Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas is the most legendary father-son duo of Hollywood ever
Is there another great duo?
@@carlocruz4814 probably not as legendary as Kirk (RIP) & Michael, but two pairs that spring to mind are Martin & Charlie Sheen and Donald & Kiefer Sutherland. Oh and theres Jerry (RIP) & Ben Stiller.
@@carlocruz4814 Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood
Major league kooze hounds.
one of the last giants of hollywood
Also Sean Connery,, Rip 😪
Sidney poitier is still leaving
The passing of Kirk Douglas marks the end of an era, of the glamour, star-quality and Golden Age of film-making. An era the likes of which will likely never return.
Which is the saddest thing of all.
It's not quite over, Olivia de Havilland is still alive and also 103. RIP Kirk.
Rest in peace, Kirk Douglas.
@PalePinkGeneticAnnihilationTY HeroinFentanylOpioids She was definitely raped by a 'very powerful actor' - but she never named who it was. Robert Downey Jr. perpetuated the rumor that the actor was Kirk Douglas and he eventually removed the comment. As long as it is just a rumor we have no way of knowing who it was. Joan Collins was very close friends with Kirk Douglas AND Natalie Wood - and is still very close with Wood's children. She claims she never heard such a story or even a suspicion about it being Kirk Douglas. I admire Kirk Douglas and will celebrate him until I hear - beyond a reasonable doubt - that he was that "very powerful actor."
@@Prellium Actually i heard about three years ago that Olivia de Haviland had turned 100!!! Indeed.
That was so moving when kirk said he was proud of Michael and Michael got teary eyed... :(
I can't argue with that very moving.
@@richardmell299 Agreed. Both men are living legends.
Memoeies
Michael mentioned in an interview recently that Kirk hardly praised him. No wonder it was overwhelming for him to get this validation in front of all!
Indeed.
Damn... I couldn't avoid drop a tear. A father telling to his son how proud is he from him, the best words that a son can hear... :')
Seeing Michael's face when Kirk said: "I am very proud for my son Michael..." made me cry..
We have lost a Hollywood legend, but it's now up to us to preserve his legacy.
Yes. But it will be hard.
The Legend has die today at 103 years. RIP The one, the only Mr. Kirk Douglas🙏🏻
Michael's facial expression at 3:00 is so overwhelming
3:00
😭
Kirk Douglas is a pioneer of classic Hollywood, I'm attending the school where he first started acting and let me say it is an honor to even walk the same halls he, Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly and many others have walked!
A father that is so proud of his son... that touches my heart
Did anyone else cry like a baby watching this? So lovely.
It's pretty universal that there's nothing sadder and more touching than a very old man talking.
I cried when I heard of his passing.
R.I.P Natalie Woods
RIP Natalie Wood
@@nonymous590 Tell that to Christopher Walken, he's still alive!
This guy has the kind of humour I hope I have the rest of my life. He is a class act.
Seeing the tears well up in Michael's eyes makes me cry too...may Kirk Douglas rest in peace...
I don't know if it is edited on purpose, but one thing is sure: as a father, you could never EVER make your son happier than when you say you're proud of him! So fathers and father wannabes out there, don't you EVER forget to say to your sons that you are proud of them! 5 words can mean the world for them. Just look at MD: in that moment, he felt more honoured and blessed than a mere AFI LAA, or Academy Award could ever make him. And he is a successful and recognized 'old' man. Still, nothing can be compared to the feeling when your father says those important 5 words. So go for it!
Sorry for being narrow-minded, but as a man I focused on the father-son topic. Yes, of course, parents should always give positive feedback to their children, if they want to raise mentally healthy descedants. Thanks for your correction :)
+Gábor Szabó Absolute truth.
+Gábor Szabó So true. Unfortunately for me, my father was unable to say those words to me, no matter how hard I tried to be successful. "This is my son, in whom I am well pleased." Oh, how I would have loved to hear those words come out of his mouth.
But he's 103 now.
Gábor Szabó very well stated! Yes, too often we voice our criticism but fail to voice praise...
You can really tell that Michael absolutely ADORES his Dad so so much!!
Yeah. Poor Michael. It must have been heartbreaking for him to loose his father (two years already)😢
I don't know man, i probably have seen only 3 movies of Michael and 3 movies of Kirk but i think i just love that family, every time i see Kirk i just cry : )))
I see this video ten times maybe，wonderful Kirk Douglas
he still walk straight too
This genuinely made me weep
me too
When he said he was so proud of michael and michael teared up that was so heart warming. I'm sure starting out it was hard to be in the shadow of a film titan like Kirk douglas. Both are legends . I cant think of a father son duo this talented. True greats . Every man desires his dad to say they are proud of them particularly an actor as big as Kirk Douglas and as I said michael started in his shadow
Watch Michael's expressions change:
From slightly humored - 0:46
To utterly touched and tearful - 3:01
Wow..Kirk was 92 at the time of this taping..he is 97 today. What an historic talent. Michael certainly inherited his fathers talent and is also one of the great actors of my lifetime.
102 now
Wonder if Michael will make it to 100?
He'll be 103 next month
@Tahsin Hafiz 103 now, he's a living miracle.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 Not anymore 😩
Just heard the sad news about Kirk Douglas true legend rip to his loving family xxxxxx
Rip grand pa kirk Douglas,at least we got Michael Douglas your son to keep your legacy going
Regards from uganda
he is not only a legend of not only stage and screen, but a hero to millions who have suffered a debilitating stroke, a man who makes your life look very VERY small, he is spartacus, he is doc holiday, he is Einar, a man who has seen some of the greatest moments in human history and left his mark upon the fabric of each of our lives through his legacy and influence.... that is who 'this fucking old man' is
Kirk and Michael Douglas are two beautiful Spirits. GOD bless them all their families.
100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He made it!
Keep going Kirk another 100 cheers mate.
Wow, Kirk Douglas....A living legend!!!!!!
Rol Romper And he’s STILL living at 102
@@benwasserman8223 103.
Kirk is a legend! God bless him, 97 and still doing it!
Armyan1988 he's 101
102
103
Wow this man was born in ww1 1916
Me too numbskull.
He's a living legend.
And he’s wife is over 100 years of age too!!!
@@stephenherron8780 Check actor Norman Lloyd, was born in 1914, still alive and kicking, he looks like he's 70... he's gonna be 105 in november.
Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé
No he looks 90-95 but Douglas’s look fits to his age I believe..
today is december 9th 2016 - happy 100th birthday, mr. Douglas! ...i'm glad i grew up with your movies and my alltime-favorite is "the vikings" (1958) ...cheers, dear Spartacus!
I think Kirk thought the clapping was like the equivalent of the music playing in the middle of a speech, so he left, I would've loved to keep hearing him talk.
+Roberto Llanto i thought it was very rude of the audience to start clapping while he was speaking :(
I thought it seemed awkward too. I believe he had more to say.
He left because he had nothing more to say after saying love to his son.
I think he was going to get emotional honestly, that era of men didn't show emotion
Bless that dear man's heart! Michael is so lucky and hope he can do movies like into his father's age.
A legendary actor who’s son couldn’t be more worthy of his father’s pride.
Both Michael & Kirk literally made it to the top of their craft in their respective eras. Cant think of another parent/child combo who had as much success and acclaim as these two.
This is so touching, and perhaps a tad painful because the stroke has in many ways left Kirk a shadow of his former self. But this is always an example of true father son love in Hollywood. Between these two, the entire history of modern American cinema can be mapped and recorded. And there is love there too. The look of admiration in Kirk's eyes, the look in Michael's as he is receiving his father's salute just as he had done for him eighteen years earlier. It really is quite touching.
Is this Will Smith and Jaden 50 years from now?
not likely haha
+Alessandro Montenegro I doubt it. LOL
In retrospect in a bittersweet kinda way the stroke has made him all the more inspiring though. Who'd of thought at 79 when he'd had the stroke that he had so much life left in him...23 years and counting. I don't think you make it that far at his age if you haven't found ways to enjoy life
@@PusoPimpOVER9000 Kirk was so well spoken before his stroke just look for interviews of him before 1996. Still great speech with all the crap he had to go through.
Kirk Douglas is so cute! Ughhh, I'm gonna start crying!!! He's so proud of Michael!!! 😭😭😭
2 great actors who have entertained the world for decades. When actors had class. People you could look up to. Today 2019 there aren't many people to look up to. Thank you for the great films movies and tv shows. Great memories
Kirk Douglas a real man.
Oh god.. Michael was tearful.. I could just cry too.. You know , Kirk was still really good for his 94 years but it still makes me so sad.. remembering him so young and funny in the very old movies.. very intense speech.. And I take my hat off to both of the Douglas xx
Kirk really knows how to make you cry, doesn't he? I love when legends are appreciated with standing applause
Hard to believe that Kirk Douglas is 101 years young now.....
Talent runs in that family!
kirk douglas....a true megastar.....thankyou...mr.douglas..
Thank you for posting this video. What a legend Kirk Douglas is, and Michael too. I love Michael's reaction when his father tells him how proud he is of him. Brings tears to my eyes.
A father and a son...loving each other...so touching 😘
such class...even at 93!!
Kirk Douglas was all class. R.I.P ❤
When the father said proud to his son that was the best part and moment. Its the blood connection you can't lie and denied that
Rip to a great actor Kirk Douglas we still miss you
He was 92 then, and now 102 and still kicking it. Respect
Kirk Douglas a true legend,an amazing,very talented actor.He gone but he will lives on in his movies and will never be forgotten.RIP
103 and still going amazing ! My favorite movie is a tie between In harms way & the final countdown.
Happy Birthday KIrk Douglas. 97 years old!
102
Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé - I was about to say 102 and in a few months 103. Insane
@@crysb5099 Few months at those ages are a lot of months, lol. Let the guy enjoy his 102 summer holidays.
@@crysb5099 He made to 103, he's a living miracle. Always love to him.
Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé - lol he made it. I can’t imagine how he must feel
Both beautiful human beings 💞🙌 much respect to both👍🙏
The best compliment a father could give his son...
To be honored by your father in front of many people makes this more meaningful and special to Michael
Ohhh, so sweet!!! "My son, Michael", Michael stars cryng ...with love
R.I.P. Kirk....We are all proud about your distinguished son....and he is proud of you..
On a kirk Douglas marathon. My god this was a great human.. As van gogh he was on a different level. Was mesmerising. But spartacus. Jesus. RIP you legend.
Kirk Douglas was in so many good movies.. Young Man with a Horn, Spartacus, Cast a Giant Shadow and so many more. I wish Mr. Douglas and his wife Anne well.
Mr. Douglas, you have a lot of viewers who Love you.
Legend. See the effort he is taking despite physical difficulties
RIP "young" man Kirk Douglas🙏
I love Spartacus and Paths of Glory.
I tough Christopher Lee was the oldest actor still alive... Kirk Douglas is now 98 years old!!! Wery touching :)
Hans Lindvard Tryterud Christopher lee and Betty white were born the same year :)
102 now
@@VoodooChile69 103.
And now he died. RIP
@@skillfuldabest RIP
He lived a mighty long fruitful life to the fullest.
And the great actor went to greater heights, ...gone but never forgotten..R.I.P. Dear Sir...and thank you for all you have done,..salute my dad up there, he was a fan of yours...one day I will join you and we will talk about our lives and the ones we loved so much that stayed behind.
"Me, too old? I could play that part right now!" What a great spirit Kirk Douglas was and with a sharp wit to the end. And sad that I just wrote "was" and not "is." Replay any number of Kirk Douglas films and you can reverse that "was" to an "IS" again: he'll jump right off the screen at you.
When Michael's eyes welled up with tears... I lost it.
One legend honoring another; most important, a father homoring his son.
Love you, Kirk & Michael!
That look killed me 3:02
¡Hala Madrid!
me too, theres no acting this is true love!
wow a beautiful moment...I'm choked up myself...I love my Michael Douglas and all the great work he's done.
Welln I'm 42 now but I grew up idolising Michael Douglas as my idol
I remember him in basic instinct with Sharon's stone
Love is daddy never the less
Rip grand pa
You will always be missed.
Regards from uganda
Beautiful, moving, teary....
I know I have the books he wrote after the stroke. Michael Douglas really loves his father.
I always liked Kirk Douglas in his movies, he just turned 102 last week (12-9-18) and we wish him well. May he live to see 103, and more! We know he's proud of his son, who is also a good actor.
A legend.
Wow he caught me off guard when he made his son cry, this is great.
A amazing actor and man
What a lucky man he was, 103 years old, a great way to pass by this world , don’t feel sorry, be jealous in a good way .
such a legend... he's immortal ♥
good actors pop up through time, legends last 4 ever!!! God bless Kirk Douglas
Kirk Douglas,
One of my All Time Favorite Most Underrated Actor,
To me a True Champion 🏆,
Here's to you Sparticus 👍
I cried watching this video! i mean, Kirk Douglas was a man with such an amazing personality, panache... unbelievable charisma. I remember his amazing personality from some of the best movies ever made like Paths of Glory and I cannot help but feel sad to see him this way. Its Kirk Douglas, how could he ever be old. One of the few occasions I felt bad about time. What a great actor! RESPECT!!!
A standing giant of acting and his son also with movies I love
wow Kirk... you`re something else.. God bless you for telling it from the heart. you have a great spirit, your son inherited it also.!
It's like you can never get old as long as your parents are alive, you'll still be their "child", Michael Douglas was in his mid-60's but the reactions from his father's speech could be those of a kid
He is so adorable bless his heart,should leave forever with such humor and will to live.
We can only imagine how proud he is but we can always guess. The best attribute of fame is moments like this
I am so touched of this father n son relationship.
RIP Kirk Douglas (December 9, 1916 - February 5, 2020), aged 103
You will always be remembered as a legend.
thats a gift, for your parents to see u receive a lifetime achievement award. something else
Everybody listened to him. I love it. You could hear a needle fall. Great human being. Like father like son.
E uma dádiva de Deus chegar essas altura,com lucidez,é causando grande emoção no filhão.
Both Micheal and Kirk. SUPER MEGASTARS. Love them both!!
Kirk will always be one of the greatest actors of all time. He never received the recognition he truly deserved. He will always be SPARTACUS to me!!!!!!
Pat, Staten Island
