Loved him as an actor. Trust me giving his own drink isn it generosity it’s a drunk who likes to have others drinking around him. That’s what drunks do.
I was born in 1995, and when Gladiator came out I was allowed to watch it, it became my favourite film as a 5 year old boy and I was always captivated by Olivers character Proximo. It wasn't until I was much older that I learned Oliver had passed away whilst filming and he I developed an obsession with his mannerisms, attitude and general life Philosophy. A giant of a man, both on screen and off, his vices never detracted from his sheer magnetism RIP Mr Reed, you continue to inspire and lead to this day.
A man who lived his life the way he wanted to. Would have loved to have heard his views today on wokeism and the cancel culture! You are sadly missed Olly. 👍
He was a raging alcoholic, and he made no lie of it. Most alcoholic deny they even have a problem but Oli was doing it on a public platform and a star. It didn't bother him what ppl thought about his alcoholism, as he knew he did great films and was excellent in his career and that is what I will remember him by. RIP Oliver Reed.
@@ColonPal -- he didn't drink as much as you say. He died at an old age and not of alcoholsim. He died because he overexerted his heart. The heart can only take so much BPM and he was exhausting himself while armwrestling, which has been said is like running an Ironman Trialthalon. He was very healthy when he left us. Very strong and biting friendly at the pub while taking a break from filming a great role in Gladiator.
@@dabneyoffermein595 Lol! He died from a heart attack while playing a drunken game: According to witnesses, he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac,[58] in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub. His bar bill totaled a little over 270 Maltese lira (almost 450 GBP; about 590 USD). After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance.[59] He was 61 years old.[59]
I had a drink with old Ollie in a pub in Ireland while in holiday. He lined up pints of Guiness + whisky chasers . He was a lovely fella ( probably early 50s at the time ). But you got the feeling he could make mincemeat out of you on any topic , he was very astute and kept you on your toes. The TV drunk act is just for show i think, he was polite with the public. I had a terrible headache later trying to keep up at his mental level and thought i was going to die the morning after with the worst hangover ive ever had. I drank so much that i went to the toilet in the pub and couldnt face anymore and sloped off while he was busy chatting to another punter !
what a hero..ollie reed...such an educated man...with such a great outlook on life....one sip of a drink in this whole interview.. but yet its posted (drinking uncut)... he speaks from his heart..so much stories to tell and what a comedian....he's watching us all from heaven
Why are you making excuses? He was a talent who turned his brain to shit by drinking. He now best serves as a warning to people who think drinking is cool. Very sad
A brilliant man. He was so intellectual and just a great voice and a great moral man. He never cheated on anyone, never disrespected anyone , and always was an upstanding British actor of the highest order and integrity. I love that man for who he was and for going to pubs and talking to the ordinary man.
@@matimus100 Yes, he was a great one, was of the last. He partied with Keith Moon (Moon had a unique style of play). Moon was from Wembley. Joined THE WHO in 1964 before the first album press. They could really party it up at the mansion.
@@redfield1007 --- he was a great man because he was a great man. some men love to drink, he was no different than most British men who love the pubs. He was distinguished, had exceptional taste, loved a beer or two, and loved the ladies too. he was not shy, a VERY intelligent man (very high IQ), a brilliant business man (just ask his agent/manager - his brother). They were very close and his brother made him millions during negotiations with big film companies. They would always go drink with the corporate head honchos of the big 3 in Europe.

Oliver Reed like Errol Flynn - became a legend in his own lifetime. Which of todays actors could aspire to be remembered as such? Still a much missed colourful fragment in our bland lives. Cheers Ollie!
Such a wonderful speaking voice! Compare it to the interviewer's voice under the same recording conditions - such a huge difference. And remember, Ollie wasn't a trained actor so it's his natural speaking voice.
A talented actor, who was one of my favourites. A raging alcoholic, bent on self-destruction, who never reached his bottom. A tortured soul, who left too soon. And no one EVER sat down with him, to try to heal or stop him.
He wasn't that tortured. Lived in posh houses with plenty of dosh and women and had his fill of indulgence. If you want to feel sorry for someone, there are plenty of worthier candidates.
All i can do is wish that i was born 30 years earlier, i would have loved to see first - hand what life was like back in the 60's and 70's. Oliver Reed is a legend and shining example of none - conformity that we may never see again.
Ollie Reed could have made a lot more money acting if he moved to America but he preferred to stay in England, he hired his plumber pal from the pub to be head gardener and spent a fortune restoring a stately home. It took twice as long to do because many afternoons Ollie would order the workmen to down tools and join him in the local pub for drinks.
It was supposed to be Oliver and Alex Higgings because they are both in the Troggs "wild thing" video. He asked him off camera where Alex was and he said " the car stopped at the lights up the road and he just got out and walked off"
Pure Great British talent the man could act just look at his performance in his final role, win the crowd win your freedom, well you are certainly free now and the crowd will always love and respect you. I raise my glass to a great actor. 🍷
4:36- beyond, he brought a tear to my eyes. here is a man who drank and knew how to drink. here is a man who did it gracefully and was not afraid to do it dying gracefully
I suspect that Olly didn't want to live to an old age, he lived his own life to the max and was smart enough to know what his alcoholism would do to him.
Oliver was a passionate man and of course he would have loved alcohol as it would have enabled him to express those passions and even though he could probably have done that sober it certainly wouldn't have been as much fun lol RIP Robert Oliver Reed.
Great actor great character the guy is so funny makes you wonder sometimes is he just over acting his drunked state suppose only he knew I love to see this side of him missed by many god bless you man.
Would have been fantastic to have been in a pub at the same time as Oliver Reed. He talks more sense drunk than a lot of people do sober. I'll forgive him for not knowing that The Big Bopper sadly died in the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly. May they all Rock in Peace, and may Ollie Rock on too.
" I don't know where the shit I am. " Hilarious. But I loved how Ollie ended it when asked if he had anything to say to the viewers - " Bring a smile to their face. " Awesome. Thanks Oliver Reed for bringing a smile to our face with your great acting all those years and your great rebel " take no prisoners " honest outlook on life. You are very much missed 20 years later after you passed. Rest in peace friend. You remain one of my all time favorite actors.
Seen some of his films and in terms of screen prescence I can' think of anybody who gets even close. Those amazing eyes of his could tell you what was going on his head
Agreed! Even though he'd have been 54 in this clip, he still comes across as being on the edge of controlling his temper - and that you wouldn't want to be around if he lost it. They don't make them like this anymore. A great man greatly missed.
Oliver Reed was a brilliant actor. And so fast and clever when he was being interviewed. I remember he was on the Michael Aspel and company chat show drunck. Then about 2 years later he was a guest on the same show again, he was so different, he was sober, clean shaven and had on a nice suit and tie on. He walked on and was just so different sober, hes very very clever and when Aspel asked him a question Oliver looked at him for a long 6 seconds then started going into really deep detail about the question and the answer all at the same time and i was age about 14 or 15 at the time and hadnt seen Oliver Reed just as himself and not acting and i thought this mans a walking encyclopedia, i had no idea he was like that. And Aspels face was going pure red incase Oliver asked him what he thought lol and wanting a good answer back but Aspel got of lightly. Becouse i had only seen Olly in films up until then. I remember when i was age about 9 in 1982 i loved staying up late to watch the hammer horror films on a friday or saturday in the good old days. And Oliver was in one of the best horror films i have seen but i just cant remember what its called?? It was made around 1968 to 1971 At pinewood studios, i used to thinck pinewood studios must be huge as in 8 mile long and 8 mile wide. But to cut the story short it was about an old big house that was a bit scary and had a mind of its own wich most of them had, but i clearly remember there was something really dangerous in the attic and i didnt know who or what it was becouse no one ever went up there and inside it for years becouse the ones that did didnt come back out ever again and the house was about 4 floors high and had an empty old swimming pool at the back or the side of the house, so as good as the film was the end was near with 5 to 10 minutes of film left and Oliver got the key of the attic and went up slowly and opened the attic door and slowly walked in and knew where he was going but never spoke, then the next 5 seconds the camera showed Oliver screaming then he dived head first through the window and head and face first into the old swimming pool, as he lay dead with eyes open showing pure fear and blood around his head. Then the words slowly went up as the camera slowly backed away then looked up to the window he came out of to say its in hear and no ones going to see it or him or her. You would bet like most films you would see it at the end, but no not in this one, its funny how they dont even need to show you what was in the attic but its still a great film. I had to laugh when oliver was on aspel the second time becouse he said "the last time i was on this show some one asked me why do you drink and i thought what a complete ass" becouse i enjoy it. Its like some one asking you why do you eat good food. Becouse you like it. Its so true but. You would thinck the people that ask that would even feel a bit daft themselfs for asking the obvious! RIP Oliver Reed
Oliver Reed reminds me of some of my French ex girlfriends. I knew going in (no not like that), that I was about to play with one of the wildest of animals... Something so alluring that it was only going to end one way. The sense of imminent danger was 80% of the attraction, never once did I want to tame one. Glad nobody tamed Oliver, but many have enjoyed the danger. My mother still melts when she sees him. 🎯
Ah, Ollie, Richards and Peter. What a bunch of unique human beings. I love em and I try my best to learn from them. Learn what? That life should not be taken too seriously -lets drink and have a bloody good time!
I just discovered this man I can't stop watching his videos he was genius
They don't make them like Olie anymore. Great man.
He has that effect on people.
Watch his movies
Same! Lol I watched a clip from Tommy because I was watching the who concerts and the rabbit hole began 😅
You have to see two of his movies " Women in love " and " Lady Chatterley lover ", he is hypnotic.
I always get great joy but also sadness with his interviews
It's heart breaking he didn't break his drinking habit before it broke him.
Makes me sad, I think he was damaged , maybe from his childhood.
@@susansharkey2372 He had a very weird childhood if you read any books about him.
Mr Reed gave him his own Drink !! Can you believe this? shows you the generosity and sincerity of him !! R.I.P. Ollie !
Loved him as an actor. Trust me giving his own drink isn it generosity it’s a drunk who likes to have others drinking around him. That’s what drunks do.
@@Elizabeth-nl5ui That's approaching it. He wanted company and was trying to break the young man away from his notes.
@@Elizabeth-nl5ui nope....the camera crew were supplying the drink he asked them for another drink later
I was born in 1995, and when Gladiator came out I was allowed to watch it, it became my favourite film as a 5 year old boy and I was always captivated by Olivers character Proximo.

"I'll put my plonker on the table and I'll take it off unless you feed me mushy peas" ... without context
He’s not wrong !
lmao
"Did you play the werewolf?", absolute classic!.All things considered; I thought Ollie was very gentle in his handling of the callow youthling.
Ollie is taking the piss out of the interview and interviewer ... sadly, these days, so called celebrities haven't 100th of his talent and humour!
Why are you making excuses? He was a talent who turned his brain to shit by drinking. He now best serves as a warning to people who think drinking is cool. Very sad

Something so alluring that it was only going to end one way. The sense of imminent danger was 80% of the attraction, never once did I want to tame one. Glad nobody tamed Oliver, but many have enjoyed the danger. My mother still melts when she sees him. 🎯
Ah, Ollie, Richards and Peter. What a bunch of unique human beings. I love em and I try my best to learn from them. Learn what? That life should not be taken too seriously -lets drink and have a bloody good time!

Facinating.
My old man was one of these characters. Enigmatic to outsiders, nightmare at home. Drunks are boorish, weak and irresponsible.
