Good lord he's NOTHING like his character. Amazing internalisation skills. I never saw him break character. He had total control over everything to the smallest of details like that awkward boyish smile Johnny has or even how he breathes through his mouth often.

[Martindyna]

Josh is evidently an excellent actor; Johnny is nothing like him.

[lordwalker]

Was so nice to see a queer film with a happy ending and not one that made me feel like slitting my wrists.

[sahilmerchant]

Josh is truly great actor.Looking at him in this interview i cant wrap my head around that he did play John Saxby in that movie

[beatrizbarrios]

Almost the last scene with Gheorghe was amazing !!!! Amazing movie I saw it like 20 minutes ago and I'm already in love of him, his performance was amazing Bravo!!!

[christinayoo]

How can someone look so gorgeous and lovely at the same time? I've been watching a lot of his interviews mostly about his films and the more I watch the more I think that this guy is so intelligent and mature not just the way he talks but the depth of his understanding about his work and the way he delivers his thoughts. He is just...I can't find the right word I'm just in love with him

[factbeaglesarebest]

Wow the posh accent is so shocking, especially without that long hurting facial expression he has in the film. Great actor

[dankgymrat]

I think josh is the only actor i've seen ever to act out a sex scene as accurately as possible. You can see how he shakes and he's breathless and you can feel and see the primal hunger we all experience when having intercourse. Right there, i'm convinced that this guy is an exceptional actor. Probably one of the best in our generation. And after watching this interview, i realized that he's a completely different person from johnny. I almost don't recognize this man at all. That's how you know josh is one heck of a talent. Hollywood needs more of him.

[jmsta]

Wow, he's a fantastic actor - so believable in the film as someone completely different to who he is in this interview!!

[gainal]

He was astoundingly good in this film. So nuanced and moving. Definitely one of the best performances of the year.

[demacto]

Just watched it and absolutely in love with this film. Truly one of the best movie of 2017, the cinematography is beyond amazing, the chemistry between the two main characters, breathtaking! What a great year 2017 have been for film.

[craigpearson]

beautifully written, shot, acted, directed, produced, everything about this film is just wonderful, perfect even.

[ewie]

Words fail me to express how much I love this film for its absolute beauty and message of hope, and so I might be biased, but Josh deserves an Oscar for his performance! Nice bloke, too.

[epeasy]

Comes across as such a lovely fella by the way he really listens to the questions.

[manggy]

Lol Josh says more (and smiles for longer) in 6 minutes and 56 seconds here than Johnny does in 1 hour and 40 minutes :) Watched it twice! (The movie, not this video.)

[oliverelio]

He completely immersed himself in the character of Johnny. He's such a good actor, his chemistry with Alec is electric. Love God's own Country.

[alfchuah]

Beautifully shot and written and acted.

[joeymoneva]

Really loved the characters development in the movie, there's no way you'd not fall in love with the characters. Very nicely done

[Amalthea]

Such a sweet and well spoken guy...cannot wait to watch this movie for a 2nd time.

[becks]

He absolutely smashed the acting skills in this movie.. he is one of my favourite actors . I was amazed how incredible he was in this film especially compared to how well spoken and gentle he is in real life 💙
