O'Toole comes out on a camel, in a three-piece suit, smoking a cigarette in a quellazaire, and proceeds to have the camel chug a can of Heineken. Absolutely legendary.
My favourite Richard Harris story is when he was ill from cancer and was being wheeled out of the 5 star Savoy Hotel, where he was residing. As the paramedics took him through the foyer, he just shouted: “It was the food!”
If they had been Hollywood actors, drugs would be their poison of choice, namely cocaïne and heroine. Alcohol, taken in moderation, can be beneficial in certain cases, but try that with drugs and you end up in a "weekend at Bernie's" lolss
@@tuberobotto You do realize both Richard and Peter both had done cocaine, one of which was having a very brief affair with a 5-8g a day habit while the other smoked pot for ever and ever. they did do drugs they just had a leash on that and it was infrequent enough to where there drinking could carry there good times most of the time and for a longer time.

Also Robert Newton and Richard Burton could be added to the list. I believe Oliver and Keither greatly idolised Newton! In later years Keith actually looked quite like him. I loved them all but my all time favourite was Oliver. A great man. They don't make them like they used to.
They LIVED & looked gloriously haggard for their age, compared to the clean living actors of similar ages now. Not a sleight against them at all. Fantastic story tellers.
The friendship between Peter and Richard is something all of us hope to gain with our own friends. Yes they drank, yes they were outrageous but what is a life not lived if it is not outrageous?
@@blackie75 the damage caused by drinking to excess and the behaviour it leads to is rarely restricted to the person doing it. Drink driving, violence, aggression, health problems (which have very real consequences to your loved ones too, fellow worker/ friends), the effects of drink driving & unsociable behaviour etc. etc.
Those voices, their use of language, the wit, the humor, oh lord, never to be replaced. ACTUAL icons. grew up loving them as a girl watching Laurence of Arabia, Camelot....such romantic leads they were. No one like them!
I had the great pleasure of spending an evening with Peter O'Toole at a small party/wake for Ronnie Frazer. He was charming and friendly and I will never forget him singing old show tunes while we all stood around a grand piano which was being played by one of the nurses who had looked after Ronnie.

@Brandon S I'll have you know that these men aren't/weren't comedians. They wouldn't just think of something funny and relatable, go on stage to tell jokes and end up with millions to spend on hookers and blow. I think we have a misunderstanding about "real men" in general, too, but that's OK since everyone can define how a "real man" is supposed to be for themselves. Still, I find your comment condescending, out of place and reeking of narcissism, no wonder it didn't get appreciated.
My 2nd cousin Peter O'Toole with Richard Harris also Michael Caine, Oliver Reed & Keith Moon, the very best storytellers of all times. God, please send those very fine people back to earth we miss them badly, we are in great need of proper howling laughter and more stories about true happenings in their lives
Anybody who believes all their stories were true is deluded.They invented and embellished on an industrial scale.Harris was particularly full of it.Full of himself as well....
Fantastic how two ageing actors who, let's be honest, had been written off as pisshead has-beens, Richard Harris and Oliver Reed, both turned in such stellar, triumphant performances in Gladiator.
OMG ..that story where about Harris dressed as a Catholic Priest and O'Toole dressed as a Nun story...7 yrs in between ..was the 'BEST". Laughing "tears' awash ...simply superb.
Mr Harris makes a statement at the beginning that really speaks to me. They (Harris, O'Toole, etc.) were formed and shaped by the war. I saw this in my own parents. Now this is in America but, born in the mid-20's. Grew up in the Depression. Lived through the war (not like our brothers and sisters in England) but, still had to deal with all that came with it. My father was a WWII veteran who served in the Navy in the Pacific. Left High School early to join. I am a Baby Boomer and proud of it because it means my parents were of the Greatest Generation. They had grown up through so much. THEY LIVED LIFE! Stay at home Mom and a middle class existence but, we never wanted for 'things' and enjoyed life. I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have at the time of my youth simply because of youth and a lack of experiences. Now I can look back (sadly because both of my parents are gone) and reminisce fondly about those times. Going to the beach, camping, parties with family and friends. Yes, there was drinking, and maybe too much but, we survived and we LIVED LIFE. NO social media. We talked and laughed together! So many happy memories...
The very first appearance of Richard Harris in my young life was when going to one of the many matinees of my youth. Always on a Saturday and always early I got to see “A Man Called Horse” to much delight and even set through the second showing. Of course it became my favorite movie for many years. Loved those magical times even though they were spent alone. People like Harris and O’toole became my dear friends during those days.

Just watched Gladiator last night. It’s such a classic it’s not a remote dropper for me, I space out when I stop to watch. It’s a shorter role however Richard Harris was soooo good.

Miss those "drinking buddies" and great actors and raconteurs! Unique personalities that really knew how to live like to the hilt! Carp Diem...SEIZE the day! Thanks for sharing Best of Humans...they were the best!
These men were great actors but they loved a good time no one like this today they took the piss out of them self's and got pissed they didn't take life seriously
I did just that and didn't even know it! In 1986 I was a young American solider stationed in Germany. I was a country boy from Oklahoma. I took leave to visit my parents who were visiting London. After I put them on their flight home I was waiting to take a train back to Stuttgart. I got off the tube in the West End to get a drink and kill about 4 hours. I was sitting in a booth near the rear of a tavern and this older English guy asked if he could sit with me. The bar had been filling up and I said sure have a seat. We had a couple of drinks and talked about just normal stuff like family and sports. He was funny and seemed honestly interested in how I came to be in the Army, and what my plans were about school when I got out. He asked what time it was and realized he was late and wished me well. He tried to pay the tab and I insisted that I would, and he thanked me and was gone. After I left I was walking back to the underground station and passed a theater. I recognized is face on the posters outside. It was Peter O'Toole. I remember that the play was called "The Apple Cart". I still didn't know at the time how famous he was. Later I told my dad the story and he explained to me how big a star he was.
You can only be a drunk and have a charmed life like these two if you have great talent and are a certain type of human man, the rest of us just ruin our lives and spoil life for our families
Harris was such an amazing actor and one hell of a character! His accent was fantastic as well! It was clearly Irish, but with an English and an America twang!
Are they not Irish, but I’d say the smiths or Tyson fury were the greatest, or maybe oasis. But by god the Irish have given some greats to Britain like dusty Springfield and some assholes like Jimmy carr and pearse Morgan
Oh gosh!! In the late 60s, after I saw CAMELOT the first time, I was SO I love with Richard Harris. Lucky me, he was on The Merv Griffin Show all the time. There were old movies for me to discover and record albums to buy. In the 80s I saw him do CAMELOT twice on stage. He was one talented Irishman.
Jesus!! Wow!! These guys were legends and it was so real.. an era long gone, but not forgotten.. if only these days people/actors were this sincere and real… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The friendship between Ollie and Keith is absolutely legendary. It just puts a smile on your face thinking of all the mischief they got up to. As Ollie once said, "Life should be lived and that's all there is to it". Sums it up really. Bless Ollie, Keith, Peter and so many others. RIP, you crazy geniuses.
As Harris said, children of WWII, they knew how to live, because until 1946, all they saw was death. Then came austerity through the 50's. Their early lives sucked. That whole generation in Britain was like that.
Those old guys have more humor, life passion, and talent than more than 95% nowadays movie "stars". Their vocabulary is so rich, picturesque and they have so much talent for telling stories. Todays no-gifted and braggart "stars" are unconvincing. For good actor, series school is obligate, reading serious books and years and years of work. Being star after a 2-3 movie is disrespect of old predecessors.
well these guys LIVED! or as Roz Russell put it, "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" these guys drank, smoked, ate tons of red meat, fucked any woman, they wanted
It is not hard to do when you are born and educated in fucking Britain ! I learned and still learning to speak English after 24 years old. Go and lived in an Spanish speaking nation and you will understand.
at 5:26, what an AMAZING entrance from PETER O TOOLE.R.I.P to him: RICHARD HARRIS OLIVER REED .. and KEITH MOON. Not only they were great performers, but they were great unforgettable storytellers.Thank goodness for UA-cam.That way, I could replay their old T.V appeances over and over again.
One story I've heard was O' Toole and Harris near Shaftesbury Ave (where most of the theatres are clustered) in London and getting themselves suitably refreshed and then deciding to watch the matinee of a show. They pick one they like the look of and settle in. The show starts and they're enjoying it and O' Toole turns to Harris and says... "You'll like this next scene, this is where I come on... oh fuck!"
This is Richard Burton and Wilfred Lawson story. Lawson had to come on and Burton grew slightly anxious about that and just about to ask him and Lawson tapped him on the shoulder and said: "You'll love this part, this is where I come on." 😂
I love the differences between their delivery. O'Toole and his lackadaisical genteel way of telling a story, verses Harris's slightly manic rush. Would have killed to spend an evening with these gents

@@tomthebomb557 yep, but he’s a Yorkshireman
Miss those "drinking buddies" and great actors and raconteurs! Unique personalities that really knew how to live like to the hilt! Carp Diem...SEIZE the day! Thanks for sharing Best of Humans...they were the best!
Seize(grab) the day...not cease (stop/end) the day.
@@michaelshea8086 Meant SEIZE the day! "To err is human, to forgive divine'!
Can't imagine the stories that they don't remember.
What a wonderful friendship they had. Legendary gentleman.
I miss them so much... but it's lovely to see Jared Harris carrying on his acting legend.
When the video ended....I got a bit sad . I wanted to go with them. God bless those crazy chaps . Gentlemen to the end.
J.C. Santo yeah, I can't watch this, it will make me cry. I will share it though.
you're not the only one. they dont make 'em like that anymore
These people are very likely to be in Hell....you don't want to go with them at all my friend.
@@young321bookie If they're in hell and all like them I wanna be there too.
@@young321bookie Aye and Ill bet there having a grand time down there too lol
Back when life really had life in it.. thanks for the memories..
These men were great actors but they loved a good time no one like this today they took the piss out of them self's and got pissed they didn't take life seriously
It would have been a great honor to have met any one of these legends irl, and just sat drinking and listening to their stories. RIP fellas.
I did just that and didn't even know it! In 1986 I was a young American solider stationed in Germany. I was a country boy from Oklahoma. I took leave to visit my parents who were visiting London. After I put them on their flight home I was waiting to take a train back to Stuttgart. I got off the tube in the West End to get a drink and kill about 4 hours. I was sitting in a booth near the rear of a tavern and this older English guy asked if he could sit with me. The bar had been filling up and I said sure have a seat.
We had a couple of drinks and talked about just normal stuff like family and sports. He was funny and seemed honestly interested in how I came to be in the Army, and what my plans were about school when I got out. He asked what time it was and realized he was late and wished me well. He tried to pay the tab and I insisted that I would, and he thanked me and was gone. After I left I was walking back to the underground station and passed a theater. I recognized is face on the posters outside. It was Peter O'Toole. I remember that the play was called "The Apple Cart". I still didn't know at the time how famous he was. Later I told my dad the story and he explained to me how big a star he was.
God, I wish I could've just sat in a room with O'Toole and listened. Great voice and great stories.
You can only be a drunk and have a charmed life like these two if you have great talent and are a certain type of human man, the rest of us just ruin our lives and spoil life for our families
"Disappoint thoze that once loved us... Piss-off the rest," huh?
I totally understand that saying
No
There was hell and wreckage in these men's lives.. some sad stuff
I dare say their families suffered
@Lori Hanks very true. But their philosophy was : " ya pays ya money and you takes your chance. "
Harris was such an amazing actor and one hell of a character! His accent was fantastic as well! It was clearly Irish, but with an English and an America twang!
More Irish than anything else. You can. Tell by the words he uses....
What a absolutely wonderful piece of drinking history. Aussie Jeff Moore
I thank you. These are a few of my favorite actors. Really enjoyed watching them, being, them..
Guys like Olivier, Hoffman and Nicholson can deliver lines BUT guys like O'Toole, Harris and Hackman are actors, they are all a treat to watch!
This compilation has made me SO Happy! Thank you!
Those guys are the absolute legends every rockstar aims to be and will never even get close to attaining
Moon got real close.
Peter O Toole and Richard Harris, two of the greatest Englishmen ever to come out of Ireland!
Are they not Irish, but I’d say the smiths or Tyson fury were the greatest, or maybe oasis. But by god the Irish have given some greats to Britain like dusty Springfield and some assholes like Jimmy carr and pearse Morgan
All the Beatles, save Ringo, are of Irish extraction.
Properly stated that would be ‘two of the greatest Irishman ever to come out of England.’
Oh gosh!! In the late 60s, after I saw CAMELOT the first time, I was SO I love with Richard Harris. Lucky me, he was on The Merv Griffin Show all the time. There were old movies for me to discover and record albums to buy. In the 80s I saw him do CAMELOT twice on stage. He was one talented Irishman.
Jesus!! Wow!! These guys were legends and it was so real.. an era long gone, but not forgotten.. if only these days people/actors were this sincere and real… ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I miss Harris and O’Toole
What an amazing pair of characters. I sorely miss the charm, wit, and humour of both Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris.
Seen 99% of these clips 4 times now and they still make me laugh like crazy!
Oliver reed was a gentleman and genorous. Hes pub was legendary
When Hollywood was full of legends
Rick Boost sorry, but looks like two winos to me
But with more talent, respect and money than you.
Alexander Mayes that was a leap of faith...
These men were Celtic while Reed was English he loved the Irish so when he died he was buried in Ireland.
Fkn legends ❤️
“I’m Peter O’Toole, and I’m dressed as a nun!”
arabie2006 I just burst out laughing 😂
Now that's the Hollywood I know, and love! God bless you old guys!
Absolutely brilliant, legendary blokes who did more living in a year than most do in a lifetime. They don't make 'em like that anymore, unfortunately.
We are truly sadder without guys like this ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Mellyboy 58. I'll drink to that! 🍻
@@A_Final_Hit Good man ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Whenever I see Harris speak, with his most pleasant unique voice, I keep waiting for him to say "and 50 points to Gryffindor!"
Michael Caine once told an American TV host how to properly say his name.
"Just say, 'My' and then 'cocaine'. It's the perfect accent."
Lmao
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahaha oh my god my chest is gonna bust
The friendship between Ollie and Keith is absolutely legendary. It just puts a smile on your face thinking of all the mischief they got up to. As Ollie once said, "Life should be lived and that's all there is to it". Sums it up really. Bless Ollie, Keith, Peter and so many others. RIP, you crazy geniuses.
Love Harris Reed O'Toole accents, great actors, something of the past.
These guys were great! They were in many of the films I watched as a child.
The two great story tellers interpreted very good stories on stage, in films and all interviews they were in.
Can you imagine giving a can of beer to a camel on national tv now? 😂😂😂😂😂
Before I saw that clip, I couldn't imagine giving a can of beer to a camel at all!
@@VarnaVix Now I know what to give my camel as a treat.
Can you imagine giving Ollie Reed a camel!!!😂 🤣😂 🤣😮😮😮😮😮😱😱😱😱😱🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Nah, people now would get the hump!
And that epic theme of Lawrence of Arabia to make a grand entrance to.
Great talent .lovely people and boy they knew how to live..
No they didn't. That is why they ended up like that.
As Harris said, children of WWII, they knew how to live, because until 1946, all they saw was death. Then came austerity through the 50's. Their early lives sucked. That whole generation in Britain was like that.
@@davidoffon1 they ended up great, both lived relatively long fulfilling lives and they enjoyed it. as long as you enjoy it why change
Those old guys have more humor, life passion, and talent than more than 95% nowadays movie "stars". Their vocabulary is so rich, picturesque and they have so much talent for telling stories. Todays no-gifted and braggart "stars" are unconvincing. For good actor, series school is obligate, reading serious books and years and years of work. Being star after a 2-3 movie is disrespect of old predecessors.
Probably belongs in above 5%.
Well said
well these guys LIVED! or as Roz Russell put it, "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" these guys drank, smoked, ate tons of red meat, fucked any woman, they wanted
It is not hard to do when you are born and educated in fucking Britain ! I learned and still learning to speak English after 24 years old. Go and lived in an Spanish speaking nation and you will understand.
Those Boys were fucking GENIUSES!!!
at 5:26, what an AMAZING entrance from PETER O TOOLE.R.I.P to him:
RICHARD HARRIS
OLIVER REED
.. and KEITH MOON.
Not only they were great performers, but they were great unforgettable storytellers.Thank goodness for UA-cam.That way, I could replay their old T.V appeances over and over again.
Bravo!!! Bravo!!O'Toole and Harris were an explosion coming your way!!This was an excellant short film on 'em!!Well freakin' done gang!!!!
Best entrance ever? O'Toole, on the camel :-D
One story I've heard was O' Toole and Harris near Shaftesbury Ave (where most of the theatres are clustered) in London and getting themselves suitably refreshed and then deciding to watch the matinee of a show.
They pick one they like the look of and settle in. The show starts and they're enjoying it and O' Toole turns to Harris and says...
"You'll like this next scene, this is where I come on... oh fuck!"
This is Richard Burton and Wilfred Lawson story. Lawson had to come on and Burton grew slightly anxious about that and just about to ask him and Lawson tapped him on the shoulder and said: "You'll love this part, this is where I come on." 😂
Legends . They no longer make them like this . Men after my own liver !
"It distresses us to return work which is not perfect." Perfect.
They were the rock stars of their day.
The original rockstars
"Excuse me, but my noble transport is thirsty."
They don't make them like that anymore.
Absolutely bloody brilliant. They really don't.
If that where now he would be blasted on Twitter posted on Facebook harassed on Instagram and shamed by Peta .......fucking awsome
The Truth My thought exactly - someone’s going to call this animal abuse. But not I. Camel looked quite happy.
And his voice was so elegant.
Joaquin Vargas Right? Comes out on a camel 🐫 smoking, serves the beast a beer 🍻 then proceeds to steal the show. Love ❤️ it.
I love the differences between their delivery. O'Toole and his lackadaisical genteel way of telling a story, verses Harris's slightly manic rush. Would have killed to spend an evening with these gents
Great description
Yeah,me too!!!
It might have killed you trying to keep up!
@@Chilly_Billy =
I'm tempted to say that I'd prefer Reed and Moon for a booze up, but what the hell. No real 'wrong' choices here. Lol.
Love these stories! The moment O’Toole ever walked on a stage he commanded it!
Superb! These are real people. God bless you boyos!
This is glorious! Thank you so much for putting this together.
