Same,I love the way she speaks
"I just wanted to beat Carrie." Nobody does authenticity like Ms Carter.
“It’s fascinating. And it’s fun. And it’s a privilege.” 🎯

As an actor who has been rejected from drama schools a multitude of times and always felt like a lower-class citizen every time I’ve auditioned, Helena gives me hope. She’s quirky, down-to-Earth, and one hell of a great actress. She’s my favourite ❤️❤️❤️

@alessandrameneses8550 Hey! Thanks for asking 😊 I'm a long way off having it be my full-time job but since I posted this comment, I got into drama school, have worked on some cool projects, and have been paid to do what I love, which is amazing! I hope you're doing well and keep following your heart and dreams ❤
I always have had the feeling that Helena Bonham Carter is real - Authentic. Any conversation i hear confirms this! and talented, sensitive, wise, clever and being beautiful looking has helped her eh!
Helena is one of the greatest actresses out there.
She’s so matter-of-fact about it all. I love it.
I find her so compelling
Inspirational advice. I like that she says don’t take yourself too seriously and have a sense of humor. Be nice. Great advice.
I watched her movies w/ Johnny Depp and she's absolutely an incredible actress. shes so underrated!💔

HELENA I BLOODY LOVE YOU
Pretty much everything you need to know about acting right here.
She understands the Vulnerability and having thick skin to endure what other people think! I love he so much! And long to be as open and mature as she is!
She is such am inspiration to everyone! This is why she has been my idol for so many years! I hope to be a talented actress like her! And I hope one day to meet her
This is so inspiring, because I always thought that you’d have to go to drama school or something to be a good actor but when I hear that she kinda ‘just started’ and I see where she is now, I see that she’s right and you learn by just doing it and failing and trying again. This gives me the hope that I could also maybe become an actress one day.
Good advice. It is indeed a privilege. I’m sure there are lots of people taking great enthusiasm from these words. Well done.
I could actually just have her give me advice 24/7. She is incredible i love her 🥺🖤
She is just gorgeous.
Finally, a good advice for people who are not studying in acting class
I will definitely be quoting her when I do interviews for my movies, watch

I'm enjoying her honesty. I'd always admired her vibe. She's also quite attractive in my opinion!
Always been enchanting to me.
This is like the first time seeing her in an interview being actually serious.
Such an inspiration. I not only want to meet this wonderful woman but work with her as well.
I love how to the point she is
Wise words, to starting actors.
I bloody love you Helena
i love her even more now
So real and down to earth ❤
What a beautiful woman. Thank you god for making Helena. God bless.

thank you Helena
Very good advices. Quick and clear. Perfect !
This is the most serious looking, non-HBC aura, I have ever seen her. Most of the time, she looks unorganized or too "at home" in her interviews. Which shows her character.
I still don't know what i want to do but this is really inspiring

"At the end of the day you're just pretending. "
I have seen her in the movie "Lone Ranger"

When you check out her background you go from surprise to surprise. Family connections take you places indeed.

Hamlet.....she was perfect!

She doesn’t age I swear!
she's not my favourite actrees in particular but l think she's great in every role she plays, when l was a child the first film l saw starrring her was Fight club now l'm 21 l understand better Helena's quality as actress
She looks so young in real.life I think they age her up for the older roles...
I will be a great actress someday, the next time I reply, I'll post a reveal video

it's not that hard honestly. if you live in a big city its easier. if you live in a small town just look to the nearest big city and look at agencies in that area. obviously start with smaller agencies because they are not gonna expect you to have a lot of credits and a big resume. lots of small agencies do casting calls to look for new talent. google is your best friend

Her family line is quite “up there”. She has relatives that have served as prime ministers, lawyers, and even royal members. She’s also part azkenaki Jewish and is related to the Rothschild family. Aristocratic to say the least.

Why does she look like her characters ? 😆
Have genetics for looking good on camera. There's a tip, few talk about.
What is this acting ASMR?
Do you think an actor who won't play certain role coz it's too daring or too opposed to own political views is a good actor? Is that a legit excuse?

I've met her a few times and found her to be quite perched, And of course Cis White Privilege plays a huge role in her success, I mean when you come with the correct social currency doors open instantly for an Archetype as they would when you come from a long lineage of Tory politicians, And because of privilege she has gotten some really good gigs...innit. but i did enjoy this interview Thank you.
mAYBE HER ADVICE WOULD BE...jUST BE THE SAME IN EVERY PERFORMANCE....
Her obvious acting capabilities were not aided by “White Privilege “. In fact, guess I missed that boat too. No free phones, no food stamps, no help with rent etc! Keep politics out of the arts! I know that when she appears in something, I’ll watch.. Thanks Helen,for the poetry readings.
You shoud be Blunt not Carter, Lol.
She looks and sounds like someone who would be fake and not just in acting.
I love her
