Yep, living in London for 4 years. And hasn't she done well! Fantastic career, fashion muse, Oscar winner AND Michael Fassbender as her partner - I'd love to be in her shoes!!

Who wouldn't love to in her shoes right now... [emoji30] I wish!!! Btw I find her very very funny and goofy, something I don't see in many actresses nowadays. Many of those who try (and maybe succeed!) to be funny aren't naturally goofy/easy enough as she is. I mean, they are always afraid of looking stupid so they try not to lose their "perfect aplomb". Alicia is never afraid of being too ridiculous or too emotional. And I'm not the only one who noticed it: all the directors she worked with did it.
I can't wait for someone to point her out she overuses that "you know" now [emoji57][emoji57][emoji57]
 
Hahahha come on it wasn't that bad. I partly blame Jimmy for interrupting too much :p Plus he looked so cute in that suit.
I had to watch it in pieces it was so awkward! Plus I think I just prefer interviews where the conversation sounds more natural and it's not so obvious that jimmy requested a cute anecdote beforehand.

His more recent Fallon interview was soooo good though--maybe he was just tired the first time. Or drinking games really do make every interview better :)

The success does not come easy, she has the talent, disciplines, hardworking to make it happen! This is how she is the 'nature of force' . I also come across comments said envy of both her and Michael , not just envy of Michael

Yeah I agree with you. I love his interviews with James and Domhnall. He is also great with Graham Norton, DP/30 and Anne Thompson (she is fantastic). I try to forget that his first appearance on Graham Norton ever happened. It makes me want to throw up on Mark Wahlberg.

The recent one was good! And I still can't get over how perfect that suit was on him and how amazing he looked.

I would like to see Jimmy Kimmel interview Michael for Assassin's Creed. I dont think it has been done before. Kimmel is my favorite nighttime host. James Cordon would be good too.
 
About Alicia's personality during interviews/language barrier, it's not really a stretch to think that it could just be a personality trait of hers or that she becomes nervous in general during interviews. This is not meant to be a criticism of her, but I'm not sure if I buy that it has to do with a language barrier. Given that her country of origin is a place where many young people become fluent in English in their early teens (I actually verified this with native-Swedes, btw), she has lived in an English-speaking country for some time now and has acted in English-speaking parts, I have doubts that she has that much trouble expressing her true personality when she speaks in English. And I also imagine that even though individuals in her country become fluent by their teens, they had to have to be learning English long before that, like during childhood. That is a good time to capture the nuances of a second language, so personally, I don't see how she would have that much of a language barrier. That's not to say that she may have to translate some things in her head prior to when she says something, but I don't think how she comes across to some people is completely caused by a possible language barrier.

To give a personal example, both of my parents are non-native English speakers who immigrated to an English-speaking country when they were young. My mother especially was pretty young, in her early teens in fact, and spoke a language that has very, very little relation to English. She also had virtually no exposure to the English language before immigrating. Yet, when others and myself speak with her, she has no issues where she comes across as stiff or cold. If anything, she seems the same when she's speaking her native language and when she is speaking English. My point here is that the language barrier issue is not much of an explanation as to why Alicia comes across certain ways in interviews. It's not a crime nor a huge deal, by any means, but it seems like the notion of her having language-barrier problems is floating around a lot.

This was slightly off-topic, I realize, so apologies for that. But I thought I would throw in my two cents.

God, Mark Wahlberg was so irritating in that. I've talked with a few fans of Michael who love that interview, but I just wanted to cringe because of Mark. You could tell Michael was annoyed by him too.

No words about Wahlberg. He almost seemed to be kinda jealous of Michael or something. I don't know I had a very weird and bad feeling. The only thing I found funny was Michael being clearly pissed and tired at a certain point and I really felt for him. Gosh, that was a very bad half an hour (or even 50 mins!).

Btw it's always difficult to interview a bunch of people who have nothing to do with each other for such a long time, it often happens the worst.

I loved the Graham Norton with Michael and Kate and the one with Michael, James and Hugh of course!

I read some of the critics about her in interview last time. She usually a bit serious in it especially discussing about work. My guess is she is very no nonsense and focus when come to talk about work.?when she is on more relax or leisure topics eg taking to her own people in random swede - oh ! She's really in her element - so goofy , playful and energetic. She's adorable too in Jimmy Fallon !

Yeah but Fallon has a clear mega crush on her!!! Lol [emoji23] she's very serious when it comes to work, but very funny in more easy interviews. I love seeing her being goofy etc. There are loads of great entertaining interviews. I just really really like her personality.

Michael acts similar btw: he can be very serious when it comes to work and doesn't say stupid things when they interview him about his movies, he can be really focused on his job without being too personal, most of the times he hates personal questions but when he feels at ease he's very funny and open and talkative. Just as Alicia is. And many others.
It's a matter of mood and it also depends on your "chemistry" with the interviewer.

And both Alicia and Michael seem to have chemistry with Fallon!

I need to find that interview in which Michael and Jimmy laughed at French people.. Wait lol

Most people I know who moved to London from Northern European countries speak English very well, some more fluently than others. But there is still a filter for most of them they have to use, for the first few years at least. I'm not entirely sure exactly what Alicia is being criticised for? Being nervous? I don't think she comes across as stiff or cold at all; when she talks about work she is very earnest but her fun side often shows through. Her "call a random Swede" video was very cute and endearing and she looked more relaxed in interviews with Michael by her side [emoji2]

That's the thing though, she ISN'T being criticised. People were just saying she is more reserved in interviews than Michael. That is all.
