as an american, in s1 & s2, sam reid’s total inability to hide his lowkey contempt for overly fake-chipper american journalists, especially ones who Have Not Done The Assigned Reading know and care about the show, will never not be hilarious and iconic to me

#sometimes he can dial it back to civil blank apathy #but i have never laughed and cringed like that at the same time #sorry we’re so fake bro we’re just Like That #his frank tiredness with unoriginal or dumb questions is kinda refreshing #i think we first got it full-blast with It’s What’s Written In The Books last season #after 5K ‘why is it gay’ questions #but that latest Dish tv interview where the journo joked they thought he was dead holy fuck #defcon 1 levels of Done #it’s sort of fascinating since generally all celebrities play along with any interviewing atrocities they suffer though #american fakeism is the lowest bar to endure but the man is just a wall #lol don’t lose that sir #iwtv #interview with the vampire #okay no sorry this is my ted talk—#i mean he’s not alone frex some european actors in particular seem to pull out their best acting chops when #faced with shrilly chipper american interviewers #though sometimes you can catch the horror in their eyes #and hugh grant epically blanked that one effusive interviewer on the red carpet at the oscars the yr before last #and was almost assigned 40 lashes in the court of public opinion #(until will smith sucked all the oxygen out of the room)#but sam reid is just full stop not going to reflect back. it’s…kind of awesome and not a little brave in this biz #anyway this has been my ted talk #saluting an icon 🫡
