Wow. This was Aaron at 25 and he was so sweet, charming, polite, grateful and inspiring. I wish that Aaron would of been able to keep up this side of him. He really was a good person and he was kind and hard working. Drugs are pure Hell and it changes people. I am so sad that Aaron passed away at only 34 years old. He had a baby boy to take care of. This is just heartbreaking.
Too bad his parents are bad😢
It is truly heartbreaking.😭😭😭
Ich stimme dir absolut zu!!!es ist so verdammt schade um aaron!!!so ein süsser ,angenehmer typ...😫😭😔💖
It is heartbreaking. His family are in my prayers.
He was always that way even in his 30s. His addiction was winning however
Aaron Carter is a great guy. He was my daughter's make a wish to meet him back in 2002 and he was a prince. He spent a lot of time with her at the height of his fame at a Chicago concert date. My family and I were extremely impressed. What a great guy.
Wow that's a really great story... And I'm the first comment. Hmm
@@clipsedrag13 well he got 200 likes
❤️
And he charged $30,000.. we all saw NoJumper.
@Donkey Bellerin he charged $30,000 to play the concert. I'm not sure who paid it, I'm guessing the Make a Wish foundation did.
No face tattoo, no interrupting, no voice trembling, polite, open and honest.
That was Aaron I used to love.
Even though he was struggling with drug issues and family, he tried to get back on track because that's where his passion was heading for.
Totally...fit healthy normal....no tattoo on a face..!
Money. Ego. Boredom. Bad company. That’s also when he spoke highly about his mum.
He seems fake here. Not being his true self, "putting on a show". Sad
Between mental illness and people gleefully berating him, things started to go further down the drain. I personally wouldn’t tattoo my face but people are free to do what they like. I’m sorry he didn’t get the support he needed in time 😢. His son will have no memories of him and that’s so incredibly sad 💔
No lies, no tears, no only fans, no joker 🃏
Watching him like this….breaks my heart how he had SO MUCH in him. He had so much life. So much talent. It is so heartbreaking
This is the Aaron Carter we know & loved...he didnt interrupt or talk over anyone, he laughed, was open & fun. Hope he gets back to this because hes done a 180, his IG Lives are scary.
Foreal i just watched his NoJumper interview and I had to look up a different interview from a different era because I was like... Who tf is this guy !?? I had to make sure they were the same poeple
@@TH3FACE I think he's always been that sketchy arrogant diva. He's faking here.
He cooked his brain.
who loved him
Yep..the Aaron Carter the (certain sect of the...)public knew and loved. This kid was in denial here. He was just able to CONTROL the chaos still, at that point. He unfortunately is still in a downward spiral for whatever reasons.
He had such a gentle and kind energy here. I watched his No Jumper and Steve-O interviews, and it is so upsetting to see the contrast. Although he was trajected into fame at a young age, everyone used him until he was no longer financially useful to them. I appauld his efforts to rebuild himself through growing his skills in producing and music management, he did everything right to get back the life he deserved. It is terrible what drug abuse and mental illness can do to you, it takes you piece by piece unless you get the help you need.
I just love how were all here just to see if he was ever normal.
Way more normal than he is now
Aint gonna lie thats 100% why i clicked on it.
Omg! 😂 thats y im here😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 Glad u ain't the only 1
Yup! He comes off fake in a civilized way here.
This is the Aaron I'll remember. It breaks my heart that he struggled so much and I hope he's at peace now.
You can tell here he’s still battling his demons but he’s holding it together, his honesty & charisma was who he was without his substance abuse. RIP Aaron
wow 6 years ago-he seems like a different person now.
Chris Ellementery he is...and in this interview he’s completely bullshitting...masks off now
One word drugs meth ect
Ummm....welll DUHHHHH
@@AaronLeeParvin thats 2 words, followed by "etc" which makes it an infinite amount of words, sooo uhhh
Nah he seems goofy even in this interview
So basically he had no protection or anyone looking out for him emotionally. The pressure's he's dealt with since he was a kid must have been overwhelming.
Thea Jones 👍 exactly
Loooooooooooooooool you should see the kids that are poor in colombia
What pressure?
He was always so charming and charismatic. It's really sad that he tried so hard to get his life together and in the end, his addiction took over. I highly respect how hard he tried to stay afloat despite all his obstacles. He is finally at rest
He looks like he needs a tight, solid and sincere hug.
For real, I hope to meet him someday soon and just bro-hug him like he was my blood brother.
James McQueary go getchur mans...he could really use that hug about now!! Hurry!
Yeah, I think the same thing.
But would he really feel it
My heart breaks for him. We were both born 87. He has such an innocence about him. Seems like such a good and earnest guy. And hardworking too.
I was born on the same day as him December 7 1987. I should have appreciated him more.
I’m Canadian and I loved Aaron Carter growing up. For those who don’t know, The Morning Show on Global is shot in downtown Toronto. One thing I’ve noticed is Aaron seemed to have a soft spot for Canada. I know he shot several of his music videos here and even wore a Toronto jersey in his Bounce music video. Stuff like that warms my heart. I wish I could’ve seen him perform here. Aaron Carter, you made a huge impact in Canada and the rest of the world. We will miss you. RIP. 🇨🇦❤️
Aaron, now you have found some well deserved peace. So sorry, you couldn't heal in this life time. My heart goes out to your loved ones and beautiful baby 🕊
Now healed & at peace in heaven 🕊️ prayers for your son.
It still makes me so sad when I see past interviews. Knowing that he recently passed made me feel like a part of my childhood was gone with him. I grew up listening to his music and remember him as an unforgettable guest in the Lizze Mcguire show. It's upsetting that his parents used him and his siblings, then left him with debt. I can tell he tried to get himself back together over and over again despite all the family issues and addiction, but his career never bounced back the way he wanted. Addiction took over. RIP Aaron. I hope you are in peace and thank you for the wonderful childhood memories.
I feel the same way
His choice of clothing speaks volumes. Emotionally, he's still that kid from the year 2000.
you fucking kidding? That shit is stylin' dude. See: hipsters
GloryLizard HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
That's what happens when you make rash assumptions about people and you don't know who you're talking about, he has a very diverse sense of style.
Dillon Callaway A "rash assumption" wasn't even required to see that his choice of color and pattern in a sweatshirt makes him look like an 8 year old in pajamas.
l love you nick and Aaron carter
I started off watching this video thinking "Lol, Aaron Carter", but ended up wishing him only good things. He seems like a good person who might have actually not have had such an easy life.
And look where he is now, he had a rough upbringing.
I used to be called 'Sunshine' back in the day, but after years of abuse from family and close people, I am no longer called that. It saddens me how much my pain has affected my personality. I am working on it though. When you are edging on 50 years old you have to decide is this what I really want to feel for the rest of my life? I know you wrote this 6 years ago but, I just happened to watch this video because of a psychic reading on him I watched, so this popped up on my list.
:(
@@MiceAl487 :( :(
@@daisygirl1217 what was your reading?
He was a good guy... his train went off the tracks.. Rest well Aaron.. a true sad passing... 😢😭
What an incredible interview! Aaron 9 years ago was so humble, kind, honest, respectful, totally cohesive, thankful to have worked on a grueling Broadway show and appreciative of the fans who were coming out to the concerts he was promoting. A person is a child for such a short period time. There's tons of opportunities later to have the pressures of work and all the other adult responsibilities we have for most of our lives. What did the sort pressures that a child star like Aaron age 7-8-9 have - never having had a childhood, with all the hangers on constantly telling him he's the greatest thing ever, substances all around, etc. do to his immature mind? It was obvious Aaron was struggling these past few years. I imagine the pressures of being a parent, not being the hot commodity he was at age 7-8-9, his mental illness and substance abuse problem, and being estranged from his family all operating together put monumental pressure on him. For his young life to have ended the way it did is tragic, especially when considering all the promise he had here.
Poor kid. He truly had his fair share of problems. Can't help but to feel for him.
Forever humble and sweet. Realist person. See you in the future brother Aaron Charles Carter. I hope God comforts you.
So humble and transparent and vulnerable. Gone to soon may you rest in peace in Paradise Aaron Carter.
At peace in Paradise 🌹 Glory Amen
I admire Aaron's honesty. He seems like a guy that is willing to work hard and I like his attitude. I used to like him growing up and seeing him so mature makes me happy~
Very articulate interview. Rest in peace
He actually doesn't need money, rather real love and affection. He has different talent and that people were thankful that he shared it to us. He was surrounded by evil, manipulated him, they used him and these different kinds of substance, I believed its not his real intention, people took advantage on him. I extremely do believed that he is still our brother Aaron Carter that's innocently pure. God will guide you now Aaron. I'm sure, please be good wherever you are.
So many people so ready to label him as “crazy” or a “meth head”...so shallow of a judgement. Imagine if you were 7 and thrust into the public eye, molested by your backup dancers, had a drunken family, a sister who overdosed to death at 25, your father die and you don’t know how, and the weird world that is “fame”...suddenly you’re 32 and struggling with your mom and sibling estrangement...how are any of you who judge him worthy to judge him? If you were in his shoes you might get a clue, but you are all too close minded to imagine for a second that he’s a human being?
His father died of a heart attack ,he's had a troubled and blessed life but he's also crazy to
I agree
Wait molested by backup who
J J Scott idk if he’s lying about that. I would believe he was molested. They all mostly showed signs of that happening to them on the show. I feel like that’s the hint he’s dropping when he says dudes have done sexual things to him but he hasn’t to them.. sounds an awful lot like molestation to me. I think he’s a bit embarrassed about it though.
Cry me a river
the public was so mean to him....he had been trying so hard to live a life but the world is too cruel. He definitely deserves better. 'May he rest in peace in heaven.
Aaron was a gentle sensitive soul kind & honest & talented his struggles are over now at peace in heaven prayers for his son Prince who he loved unconditionally
Sometimes being famous comes with a heavy price.
Raisa Cherry like selling your soul
He's been through a lot of crap. A sister who passed from and overdose and having dealt with his own addiction! I hope he grows stronger as he gets older. He can push through.
Mercy Lago guess that didn’t happen :(
A sister who also allegedly raped him.
He couldn't. He came up in the worst way possible.
Nah
@angelina angel I believe him because she was drugged
He seems so nice and well spoken , it's so sad what he's had to go through and the death of his sister 😢 really hope he has a successful comeback
This didn't age well 🤦♂
He's a humble, well-rounded, mature young man. I like him a lot and wish him all the best in life.
Yotto O. Comments that don’t age well.
:DD
@@nickac5453 facts lmao. Aaron Carter is far from humble.
Stu Pidazzo It’s because he’s on copious amounts of drugs. I think he is a sweet guy that went off the rails and never had a space to grow up properly. He grew up in a toxic environment and then just declined into drugs. You sort of cap at an age till you come two and do work to essentially “catch up” I mean even here look at how he is dressed I feel it expresses a very very young kid like side of him that he never fully lived out. It’s unfortunate.
He was ACTING...this is when he thought he had a grip on his drug problem. He was literally telling people exactly what they wanted to here so he could get to his next fix
Can we have this Aaron back
Sad situation that he lost his life, he seemed like a lovely person that just wanted to live his dreams and be supported by his loved ones. 💖🙏RIP Aaron
I'm glad that he's humble and just down to earth. I can tell how thankful he is for his opportunities to do what he loves. I'm an old fan and I hope that I can catch one of his shows. Congrats, Aaron!
This is the Aaron carter that I’m going to remember. Sweet, humble and genuine person. Glad that I had a chance to see you on tour last 2018. You may rest now. 🖤
He was so polite & friendly 😩
What a fall from grace....
I wish him all the best 🙏🏻
+J Black what's wrong? Girls don't like "nice guys" like you?
.
Shona!
EllieJayden welp, looks like that wish didn’t come true...Hopefully some of your other ones did tho! God Bless ❤️
Watching this in 2019 as a grown woman. It breaks my heart. The whole interview i was looking at him. His body language, his way of speech, his story. All i could feel was sadness and anger towards the fked up parents he had.
J J Scott uh his parents too!! That’s common knowledge ya know?!
I really enjoyed this interview. Aaron seems very genuine and authentic. It's refreshing to hear someone speak so honestly and so candidly. Wishing him the best and really like his new song!
Wow what a lovely person. He was struggling such huge personal problems. And every day he had to go out and 'perform'. He hadn't a chance. God, a real gentleman. Hollywood eats you up, spits you out. May this lovely man rest in peace. Respect aron.
Yes kind honest sensitive talented now at peace in heaven 🕊️ prayers for his son
This is back when he was somewhat normal still. Now not so much.
Human_Guinea_ Pig_ nah he was bullshitting in this interview he showing his true self now
Now he's an empty shell of a....guy.
Now he is just a empty narcissist souless shell.
No I can see the mental illness in his eyes
He ain't never been normal
It’s hard to watch this after seeing how tortured he is now 😢
It’s sad!
Aaron personality as a kid was fun,..energetic, innocent, natural talented...
A very sweet boy as what I've observed ,I grew up with his music, same aged, just so pity that his parents don't see how innocent he was and what the early famed destroyed him.....
...just because of money..
Poor kid, family background and healthy relationship with parents are very important for kids...
..
RIP. idol...
He was still sensitive nick is stronger emotionally
Yes he was exploited for his talent his good looks.&his money by the parents who were meant to care for him
Good for him. He seems like a genuinely good guy, that has overcome some tough things.
Whitney Allan I bet he still is even though he is a drug addict is a disease and it's fcking sad!
comments that haven’t aged well.
@@Kingro619 hahahaha indeed!
How bout now..
OK hahahaha I’m trolling this comment section to find all the comments like yours hahahaha OMG I’m dead hahaha
His voice is so sweet as soft
He was literally the "Justin Bieber" of the 90s and early 2000s, I was a fan of his music when I was a kid, Justin Bieber did not impress me until Purpose...
Mickaël Gonzales Navarro Alexander Justin Bieber isn't good
No, bieber was the Aaron Carter of the 2000's. This dudes popularity was unreal especially because his brother was in the biggest music group above him.
This hits differently now…RIP, gone way too young :(
I never really cared for his music growing up but I give him kudos for working his butt off for pursuing his future/dreams. Screw people who wanna give him crap about that Trigun shirt and saying he's not "grown up". He's being original and everyone needs to respect that.
He was a sweet boy deep down and my heart aches for him. I haven't agreed with his awful behavior the past few years, but I can imagine I'd be the same way if I was ruthlessly bullied by the world.
He had everyone at full attention, he is what you call an excellent communicator.
I was a bit older than his fan base, so didn't see a lot of him, but wow, I never knew how kind he was (you can tell especially at the end of the video). What a loss. So sad 😢😢
Yes kind honest & decent talented & sadly didn't get to enjoy the success he earned because his money was stolen by the parents who were meant to care & protect Aaron rest in perfect peace with our Lord & saviour
@@margaretmatthews4872 Yes. So true. Prayers to Aaron 🙏😔
@@margaretmatthews4872Aaron was taken down by internet bullies for exposing the industry. Does he look like someone with mental illness? Doing all that on his own doesn't seem like it. But they gave him multiple medications that should not have been taken together and told him he had all these mental illnesses to destroy his confidence
how humble and polite he is
so cute
you've got my respect!!!
god bless you
I thought he was going to be a self-promoting jerk, one that was coddled by the industry. But he overcame it by sheer willpower, and I know he had to learn to say no to the bad elements. He is very productive and following his dreams. He's made himself. Good for him!
He spoke so well and so down to earth, so sad he passed and so young.
Even with his success, he didn't have it easy, but he had the drive. I wonder how his life would have turned out if he hadn't had to grow up so fast and had more support. It's heartbreaking to see the path he ended up on. He was so talented, had good business sense and seemed like a sweet guy.😔
Yes Aaron was a sweet beautiful talented person he suffered Post traumatic stress he was robbed of all the hard earnt money but it's not just the money it's so much more & so tragic Now at peace in heaven 🕊️ no more pain & suffering please Lord watch over his son who Aaron loved unconditionally
@@margaretmatthews4872 Yes ma'am!💗
not a fan of his music but this young man is a good egg
he actually seems pretty chill now
Fame, money and screaming girls don't bring happiness. It's a Hollywood lie. I used to hated him so much back then (jealousy, of course. He got the girls and touring around while i was stuck in a small nowhere town) but now glad he's still alive and looks like a really chill and friendly and nice bro to talk with. Wish him all the best
+Kristi Bennett He is bisexuak
+Blueberry Cupcake What the hell is 'bisexuak'?
hes on xanax
Blueberry Cupcake what relevance is his sexuality in regards to this comment ?? Lol
this is how i want to remember him this is the aaron we know and loved so sad
What a different energy here than what we’ve seen in the last couple of years. But it’s not up to us to pick apart his life. I hope he rests in peace and the most beautiful parts of him will be remembered. We are all human. Wish people would stop sharing bad moments of him online. We all have them!!! Rip Aaron.
Aaron you are so handsome and sweet in this interview. I want to give you a hug and tell you that you are such a great artist. I am amazed with your LOVE album. Keep up the good work!
He's so well-spoken!! Good for him, like Nick, for getting back on his feet :)
He looks so much bettter without the neck tattoo
I’ve seen it 😳
I like his tattoos actually!
Thats the drugs speaking kids. Don't do em.
and face........
He cannot pull off Those tattoos
I love the honesty of this interview i will keep on praying for you...
velvet dust So the prayers didn’t work it seems...but it was kind of u to at least try 🙏🏻❤️
my babysitters best friend was in one of his music videos! I remember i was like 7 or 8 and I was soo pissed i couldn't be in it hahahahahah loved him, it's sad to hear that he's been having some money issues lately, it's so sad, unlike Justin Bieber, he had so much talent, and was just a genuine person! i was only a kid, but i remember meeting him at a meet and greet, and he was just super sweet. I've gone to sooo many meet and greets for random singers and they're not all as kind as him. Hope things kick back up soon. But what I have noticed, is that he is kinda cocky in some ways lol, no hate though, I love aaron !
Haha
Did you said he had more talent than Bieber!? Cuz I'm not that much of a Bieber fan, but he have 50tine the talent of that blondy
This is so sad that he’s not like this anymore. I hope he can get on mood stabilizers or something and get real help to get level headed like this again. But even here he has an undertone of sadness and stress.
I miss Aaron love his music it’s amazing Rest In Peace angel Aaron
Proving once again, "If you set your mind to it, nothing is impossible." he also proved another thing; He could have given up and said its not worth it, but he turned it around and said, "I am somebody. I have people who care about me." Turning the negative things in his life into a positive. WTG mate, WTG.
Nestor Bighorns I would also like to see a midget play for the MBA. The Michigan Basketball Organization is hard to get into.

This didn’t age well
He seems so 'normal', even intelligent here.
I know 😟 he just seems mad at the world now, poor guy 😞
It’s sadly from that “duster” it’s basically like crack. They call whippets hippie crack, but duster is 10 times worse than whippets. I’ve heard Doctors say it fries the brain 🧠! 😕
@angelina angel so? Did you have a point that you are trying to make?
@J J Scott yeah I read that. I was asking why a comment was left that was simply "*so". Since your so smart, what's your take on that?
Exactly! loool He keeps saying he lost weight because of the hernia but didn't he have the hernia then? A hernia is something you're born with so how come it's only affecting him now?
Here after his death. Rest in peace 😞
Coming back to watch this after hearing about him passing away. It’s sad
Who’s here after the face tatt??
Well spoken, so nice and sweet guy
he deserved better, so sorry...🙏🌹
He was honest. I met him on my birthday and it was amazing. He's grown so much.
I have a little of Aaron in me, he’s a beautiful sincere guy and I understand what addiction does, it’s heart breaking and changes you into someone you don’t like. I’m going through it myself last 10 years but not with substances, mine is gambling addiction which is like a drug, research says it’s very similar in brain so I can relate to Aaron’s struggles and sufferings. I’m trying many times to be better and I know Aaron was too. He is now at peace and I pray for his family to find comfort in knowing that he’s being looked after by God and the angels 🙏❤️
Prayers for you to overcome the addiction of gambling to have the victory in Jesus & l know it's hard just one day at a time & Aaron did his best & l respect Aaron he loved his son unconditionally Aaron Carter in perfect peace in heaven 🕊️
The way he talks about his past with drugs and dark times still amazes me, It literally gives me about a million more reasons to call him one of my biggest idols.
This comment didn’t age well at ALL!
@@deanwinchester3356 Thats cold... Did he die from drugs?
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf Yes he did. Heroin (probably more like fentanyl) and then drowning in a tub from nodding out. It’s very common. To call someone who did drugs for from their teens until their death an idol is pretty crazy. Hence why this comment didn’t age well.
@@deanwinchester3356 Addiction is not a moral failing - stop dehumanising addicts. Also his problem was not heroin it was computer dusters and it is likely what he died from.
@@deanwinchester3356 Oh wow. The last report I seen it said the death was unknown.
He really appreciated his life when all the negative stuff around him and he was still trying hard to stand up. Without Nick in his life, he took every opportunity that came to him. Very unfortunate that the road has ended. RIP.
I met him when we were like 13/14. Very talented guy. I'm glad he was HONEST as a LOT of celebrities are not. I wish him the utmost success with his career.
Aaron seem like a real chill dude, I wish him the best
He looks different, not from his earlier self, but from everybody else and I hope people don't judge him based on that. He's a good guy. Since he's filed for bankruptcy, I hope that he can produce some more music for us within the next year.
hey, he is actually making new music and releasing it!!! go check it out!!! soundcloud.com/aaroncartermusic he has 2 new songs and we have street teams up and going!
KPOP Jae That is fantastic! I'm really grateful. I love the songs, I only wish they were on iTunes. I hope he can become a big hit again. Also, I like your name. Kpop is the bomb :)
KPOP Jae What happened to Aaron's music? I can no longer find it on sound cloud. Is he going to be making an album?
Thumbs up for Sica~ GG
WaffleEBay12 ys he is working on an album, follow him on twitter.com/aaroncarter :) hes also on instagram
All child stars should be appointed a guardian. Someone who has no rights to their money but can have access to their funds just to see where its going. Then they can make that child and the legal system aware.
Idk why but among other celebrity deaths, his hurts me the most. I never followed him as a kid even though he was very popular but I guess I just always admired him
I SAW HIM AND HE WAS THE SWEETEST THING EVER AND SO ADORABLE AS A KID AND TODAY HES SO DESTROYED WOW .
MY PRAYERS TO HIM ..
Rest in 🕊 , Aaron.
Sincerely condolences for his family.
I am so glad to watch this interview of Aaron, I learn more about him and so happy so good to know that he's getting better and better and doing his best.
Wishing him all the best ^^
Awh he is so so sweet here. God bless him I see how sick he really was now. .may he rest in peace and find this, or an even better version of himself in heaven 🙏 God will nurse him back to health that I am sure of ❤
Well spoken, articulate and pretty egoless. Hope he can get back to this way, poor guy
😢
my god I need that sweater!
Not if I get it first!
itsjemmabond I'll fight you for it
itsjemmabond I'll leak embarrassing photos of you to the internet for it.
shesmine19
I can assure you, I have no such photos!
itsjemmabond uh huh sure, that's what they all say.
nick and his brother both are very understanding, strong and never giving up. god bless these super beings
See this dialogue makes me think more of him. He's very calm and his thoughts are actually organized. He needs to be this person I see in this interview, maybe then he'll get the support he desperately wants.
what a kind soul man. i never knew he was like this. best of luck to this dude.
Wow Aaron Carter is a really nice guy
@J J Scott Yeah. I think he worked really hard and just hit a huge problem with drugs.
He seems so stable here, he is articulate mature and his conversation is very organized.
What happened???
This must have been before drugs took over his life.
Proud of Aaron for doing well on his career goals. Wish him the best in life. :)

@@kccourt6910 aged very dark.... 😕
I'm glad things are working out for him
I saw his show when he played in Ottawa and I got a chance to meet him. Best concert of my entire life. So glad I got to see him. He is an amazing performer!
He look better in this video then recently
He seemed like a great guy. Makes me sad he ended up like his sister.
