    Willem makes every character he portrays completely believable. Whether he's da friend or da foe.
  • @KingDami1999
    Willem Dafoe is one of the most naturally funny people in Hollywood 😂

    "It's the creams 😂" Love his energy! He's such a treasure

  • Now I understand how he portrays his characters so well, this guys bursting with energy.
  • @MrKahlerHahn
    Can we all just agree that this man is a once in a lifetime actor? I honestly can‘t remember 1 bad performance
  • @trashcandy.
    his expression when he says "because people sometimes think we are our characters" made me laugh. actors must have to deal with that a lot.
  • @AnalyticalMenace
    4:23 "Everyone has an accent." THANK YOU, Mr. Dafoe! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I've been telling people this for years
  • “Who does Willem Dafoe look like? I look like myself. I look like my mama. I look like my daddy!” I literally cannot stop laughing at just the WAY he answered this question! 🤣
  • @thesummit615
    Willem Dafoe is iconic. I hope he lives forever.
  • @whiteday26
    I liked Willem Dafoe as an actor, but I never seen him in an interview. I never knew Willem Dafoe as a person would be so likable. 10/10. More like Willem Dafriend.
  • @Incog2k6
    Wow, I didn't expect Willem Dafoe to be like this AT ALL. He always came off as a somewhat serious person who can occasionally crack jokes. Here, he's completely carefree and childlike. I love it!
  • He seems like a hilarious guy. Considering some of the serIous and dark characters he’s played he’s suited perfectly for comedy.
  • @Anino_Makata
    Willem gives off the cool uncle vibes. Like in every reunion, he's the one that seemingly never runs out of funny stories to tell.
  • @JediPiIot
    Wow he's much more bubbly and upbeat than I imagined.
  • @nannerz1994
    This guy scared the crap out of me as Norman Osborne in my childhood and I just love his acting skills in his sense of humor and I'm so glad he isn't afraid to claim his Midwestern roots! I need more of him always
