She is so eloquent even when delivered difficult questions. She speaks authentically without ego. Something we seldom find in Hollywood.

I love the section of this where she talks about being the character more than she is being herself. Such an interesting side of being an actor that no one talks about.

I don't normally speak to comments about interviewees, but I don't think Brie was "a pill" or rude. I do think her public persona is conscious and evolving. I felt she was trying to both be open and not excessively exposed.. which I sympathize with and have seen happen with many actors. I just rematched the interview and am not sure when or how I was condescending in any way. But if anyone saw it that way, I can only say, "sorry" and suggest that perhaps the tension of probing when someone is uncomfortable being probed can give off some odd vibes.

+DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood You couldn't have been more accommodating and responsive in this interview so I find any negative comments on your conduct just bizarre. Having watched her previous interview with you and other interviews of her, she did definitely came across as blunt and not as approachable as she can be but one can only put that down to her head space in discussing this role for which she clearly immersed herself into a very withdrawn and isolated world. So hopefully, that was the only reason for it, either way the interview conveyed exactly what it intended to, so as per usual - well done, Dave!

+DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood Dude, I loved this interview. To the folks sayin she acted rude or some shit, I mean come on, the movie was so dark and her prep for the role must have ripped her heart out! She's gone on to speak about the real life kidnapping and sex crimes and has helped raise awareness for something which happens in our world for something so dark and no one talks about that! His interview is mainly focusing on her role she played and her prep for the role, which is awesome. She had to re-enter that part of her mind where she spent over two years becoming this person she played. I would also feel and look rattled if I had to relive my darkest moments, scripted or unscripted, ya know?

*Update 5:* Brie Larson just won the Academy Award for Best Actress!

I don't see her as rude or uptight at all. I feel she is just focused on answering the questions and thinking them through before she speaks. I cannot wait to see this film!

*Update 6:* Brie Larson has just won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress ! Room swept the awards, winning in every category it was nominated in.

I love how Brie answered beyond herself even though the questions did concern herself. She's so eloquent, invested, and honest. And she maintained her inner child and everyone else's to the end :) Great how this was shot in one take with that random interruption too haha. Nice mix of questions about the film and herself. Really appreciated this interview so thank you for sharing!

And now the Oscar for best actress too.

wow, what a fascinating interview. I loved hearing about her methods to fully "become" her character. The eloquence with which she describes her process is inspiring.

Wonderful actress. Humble, intelligent and TALENTED!

I like her She is very matured

"We're talking about the movie that makes me feel a little bit more comfortable." "Do you ever get used to talking about yourself?" "Used to it? But I do the best I can to not make it not about me at all. I'm actually very sneaky about it. I very rarely talk about me. I talk about the film, I might talk about some of the process. But I don't like talking about me ever." (Some words are mumbled, so I didn't exactly get them) The first minute is SO eyeopening or to me confirming! Brie Larson is so misunderstood by most people. Probably because despite being a huge star, she's very private (introverted) about her personal life. And I'm not talking about "I'm doing a youtube channel and talk about my interests". Yes, that is definitely way more open than pre-Room and Room-era Brie was. But still talking about THINGS isn't the same as talking about yourself. And it's her damn right to not be an open book. But it's interesting to hear it from Brie herself so clearly. I'm very sure the majority of celebrities are rather easy to get. They get along well, they are funny, more or less open, tell stuff about their lifes etc. But people like Brie, who want to be in the spotlight because have a huge passion and like preparing for acting and playing roles way more than being spontaneous and asked personal questions having to act their own, and on top have a weird sense of humour and socially awkwarness to them, are often in danger of being misjudged as labeled as difficult, arrogant, weird, awkward, not interested.

Another great interview. Thanks David!

Very well said ,David. I never comment but the camera does not lie and interviews are sensitive things . I love watching your interviews... I could listen to Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain all day... you are fighting the 'good fight' as you say. From a nobody from South Africa ... you rock dude.

Just seems like a really cool, smart girl. Thanks for your performance Brie, love you

Brie Larson is so strong and brave for this! she had to tap into her inner sadness and own growing up and become the character Ma (Joy Newenan?) You dont see enough movies where the girls look and act real! I believed her, I engaged and went on an emotional rollercoaster with her, I really related!

I love Brie Larson, and i follow many of her interviews. And comments are always about she being super nice or rude. I'm mean, it's true that in some interviews, she seems a bit defensive and in others less. But, I don't think we need to make her the Hollywood concept of a likeable person, she may or not may not be. She's a great actress and a great person (she's become super involved in advocating for survivors). She doesn't have to be the Hollywood concept of a charming interviewee. She can be who she is. We need different types of personalities. They don't all have to be a Chris evan type of person.

Yay! This is back on here after ages too! Thank you! :)

I've been waiting for this one! thank you :)

The book Brie is referring to is Room, by Canadian author Emma Donohue (2010). It was a North American best seller. The movie is slightly different from the novel but still draws a lot from the book. Room won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. You should also check out Brie Larson's early music videos on youtube, they are cute.

awesome interview!

I loved every bit of the movie, it was so well made from Jack's perspective that all i wanted was the same things that made him feel confortable, like going back to the room, not wanting to make the things Ma told him to do in order to be free this was the key to a sucessfull story, see that worlfdthrough Jack's eyes and feel what he feels and what he wants, amazing acting from both Bria and Jacob. I'll be waiting for her oscar.

The interviewer trying to make a point but then brie knows what the interviewer is going for so she let her guard up! Good job.

I think it's just different energies at points, she seems caught off guard by David's conversational style interview at first. Maybe because she's coming off interviews that have a very set, formatted process.

lol the fact that they misspelled her name on thumbnail

Ha ha, Mr. Poland is not at all condescending in this interview! He is just very, very tired. Poor fellow, he must have done a lot of interviews that day. Brie Larson seems very nice. Not everyone can be as charming as Meryl Streep or Jessica Chastain or Emily Blunt.

Yay she won an Oscar:) go Brie!

21:07 lol

He's a great interviewer

She’s not being rude, if you watch other interviews of her, she’s really eloquent, and like in this interview, she’s really focused on the question and answering it. What bothered me were his questions, very industry-like/superficial? Maybe because he didn’t know anything about the story or the movie, or maybe because he didn’t have any connection with her? I’ve seen all of Saoirse Ronan’s interviews with him and they have a friendship of some sort, so it just flows naturally. This was not the case, but it was not anybody’s fault.

Brieeeee!

neither of them were rude, you who project too much, everyone is different

Great actor, great person!

She gives me JODIE FOSTER vibes

I loved THE GAMBLER - not many did, but I thought it was stylish, had a cool soundtrack, and Mark Wahlberg was amazing - I normally don't respond to him. David, you liked The Gambler, too, didn't you? Maybe you and I were the only ones! But I agree that the movie could've used more scenes involving Brie's character. About the interview: yes, the vibe between you guys was a little tense and awkward, but I think she was tired from doing press - she looks worn out. And sometimes, David, you're not always as precise as perhaps you should be, with your questions, and so you have to repeat the question and elaborate 'till the interviewee understands the question, and some interviewees tend to get a little annoyed with that... but you've been critized for your interview-skills before, so you know all that. But when you have REALLY great chemistry with an interviewee and the interviewee has a personable personality, your interviews can be a joy to watch - the most recent example being your interview with Olivia Wilde, who's so well-spoken, smart and engaging, that she must've been a pleasure to interview.

+UlrichUlrich I think it's a matter of connecting, some people connect and some don't. I like that David doesn't force this, or put on airs and try to be someone he's not. Brie is very up-front, has a very extroverted energy, whereas David is subtler. They have different energies that are obvious in the interview but that's not necessarily a negative. Just depends on the individual.

Stunning beautiful brie larson i watch this because of her and i love the way she talks in the interview the room best movie ever :)))

It's also a bit unfair to say that no other movies exit besides what we consider Hollywood. Of course they do. But honestly I find it hard to get access to them. To find them. With streaming it's easier to find them than before that. But they are not on the mainstream streaming platforms.

Wow fucking LOVE Brie Larson's insanely expansive answers.

We viewers often forget that actors are human beings. And they have many different sides to them. Sometimes they are super funny and smiley, then they are serious and factual. Judging any person from a distance from two of their maybe worst appearances is very unfair. It's like in real life: You have to get to know people. Not every person is open from day one. It takes time. With media persons it's even more difficult because you only experience their presense through the screen and through their words. It's parasocial interaction. And because the entire world could watch these videos, they should be careful about what they reveal. Media people are doing jobs, they don't owe nobody revealing their entire lives.

Yeah I agree with Dave, she wasn't rude at all, nor was he! However, I do believe she tries a bit too hard to come across as a film connoisseur (if you will). Her answer to the process question? I don't know what to make of that.... It's the first time I've heard such a response. Surely the ''magic'' she refers to, lies in the whole of the end product. Revealing how you prepared for a role does not deconstruct the movie.

@zehranehar7892

apple-sauce also she told how she prepared many times. I didn't get her there.

To me, who has nothing to do with acting, hearing about the process that an actor goes through. I admit that I don't get acting. I don't get many things actually. I don't get how acting is done, how one becomes a different character, how you remember your lines, how you prepare for a role, how you talk and move and follow directions at the same time, how you show emtions on command, how you do all that in front of a crew. I admit I don't get it. Many viewers if not most don't see (how can they) how much preparation was possible for any role. I rarely read user reviews that praise an actor for his preparation. It's much more a question of liking the movie and the performance or not. And it doesn't matter how expensive the movie was or how many training Brie Larson did for Captain Marvel, I'm not into superhero movies, I can only try my best to like the movie as much as I possibly can. Often it appears that actors just read their lines and then start acting. It's important to notice that a Brie Larson prepared for many months for her Oscar winning role and that not every actor would or could do the same. Brie had the right personality for that role and because of her personal experiences she could understand her character a lot better than somebody without these experiences. And that you have to deal with these depressing topics for months which we all know cannot be healthy. Very fascinating insights. And please work for 12 hours on this high level for a couple of weeks or months. Then we're talking. Thank you, Brie. ❤

Where's Tommy Wiseau?

Hollywood won't change. They honestly are not there to make the world better or show a real depiction of reality. They are in it for the money. The know what the audience wants and what the audience wants the audience gets over and over again. Of course I'm all for diversity and different stories and different kind of characters. Who wouldn't be interested in that? But there are formulas that are working. One thing I find funny, and I'm talking as a (new) huge fan of Brie as both as an actress and a public persona, is that this interview was about Room. So it was done in 2016. Since then, Brie has done Kong: Skull Island, Captain Marvel times two, will be in Fast and the Furious X, was at least in Just Mercy but it was just a small (as far as I saw it) not really challenging role. Of course we all change and want to try out new things and go there were the money is to have a sucessful career. It's just interesting how Short Term 12 was Brie's audition for Room and by that role she got Skull Island and then Captain Marvel. But Captain Marvel is really the exact opposite of what Room was like. Both movies have Brie Larson and the fact, that they are movies in common. But that's where the similarities end. I don't blame Brie in the slightest way. She wouldn't have dreamed becoming a world wide known superhero while shooting Room. But when you get that opportunity, any remotely plan you had for your acting career changes overnight. If Captain Marvel hadn't happened, Brie would have played other dramatic roles. Now she's mostly taking part in blockbuster movies. But she knows she got super lucky after she was had a struggling career until Short Term 12 and Room happened and she got her first leading roles ever.

BRIE LARSON LOOK GREAT ON DP/30 !!!!

These comments are so judgmental 🙄 it seems like they’re both just exhausted. When I’m dead tired, I don’t feel like talking, conversation doesn’t flow as well, I’m not going to be perky and joking around. Constantly doing press is going to take its toll on both sides.

19:17 28:15 Nope time?

Brilliant actress. And a big fan of this series. However, I felt like the interviewer was kind of condescending here (for the very first time). Why would you ask a serious actress like her (or anyone) - can you do this again?

i didn't find Brie rude i think it's the other way around. from the start of the interview the interviewee's comment is already ehh "let's talk about your favorite thing in the world, just talk about yourself" really? i mean it might be sacrastic but c'on

Really surprised by her attitude in this - look at all her Craig Ferguson appearances and she's SO cool and sweet and charming and hilarious - I realize this is a more serious interview but I found it a bit sad that that persona of hers is nowhere to be found here. She was kind of a bore with seemingly no sense of humor or herself, and very guarded. Not what I expected.

Totally different style of interview. Like comparing apples and oranges. There is an audience there. It's only 5 minutes short. It's meant to be funny for the audience, like a short play (at least the Craig Furgeson talkshow, on Jimmy's and Kimmel's show the Q&As are way more organized). Those interviews with Craig were just making random stuff up (which I found exhausting to watch). I can relate to Brie's introvertion and I also rather would joke around (with people/at work) than reveal my inner world. Joking around with Craig was even much less personal than talking about a movie because then Brie at least had to reveal a few things about her life. Brie is by the way talking about/promoting a very serious drama. Cracking jokes wouldn't fit the mood. Maybe she was tired and the interview didn't find a good flow. We viewers expect entertainers to constantly perform on a professional superhuman level and be super happy and all smiles all the time. Guess what, they are not. Shooting a movie can be easier than spontaneously answering samish questions over and over again.

It’s so hilarious if you compare that interview with a newer one. Now she’s literally only talking about herself and bragging with everything possible

She's so cocky here. What happened to her?
