D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Honor Among Thieves, actors interviews

The thing is, that just who he is.

So he just plays himself in movies?

(I know him best from Sense & Sensibility, which I have seen many times thanks to my wife’s love of Jane Austen.)

So he just plays himself in movies?

Yes. A lot of actors do, actually.

Yes. A lot of actors do, actually.

I suppose. Looking at his Wikipedia page, I see that he is uncomfortable with his celebrity and with the media in general, so he probably just doesn’t enjoy doing interviews to promote his movies.

I also wonder if it has to do with him being older than everyone else. He is old enough to be Sophia Lillis’ grandfather, after all.

Hugh seems uncomfortable in a lot of those interviews. A bit out of his element maybe? Lots of innuendo which feels kind of misplaced to me. Anyone else think so or is it just me?

He could just be playing up his awkward guy persona, I suppose.

He definitely does seem uncomfortable. Probably a combination of both of those factors, as well as presumably not being confident in what he is or isn’t allowed to say yet.

I think Hugh is also holding back a big spoiler that he is dying to spill.

Yeah, that’s what I was getting at with “not confident in what he is or isn’t allowed to say yet.”

I think maybe need to drop Hugh from future interviews (he said ruddy Satanic!!!).

I know, right?! And from the sound of it, he’s not even intending to watch the finished film!

 

[John R Davis]

Yeah. On the Comic Con panel he looked really uncomfortable (I don't think he likes such things).....though he played well with the S&M / D&D mix up gag!

 

[darjr]

I think the actors confirm that Hugh does play a villain. Sort of.

Also more about how funny it was and that the clip of the graveyard got laughter from the crowd.

Also 2billion if hours of D&D watched?! Live streams?! I wonder who told them that and if it’s an accurate quote and if it’s possibly true.
