True

I have never seen an actor so committed to his role. I mean, look at him, how passionately he plays in all his parts and how he wants to be the truest Rochester ever. For me he will always be the best Rochester, none of the past or future ones can't beat him!

Wow, finally, _finally_ an actor who has read the novel and who feels and understands his character's depth perfectly! 👍 Toby Stephens, by far, is the very best Edward Rochester. 😊 And the chemistry, the feelings, emotions and sexual tension between Toby and Ruth is undeniable, very strong and powerful. ❤

sensy 01 No, some actors are dumb as stones, especially the ones in the series Poldark, you wonder if they are really that ignorant about their character and the series itself. Poldark is a MYSOGINISTIC POS, the author was twisted and a total MYSOGINIST, yet the writer is spewing out the BS ABOUT IT BEING ABOUT LOVE, LOVING MARRRIAGE DURING HARD TIMES , WHEN IN REALITY IT IS A CESSPOOL OF ADULTRY, MYSOGINIST BEHAVIOR, WITH NO RESPECT FOR LOVE, MARRIAGE, TRUST ECT, I AM HOPING THIS BS TANKS NO REAL MAN OR WOMAN WOULD BUY THE WRITERS BS AS TO HOW THE HEROINE IS BEING PORTRAYED, MAKING HER ADULTROUS HUSBAND A HERO AND HIS DEVOTED WIFE WHO IS MORAL, STRONG, INTELLIGENT AND LOYAL ADOPT IS SLUMMING TO KEEP THIS DOG THE HERO, TOTAL BS AND UNACCEPTABLE, UNLESS YOU ARE A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN WITH A CRUSH ON YOUR 30+ ACTOR,A FEMALE HARVEY WEINSTEIN, FOH.

One of the sexiest things about Toby Stephens is his artist intelligence.

god he has a great voice, i could listen to that man talk all day

Toby is a breath of fresh air, he is so well read about each character he plays, I love that he explains so clearly who his character is and how and why he functions the way he does, NO " you know" and "yeahs" he is knowledgeable a true A list actor.

I was amazed at Toby's acting. The combination of fun, brooding, desperation and hope at the same time is just... amazing. Then I learned who his mum is and I was like... oh yeah, no wonder.

Why do you say that? Who's forgotten?

It's the understanding of the character as well as Stephens had that really makes the acting shine. He is my favorite Rochester ever. Ever.

I love this version of Jane Eyre. Toby Stevens is an excellent Rochester. And Ruth Wilson is an awesome Jane Eyre! It was her 1st acting job too! They have great chemistry. I love Thornefield! The music, costumes, lighting everything really sets the mood!

What I loved about this Mr Rochester was the humour, it really allowed me to see the appeal of the character to Jane

You are correct: in some versions, he is relentlessly dark, pessimistic, and morose. In this version, he allows us to see increasingly lengthy glimpses of a fine sense of humor and a lovely smile. When you see those things, you do understand why Jane would fall in love with him

Love his observations and insights...

Toby is a freaking delight. Intelligent, gorgeous, and down-to-earth. Here's to hoping that he'll continue in his thespian direction and charm us for years....

I just love this version. I don’t know why but I absolutely love the chemistry

Just watched the series last night and i’m under his spell!! My Rochester! Although i also loved Fassbender, Rochester Toby’s playfulness and humour allure me so!

I didn't know who Toby Stephens was when I first watched this. I just thought my God he's good. Now I know and I still think the same thing about him everytime I watch this beautiful version of Jane Eyre it is the best version hands down.

I love Mr Rochester's hair !!!!!! :)

He explained so well! He put in words what I realized

I'm watching this interview for the 100th time just to hear him say the word "sexual" :D

He is incredibly intelligent. You can tell by the way he presents his ideas about Jane and Rochester's relationship. How great to find someone like him, who is not only an exceptional actor but also a very intelligent person.

He's probably the best Rochester, too light for my taste since we see too little of his emotional outbursts, but he was good in it. And "drop dead gorgeous" is only for entertainment purposes, all of us book readers know mr. Rochester is actually "hideous" ;)

Loved him in "Tenant of Wildfell Hall." By another Bronte sister. Anne Bronte.

I know that he talked about Rochester and Jane being similar. I think the similarity is that they are both deep down very passionate people tossed around by difficult circumstances. This is mostly true for Jane. Rochester's suffering was brought about by a negligent choice that HE made. Jane's suffering was mostly from choices made by other people, including Rochester's.

He's so smart and very aware.

Very interesting to hear him reading Bertha as an embodiment of a side of Rochester - we usually hear of Bertha as a shadow self of Jane. For my part, I see both Rochester and Bertha as parts of Jane’s psyche that by the end she must integrate.

Jane Eyre was my very first Victorian novel. But I'd already watched this version of Jane Eyre and absolutely loved it! Ruth Wilson was perfect for Jane and she played the part so well. Toby Stephens was the perfect Mr Rochester too, dark and sultry and moody. My favourite scenes are where he returns to Thornfield and realises that Jane has missed him, I think then he knows she has fallen in love with him. And the scene where he asks her to marry him. So well acted, I have watched this and it enjoyed so many times! Absolutely brilliant! Charlotte Bronte would have loved this adaption. 😚

They are similar in their life circumstances, as an orphan Janes family harshly mistreated her, and Rochester as well was definitely treated wrongfully and the similarity is an interesting comparison of the characters but they reacted differently to hard circumstances and this is the basis of the character study that is Jane Eyre. Nobility and trueness to ones self are possible no matter what happens in your life, it might not be easy but it is in the end the better road to take. I love Jane and Edwards story so much

ahhhh! i love his voice!!

Honestly the best Rochester ever. Tense, sensual, dark, vulnerable and loving. Uhhm, yum. Lol

I really agree, and the 73 version is GREAT for that! But I find this adaptation very close to the essence of the story. They take the time to show how the love develops for each character. I find the pleading after the wedding scene very believable as well. They have been cautiously intimate with kissing and touching all month...so the buildup in passion is there and it seems natural that they would have this conversation in her bedroom.

I love him!!! He did such a good job as Mr. Rochester.

I love you Toby!!! He played this part wonderfully. eek.

que lindo es Toby, su rostro es muy varonil todo un caballero al hablar

congratolations, Toby is fantastic... in plays like Hamlet, Macbeth and of course in Jane Eyre.... keep going.... és único, brilhante.. não tenho palavras...

Ridiculous amount of sexiness there. Thankyou, world, for giving him to us to stare at and fantasize about. What I would do for one of my own :')

And when i read the book i was 15 (unny he was the sane age then..lol) and he embodies exactly what I dreamed he would be...Hair, voice anda personallity...Just didn't imagine he was the son of such a Lovelly woman has Dame Maggie Smith...She's also sweat and brillant...Congrats to him for his brilliant performance...

He is sooo smart!

Totally agree with Toby, the best adaptation so far.

Oow, he IS knockout gorgeous!!!

The Best Mr. Rochester. Absolutely Gorgeous!

Rochester is every woman's dream!

I love intelligent British actors who clearly spend a great deal of time reflecting on their characters and analyzing the reasons for their actions. Toby is someone I would dearly love to have a cup of coffee with!

Toby Stephens ist beste Besetzung für Rochester, Sexephil, Schwermut, Sehnsucht, durchdringende Augensprache... Diese Verfilmung macht nicht müde sie zu sehen, "immer wieder"!

Great actor.

Good Lord! He is fine!

I always thought rochester's personality and masculine attitude made him attractive, not neccesarily that he was conventionally 'good looking'. But, there are a hudred different ways to interpret the book and its characters. Some thought the 2011 actors were too hot but i personally don't mind at all

Amazing portrayal of Rochester. I have read so many literary critiques of why Rochester is a ‘bad man’ and absolutely fed up of it! Main reason is he locks up his wife in the ‘attic’. When will people realise this was the 19th century and what was the alternative? A lunatic asylum? Leave her in the house as normal unlocked so she bites people and burns them in their beds? Did he leave her to rot in the damp house he has far away? No. In fact he tried to save her in the end and all the servants too. There were no humane institutions for mental illnesses in those days and this was, for that era, the most humane thing he could have done. Plus he takes on the baby of his former cheating mistress knowing it’s not his…absolutely love this guy!!!

Perfect man! What else?

He is my Man where is my Mr Rochester Very good performances by Toby and Ruth

i think its more of like such productions dont really like finding main actors/actresses who dont look "good"...i mean part of the reason some audiences choose one movie or another is because of the people acting out the parts, not the story itself. and plus all that, toby stephens DOES have more of a rugged look about him rather than "pretty" (not that im complaining--he's handsome enough for me ;D)
