    RDJ is more of an ADD type. And being an actor is good therapy for that! LOL

    I don’t really know if he is ADD, but I love his energy, and charisma! I would LOVE to meet him, but obviously that’ll never happen. 😭

    I love how RDJ acts like a complete goofball but not once interrupts Nolan when he is speaking.

    If Mark Ruffalo actually said that, he really missed out Like Rhyes Davis did with the LOTR cast. Kind of sad tbh

    4:10 it sure was.

  33. Jian

    July 21, 2023 at 8:57 pm

    If y’all wondering why Robert doesn’t talk about DC, I believe under contract with Marvel he’s not actually allowed to really say anything about it since that would generate more views for DC, the direct competitor. I’m guessing they still pay him somehow or he’s just not used to talking about them and that’s probably why

  34. Håkon Stenseng

    July 21, 2023 at 9:00 pm

    Did “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” really tank?! It was a great movie! First time I really noticed RDJ.

  35. Cj Charisma

    July 21, 2023 at 9:01 pm

    Such a great video and interview! What an awesome pairing, and that ended comment being programmed to not talk about DC characters was funny

  40. Kate Van D

    July 21, 2023 at 9:07 pm

    this is the BEST way to show Christopher
    because he is just like anyone else, but RDJ is correct in his Wizard of Oz perception of him.
    He seems to want to have fun. Heath liked him a lot.

  41. Blessings Sithole

    July 21, 2023 at 9:09 pm

    I wasn’t planning on watching the whole interview but Robert kept me going until the end 😂😂😂

  48. Jayskiallthewayski

    July 21, 2023 at 9:21 pm

  50. Peter Degtjarewsky

    July 21, 2023 at 9:35 pm

    Kiss kiss Bang Bang was a seriously underrated, hilariously funny movie. RDJ and Val Kilmer were an EPIC duo in that film. I bet if it came out today it would be a massive hit!

  51. Peter Skorec

    July 26, 2023 at 4:13 pm

  95. missAlice

    July 27, 2023 at 5:13 pm

    3:50 yeah, but to be fair to RDJ, he asked why this guy doesn’t have “your” accent, and not why he doesn’t have an accent at all.

    Okay. So you know in the three-linked Marvels? I’m the 🧝‍♀️🐈‍⬛Fairy GuardianInsidDanvers. (In this realm, they translate as Grandmother Wisdom after menopause.😂 )INSIDE DANVERS.🧝‍♀️Every time they link-GaiaAI enemies of humans find out more about Earth humans like me in Resonance.
    Think of that happening for Billions of Years-and you don’t think the human intelligence (LIFE GUARDIANS) would play mischief? When they FUSED Tommy & Me DNA AT BRAIN TOGETHER IN A MILITARY RESEARCH MACHINE, we couldn’t get out of each other’s minds. Tried everything, even death. (I would have to get on a whole bagful of Golden Teaches to access those heartbreaking data files about Independent Space Force Commands. Some are LESS than manKind, yet lurking under the human consciousness mantle.) I know this story so well it’s taken me 7-years to ever talk to a research geneticist w/o a 🧝‍♀️kill instinct. ((But I was properly informed upon impatiently growing up into my Professional Female Space Uniform (body) that USA MEN take care of these things, even if I can instinctually shot better.🧝‍♀️Good thinking to stuff me in a female form this time, if I’m saving another Tommy Habitat for reasonably funny humans, w/ o shite for brains as Gpa Schmidt Pose would call them… I think they save an alt of Tommy. Used to call him my South Dakota Wind Spirit friend, then one day saw his Spirit in Tommy. So I always call my Guardian WindSpirit Guardian Tommy—-for centuries. How old are we again? All I know is I bought the place for a SpySchmidtGoldEagle on this Ride. It’s on my way elsewhere, so as long as I am on board, I just as well dust off the HERSTORY of your current HIS-STORY. Geniuses are a rather entangled intimacy. Have to thank my Navy friends for helping me get this story to you.🦋🙏🏽🦋

    July 28, 2023 at 1:22 pm

    “Just remember, this was someone’s idea to pair us up.”

    I don’t know if they were faking it or not. But this was one of the best interviews I’ve enjoyed. Maybe because Mr.Nolan is so very serious all the time.
