He would have been a great Bond. What a gentleman, those eyes, that voice, such presence.
I absolutely agree. However, I'm not so sure Ollie could've behaved himself for 7 straight films---like the incomparable, Roger Moore. But, nevertheless, in my alternate, parallel universe; Ollie portrayed Bond a total of 6 times...and it was extraordinary. Brilliant, really.
Cheers.
That’s a great observation.
Not to mention all the bond girls.
Bless him
Miss you Oliver,
Shaken not...... I've changed my mind 20 pints of mild and 2 bottle's of brandy....
I completely agree!!
Watching this I realise for the first time what was lost when Reed decended into alcoholism; he's not even acting here but his camera presence is extraordinary.
You got the feeling that was a very powerful force barely controlling itself
Pete Murray with blonde hair and a gold microphone and still with us at 96 !
He was really behaving himself there and and being a perfect gentleman
gardensofthegods I don't think so he looks 40 at most
Pseudonym 1
I'm not sure why you're saying he looks 40 here... maybe in another spot I made a comment about him looking aged or something ?
But here I just commented that he was being a gentleman and behaving himself... but I do know maybe one or two other videos I thought he looked a little bit tired or unwell but I don't think I said that here.
Anyway years ago I had a close friend who looked more like Oliver Reed than his own brother does... in fact this guy really looked a lot like him ...he was American Ukrainian and his name was Walt
@@gardensofthegods you should see me ;) I'm his born-again grandson!
gardensofthegods he was 36
Always terribly sad how many artistic people whether actors musicans et al...when they descend into alcohol or drug addiction. It ruins their entire lives...relationships career reputation health.
Oliver Reed is one handsome man.
God yeah. .. 😘
The most handsome
An authentic talent and well-spoken. Ollie was one of the best in film history.
Omg. What a handsome guy he was. Drink destroyed his looks. I am getting weak in the knees just watching this video.
The sexiest man on the Big screen, ever... Oosing sex appeal,
Beautiful eyes, cutest smile,
Incredibly intelligent
So true to himself.
Broke the mold with Ollie .
They don't make them like that anymore.. xx
The way he turns around at 0:09 and stares right at the camera, this man was born trolling 😭
There was a gentlemanly unpredictability about Oliver Reed. You were never quite sure whether a comment would elicit a smile or a flash of anger. In other words he was dangerous. He brought that quality to the screen. When the material was good he was great!
Gorgeous speaking voice. RP at its best.
posh, yet warm and not fake sounding , not pompous...perhaps b/c of the great smile that went with it
A very manly man, commanding presence, but in this interview his eyes are almost those of a boy in their openness and forthrightness. I feel in love with him while watching one of his films as an eight year old.
His eyes...you never know if what you say is gonna drive him mad or let him quiet...
He had wonderful eyes... there was always a hint of controlled menace behind them. It was that dangerous vibe he emitted that made him such a fascinating actor.
Dam sexy too!
@@glamdolly30 yes, beautifully said!
@@Kiky812 Thanks - charisma is a powerful and enchanting thing - rare too, especially in the potent version Mr Reed possessed!
WONDERFUL ACTOR !!! WONDERFUL MAN !!! BLESS HIS SOUL !!!
One of the best movies ever made. No other adaptations come anywhere close to the level.
Interesting fella, always worth watching & listening to.
I feel nervous just watching this! He had such presence and was so intimidating in a positive way!
‘A decoration from the arts and sciences... I still can’t add up’ - I love Ollie
“I’m a member of Arts and Sciences...I still can’t add up”.
Such a cool dude I really miss him
The best bond that never was.
What A Beautiful Man
A great actor sadly missed and a very sad ending to his life a beatiful spoken gentleman i bellivedevery word he said when he acted so powerful some of his acting scared me that’s how amazing he was thanks Oliver
He was a very very sensuous man with eyes and a smile that made you weak at the knees. That plus being a fantastic. The whole package, except the one evil thing.... drink! Slowly but surely destroying him. A battle he had no chance of winning, and I think no desire to ...Sad !
A legend. He was always eloquent and funny. A true man's man.😍 If you haven't watched the Tonight Show clip with Shelley Winters, then you are missing something good.
It's a shame that, soon after this, his reputation for drinking literally ended his movie career. No director would touch him. Great pity because he was so charismatic.
what?? His last movie was The gladiator
@@btf1287 so pleased he finished on a good note, but his movie career declined by the late 1970s.
Rather it was a shame due to his heavy drinking and associated antics when interviewed that's all the interviewee would want to talk about. So he became infamous for that sadly rather than continue to be famous for his fine acting skills.
Complete nonsense he was in numerous films for the rest of his life !
Oliver Reed was quite hot! Lol Those eyes!! 😍
A wonderful actor and great character.
Oliver was iconic.
Their was no one ever like Oliver Reed .x
Por eso se mereció q le dedique la película Gladiator "to our friend Oliver Reed"
Pleasant interviewer.
Pleasant to the point of inducing vomit.
Now that's how you interview Olly Reed.
Always loved Oliver Reed, if you have followed him and seen his interviews you may have noticed he is most well behaved when he is with well spoken people or fellow actors. He can be unpredictable if you are neither of the aforementioned.
In other words, he was an insufferable snob.
@@amandajstar Or, just a good actor. How does one know exactly what's in his mind. It was an observation.
@@ROCKINGMAN I don't claim to know the man.
@@amandajstar Seeing him in interviews he certainly doesn't come across as a snob.
@@ROCKINGMAN Mm, maybe. I've seen a few.
SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT OLIVER REED BUT HE WAS A GREAT ACTOR
Whattttt this is awesome... I've never seen this one !!! Thank you.
I agree re Bond, good commanding voice and presence
A fascinating man
My favorite actor of all time. I'm 57 years old.. when I talk to peers or anyone younger.. they have no idea who he is!.. all I say and point out is that.. Oliver read look him up. He's the best actor ever.
My favourite Musketeer film
I always loved this man .
I had such a crush on him back then!
Tell us more about how that felt.
@@trollop_7 its a crush you dummy what more is there to it
@@davidfitzgerald4683 I've no idea. I never had a crush on him, myself, you front bottom.
@@trollop_7 front or bottom? ha ha both
@@davidfitzgerald4683 What do you call it then? A plum?
My goodness , Oliver Reed was gorgeous and had an air of sexy menace about him. The interviewer seems nervous here, like he is afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting throat punched.
Pete Murray. Consumate professional, I'm sure he knew Ollie well and would have been able to handle him if Ollie had been on the pop. Pete's still around. In his 90s now.
Tom Hardy comes closest to Oliver Reed's vibe.
Oli lived up the road from me,I used to see him in the hospital where I work,he fell and broke his arm ,he had long hair and a long beard,
An incredible actor
Que homem lindo e que gentleman
Classy guy!
Legend ♥️
WOW!
Un grande Oliver, inolvidable y talentoso actor. Jamas sera olvidado.
Also Oliver Reed was sober
What a legend. x
Beautiful.
I just live the way he speaks.
OF COURSE he's the only one who wore the medals to the premiere! He would have shown up in a tutu if dared to, this is nothing.
Lovely to see
Effortlessly cool...
Great man 🇬🇧
Well that went without incident, quite unusual.
He's at a high-society event, on his best behavior and probably not even drinking big at it.
...100% Swagger
Wow hard to believe he was just 36 years old here, as he looks early 50s.
you hater
No hate, just an observation that is all. He was a great actor though.
EgoShredder I think he looks his age. He probably seems older to you because he's not running around in nut-crunching skinny jeans and rockin' an emasculating man bun like most 36 year olds today. Back then, men acted like men...not perpetual boys who are suffering from a permanent and terminal case arrested development.
BTW...I'm not some bitter old guy...Ironically enough, I'm a 36 year old who just so happens to unequivocally reject the social constructs of so called "fashion" and "culture".
I agree with what you say that responsibility ages people etc, but have to admit I am one of those 'puer aeternus' guys, e.g. eternal boy and probably why I look about early 30s but I am approaching 50. I'm far removed from those hipster man bun types though and detest them! However my entire family look stupidly young too, so maybe DNA playing a bigger part I am not sure. My personal circumstances have changed dramatically though in recent years, so I am expecting to suddenly age soon. Take it easy and look after yourself Steve :-)
EgoShredder Thanks for the reply. I'm glad we see eye to eye. I look young for my age as well. I'm typically mistaken as upper 20's. I have the same mindset as you (in regard to the fear of the process of aging being amped up and accentuated). My overall consensus is: "I should start rapidly self destructing ANY day now". It's held out, thus far. Here's to hoping that it holds out for at least as long as your present age. 🍷 You're very blessed.
Johnny Depp is one of those people that I always observed as having eternal youth. But...since he turned 50...he's gone back to drinking, carousing and raising hell (much like Oliver Reed) and he's aged 10 years in two. There's a lesson here: as you said: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. When you factor in the alcohol abuse...Ollie was VERY lucky to have looked as good as he did at 36. Hell, he's lucky to have looked as good as he did the very day that he died! That seems to be the lifestyle that Johnny Depp adopted in his early 50's. Not the greatest decision. I got that out of my system in my 20's and on into my early 30's (at least I hope so 😬).
Anyhow, sorry to ramble. I've sincerely enjoyed our discourse. Have a splendid week.
Just watched the film today well dad did very entertaining 🙂
Oliver Reed must have been a French musketeer in a past life, or something like that.
Class act Ollie
Posh English people were posher and more precious back then.
I agree
I think this was just about the time he met Keith Moon and slipped into some madness.
He reminds me a bit of Joaquin Phoenix here...
People compare him to bond but i dont see him as an “action” man. He was passionate but not violent
He's my grandfather.
0:17 It's actually the correct pronUnciation dahlings x x x
Comte de la fere is my favourite Reed character, and that is up against some pretty stiff competition.
He was such a great actor, but he ruined himself by being such a drunk. What a wasted talent! So sad!
I think Oliver Reed was really French; and the French gave Ollie to England as a gift, which is why he sounds British. But seriously, Oliver Reed was perfect for Athos.
Erin F French really? you mean like Serge Gainsbourg? maybe it's gitanes he's smoking! 😉🎃
Lovely
Muy buen actor pero el alcohol le ganó la batalla q pena
Bye Bye !!!!! Are u serious
Ollie is the Trump of England
Because Oliver’s reeds gay
