- Andrew talks to me about some of his special moments in Wham, His love for Cornwall and about his various charity projects. This interview was aired on SKY TV October 18. This is the full version.
Andrew is a class act. Such a handsome gentleman. He & George were the best of friends. Always kept his & George’s life private. They never through each other under the bus. Great friends. He will always greatly miss George. ❤️😍💕😭😭😭

Love so much Andrew!! ❤
Piers Morgan can take lessons from this guy on how to respectfully interview someone and then behave after even if you do not get the answers you wanted
thank you so much this is lovely to hear x
Thanks to Andrew for befriending Michael and building his self esteemand taking him down the music path We came out winners with their successful music in/ out of Wham Thanks Andrew with those beautiful Eyes.
My goodness, those eyes. I could lose myself completely in those eyes. I met Andrew in Easons in Dublin when he was promoting his book, WHAM! George and Me. I've met quite a few celebs over the years, one or two of them I've met 4 or 5 times, so, I thought, "I've got this! I can handle meeting Andrew Ridgeley. Not a bother." (He's my guitar idol and I did favour Andrew over George. I loved George Micheal, but, Andrew won my heart.) Anyway, I queued up met Andrew Ridgeley and I immediately turned into a star-struck love-struck teenager, (I'm 48). I blabbed about how gorgeous he still was and how I spent every moment watching his left on the fretboard jotting down the chords to every WHAM! song and practicing the chords and his dance moves in my bedroom. He is a complete gentleman. He has this very calming, relaxing and very down to earth aura about him. If you haven't gotten the book, buy it. It's excellent!
@@TheGreenhillsCyclistInRagOrder you said my words.... exactly...but I did not get to ever meet him... now in this pandemic it is my only life regret...and I too have met many a super hottie celebrity...even been chest too chest wet with Kelly Slater on a surfboard
..I kid you not..but I have a life size Andrew cardboard cutout and it makes my heart palpatate...he is my muse! I play guitar too and his photos playing guitar have been on my wall next to Clapton, Bowie and Sting😁! Your cool! Stay Alive and pray I get to be as lucky as you!
What a lovely man Andrew is, and congratulations to the interviewer for asking interesting, and respectful questions without intruding. Thank you
Thankyou for the lovely comment.
I made sure Andrew had the chance to speak about his passion and just allow him to answer what he liked. I am glad you enjoyed X
Mitzi Glitzi I absolutely agree I was quite relieved that he stayed away from mentioning any Wham topics...
I’m sure Andrew appreciated that as well.
Andrew Ridgeley just makes me happy, and his total lack of ego is inspiring !!! He gets on with his life and does nothing to spoil or sully his past, and lest we forget his love for George Michael !!!
Me too....he should run things in Brittan..God save the Queen 😁
I always liked Wham. Glad to see Andrew is doin good
Ha ha
@@puffchick4197 Hi 🤟🤟
A great guy and a true friend to our beloved George.
Andrew is a gentleman brought up very well his parents should be proud!!
It’s genuine of Andrew that he can tell you the exact details of one of the recipients of the program. A true mentor and social worker at heart❤
Well done Andrew on giving back to the world, a true inspiration for all the takers in this life, may the world look after you.
I love George Michael and Andrew both are both good people I'm so glad that George found Andrew
Great interview! Andrew has such a lovely personality and still just as handsome as he was in the 80’s.
Who else can't wait for the book
The wait is over.
Such a wonderful man. Wish you all the best Andrew ❤❤❤
Andrew, can you imagine how much money can be raised from donations from all Wham! and George fans around the world for a release of the Final Concert, the Big Tour or any other Wham! concert, as NOTHING exists? EVERYONE loves Wham! and we fans even more.
Yeah plz release concerts from The Final Club Fantastic Whamamerica and Big tours
That is an excellent idea!! And, definitely would raise a lot of money for the charity!! Great suggestion.
@@jneal21 If George didn't want it released it won't be
I would buy it!
It was very polite and professional that the interviewer talked about him in the first quarter before moving on to Yog🤔
Thank you x
Such a lovely man full of class and love for his Angel friend George love them and the their elegants band Deep souls.miss them
The set rocks! Great interview. You gave Andrew a fantastic platform to speak and be heard.
What a wonderful person Andrew is. So handsome and classy. I true friend to George. Andrew needs to be out in the celebrity world more he’s amazing.
I hear Andrew is writing a wonderful book, about George and himself. The younger years. Congratulations, Andrew!
Ever wonder if George fancied Andrew?
@Elios Jones Makes sense.
@@ConservativeAnthem
Hol' up...
@Elios Jones He would say that. So how come most of George's partners apart from one also had a Mediterranean background?
@@ConservativeAnthem He's straight
what a nice modest chap
What a wonderful and respectful interview. Andrew was open as usual and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you so much for interviewing Andrew. BTW, I subscribed to your channel. Hope that helps and it's my way of showing my appreciation.
thank you so much
I had a crush on Andrew in my teens when Wham! came about through their popularity and great success. I always found him more attractive than George, but it's probably because when I was a teen and in my twenties, dark-haired men were my type/interest. :)
Me too. And tall men. I've always loved tall men. I'm 5 foot and a quarter of an inch, (that quarter of an inch is very important to me.) Minimum height requirement in a man, 5 foot 8 inches, maximum height 6 foot 4 inches!
He is just smoking hot , he can't contain it. I was shaking the first time I saw him! He didn't need to sing, dance, be funny, cool, but bonus! Honestly he is the most beautiful man on earth.
@@TheGreenhillsCyclistInRagOrder im only 5'7"..but a 9-inch cock🤔😜
Most beautiful interviews i have ever seen!
Well well done!
A very good interview!!
thank you x
Wonderful interview thank you!
Nice little interview congratulations on your interviews Lewis your style is just right,you ask the right questions and allow the stars to talk without interfering or breaking the flow👍
What a wonderful charity.
I always wondered what happened to Andrew after Wham! broke up in the late 80's.
Really good interview
I really think this was a very good interview … I have seen interviews when I did not think Andrew was treated fairly…he would be asked questions about George that was too personal and it was obvious Andrew did not appreciate be asked. Great interview. I know he misses George, but glad his friend is no longer struggling and in so much pain.
George will be missed Andrew and George was a great team and the girls too I wish I could have met all four
Great interview and easy on the eyes :-)
Not that easy
@@edwardbalboa5528 😆
Great interview. Really awesome the interview was focused on Mr. Andrew & his work.
I'm very glad to see ajr here, he is so handsome as wham! years.
Andrew, I loved your Wham! hair, I thought you were really cute and you still are. Your charity work sounds wonderful--I've followed your posts and pix when you were on the cycle slam. Great interview, makes me want to visit Cornwall, which I always heard was lovely. Maybe I'll run into Andrew there--would be great!
Still a striking chap! There's something Mediterranean about him.
Max Heidcase he’s part Egyptian but born in UK
Part Italian as well ...
Have him on the show again
Well this is my favorite interview and set, I spent years in Hawaii at a popular Celebrity surf spot and I always hoped Andrew would show up, but sadly he didn't 😏🌴...but his book takes me to Club Paradise behind the scenes all that and then some...it is so juicy...just as I expected. So good to finally have Andy be heard on his terms...if I were him I would have probably knocked out some previous interviewers ...now the world knows how he shared , guides to be healthy, be wealthy, be wise, and care fore others....I mean give him a NOBEL PRIZE.👍. P.s. I got talked into a few crazy athletic challenges too love that there is another common ground.😘
Thank you Christy I am glad you enjoyed it. Could you please subscribe to my channel ? x
Andrew was an especially good for George very good and also George was a very good man Ian Andrew both were good singers
Very professional interview!
Good job!👍🏻
So beautiful!!!
Amazing how much like his Dad he looks.
Siempre estuve enamorada de Andrew y hasta ahora escucho su acento ..que sexy
Love wham😘💋🥰love andy
its so funny how different people see a place. Having moved west we went to look at Cornwall . This is what we found . A few places take your breath away, usually coastal , but when there your never alone . Any where worth going to is PACKED . Internal Cornwall is bleak and tatty. But then I guess horses for courses. For those that love iit, Im pleased for them but for me , Cornwall was some where I was glad to leave.
he lives in the countryside i imagine his place is very private
Never been but if I could meet Andy...I would go.
He is looking good these days
A fine classy gentleman, I always missed Wham as a duet. There was a story that George was often lonely and sometimes he went to Andrew and Karen's living place with helicopter. Nice guys have left us really great music, I listen it now as gladly as then. Really a music with a heart and soul. There are no more such bands with personality and a character, sadly. Greetings Andrew from Croatia
Пожалуйста, хоть одно интервью с Эндрю Риджли с русской озвучкой!)
Lewis, would be great if you did the definitive interview with Kate Bush. If you do, maybe major on the 'Hounds of Love': an absolute masterpiece. Lovin your work.
I love his accent, is it received pronunciation?
What accent he speaks English
I don't believe it is RF. Estuary perhaps?
@@StarzzyJJASD English ppl have accents as well you know
It's pretty typical just generic south east England accent.
I hope he’s well. He’s looking thinner in 2019
Andrew was always a slim guy.
Looks good to me!!
He looks darker.
He's as handsome as ever.
@@karenlnsy no homo..)..he was better looking on the Wham -Final sleeve album🤔📀💿💽
I found this painful to watch. Andrew seemed perturbed.Andrew & George Rocked & Ruledthe 80's. I hope he continues George's legacy.
Dan Chauhan He’s probably not used to putting himself out in public nowadays as he was back when he was part of Wham!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇩🇴
...you look like vitaly.
Почему они расстались?
😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😍
I hope you enjoyed the interview would be amazing if you could subscribe to my channel please would appreciate the support x
Fallen
sorry his behavior toward george and continues after his death- whilst george made sure he got royalties from careless whisper so he'd never need or want for anything.. i know he is the person who helped george in the beginning , however, george is and was the actual talent.. and his behavior since george's death has been unacceptable.. surf away dude but don't talk smack about the man that made you money
corrine, forgive me for asking but what has Andrew done against George?
Okay, so you do realize that Andrew was the visionary for the Wham! concept, right? He created their image. George was a very talented, but just as Shy young man, and Andrew gave George his nerve to perform, George and Andrew were great friends who became apart of a very successful pop group, which allowed George to launch his solo career. Now, George could have been a successful Solo artist all along, considering his talent, but would he have had the Nerve or Confidence to do it... George even admitted that he missed hanging out with Andrew while touring when he went solo, because he didn't connect with anyone, like he did with Andrew, so he wasn't having any fun...Be clear, Wham! was Andrew and George, and it was only fair that Andrew receive the Royalties for Careless Whisper, because he helped write it and he was apart of the group, when the song was released for success. I don't know what attitude you are complaining about, so 'you wanna be starting something'...Get over it and leave Andrew alone.
Agreed. Attention seeking mega bore
Yeaah
Corrine Noah Andrew has done nothing but respect George all them ugly split rumors were tabloids waiting for the when they mutually split as they always planned he has said nothing since George died except one thing expressing his grief you have him confused with Andros Kenny and possibly Fadi
Is he also gay ,sure sounds like ,he was with woman later ,was he a top ?
He’s middle class, dear. He’s also in the arts. 🤦🏻♂️
Jack O’nory what you mean middle class gay ? Or top in the Relationship with George ,that means he was on top of him doing his ass ,that’s what the gays do who are tops then he switched to marriage with woman ,so is he a bi ? Bi gay middle class top in gay relationships ?what fucking middle class he’s millionaire ,are millionaires middle class in England?
Andrew has never been gay. He was with Karen from Bananarama until a couple of years ago.
Raking it in since george died
George let Andrew have the royalties of some songs, so he would never have to worry about money. Done out of love, for a friend. Plus Andrew had his part to play in Wham, obviously, which made millions.
George was not concerned about money, he wouldn't mind. Particularly as he does so much charity work..
Yeah Andrew was raking in the money for CHARITY with his book.
Fell asleep after 2 mins
"Fell asleep after 2 mins". Why?
Lol u fell asleep, you missed a great interview
And yet you managed to post your comment in your sleep. Brilliant, you are.
He’s just making money of George period
No I know he likes Cornwall I no longer like him
I'm guessing you're in Devon: )
