Poor guy....He was really struggling with those words. It's a rare man, let alone celebrity, who can be so openly, honestly vulnerable.

Interviewers love asking him about his mother to cause him discomfort. I'll never understand the desire to see someone's pain. He's such a sweet man.

The English version of bawling your eyes out.

A bit rude, to ask such a personal question. I love the way he holds his knee; it seems like a self-comfort gesture. He's so kind and patient..

Poor man, he sounds as though he still missed his mother very much. And he did look about to weep at 0:38; my throat ached just watching him.

he displays a way of shielding his emotion by nearly closing his eyes

My heart is breaking now.

Truly one of the greatest actors I think that I will ever have the privilege to see. From the icy, bitter, sadistic, murderous, Nazi with eyes that will pierce the strongest substance on Earth, to the funny, artsy man in Grand Budapest, to the unbelievable reincarnation of the original M in Bond...Just fantastic.

He's such a love..

Seemed for that moment to change from a big-time celebrity to that little boy growing up on a farm.Touching moment.

I lost my mom to cancer in 2007.. hurt like hell. Still does. I'm sorry Mr. Finnes.😢😢😢😢😢💔💔

His work as Amon was stunning

He was able to navigate through this uncomfortable situation very well. That was so deeply personal...

So touching. Such an man......

He needed a hug 😢

Aw, poor baby.. Such a rude question to ask right after her death...

Jennifer Lash..One of the two books his Mom wrote,and she is super-talented..Of course Ralph loved his Mom,and I am sure she was tremendously proud of him..

He is such a great actor. I hope he is doing well!

I really think this question was a bit too personal and when the interviewer realised it bothered him he should have moved on to something else.

aaw, that was really beautiful and touching!

I hate this guy asking the questions. He's so cold and just reading off his questions,- not being very pleasant with his guests. Who decided to let this guy sit there? Terrible!!!! I'm sorry for Ralph Fiennes.

Okay he wasn't crying but awww!

He's pretty good to hold his tears back, ralph is such a lovely man who I wish I could see someday, who knows I might have such luck :)

Just a pure finesse this man, could I ever meet him, probably not, 😩

Why have all these interviews been taken off of KZfaq? They were so inspirational.

it's a beautiful moment but he's not crying. (thankfully, it's terrible to cry)

A dor parece ser atemporal.

nooo! poor baby , damn question :'(

Awe poor guy.Must have been hard talking about her...

Got to admit that it's a bit awkward seeing Voldemort cry :P

All I see is a red dragon behind that...

'Poor voldie' - SERIOUSLY?

caper the caper I should can soup?

🥺😢😥😭

That is NOT crying. Change your title.

She is not really die she is being transfered xx

Sweet, you could decern that he had alot going on inside...

This is what inside the actors studio is like all the time. The interviewer is good, just because you perceive it to be in ill taste does not mean it is.

The first line is kinda wrong. Ralph's mother did not chronicle a long and painful pilgrimage. His words make her sound like a whiner. She was a very strong inspiring person. I don't recall much in her book being about her pain.

he didnt cry

Sick interviewer, asking him questions like that. Cruel and and cold. So sorry Ralph.

The comments here....about how this question was so "rude"....this is from a time before every place was a safe space kiddies. Now it's all pandering and political correctness.

Horrible question.

And where exactly is the crying? Bs.

Most insensitive line of questioning. No professionalism - this interviewer! 👎
