Isn't it trippy how we've all watched them grow up over the years?? And they've turned out to be such good humans too!

Denying Freddie even a nomination for Bates Motel,has to be one of the Emmys' biggest crimes.

Dakota Fanning and Freddie Highmore are probably the MOST unproblematic and MOST talented child actors who’s grown up to be wonderful not just actors but also human beings! Honorable mention on Emma Watson too! Just pure class “kids”…

Freddie is that boy that every girl hopes to have as a son one day.

i'm glad Hollywood didn't get to these guys. they matured into great adult actors that'll have an amazing adult career. Respect to their parents for not letting fame get to their head and keep them grounded

Freddie's voice is calming and sophisticated.

look at these put together child actors. I'm proud of them for some reason. get them in a film together.

He looks on point with that facial hair

This feels so natural. They just let the conversation flow and don't ask scripted questions. Really interesting.

"I'm upset that Sean Murphy's not a real person that I can meet." Honestly... Same...

I love Dakota and Freddie, they are amazing actors!!!

Dakota Fanning is one of the most underrated actressess of this generation.

I just adore their friendship, platonic relationships are _waaay_ underrated. Individually, I love both of their work immensely, and have grown up with them ❤️

Freddie Highmore is an actor I admire and respect so much. At his age so many of his actors peers had already had years of drama on their plate and continue to have a camera as a way to stay relevant but Freddie only uses his Talent and it has definitely gotten him far! He is a true actor and not just some celebrity!!!

Dakota is one in a million. She was such a special child and she is so, so intelligent. I don't think she truly understands how special she is.

I'm 24 and I feel like 50 year old watching this. How fast time flies. They will always be 12 year old in my mind.

Good parenting prevents child actors from acting up. Kudos to their parents.

He was magnificent in Bates Motel.

Freddie has a degree in Arabic and Spanish and studied European law... the dude is just gifted

If only all child actors had people in their lives who kept them sane as these two wonderful souls had. Truly talented individuals.

Two well-balanced, intelligent people, on equal ground, full of insight, sharing. This is absolutely beautiful! More TV shows and interviews should take this sincere and productive approach.

Really interesting the questions they asked each other, and how both being child actors worked out for them.

This generation gives me hope.

It feels like i'm watching a date 😂

What an awesome sit down chat, both great actors.

Freddie needs to be protected at all costs😭😭😭♥️

Norman suddenly speaking with a British accent is strange. XD Freddie's underrated... he was a great Norman

Freddie Highmore is one of my all time favorite young actors .... I remember watching his as a kid at the same time he was a kid and then seeing him take on these more dynamic roles and watching him always remain humble makes my heart happy ... the same with Dakota

this is so cool. they are 'thee' male and female child actors who were on screen during my childhood 😱😍

The GOOD DOCTOR is an amazing show!! I love it and I've fell in love with Freddie Highmore!!!

My childhood heroes 😊 Charlie in the Chocolate Factory and Cat in the Hat were my favorite movies as a child

she always seemed wise beyond her years when she was a kid actress so i was always fascinated by watching her... and he seemed the same as a young kid actor. when you just watch people and can tell they have IT well they certainly did and still do!

freddie sounds more sophisticated than any other British man😄

Great discussion! Freddie is such a lovely human being and very smart that he felt going to university and getting a degree was important and acting was a "adult option." *applauds*

Please do this with Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb

The way they finish each other sentences and the way they completely understand each other it's like They look so perfect for each other 💞🥰

I love this format: two acting peers just chatting without some third party interviewer mucking things up.

"I like how we're talking about the kids that we will have." I know he meant something else but... me... dead 😍😍😍

I'm 45 years old and I have Asperger's Syndrome, a higher-functioning form of Autism. Shows like, "The Good Doctor," are inspirational in opening the world of Autism to a mainstream viewing public. Bravo!

So happy to see these two grow up so mature despite of early acting careers. God bless Dakota and Freddie. Will keep supporting your craft

I absolutely love them both. They are not just amazing actors, but so intelligent and articulate young people. An absolute delight.

When Coraline and Charlie are talking to each other and your childhood explodes

Even with the beard, he still looks like a young kid

This was like listening a really good lecture ...or an audiobook on two young interesting and wise actors

Dakota was always my fav actress growing up. Happy to be the same age as her. Legit grew up watching her.

his face is still like a baby with facial hair.....so cute....so humble and down to earth.probably he knows he is the boy so many girls dreamed of,he is a fine actor,he is damn cute....after all these he is so humble....perfect human being

I love this relaxing conversation. Their friendship is really cute

It may sound weird that they’re being allowed to direct already but they probably have more on set experience than most first time directors

Only after I see this video do I realise that they've never worked on screen together, have they? It's so crazy when you think about it!

Freddie needs an Emmy ❤❤

Very mature for their age. 90s babies actors slay.

I didn't know Freddie was british, it was a wonderful surprise when I heard his accent.

Freddie Highmore is perfection personified, uber talented yet so down to earth, love him so much!

Freddie: i love how we are talking about these kids we are going to have... Dakota: *in chorus* ...kids we're going to have.. Me: please marry each other and have kids.

Interesting fact, both of these actors have played characters with ASD. Freddie in 'The Good Doctor' and Dakota in 'Please Stand By'

The fact that we grew up with both of them in our childhood is really crazy, two people from my childhood in one place and all grown up

I actually think that’s the key to having kid actors grow up to not be insane is having parents who are just normal and grounded and they encourage the kid to be normal and down-to-earth. These two are excellent examples of the benefit of grounded parents.

These are actors who matured very well in the industry. They are here for the love and passion for the art of acting, not the fame, which I feel many people are acting for nowadays. I hope they have successful careers❤️

Of course he has a British accent 😩😩🙌😍 love them both!

Two intelligent actor. Love the both of them.

Watching the Fanning sisters being so down to earth and relatively normal, that itself is pretty self explanatory. Good job, parents!

WOW. Freddie is very charming. I RESPECT him as an actor.

I feel like I haven't seen a Dakota interview in a decade. Young Actors who say that acting was practically a hobby to them until they grew up and they went home and had a normal life always appear calm, settled and well rounded. You know they mean it because they'd let their kids do it. Ppl with opposite experiences always say something like, "No, I hope they never want to be actors, if they do, they have to wait until their 18." Love that Dakota's mom went with her everywhere and Dakota's like, I wouldn't just send my kid off to a set by themselves." That's good parenting. They're parents did well. Shoot, you need to be there. I also feel her on, but can I be selfless and give up my career lol. I feel like they transitioned into adult roles easily because even though their roles weren't "too grown" they were always in mature movies and often played mature characters. They didn't get stuck in like a Disney bubble or anything. They were just children who grew into talented adults. Also, Didn't realize we were so close in age.

she stole my heart in i am sam

Norman Bates with Jane Volturi... Now that’s a crazy mix!

Dakota Fanning in "War of the worlds" is her most underrated performance. She is stellar for someone so young at the time. Well done. Bravo.

freddie is starting to look like a young Matthew Goode

Freddie's eye laugh lines are so endearing oh lordt so cute

I love Freddie Highmore. He's such a sweetheart. Great actor too.

Two of my childhood heroes talking about two of my fav shows in the most soothing and charming conversation. I loved this so much 😩❤️

I love how on point the actors Variety matches up are. They always have something really interesting and unique in common and have really great discussions around those shared experiences and how they approach them.

Freddie is my crush

They are so awesome... I loved this interview! I love hearing their point of view and how grounded they are because they are both amazing

When I saw the title I knew this is going to be an intelligent conversation. Please have Dakota in the Good Doctor, she would be an amazing addition to the cast...and maybe Shaun's love interest, please, please, please...

It is always a well spent time to listen and view to any Dakota interview or conversation; she is so fresh, kind and simple, and even she is absolutely amazing as actress; thanks a lot...

Mr. Norman Bates himself!!! I really LIKED Bates Motel and all of the actors/actresses in it. Anyway, this was a nice interview and I really like both Dakota Fanning and Freddie Highmore. Have a great day/week/year everyone!!!

This interview is such a dream for me, it falls right into my happy universe, where I pick all my favorite people and stuff

They are both well-passionate and crafted actors in this generation. You can see their sincerity with how they connect their passions to do such roles and apply it in the real world. You can actually feel their belongingness in the world of entertainment. They're actors with substance to connect to the people without being trying hard.

What a perfect pairing! Would love to see them in a movie together.

I had no idea Freddie was British!! He's really beautiful!!

Two people I never really thought about shipping together, yet here I am

I love the way they listen to each other and understand each other when they are such different people

I love them! That's a great paring. Great actors.

Who ever decided on them and made this happen is wonderful and amazing and I love you!!! Bro bang up job on that

Both extremely talented actors which such an impressive catalogue of work already.. will be fun to see what they do in their futures

I love Freddie he is such a gentlemen and Dakota is so mature these two never have any sorts of gossip or anything bad to be on news.

omg this is the best, love both of them!

My whole family’s forever favorite child actors. Lupita Ramos & August Rush 😍

This is such a great interview. I hope we see more of this. Stuff like this really makes me enjoy KZfaq.

OMG.... two of the most amazing child actors all grown up!!!!

I adore these two! Most of us have seen them in projects since they were both really little, so it's such a treat that we can still enjoy them as adults, too! They're amazing actors!

Freddie Highmore you rock big time as an actor since childhood. All of your performances are stellar. I love, love, love, "The Good Doctor."

Put these two cuties together in a movie. I'll watch.

It’s been so much fun to watch both of you grow.

OMG these two delightful creatures! I've followed their careers and they are amazing actors, talented, clever and gorgeous! Great conversation :)!

This is one of the conversation that so good that I didn't want it to end

This interview made me like them even more. Such wonderful people and artists.

Freddie looks great! With facial hair and i think it be great if dakota and freddie were to be in a movie together.

You are each so refreshing. I have loved the work you’ve each done from childhood. And have thoroughly enjoyed this interview.

Freddie has played so many iconic parts as American, I can't even with his real accent
