Luke Evans is so underrated. He was brilliant in Beauty and the beast.

[jonathanjourneys]

I know exactly what he went through as I did myself. I have lots of beautiful memories from my upbringing the biggest one of all is prayer. I never stopped and now married with my partner and living my authentic life❤

[philshaw]

what a charming, modest, and intelligent man - also terrific actor - a pleasure to listen to!

The interviewer needs to allow the person to speak and pause more. It’s not polite to interrupt the guest allow them to talk.

I’m trying to listen to Luke Evens but Lorraine keeps talking over him

[Airtones]

Stop interrupting the dude, let him talk.

It is genuinely so rare to see a European actor sharing their JW story and experience. I look forward to reading the book and seeing what commonalities exist between his JW experience and my own. So glad he is sharing this with the world.

It's very traumatizing for a child when your parents or parent whom you look up to continually tells you the end of the world is coming. Never mind all the other stuff. We were forced to go to the Kingdom Hall 3 times a week. My mother was JW my father was not. At 13 I told my father that I would run away from home if my mother did not stop. My father made it stop. I love Luke Evans. He is a great actor and seems very down to earth. Love that !

[LeeMichaelWalton]

I have the greatest respect for Luke Evans

[angelabroom]

She sounds like she knows more about his life than he does. Just wish she'd shut up and give her guests the opportunity to speak!

[joannemarsden]

Lorraine Kelly stop talking let Luke Evans speak she does head in

[charlesanderson]

I was very lucky to have seen Luke very early on his career in the Boy George musical Taboo at The Leicester Square theater in 2003.

[SilkyShish]

Stop talking so much Lorraine. You also keep interrupting your guests.

[uraharasshop]

I don’t know why everyone is picking on Lorraine. I think she’s just excited and happy to see him. I appreciate the natural flow of the conversation.

[StephanCalvert]

I own a couple of his movies. I going to buy more. He is such a nice person,

[AvronChristopher]

Seems like everyone that watched agrees that she should just shut up and let him talk. Constantly interjecting and her random noises are just annoying. How does she even stay on the air being so annoying to guests. I just wouldn't put up with that. It's just plain rude.

[JaneEva]

Lorraine doesn't shut up! Stop interrupting and let your guests talk!
