I am so into this version of Paul Dano leaning into his stardom. The dude has been immensely talented for a very long time.

[@moegreene7940]

Paul Dano is so underrated it’s almost criminal

[@janetrobertson9199]

The more I watch Paul Dano the more delighted I get. He is able to talk about his choices so well. And Carey Mulligan is brilliant.

[@SixtineLys]

I was wondering why this interview was so interesting and immersive, and I think it's because it doesn't feel like an interview. It's a conversation between two (very talented) friends. And of course their conversation is fascinating.

[@montueswedthursfri]

agreed, wish more were like this!

[@samsong24]

Paul Dano is a natural at this. He switches between interviewer and interviewee with such ease.

[@alexcamacho4880]

Both of these actors should have at least one Oscar by now. Her for either An Education or Promising Young Woman and he for There Will Be Blood or Love and Mercy.

[@lous111]

Mulligan should have been nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Wildlife.

[@pb.j.1753]

💯

[@IowanMatthew683]

The fact that 2018 is now officially 5 YEARS AGO is absolutely mind-boggling. Jesus Christ.

[@themothermarkos]

I met Carey Mulligan once when I was 18 in London, just talked for a minute, but I was bowled over as I was obsessed with her performance in Shame. She is one of the loveliest people I've ever met.

[@dawg988]

paul dano my love

[@mialobo2312]

such a lovely interview. theyre so great!

[@jayzrat]

Paul Dano is one intense actor! Simply terrific!

[@trinaq]

I had no idea that Carey and Paul previously worked together. They seem to get on swimmingly offscreen, which is always great to see. Interestingly enough, both "Wildlife" and "The Fabelmans" feature a couple's marriage hitting the rocks.

[@filmtoppings]

Carey's not in The Fabelmans

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

@@filmtoppings No one said she was

[@spsull]

Paul worked with Carey on Wildlife as a director.

[@MALOSANMAKA13]

And they also worked on a new movie called "Spaceman" which will be released this year 👀

[@dawg988]

i am so in love with him

[@Nancy-sf2pl]

This is the most comfortable and unserious (in a good way😅) I’ve seen Carey. Love her personality

[@aninjaguardian]

I have so much respect for Paul Dano as a fellow cinephile. He knows his film
And I love Carrry Mulligan as well. I remember watching Steve McQueens Shame and first starting recognizing Mulligan in that role

[@mch12311969]

I adore Carey, she's brilliant and seems to be very humble.

[@davethebrave.]

i like how he uses the "old man" to reunite when he gave you

[@iAmSantiCruz]

my gosh i love these actors. so much respect

[@brookemartin6101]

I Love Carey’s sweet “oh no!” reaction when she finds out that Paul did not have his eyes closed at the beginning of the video.

[@joshuah9109]

This guy NOT being nominated for an Oscar for "THERE WILL BE BLOOD" is a CRIME!!

[@rmannayr2129]

THIS WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION!

[@Sarah3984]

Wildlife is so underrated.

[@victorialister5520]

Lovely to see two of the actors I most admire. Dano's Wildlife is a hugely underrated movie. I can also see Carey making the leap into production or direction in the future.

[@Mirrori]

How the f Paul Dano is almost 40 now.
I know that he has worked like two decades, but somehow i just tought that he is barely 30.

[@nms7872]

If that was the case, he would've been a literal child in there will be blood.

[@meshbis]

Great conversation with these two. Love them!

[@LMDrudeboy]

Someone needs to cast Dano and Cumberbatch as brothers

[@natechenry]

Is it a paul dano movie if he doesn’t at least get hit or tossed around at least once? Paul dano’s character’s being hit is the equivalent of brad pitt eating in all his movies or tom cruise running

[@GiantSandles]

He doesn’t get hit in the fabelmans but he gets emotionally destroyed

[@Debaser567]

​@@GiantSandles also in love and mercy

[@rmannayr2129]

THESE TWO ARE SO FUNNY TOGETHER!

[@blr5341]

Paul Dano talking about doing genre fiction is such a mean tease. I can just imagine him reuniting with Denis Villeneuve for a great scifi film.

[@drmtq.]

I literally got the Criterion Blu-ray for Wildlife yesterday and this comes out, what are the odds

[@michellemacco]

🔥🔥🔥Paul DANO 🔥🔥🔥

[@stav3239]

Paul Dano hosting SNL when??

[@rmannayr2129]

THE MOVIE IS SO UNDERRATED!

[@smailynnicasio5949]

five years ago is so crazy

[@valc6366]

such an easy watch. not all interviews have unskippable conversations.

[@larawolf1506]

yes it is so beautifully edited too

[@samuelblachon95130]

Nice sequel to the variety video

[@mountsinai_]

carey is wholesome

[@kaylamanuel5531]

I need them to play an married couple in an movie ❤

[@owenfreed700]

her laugh ughh

[@MrE.888]

Dano looking older. Soon to be full on Liam Neeson

[@essiewoo]

he sold out. sad, hes a fantastic talent

[@dalis994]

I'v always had a soft spot for her and it's definitely just her dilmples.

[@geoafe66]

The Batman was great

[@veggigoddess]

How can you be close friends with his wife, yet have not seen him in 5 years?

[@edsp666]

They probably have seen each other but it's titled that way for the sake of the video. But also likely they haven't seen each other as often over those 5 years seeing as 3 of them were during a pandemic.

[@AntinuclearAntibody1]

Such wonderful actors, they are basically (already) cult status among their colleagues.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I never thought that Paul was going to play the Riddler in The Batman movie, but he amazed me as much as Pattinson's Batman. However, Jim Carrey had mixed thoughts on Dano's Riddler when he saw The Batman because it was a dark version. Frankly, it's normal debating about who's the best Riddler because, they're two different versions of one single character. Moreover, I'm not a fan of Carey, but her performance amazed everyone in the film SHAME, she must've won an Oscar with her co-star "Michael Fassbender.

[@CaptainScarrows]

Yey

[@bookofdust]

What was keeping them a part?

[@shauntiller6161]

Life maybe?
