The whole point of daytime TV is to stop intelligent conversations like this from happening... Bravo Eddie!

Failed criminals go to prison, successful criminals go to parliament.

Too intelligent for This Morning 😂

He's not making a joke guys. It's a deadly serious point

Well that sailed out through the air vents without touching a brain cell.

He is spot on about the class thing, and about narcissistic behaviour in politicians.

Dermot wasn't listening, he was in fact thinking about what he can spend his money on that he gets from advertising scratch cards...

Hammond is thinking, “when is the cooking bit coming on”

The presenters have faces like Dogs being shown a card trick 😂

And there was I thinking I couldn’t like Eddie Marsan more than I do……..I love it when someone succinctly puts in words how a lot of us feel.

This exchange is the definition of 'casting pearls before swine'.

The mixture of fear and confusion in Dermot and Alison's faces is priceless. As time went on they were clearly panicking, no idea how to respond. Then imagine their relief when he ended with something they could laugh at.

100% spot on. It's unreal how much power they have and how people even gobble it up.

She is sat there thinking... I have no idea what he is saying.

Brilliant the two on the sofa hadn’t got a clue 👏👏👏

Unbelievably well put.

This is fairly solid explanation of Prince Andrews "I don't sweat" debacle. I would describe it more as the consequences of extreme privilege. Andrew has been surrounded by yes men his entire life. People who would agree with his every word, tell him how amazing he is, how much better, and more intelligent than the unwashed masses he is. An he believes it. He believed it so much so that it genuinely never occurred to the fool to think that the simple "plebs" would be able to see right through his bullsh*t in a heartbeat. In his mind, that interview was a masterful strategy whereby he would easily pull the wool over the eyes of his barely cognisant subjects.

Class actor and sounds like a clued up fella

Those two looked very worried, as if they're going to get into trouble for what he's about to say. That laugh at the end was basically to dismiss his statement and turn it into a joke rather than the injustices people face. Imagine if they nodded and just said, well said.

Producers in their earpieces saying “can you shut this guy down, we’ve got the piece on vaginal dryness coming up any second!!!”

I’ve always had a high respect for Eddie. Great actor. Great human

Damn, he just said the realest shit ever, and it was just ignored

They're laughing & think that he's joking because they're clueless!

It is lost on those two. She is thinking about having Shepherd pie or lasagne with garlic bread for supper, and he is thinking about the blue couch and yellow cushions.

Explaining this to Alison Hammond is like defining Quantum Physics to a toddler.

He nailed it there

Thanks for uploading this. This may have sailed over the heads of those 2, but regular people get what Marsan was saying.

In the late 80's,/early '90s, I had the pleasure of watching Eddie perform in a pub play before he became famous. At the same time, I was working at The Daily Telegraph alongside the former Prime Minister he mentions. And I can confirm that everything Eddie says is absolutely true, even back then, Johnson behaved like an evil Lord Sebastian Flyte.

Eddie is up there with the best. Not just a brilliant actor, but a great man with it.

Surprised he was allowed to say this at all! Mind you they wouldn’t have had a clue as he’s way above these actors!

He's an articulate, curious man with great charisma and confidence, which grandly compensates for him not being conventionally handsome. If he's also funny and a great listener then he's the dream dude for millions of women out there. On dating apps though...could a bloke demonstrate all of the above? Ergh, what a horrible thing dating in modern society is. Online dating apps?! You've got to be joking. Anyhow, I cranked the volume for this vid and appreciated what he had to say. Cheers for the upload.

You can see the panic in the presenters' faces 🤣🤣

Very underrated actors

This ties-in with the concept of psychological reactance. It is the innate human instinct to be oppositional when we are told to do something, quite prevalent in young men. Rich men who display this trait become politicians and CEOs, poor men who display this trait end-up incarcerated.

Very insightful and perceptive. Especially about the trauma. Resonates with my experiences at private school.

Class act this guy.these two where lost here

"Air of omnipotence" is a great choice of words. "Delusions of grandeur" and "Fantastic Thinking" also both spring to mind. As an I.T contractor I've worked for a number of people with these issues in the past but the money was good so I kept my head down.

Not only is he a fantastic actor, but that was extremely compelling and thought-provoking point to make. He really nailed it, a very smart analysis.

Eddie you lost them at "myth."

What an intelligent man. Always loved him as an actor, but I love him even more now.

Eddie is a great actor and even greater man.

The two presenters were waiting for him to talk about his favourite brand of ketchup.

You can actually see Johns word bubbles sailing over their heads !!!

Imagine how nuts you'd be if your family controlled the Bank of England for 200 years...

He’s spot on.

He's just described certain Soros absolutely accurately...

Ironic then that both the two people opposite him fit this personality trait perfectly.

Dermot nodding his head as if he understands 🤣

He sums up Boris Johnson perfectly

If they ever do a New Avengers Series there's your John Steed right there.

There are a lot of high profile people that think nobody can see their blatant lies, they hold most people in contempt. That is their weakness and they can't see it because they are narcissists.

Well said, he is talking the truth

Actor who speaks the Truth , and may l add a excellent actor Bravo I Salute you

A brilliant and very underrated actor.

He’s not wrong.

They were Laughing like? I can’t use an analogy because I feel it would be disrespectful to the analogy.. He was spot on and built up the point nicely. The laughing gang had not idea on his punch line, it was like a moment in the movie no country for old men, when the ‘baddie’ puts the pressure gun to that guys head and says keep still.. Thick as pudding some might say..

He's fuking rite

So true unfortunately . Kids are not used to being told no and suffering consequences if they break boundaries in school anymore .

The man described some things I experienced as a kid. I wasn't a compulsive liar by any stretch, but I do remember having difficulty perceiving others in my life as real independently conscious people. It was kind of like I was a character in a movie where everyone except myself were just like props that almost mechanically interacted with me. As if like this man stated they were '2D' and I was '3D'. Edit: Great video. Might have to look this fella up because he's got my attention.

Well said that man

Great video to share, thankyou.

Oh wow, how fucking true is that !!. Brilliant 👍🏻😂

You could see their brains trying to comprehend what he was saying then the laugh is just the relief that he’d finished 😂

Thanks for sharing this. Very insightful words from Eddie❤️

Always loved his acting, makes an excellent point

Who knew an actor would make such a solid philosophical analyst. He's spot on

Brilliant, both hilarious and yet scarily on point.

Nailed it.

Another issue is that politics (and democracy in general) rewards people who are convincing liars. In fact sometimes you don't even need to be all that convincing. Depending on which electoral system is being used, you maybe only have to convince 30%-40% of people. This is why electoral politics attracts so many narcissists and psychopaths in the first place because that type of person can very quickly rise to the top

You would have to watch a lifetime of daytime tv, to find one nugget like this. Thank you for highlighting this production error.

Eddie Marsan is a legend - never seen a movie or show with him in it that I didn’t enjoy❣️

Two words. Boris Johnson.

They had no idea 💚

Amazing actor. I saw him play Himmler the other day, and he was spot on. On a HBO show called, ‘Ray Donovan’ he played a brother struggling with Parkinson’s and I had to check to see if he really had been afflicted with the disease.

So much respect for Eddie, what a legend

always liked him as an actor. unbelievably eloquent. actors as politicians? interesting mr Marsan?

Nicely delivered

Love Eddie Marsan. A first class actor and clearly a good and interesting bloke to boot. Top quality chat in the pub for sure. He was aces in 'Ray Donovan' and if you haven't seen him playing in the rarely seen and under-rated 'Pierrepoint' with Timothy Spall, then do give it a whirl. You'll be glad you did. P.S. He wasn't strictly talking about the elites here mind. He was talking about any self-absorbed and selfish young bloke. There's a lot of 'em about in case you hadn't noticed and to think they are restricted to the 'elites'? Na. That's really just self-serving and simply the green eyed monster coming to the fore.... ;)

Brilliant ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Great actor and from this clip, clearly an intelligent and insightful person. Thanks for sharing.

eddie…… what a guy,a great actor but an even better human being,daytime tv rarely gets guests like him on and what a treat it was

Spot on. Exactly why we left the country in 1986. 😂🎉

Rember folks: If crimes can be punished with a fine, then the law only applies to poor people.

The black lady "When's brunch?"

Brilliant wonderful Eddie!

100% nailed it

I can smell wood-burning coming from the presenters couch.......

Gone right over their head's

Wow man. Never knew the elite class might not have my best interests at heart. Will keep this in mind going forward.

Absolutely beautiful!

Man like Stoat from Game On 👊🏻

Also referred to: Luciferian" well said for an Actor paid by them for almost 4 decades.

One of my favourite actors, and now one of my favourite people!

You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain

Nice to get some actual depth on morning tv

Unfortunately for Eddie , actors are some the worst offenders. Divorced from reality and delusional about their relevance and intelligence but protected.

People needed to hear this

Well said 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

Eddie chose the wrong show I fear. This was probably sandwiched between someone making fake flowers out of old shoes, and some old dear getting a makeover.

Geez..this conversation is as heavy as Alison Hammond
