I appreciate how specific and articulated Ms Dormer is. Correcting herself from "lesser" to "minor" roles, The Reformation pun, playing a certain kind of female roles.. there are a dozen examples why this lady is amazing.

[marcusholden]

She is an extremely talented, hard working and grounded actress. The first thing that hits you is her beauty, but then her ability to tell a story and BE that character is what you are left with.

Many of the reasons why I love natalie is that she's so intelligent and always looks prepared she has a very friendly and chill personá no awkwardness or deprivation I Love it can't wait to see what she stares in the future 💛

What you really came here for 16:21 Yeah yeah yea, GoT Margaery and watnot, but Natalie's Anne Boleyn was the single best representation of the tragic english queen ever put to screen, a star-making role for her, The Tudors was just great TV, far, far superior in every aspect. All her characters are good in their own way, but Anne completely stole the show and indeed she gave us a definitive portrayal 💯😍 thanks Natalie ❤😘

I have to say it again: Natalie is such a talented, intelligent and beautiful actress. She is amazing in every project she does. I can't wait for the upcoming ones.
This talk was a joy
She is just great 💕

I love listening to her! She’s the full package! Smart, classy, gifted, attractive, talented, focused, prepared, grounded, well spoken. There isn’t many who are on her level. The experience and knowledge she can offer new starters is second to none.

No one will ever play Anne Boleyn as perfect as Natalie did. Perfect representation to such an iconic figure in English history 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[changingmind]

I could listen to her talk for days without losing focus. Everything that I’ve seen her in or interview she’s been a part of, has fully captivated me. Truly one of the best “talents” out there. There is so much respect in her delivery/wording and I have the upmost respect for her in return.

[katas]

That was fantastic! I have always liked Natalie, she is such talented and intelligent actress/person. Always a joy to watch or listen her whatever she does. 😍

[Nelsonhojax]

Theatre actor here. It is so cool to hear Natalie talk about her love for the art. I could listen to her wax poetic about the stage for ages

[MidnightAndLuna]

I love Natalie Dormer! She’s a beautiful and brilliant person. My first exposure to her was The Tudors and I loved her as Anne Boleyn. I haven’t seen her in everyone one of her projects, but I’ve absolutely loved her in the roles I have seen.

[JamesMoore-uncu]

Besides the fact that she's a beautiful woman and good actress, its her dialogue and word choices and how she enunciates each word, that's really something. Very well spoken and a joy to listen to.

[dextermoore]

I absolutely adore Natalie Dormer. She is beautiful, talented, articulate and intelligent. I loved her in GOT. MT was one of my favorite characters on the Show. She is classy and elegant.

[sharonbolmentbolment]

I am a fan from Vietnam. I wish to see her while I am here in the UK. Her intellectual beauty professionalism and talents shine through the way she delivers any messages just kill it! Hardly comment but definitely have to on this!

[jamesgornall]

One of the best actors in the Tudors, cant imagine any other Anne Boleyn now

[bendakstarkiller]

Love Natalie Dormer. She's my favorite actress. Wish her all the best!

[sindeeperkins]

Natalie was magnificent in the tutors. She played that so beautifully.

[majidsouintez]

With this crown I declare her (Natalie Dormer) the queen of all actresses and all times. Lo tiene todo es una una gran actress y nos dará mucho que ver .

[EmileVinesh]

I loved this interview. She's very well spoken and down to earth from what I hear. There was also an interview with Charles Dance, but it hasn't been uploaded yet?

[georgek]

Such a wholesome interview! It's great to see an interview where the questions are not "who has seen you naked" and a bunch of silly jokes but actually an in-depth conversation.

[oshanegrant]

Love that answer “get to the nurses first” well said.
