Bragi the Skaldic King I don't know if this are facts or just rumors, but I read somewhere that Lee was also a WWII spy. Is that true?
Americnas, English, Germans, Russians, everyone in Europe, all respect him. I am American and think he's god damn amazing. One of the best actors to ever live
I know what you mean. I want kids and to have close friends, my brother s and have them learn. I want them to learn icelandic. since my family is from Olaf the black
Johan Öberg So true... I think, i was never so saddend by the death of a person I actually never met. He is a great loss indeed, as a actor and as a human being. But his lifework makes him immortal and he will live on in his fans hearts!
Mote141 Even if seymour hoffmann and robin williams death shocked me i felt way more sadder with christopher lees death,he had a fasciniting life and career he was one of the last of hollywoods greats :D
Hugo Fernandes yup! Can't agree more. The guy was a war hero, spy, fencer, singer, actor and (who knows what else) he did not just do those things, he did them exceptionally well. He was also by all accounts a great, kind man. Like you, I feel like I lost a relative, that is the sign of greatness.
+Johan Öberg (Protoman85) He was the same age my great-grandfather died at. I never knew Christopher personally but for some reason he always felt like a distant great-grandfather to me that I never met... Rest in peace you shining example of a human being.
Translation from German: Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you very much. This is a big honor for me. 0:54: I am born in 1922 so i am 91 years old. Not 92. In three months i will be 92. Hopefully. 3:06: Its so sad and it is so important too.
Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, John Carradine... best horror stars ever. When Sir Christopher passes away, it'll truly be the end of an age.
Yet he hates whne someone calls him 'horror legend'. After he was done with Dracula he didnt want to play in any horror film ever. He actually kind of hates the role.
I. Thorberg You seem to know more about him then I do, so you are porbably right. I just remembered him saying in an interview that he doesnt want to be remembered just for Dracula.
What a great man. He is unfortunately looking very frail, but his legacy and impact on the film industry is stronger than any other's and it will endure for many, many more years to come. A legend in every sense of the word and a national treasure. The world is very lucky to have someone like this who has gifted us with so many amazing performances.
what a Legend, RIP Sir Christopher Lee, I was growing up getting to know you as the wise wizard Saruman, you are indeed a great actor, you will be sorely missed. Hope I could reach the age of 93 like you did.
You can see that though heartfelt, the letter would not have conveyed this hugely powerful message had it been read by someone else. It moved me to tears, and Sir Christopher did a great deed by reading it. And of course, you can tell that he's using his skills and voice to make the letter that much powerful.
A true star from a bygone era of stellar actors and actresses. You managed to frighten the life out of me as Dracula, the greatest ever Prince Of Darkness. A blazing career and a life well lived. RIP Christopher Lee 1922 - 2015.
RIP Sir Christopher Lee. You were and will always be a legend, and my hero. It's touching how he integrated a young girl's cry for help and plea to have her hopes and dreams brought back to life. He was truly amazing.
How beautiful to take the light off himself and use it to address a human tragedy that is still ongoing. An ambassador for humanity. Bless you Sir Christopher.
Ein grosser Schauspieler ist nicht mehr da... Man wird Ihn nur noch im Film lebendig sehen.. Aber Ihn unseren Herzen lebt Christopher Lee immer noch weiter..
Sir Christopher Lee, I am happy and proud I've had the chance in my life to meet your career, watch your films, and hear your voice of a feudal lord. You will always be remembered, 3 times 90 from now forth.
They are shakespearean actors, they all have or had powerful voices as they had to practise them. It's part of the shakespearean acting. Patrick Stewart, vincent price, Ian McKellen, Chris Lee, John Gielgud, Peter Cushing, the list goes on
When I heard of Sir Christopher Lee's passing it was like losing a father my real father was 86 years old now he's 89 I pray that God gives my father a long healthy life Sir Lee will be missed he was a great actor I can't believe that he's gone my condolences to his wife and daughter.
My favourite member from the terror trio along with Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. What fantastic memories they all brought to the movie screen. We will always have the movies to remember you by, especially the Hammer period which scared me to death as a youngster. R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee. Thank you for bringing so much pleasure over the years. You will be sorely missed but your legend never forgotten as one of the true greats. Reply ·
He was a true legend. He was the greatest man I've ever known besides my grandfather! He has spent his last days fighting for the last hopes of humanity. He will forever stay in our hearts. He was the biggest sunshine ever!
His words spoken on this occasion were of deep substance and a stark reality and a call for sanity and peace. His words were a call for hope and an end to suffering. His words will echo long into the night and will settle in our consciousness. A man of substance, Christopher Lee is.
Lee....My wonderful Christopher Lee ... So versatile , so realistic, so talented, so imposing .....One of God's greatest gifts to the world of acting....The most compelling voice ever to have been heard in movies....I don't think the gap his passing has lleft will be filled in for a very long span of time...If it ever will....
Such a great man! It is impressive and touching to see someone at that age trying to draw attention to this human tragedy. Rest in peace Sir Christopher Lee, you will be missed.
Thank you, Sir Lee, for working this hard to heal the world. Thank you, Habar, for sending your signal so that we may hear you. I hear you. There are millions, if not billions of you. All over the world. You all deserve to be empowered to do great things with your great love and tender feelings. I am so glad Sir Lee chose to share your letter with us in this event. May your words go straight into the ears of those who can and will do something to help.
He definitely was an amazing man, but if you have ancestry from West Europe, then you are probably a descendant of Charlemagne. It isn’t uncommon at all. You just need to find your connections to him.
One of the greatest bad guy and good guy actors to ever have walked the earth. R.I.P. Mr. Lee and peace to your surviving loved ones. My favorite movie sword fight of all time was when you and michael york fought it out. Yes york played the good guy yet it would not have been possible with out a convincing villain. You made that performance! We are all at a loss
I've only just starting to watching the old hammer films recently. Lee and Peter Cushing are amazing, so can't wait to see the rest of them. The one and only Dracula and legend, RIP Sir Christopher Lee.
Such a humble and down to earth man. Doing so many things he enjoyed and done everything with passion. Just look his reaction at the end, it means the world to him to have such support from other people.
I Hope , No I Know , Sir Christopher Lee Is Happy In The High Heavens. Thank You For Your Service,Your Performance, & Your Powerful Influence You Have N Had On The Human Species This Planet Has Had The Honor To Have🙏🏽
i feel bad for him he is the BEST actor of all time for me fuck this shit ...... I have got no words now...... Goodbye forever, My master Count Dooku, Saruman You are in our hearts forever
He seems to be struggling to speak here... I wonder if we are going to lose him soon. I will cry when that day comes, for Christopher Lee is one of my all-time favorite actors, but all men are mortal, we shall all die one day. Still, the world will be a very very different place when Christopher Lee is gone.
I WOULD say Christopher Lee is my hero but considering he played Scaramanga, Saruman and Count Dooku, he is my villain! He's not in bad shape for his age. Here's hoping to many more years to a LEGENDARY human being!

He is one with the force now.

+MrSinister1990 y'all are giving me goosebumps 😝👍🏼❤️💋
Know this: Even at 92 years of age, Lee is way more metal than any of us will ever be.
Mental not Metal/ll
I would like this comment, but it will make it 67, and just wanted to keep it 66!
@@jimcameron1234 He made multiple metal albums bro, in his 80s and 90s. He was super metal
He even made some heavy metal songs
23 years as the leader of the sith will do that to a person... Gladly took the reigns a few years ago. It was lovely.
RIP. He is dead now, and it hurts like losing a grandfather.
Johan Öberg thats true

Cmon... couldn't someone have given him a life elixir or something... how could we allow losing such a great man?
Aw, the screen voice of evil is really the warm voice of human empathy. He seems slightly emotional with it all.
That audience is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. That shows how much respect they had for this man.
The camera is a wondrous device. To be able to see these moments long after these actors are gone is a gift that should be treasured.
CZcams Recommendations end of 2019: we need you all to see Christopher Lee from 2013-2014
Hail Sir! You are simply the best actor that ever walked on this earth!
Sadly he is not walking here for long ;_;
The higher man Don't say that!
***** your reply is completely pointless
He’s walking on the heavens, now…
Sir Christopher: not only a great actor but a great human being. A true gentleman. Love him.
Ja ja ja a mi Cristopher Lee me gusta mucho pero cuando está traducido a español

he was knighted. For me that whould definitly beeing honoured
I can't find any words to describe this incredible man, I just bow down to him.
Truly a legend.
if God could speak to Men , he would have the sound of Christopher Lee! we were lucky to have him with us.

The ultimate movie legend and true Tolkien bad ass. May he rest in peace.
I just love to listen to his dark, wonderful voice! His and Ian McKellen´s! Their voices is just pure awesomeness
