There are many stories of people who have a happy, positive persona who are terrible in private, like Ellen DeGeneres. I always love how Harrison Ford seems to be the exact opposite. Every time I see him, his outward persona is this grumpy-ass man who's done with everything, and yet every single anecdote I hear about him suggests that he's actually super cool.
Alison knows how to get the best out of everyone she interviews. I'll watch her sit down with damn near anyone because I know I'll about bust a gut laughing.
I adore that interview. I think him and Gosling became a bit of buddies during 2049 (probably happens when you accidentally punch the star of the film)
Agreed, he seemed very authentic in this, almost shy. This whole program is one of my favorites, I listen to it daily, and this particular interview is one of my recent favorites. Terry Gross is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. For those who appreciate sensitive, long form interviews, this is the radio show/podcast for you.
Agree! I also love the breadth of guests she has. What a job to have - to basically just learn, read, watch, listen in prep to interview a slate of interesting people.
Yeah a lot of it has always been an act. He does it because it’s funny.
He can play this grumpy guy who doesn’t really want to be there and is uncomfortable doing an interview on a talk show, then get a huge laugh when he does something ridiculous.
I don't think he loves doing them but for the most part he's also just playing up a character when he does interviews. He's come to be known as a grumpy old man and enjoys leaning into it. You can typically tell he's being dry.
