What's up, GQ?

I'm John Malkovich,

and today, I'm going undercover on the internet.

[fingers tapping]

It's me, John Malkovich, for real.

To prep for his role in being John Malkovich, 1999,

actor John Malkovich committed to being John Malkovich

for several decades prior to filming,

and insisted the cast and crew refer to him

as John Malkovich while on set.

In rehearsals, once Spike Jonze said to me,

John Malkovich wouldn't do it that way.

Next.

Why has John Malkovich never been considered

for the Joker at any point in his career?

I wouldn't know.

Why isn't there a movie that is just John Malkovich

and Christopher Walken losing their on each other?

Well, you know what's really odd?

I was supposed to do a film with Chris in March,

and now, he's not doing the film,

so I don't get to work with him,

which I'm not very happy about, but great script.

I wish you were doing it.

Let's see some YouTube comments.

My name is John Malkovich.

[audience laughing]

I don't sound anything like that.

No, no, you sound exactly like this.

Can John Malkovich do a Bill Hader impression?

No, I can't really do an impression of anybody.

I can't even do an impression of me,

but then I don't have to.

What are John Malkovich's favorite films?

I like a lot of the films from the '70s.

Chinatown, Carnal Knowledge, The Tin Drum,

The Conformist, Battle of Algiers.

Some Werner Herzog from that period is pretty hilarious too.

Let's check X.

John Malkovich has such great line delivery in every movie.

I still think how it could have been

if he was given a chance to play Vulture

in the original Tobey, Spider-Man 4

the way he was supposed to.

I had done quite a bit of research on it actually,

and then the whole thing just fell apart as things do.

Do you think that a soul can be reincarnated

into someone already alive?

Not a possession, but a blending.

Sounds like a question for John Malkovich.

I think people probably think I'm more interested in

esoterica and philosophical notions than I am.

I'd say maybe. Posted.

OJ's Football Shirts & Restorations.

The legend John Malkovich sporting a Espana 82 tracksuit.

I have so many questions.

Wow, I wonder what that was from.

I don't know that I ever wore this either,

but could have been for a movie or something, I don't know.

Next.

Another Rounders question.

How closely did John Malkovich's cartoonish

and delightful portrayal of Teddy KGB match

what he and David Levien had envisioned

when writing the film?

That was written by David and his partner Brian Koppelman.

I think it was pretty close to what they envisioned.

It's a pretty huge performance,

and of course, you could do it very suddenly,

but I'm not sure that was really what was asked.

Now, on to Quora.

Who plays the greatest villain, John Malkovich

or Alan Rickman?

I really like Alan Rickman, so I'd maybe say him.

Why would anyone seriously want to be

in John Malkovich's head?

Is he notoriously smart? No.

Are you notoriously creative? Is it truly different?

I don't know what it means. Is he notoriously smart?

Are you notoriously creative?

Is that addressed to me in the question

or address to someone?

I don't know.

Is it truly different? Is what different?

Does John Malkovich speak Croatian?

No, not enough of vowels, too many consonants.

How similar is John Malkovich actor in person

as portrayed in being John Malkovich?

Not very similar.

Wikipedia. [keyboard clacking]

Malkovich gained significant critical and popular claim

when he portrayed the sinister and sensual Valmont

in the film Dangerous Liaison.

He later reprised this role for the music video

of Walking on Broken Glass by Annie Lennox.

I did do that video and I was asked to bring the costume

from Dangerous Liaison that James Acheson had given to me,

and I never got it back from the production,

so I remained quite displeased about that.

Malkovich wrote and started in a movie

called 100 Years 216,

directed by Robert Rodriguez.

The movie is locked in a vault in the south of France,

not to be seen before 2115.

Yeah, I'll miss that one too.

I remember when there was a little party for that film,

somebody mentioned,

It was a film that nobody was ever going to see,

meaning nobody there.

I said, Yeah, well, I try to do at least a film a year

that nobody's ever going to see, so no news there.

Malkovich starred in his first video game

in Call of Duty: Advance Warfare in the exo zombies mode.

Yes, true.

I don't think I'm particularly very good

at being a voice actor.

My voice is very distinctive, for better or worse.

One irritating thing they often do is they have you say

the line in 12,000 ways, which is totally fine.

But then a month later you record it again

and do another 12,000 ways,

but they never think of just changing the line

at which point it would be better.

IMDB.

His big-screen debut would be as the blind lodger

in Places in the Heart, 1984,

which earned him an Academy Award nomination

for best supporting actor.

Actually, it was not the first film I did.

It was the first film released.

The first film I did was called The Killing Fields.

Okay, that's it. I'm signing off the internet.

See you later.
