- Legendary performer Barry Roskin Blake of 'Inside Entertainment' sits down with beloved actor and director Robert Englund to chat ,Freddy’ up.
Great early interview done at the Die Hard Building in Century City, California more then 25 years back.
Englund lets out some very interesting secrets from his days as the iconic Freddy Krueger and Elm Street.
![Robert Englund • Interview (Freddy Krueger/Andrew Dice Clay) • 1990 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b-EPjvrvhts/mqdefault.jpg)
He was 42 here! Looks more like 27 or so.
Wow 42, i though he was so much younger here, like u said, i thought he was in his 20s 'cos now he's gone grey now. How old is he now?
Like 67.
Really? He looks 30 lmao
LGBTvideos he's 67 now and looks old. and we cannot trust in his hair going grey, because he probably dyed it for a long time, so you never know.
According to his birthday listed on IMDB he just turned 70 June 3rd this year. He aged quite well.
Robert Englund is one of the nicest people ever
PhillT1988 ofcourse he is
Ironic that he plays a stone cold killer
He's nice until he gets you in your dreams.
lol thats true but its a nice guy ive meet him in hollywood hes a nice man
He is. Have you met him? I was lucky enough to meet him when I little.he is such a sweetheart. So soft spoken. And to see him interact with fans/ interviewers is fantastic. Love him
Wes Craven even said how nice Robert is when he was brought into casting to play Freddy. R.I.P Wes.
Robert and I shot this interview in the 'Die Hard' building (Fox Plaza) back around the summer of 1989. Thanks for watching as this was one of my favorite interviews that I had done with him and a great experience.
Barry Roskin Blake Is there any video that he tell how he did got the role back then. Like why Wes took him? Thank you.
Well, Barry Roskin Blake I think you should interview Robbie Jones
Freddy's New Nightmare fan made film
Wow I was wondering when this was from holy crap! 1989; young and handsome
Wow, Robert looks very handsome here! I love his voice and listening to him speak, he's so charismatic. :)
That Freddy laugh is the greatest thing ever
7:40
Robert is the man! One of the most fantastic actors on the planet! So underrated, deserves even more work than he gets. He's also a fantastic storyteller and just an all around great guy. Not only does he play the best Horror character ever made but he's the best horror movie actor of all time.
Also great interview! Glad you put this video up.
he's not a great actor, but he's charismatic and became a legend in hollywood.
I'd say he's great...best horror actor of all time definitely
@@israelbenitez6346 relax it’s Boris Karloff he’s got way more range and different parts
He's the sweetest person you could ever meet a wonderful legend to know
AMAZING!!!! Freddy continues to be my all time favorite horror movie villian. Robert Englund gives this character such life.
I watched this great Wes Craven interview where he explains how originally he was going to be casting a much older man for the role of Freddy. Like 70 years old.
Freddy was a character Wes created after being scared to death by a very old creepy man when he was just a small child like 5 or 6. In the interview he talks about how when he was home as a small boy with his mother and was looking out his window this man was walking down the street and stopped right in front of his house and was staring straight at him. The man then started walking to his front door and tried coming into his house but the door was locked, Wes then ran to his mother crying but when the mother came to check the creepy man was already gone.
This is where Wes Craven created Freddy Krueger from. So when casting A Nightmare on Elm Street he kept casting these very old men like the one that scared him as a child but he realized it just didnt work for what he envisioned for the film. And he said after he saw Robert Englund audition he knew he just had to be Freddy. I believe Robert was 34 at the time of the first Nightmare. Pretty awesome story.
I love all the Freddy films. I got the pleasure of meeting Mr. Englund at a couple of conventions as well. He is really funny and nice to talk to in person. Great guy.
You really have got some great details that I had no idea of.
I was able to take off from high school back then and go to see the third one. After being able to sit down with Robert three different times, he is my favorite and most popular interview.
It really means a lot to me that you enjoyed this interview and made such great comments.
Barry Roskin Blake That is so awesome you were in high school when dream warriors came out. A Nightmare on elm street, Dream Warriors, and Dream Master are my top favorite freddy films. I always wished I was a teenager or in my early 20's in the 80s opposed to being born in 83' The 80s is my favorite decade, music, movies, everything was so well made during this era.
What a pleasure it must of been interviewing him. I must of watched these interviews with him you posted 6 times already lol job well done :)
+yummyjen Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are tons of terribly made, low quality movies from made in the '80s! And although I love lots of music from the '80s, that decade also produced some of the cheesiest shit ever recorded. It seems to me you are seeing that time period through a sugar coated lense. Just saying...
dragonsky799 geez tell me how u really feel lol you're not bursting anyones bubble sweetie. I am free to like whatever I wanna like from whatever decade I choose. As bitter as you sound you are entitled to your OPINIONS, which is exactly what they are. And I am entitled to mine, thanks for the tip though buddy lol
I'm not bitter shnookums, and I'm glad I'm not bursting your bubble either, because if you really can't laugh at or acknowledge the spandexed, neon colored, plastic cheesiness that decade is known for, I would feel really sorry for you. By the way, I never said I didn't like the '80s. There are tons of movies and music that I adore from that time period, but saying "everything was so well made" during that era is simply laughable.
For being in his 40's he looks amazing. Such a pleasant person, wow, the man is truly an under-appreciated treasure.
How is someone in their 40s supposed to look?
Born in 74,
I was terrified.
There was nothing like Krueger.
Why is it always the nice guys in real life who play these psychotic villians lol
So true Tyrel.
Though I don't know if I would ever want to get this guy angry at me. Jk.
robert englund played both roles. he played nerdy shy roles like willy in V and in The Great Smokey Roadblock and then he started playing perverted psycho roles.
whoever came up with the nice guys finished last really ended up murdered by freddy krueger
Indeed. Him, Kane Hodder, Tobin Bell, Warwick Davis...
The same with IT remake
There is nobody like him. I will alway remember my many interviews and time spent with him.
Englund ROCKS!
nice interview man
@@ETERNITYTHOT Thanks so much. Cool comments always make my day.
I'm very happy Robert is living a good life. The three times I was lucky enough to sit down with him for some great interviews and talk afterwards, I can tell you he is a lucky man for many reasons.
Other then being adored by his fans for his work, he is one of the few actors out of millions who has been able to make a very comfortable living and career for himself.
Also, one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet or work with.
It is so strange to think this cute, congenial, friendly guy was Freddie and Erik Destler. So talented 😍
He really deserved more opportunities. Freddy is great, but I wish he could have done more films in different genres , with meatier roles. More serious dramas or a good comedy.
He is the best and I owe him much more then he realizes. Those few interviews that he was always so kind enough to grant me helped forward my career enormously. I can only hope that I can repay him in some way.
Robert is such a class act, I absolutely adore him.
He was definitely scary, but I always felt there was a sensuous, sexy vibe to Freddy Krueger and seeing Robert England in this interview, it's easy to see why.🥰
hands down i dont care if robert englund ever or never makes another movie....the character freddy krueger will go down in history and he will forever be the best horror villian ever all thanks to robert englund #theboygotskillz
So true!!!
Robert Englund is not only a great actor,He is also very fucking handsome! :-)
Never knew freddy looked so good without makeup lol
DivaGirl10 damn 4 years ago u left this comment. damn I wonder if ull reply back.
Son Goku you left your comment two years ago will YOU reply
Cat you left your comment 4 months ago i wonder if you’ll reply back
@@adrianasabode1583 you left your comment 9 months ago, will you be the first person to finally reply?😭
Is anyone gonna leave a comment on my comment that I came back from the future to leave???
That laugh, absolutely epic! I wish you good health and long life, Robert.
gawd he is so hawt here and looks like lead singer (r.i.p) of Alice In Chains
He has had so many comparisons to so many people that it amazes me. Though I think your very spot on with yours.
Thanks for the comments and watching the interview.
It's nice to see all these years later, people still watch.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Hahahah I was thinking that aswell! he looks like Layne but also a tiny bit like Robby Krieger from the Doors :P
:) I agree with both comments and thanks
I'm a huge Nightmare and Englund fan, lifelong.
Hahaha when I was younger I was a huge Alice In Chains/Layne Staley fan, and if I saw this interview back then I wouldn't have been so terrified of him! :( hahaha
I LOVE Robert Englund!
Same!
Who dont? 😂😍
Please never do another Nightmare On Elm Street without Robert, he is the only and one Freddy!
He looks very handsome in this clip!
I like Freddy Krueger because you get to see these unique dream sequences that get played out instead of just a guy slashing people.
Thank you all for watching. Mr. Englund and I filmed this back in the summer of 1989.
What a true gem to the industry Robert is 🙏🏼
Yet one of the nicest guys you would ever sit down with. A really cool guy. Another of my favorite interviews that I had the chance to do.
Robert seems really cool n such a sweet guy, he is such a gifted actor and such an amazing person and humanitarian!!!
Robert Englund, the man who made Freddy Krueger Legendary. I do not think any other actor could've done it like he did, could've played that character like he did. He was the chosen one ;) Cool guy too. I liked this interview.
whenever he laughs like Freddy it just throws me into a tail spin of fangirlyness every time!
I LOVE his little commercial bits at the end! Right off the cuff!!!! Brilliant….
He was in his 40's here!? God...he's so hot, he easily could pass for 28
sure he was. robert englund turned 40 in 1987, when the 3rd movie was released, so obviously he's in his 40s here.
he looked so young for so long time, but suddenly he aged a lot and now looks older.
no he was 34 here
ASAFYY lol, no!!!! when robert englund was 34 he wasn't even starring V. robert was in his 40s there.
utubenotebanco
yea my mistake he talked about nightmare 5.any way i thought its an interview about nightmare 1 he says at 1:42 that he was 34 when he played nightmare 1, and he was 37 bacouse he born at 1947.
ASAFYY yes, he probably didn't remember how old he was. the movie was filmed in 1983 probably. who knows, but he definitely was not 34 back then.
I always loved watching his movies he was always my favorite character
I'd love to see this guy turn up in a tarintino film or something. Even if it's just a cameo.
such a nice guy ,,,, in real life,
He looks like Layne Stayley of alice in chains
lol I was about to say that. Especially when they are playing rooster live unplugged lol
Yes!!!! Always thought that!
He looks like Layne Staley in this interview
I know this is an old comment. I was just going to say that since the Would video, I have seen the similarities.
My Dad dressed up as Freddy when he was a teenager. He scarred the S#it outta the girls!
i love this actor, hes such a nice guy and he plays somebdy so evil so well. i wouldnt be able to do what he does, especially sitting in makeup for three hours. both the actor and the character are amazing. *bow to robert*
i like robert englund . he always plays the evil characters amazingly . i saw him in chuck and my reaction wanted to be "omg omg omg" but instead it was "huh hes in this"
Robert is such a great and diverse actor. Thanks for taking the time to watch the interview and comment. I love hearing from Robert Englund fans. We must keep people in the know about his talents. Maybe next time they will cast him in the series reboot.
Such a handsome and good-looking man! Still is today in 2018.
I love you Freddy 😍
I love this man! He's amazing! He is my reason to want to be an actress :)
I agree with you sooo much. There are just some actors characters that can only be played by one person. Especially when he originate the character.
his Freddy laugh is just the best
Damn he looks good '
He really reminded me of Layne Staley here. Just how his facial hair and bone structure looks.
Robert Englund has beautiful eyes, who's with me?
what an articulate guy. love this bloke
had a two hour conversation with him at the glendale, ca hilton last friday night, nicest guy you'll ever meet
Robert Englund, speaking as Freddy without any make-up, just made me love him that much more. I've only ever seen him in V and the first 5 NoES films, but I admire his dedication to his craft. I actually think character actors are way more fun to watch onscreen because they embody their roles. #TEAMFREDDYKRUEGERFOREVER
I’m so happy Robert Englund is still acting or directing… also he didn’t dive into hard drugs or alcohol at least not that we know about
One of the most decent guys out there and a pleasure to work with. Check out his performance in the original Serie ‘V’ for a totally alternate performance. You’ll love it.
@@HollywoodRequest thanks
I actually rmbr seeing a few episodes as reruns on TV in the mid or late 1980s but I just found out that Englund was in the series 😁
There is only one Freddy and it will always be Robert Englund!
Great actor. Played many great characters. He was the perfect actor to portray them too.
Robert is not only a great actor but a terrific person. I had the great pleasure of interviewing him three times over the years.
Most people don't remember that he actually was known for the nice guy roles after he stared as the good alien in 'V'.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to watch this.
Seems like such a genuine, down to earth guy. Thank you for sharing.
That was the best ending to any video I have seen on CZcams, ever. Robert Englund is fucking awesome.
I love how it’s “Freddy Krueger’s Robert Englund” rather than “Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger”, as if Robert Englund is a character Freddy plays XD
My goodness he is hot!
Your beautiful
Man, Robert looks incredible here ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lord he reminds me of Layne Staley lol
Love them both
Time sure is cruel to people. He looks so young and vibrant here. Sad to see people getting older...
LAYNE STALEY
Robert England is a legend
I would like to see robert englund and bruce campbell in a movie together. That would be so cool
OMG THAT WOULD BE THE BEEEEST!!!!!!!!
Well, Jason is still number 1 on my favourite horror-franchise list.
Freddy is number 2,
Michael is number 3,
and Chucky is number 4.
The ONLY Freddy Krueger. Champion actor, love him to bits!
OH MY GOD! Once he went into krueger mode at the end..wow..just amazing! my reaction---> O.O.. :O.. :D Love robert englund, great interview :)
Thank u for scaring the hell outta me Mr.Englund all my childhood lol fantastic
I love the first face he makes in response to the guy talking..he looks so intrigued lol
Robert is sucha down to earth guy.. So glad I met him at wizard con in mn... I've been watching freddy since I was a lil one
I love Robert Englund -3
He is just such an awesome, articulate guy!
There is NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY THAT CAN PLAY FREDDY OR DO THE VOICE ANY BETTER THAN Mr Robert Freddy Krueger Englund .
He looks like layne staley in this! Yum!
Freddy then Michael.
I used to know the producer of the Halloween series before he tragically died. After that they took Michael Meyers in a very different direction.
This is an amazing interview into the mind of Freddy Krueger from the man himself.
Only one word................... Epic. Robert is the shit. He is the only Freddy Krueger.
Whoa I never realised how handsome he is! I saw him barely with no Freddy make up sooooo
He's so awesome!
He is also such a great guy to work with. He stayed after the interview for my reversals. As a actor I can tell you that that is a true pro.
I love this guy. My interviews with him go back almost thirty years. I am so proud and glad you took the time to enjoy watching it.
Swear to God he looks like Layne Stayley in this clip. Straight up. Wow.
Ragan Tate : strangely enough, your not the first person to say that. How funny. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I hope you enjoyed it.
He seems like a nice guy and he plays arguably the most famous horror character of all time.
That ending made me be like 😺😺😺🙀🙀🙀😸😸😸
he reminds me of layne staley too.
Reminds me of an older Layne Staley
this man doesn't age
At the end I was looking into his eyes but in my mind I was saying "DON'T LOOK INTO HIS EYES!!!!". O_O
And I love that laugh!!!!
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! -:D
Robert Englund seems like a really dedicated actor. Very insightful too. Cool guy!
I loved him in "V"..."Mousey, oh, Mousey! Come here Mousey!"
He was actually 37 in the first nightmare on elm street
I can kind of relate to the Freddy Krueger character, I would call myself the phantom. Raaaaggghhhh!!!
He was great as Willie in "V" as well. Robert Englund rocks!
That's where I first saw him as a kid. He's such a great guy to work with on camera as well as off.
This was such a fun interview to do and I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching.
7:41
Holy shit.
Robert Englund would have made a dead ringer for a Layne Staley biopic at this age!
❤❤❤❤❤ I loved and love this man , Forever Freddy
He's the only Freddy
damn, I think I'm in love...
The man is a legend.
