These old interviews reveal what elegance has escaped us here in the 21st century. 😔
Even nature documentaries or any documentaries back in the day, many of them are better.
This guy was born to make people laugh. Impossible not to smile, just by looking at him. Yet, he was very wise, sensitive and humble too. Most celebrities today are nothing like that.
Yeah, he had one of those faces that make you laugh on sight lol
I think you're hit the nail on the head there. Most "celebrities". That's what most of them are. Whereas so many actors from the 40s-70s had lived actual real lives too and became famous by accident of filmmaking. So they had humanity, a sense of reality. And also used the absurdity of normal life in film. Making it so much more relatable.
Well said and I fully agree 👍
I luv Gene Wilder ❤❤
@@OlafProtto be fair, most Hollywood actors lived in a bubble back then also, particularly the Golden Age, 40s, 50s.. People generally just had more style.
A delightful interview with this lovely man. His reaction to the question about meeting Mel Brooks was very sweet. They were a match made in heaven.
Come with Gene and you'll be in a world of pure imagination 😃
What a charming man.
A very thoughtful, insightful interview. Great questions & excellent answers. I wasn't aware the Gene Wilder was such a deep thinker. Would that all celebrity interviews were like this.
We lost a an amazing talent when Gene left this earth. Everything about him was awesome. He was humble, super smart, witty, an incredibly deep thinker and no doubt an amazing person to know in real life. He will always be one of my favorite actors and I love watching his movies over and over. Vale Gene, i doubt that you got the accolades that you really deserved whilst alive.
I marvel at your brilliance and total comic genius.
What a gem ! Loved all his movies ! From Wonka to Blazing to Young Frank ! And many more
I’m a Gene Wilder fan. 2 men were very important to his film career: Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor. His best work, to me, was when he collaborated with those 2 guys.
Truly great man inside and out, very articulate and always calm and well spoken, in 2024 the interviewer would be none stop interrupting and trying to make it about themselves and talking about social media and boring stuff like that, this was how you interview a star
The best Willie Wonka ever
Thanks BBC, yet another absolte gem from the archives. 👍
One of my absolute favourite actors, and a fascinating interview that finished way too soon. His smile brings back so many memories. Please post more of this interview, and others from the same era. The film stars of this time seemed to have something about them that's lacking today. Intelligence, humility, self-awareness, sensitivity and charisma.
What an interesting man he was. Shame we dont have interviews like this today.
He’s trying not to laugh the whole time 😂 makes me smile watching him
'Being funny is a serious business'.
I Love Gene Wilder since I was a Child 😍 LOVED his hair, Beautiful Eyes, and his Smile 😊
Not only was he a Brilliant Actor, HE was Gorgeous 🤩🥰😍😍😍😍. THANK You for showing THIS ☺️💗❣️
one of my absolute heroes thank you for uploading
He was a champion fencer too, would you believe it!
Watching this reminds me of the wee crush I had on him when I was in early middle school, even before I knew what a crush was.
Gene wilder rest in sweet eternal peace..❤you were TRULY amazing 😢
Great interview with a great actor.
A great actor love all the movies he is in
No one could play comedic exasperation as brilliantly as Gene Wilder; even John Cleese's Basil Fawlty pales in comparison.
What made him great was being a brilliant actor. One of the best.
Such a wonderful one-off.
Sheep is the theme …..Gene Wilder always made me smile 🙏🙏🙏🌟
One of my favourite people
What a lovely interview. I sometimes wish that I could have a conversation with someone who would casually use the word "facetious." However, that doesn't actually happen as often as one would think.
I can't believe how full of themselves tv presenters were. Gene is so serious and humble.
Great interview
He is beautiful
He was the best Willy Wonka. Loved him in see no evil hear no evil with the brilliant Richard Pryor. 🇬🇧
Brilliant movie, soundtrack composed by Stewart Copeland. So many funny scenes in this film, my favorite being the one in the hotel and them both pretending to be doctors from Germany and Sweden. 😂
Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman?
So charming in Silver Streak 😢
Thank you, Chef!!!
Did he study Aberdeen fans before filming "Everything you wanted to know about sex,but where afraid to ask"?😂
Legend. Forever stir crazy
Wonderful video wonderful actor I'd love to know more about what is spoke about an answer to the first question
When interviewers were good... He reminds me of Dylan in this.
GW got some very beautiful hands❤
I remember a movie he was in with Harrison Ford.
Dr frahkensteen I presume. 😂
Had Gene Wilder been Welsh, the question of whether an attraction was possible simply would not have arisen.
