/parings this year have been just phenomena. Really, really like Bret, and Theo has evoled into a terrific actor. This went by like it was 10 minutes. Amazing industry insights from both.
I can listen to Theo James all day long and his looks aren’t so bad either! The Harrison Ford story is classic! He’s so funny in Shrinking & it’s a great show! Can’t wait for Season 2❤
This is one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. It’s so natural and they honestly seemed interested in one another and not acting like they were interested. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes these seem very PR staged.
I loved this one from start to finish, both of them are so talented and I was surprised to see the pairing but really enjoyed how easily the conversation flowed, also was very insightful for us as viewers into the minds of actors and their different styles
Been looking forward to this. I’ve listened to Brett’s podcast for awhile. He’s so good in conversation. Listens well, very natural, responds thoughtfully. Just seems like someone one would enjoy talking with. A great communicator on top of being a good actor and writer.
I think there are some humans who are just divinely favored by the universe…kissed on the forehead by destiny, if you will. He is definitely one of those who are blessed this way!
I'd be willing to bet a fair amount of money that the show Brett was talking about where the second season there was no love for a particular character was Euphoria and the character was Kat.
Harrison Ford-esque. Reminds me of Bill Lawrence's writing for Doctor Cox on Scrubs; he wanted a John C McGinley-esque actor and got exactly him. Bill doesn't miss!!
Very good selection of guests this excellent selection gives the viewer the impression of something they can say about me too I would do the same writer and actor and both gentlemen deserve something really big that would show the wide range of their extraordinary talent the tenth muse can be proud of their charges may not be known to the wider public, but that can change at any time, the instinct of fame, as you can see, is not a stranger to them, so the good that is about to happen is almost certain.
Now that the casting for Superman: Legacy has been confirmed and having watched this interview, Theo James is without a doubt Lex Luthor. He is a very skilled actor who takes his roles seriously and holds your attention, and he carries a degree of authority with him. He has the baritone to deliver the lines perfectly and he will eat up the screen like he did in The White Lotus S2. He is also charming/charismatic which the character has too..yep, if Gunn really wants talent and appeal in the movie he should tap Theo. I've seen him in How It Ends and he does Hector's voice in Castlevania. The man is consistent with everything he touches. His performance would be likened to that of a Vincent D'Onofrio who played Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin on DareDevil. He can definitely give you that really evil, manipulative and megalomanic, fear driven performance especially if Gunnn wrote it that way. Nicholas Hoult would be great but Theo would be perfection if you want the public to really take the character serious. Shave his head and he would slay🔥🔥🔥🔥.
all i care about is relationships! all life is a relationship to.....fill in the blank. Why I am a Communications and Relationship Consultant for 36 years!! My 'why' is ending relationship pain! There's so much to know and learn and observe and talk on!
I was always wondering how the actors not fall in love with each other, when they are preparing for the role of a couple. Like, I watch Theo and I am already in love, haha.

100%
Couldn’t agree more!!
Absolutely. The pairings are spot on. I hope they've secured a job for life.
Totally agree!

First season was great, but it dropped off after that

He got it in Time Travelers Wife and then HBO fucked us all
@@zeetuslupeedus He was great in the Time traveler's wife ! loved this serie so much
Who’s here after watching Theo James in The Gentleman?
theyre so polite and eager to actually hear each others answers. this is probably one of the most informative and in-depth actors on actors I've seen
I couldn't have loved this more. Two articulate, curious and open men talking about their trade with genuine mutual respect. So classy

The way Brett was so quick to talk about Phil Dunster is so healing to me
i love watching the rise of theo james. got obsessed with him as a teenager watching divergent and am still obsessed with him now.
You and me both! I still swoon all these years later 🥰
Theo is such a perfect specimen of a man, his face, body and kind heart 💜
Omg.....i saw the names and not gonna lie I freaked....I swear whoever is doing these damn pairings is a blessing for us all because they are just giving us gem after gem Actors on Actors I literally have not been this excited for the next one to come out like another episode of a series soooooooo great....
Theo and Brett has such a great vibe together wow
“Eh-heh heh heh” “Uh- hah hah hah” 😂 I love them and their low, raspy British voices with their charismatic charm
What a dynamic duo. Love both their work.
AAAAAAAAAAAA I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS PAIRING! I love them ❤

I may have to watch Ted Lasso now 😁
Theo was exceptional in Time Travelers Wife, simply amazing and it saddens me they had the nerve to cancel it.
Just like TPTB canceled "Golden Boy" way back when...rude!
I’m still not over it
He's here, he's there, he's every fuckin where, Roy Kent Roy Kent! 🎶
Theo doesn’t get enough credit. Seen him in other stuff but after White Lotus, I was like, I don’t know if I’ll be able to view him as not a d-bag after this. He played that character so well.

I honestly did not expect these two to to have such a conversation. Wish they'd do a movie together!
Love this conversation between two articulate men.
Theo James is so dreamy
This was fantastic. I don't know how Variety keeps doing it but all the sessions/parings this year have been just phenomena. Really, really like Bret, and Theo has evoled into a terrific actor. This went by like it was 10 minutes. Amazing industry insights from both.
I can listen to Theo James all day long and his looks aren’t so bad either! The Harrison Ford story is classic! He’s so funny in Shrinking & it’s a great show! Can’t wait for Season 2❤
Just by listening to Theo James talk, ones vocabulary can improve great deal! He's very well read n an intellectual person!
Improves libido too ✔️✔️
Just watched Ted Lasso for the first time and am now binging Brett Goldstein content! Right on time
Enjoy! Laugh, cry, be inspired. It's so effing good.
@@jennifermeyer704already finished it! Did all of the above 😂
Me too!!
You should watch Shrinking next. Excellent! I’m a Ted Lasso fanatic.
they have such a good dynamic. enjoyed every minute of this.
What a brilliant interview, so interesting and such intelligent, down to earth guys.
Amazing! I've been a fan of Brett for so many years, I first saw him as a hilarious stand up, this huge success couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
brett goldsteins role in shrinking has been emotioanl and amazing wow funny to even hear that in the beginning
This is one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. It’s so natural and they honestly seemed interested in one another and not acting like they were interested. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes these seem very PR staged.
Harrison Ford was amazing on Shrinking. Definitely my top 3 shows of 2023
I loved this interview. Actors ask actors the best questions.
Great flow,
Great chemistry, easiest to watch, pleasure to listen to. Great pairing !
THANK YOU TO WHOEVER MADE THIS PAIRING
I loved this one from start to finish, both of them are so talented and I was surprised to see the pairing but really enjoyed how easily the conversation flowed, also was very insightful for us as viewers into the minds of actors and their different styles
Battle of the brows over here and I don't hate it😅
It's funny, they are sussing each other out at the start and then you see them slowly start to warm up as they realise they like each other as people.
Variety’s Actors on Actors TV 2023 has been the very best. Literally the pairings are 💯
i simply cant decide who is more handsome...
He's here! He's there!
HE'S EVERY FUCKING WHERE!
Am i the only one that knows Theo from his excellent voice acting as Hector in Castlevania? I love his voice so much..
You're not alone- that's how I got to know his work
This pairing is amazing! Such an easy watch!
Theo James is like an unproblematic, better version of James Franco (better actor as well).
Always has been, always will be 😄
Been looking forward to this. I’ve listened to Brett’s podcast for awhile. He’s so good in conversation. Listens well, very natural, responds thoughtfully. Just seems like someone one would enjoy talking with. A great communicator on top of being a good actor and writer.

Both brilliant at their game, what a great interview 😍
Love the shout out to "Franny", it's a great film and one of Theo's best performances.
Wonderful interview. I love Brett Goldstein so much! And Theo James is total eye candy 🥵
Brett does it for me. Hos smile and laugh is so genuine and lovely.
The perfect pairing - thanks, Variety ❤
Variety team is killing it with this series 💯
i really wanted to watch this but my screen melted from all'a the hotness lawwwwwdhammercies 🔥🔥🔥
Omg Brett’s natural voice!!
These pairings!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!
This is a treat.
Whoever is selecting the pairings for this go-around deserves a fucking medal and a raise.
I love Brett Goldstein!
These combos have been unreal lately
Brett Goldstein is friggin hilarious in Ted Lasso
Two daddies stand before me
🤣🤣
I can’t believe they did not talk about Aubrey Plaza’s character not watching Ted Lasso on The White Lotus
OMG I forgot that would have been funny
Theo was excellent in The Time Travellers Wife. So disappointed that didn't get a second season.
I know 😢
This was amazing! I'm obsessed with these Actors on Actors series but also blown away with how fast you guys keep posting a new one! 😍
If I don't look at this it just sounds like another episode of Films to be Buried With
I'd be willing to bet a fair amount of money that the show Brett was talking about where the second season there was no love for a particular character was Euphoria and the character was Kat.
It definitely could be
Omg!! Love this pairing!
Roy and Jamie scenes are life!
this is like the best thing ever
He's here! He's there! He's every-f-ing-where! Roy Kent!
What a pair! I need them to work together now 😍
This was a really great conversation
OH MY GAAAAWWWDDDD
I did not want that to stop.
Came for the hotties, stayed for the intelligent convo
Very enjoyable session! Bravo 🎉
Love these two so much
Theo ❤️
Shrinking is Ford's best acting ever
Harrison Ford-esque. Reminds me of Bill Lawrence's writing for Doctor Cox on Scrubs; he wanted a John C McGinley-esque actor and got exactly him. Bill doesn't miss!!
After watching this conversation, I’m 30% more British and 20% less straight.
😂😂😂
😂😅😂
I just Adore Brett , I've never watched Theo James but he also seems pretty awesome
these two seem to have a good vibe with each other - Get Theo on Ted Lasso if theres any more series coming
This was a match I didn't know I needed.
I love them both
I ain’t gonna lie their voices are hot AF…. I could listen to them all day
I always forget Theo is British lol
As the great Lizzo once said, "I've been WAITING for this one"

OMG MY TWO CRUSHES IN ONE ROOM
I can’t deal with this it’s perfect 😂
by the end of this video i spontaneously developed a womb & i'm now 7 months pregnant w theo's baby.
Same sister🤣
this is excellent
I was always wondering how the actors not fall in love with each other, when they are preparing for the role of a couple. Like, I watch Theo and I am already in love, haha.
Oh Theo, Theo! 😋
well done gentlemen!
You are so handsome Theo ❤❤❤
Brett Goldstein sounds like a witness protection name
Love Theo he’s so fine ❤❤❤ so amazing
