American actor, comedian and director, Woody Harrelson, speaks about his provocative cover shot on this weeks NOW magazine. This is an excerpt from his recent appearance on Q.
Rob ford the greatest mayor in Toronto history RIP
RIP ..ok.... but he was the worst mayor. he should have done something else with his life....for all of our sakes
all I know about him is he has more than enough to eat at home.
@@rainfallenonmyshoes8471ya definitely not the greatest mayor , maybe great for entertainment but....guy was a disaster
@@rainfallenonmyshoes8471he cared about the ppl dammit
@@jameshorton3692 LOL ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I remember his first episode on Cheers. I've loved this actor ever since.
I saw a video of Ford in a huge City Council meeting where he was talking about separate bike lanes, or protected lanes. These are bike lanes that are separate from car lanes by a short wall/ barrier. I think that’s a better idea, it protects the bikers from a car possibly swerving over and accidentally hitting someone. I’ve seen it in a lot of different places and it’s the best thing, bikes are protected and cars don’t have to worry about hitting someone and they don’t have to share a lane with something that doesn’t go as fast as them, it’s a win win situation for all. Protected bike lanes for all!!
The weed is for the people. It's the people's weed
Looks like he just rolled out of bed with the slippers too lol....Living Legend
We love you Woody !👍🇨🇦❤️👊😎
NO one should wear a knit cap. No one!
I’m pretty sure ford owns Lincoln. Lincoln’s are fords woody 😂
Lincoln assassination symbolism. Here's the other, Woods Dad was a hitman who posed as the tall one of the three tramps photographed in Dealey Plaza Nov 22
I would have laughed if Woody Harrelson had said "Mickey Knox" to that last question.
Thank you.
Woody commenting on Rob. Love it. Now I definitely gotta vote for Rob.
this interview was done in 2011 and Woody was calling out Ford back then. How can all you people defend Ford here in light of what the world has learned about Ford during 2013?
we all got problems, not saying I agree with him or his lifestyle, but I think people identify with someone who has the same issues as them, everyone knows somebody who has an addiction problem. A lot of the time you get fake politicians who are pathological liars and thieves.
I don't know why we are listening to this American guy who likes to get "high". Does he really know anything about the Toronto projects? and how much nicer they are here than in his country? Rob Ford personally goes to the projects and tries to solve problems like plumbing and roaches, and I don't mean marijuana roaches, like woody woodpecker is concerned with. Hah, hah, that was a good one! But seriously, I guess rob is "guilty" of being honest, but who knows what this slimey guy is up to, hahah, another good one
Woody woodpecker also stars in those gross violent films. Dustin Hoffman would never be in a movie with a gun.
Susan KEE Little Big Man - lots of guns in that.
PS: Please do some research on your own, rather than consulting with your 'friends' especially when you compared 'W' with our Mayor. Rob is totally the opposite. Unlike your former President, Rob is the first TO Mayor who has saved TO taxpayers 1bil, yet your 'W' spent 2.3trillion (and that was just the start) of US taxpayers money that was conveniently unaccounted 4. Mayor Ford also backs and helps those less fortunate that people like your's and my Gov't have dismissed and ignored. Woody, I bet if you and Rob could sit down, because you both are very down to earth, REAL people and enjoyed a libation of choice and an intimate discussion together, I'm sure it would be a productive and enjoyable experience. You would most definitely change your tune about him.
+Stephanie Merklinger yeah let's all cheer the CRACKHEAD! stupid ass
I think the Ford Lincoln joke was missed as it flew by
Yeah, only you with your superior intellect got that one
fucking joke is only a hundred years old
Say what you want about Rob Ford, but he has saved city of Toronto taxpayers Hundreds, yes Hundreds of Millions of dollars. I beginning to think we need more hard drinking, crack smoking politicians.
Talking about those savings the taxpayers had, where are they now? I still did not get them back to me... or are they for real? Sometimes when I think of these lies he made out of the crack scandal, I wonder what about those savings he has claimed.. are they for real? Really??? Why is his job in limbo right now??? H is not a very good politician at all.. in fact a stupid politician, I must say.
I don't believe he saved the city tax payers money... infact, I never believed him. I can never trust or believe in someone who used crack, who lied and made himself look stupid, esp politicians. No integrity at all...
You can't save taxpayers money unless you physically redistribute taxes to taxpayers or cut taxes down, which from a simple economical perspective ends up costing the average taxpayer in public services, however benefits overly wealthy taxpayers immensely. By that same principle then, you must consider that those millions that were saved probably already came from people that had millions in their pockets to begin with. Now that being said, short term profits say nothing about long term benefits of an economic policy, or the virtues and ethical management of a public office.There's a reason toronto has one of the highest population of homeless, and no it's not cause' they don't want to work, no homeless person will ever tell you that being homeless was career choice for them.
How can you be against marijuana legalization when ALL scientific studies point to the fact that it is less damaging than cigarettes, while several years ago a UN report came out saying that alcohol related illness, crime, deaths, etc. cost economies and human lives more than all other drugs combined?
Elect a person and then do not allow him to do the very things he was elected on. The people of Toronto are nuts as is the CBC.
I happen to know he was frequently in the housing project's of the great city of Toronto.
Rather than a Harrelson character, I think I associate Rob Ford with one of Woody's co-workers on the film "Natural Born Killers", the fat father, butcher, and not so smart or tough guy despite his talk. That's a character that would lend itself to a Ford portrayal.
why does woody choose such roles. Not a very good role model for the kiddies, what a hypocrit
I have never missed a federal, provincial or city election in my life and I am 70 years old. It is our civic responsibility to get out there to vote. It is not like it happens every day and for the ones that don't, they should be fined and make it a large fine.
you still beleive in votes
the disdain Woody exhibits towards Ghomeshi is palpable.
Who do you think Woody would rather be with - Billy Bob Thornton or Jian Ghomeshi?
Thank you for this video. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Woody Harrelson. On the other hand, I always thought of mayor Ford as an indolent bully.and now an ill-mannered crackhead who is capriciously holding Toronto hostage using clear mob tactics.
they don't shed too much light on the good he does on American tv. They should. Instead they keep re-running "natural born killers"
Susan KEE What good does he do?
Demetrio Orellana He coached a youth football team, provided uniforms, that is until they made that seem like it was somehow a bad thing and deserved negative press.
an indolent bully huh? what about the woman-beating host? he's ok with you?
Woody's a righteous dude.
Man I love Harrelson, always have
Rob Ford never printed that photo. It was NOW Magazine that was being less than honest.
Please make a movie about Rob Ford
@panelsofDOOM he's raising property taxes by 2.5%, land transfer tax hasn't been cut as of yet....so which taxes have been cut? I sure hope you're not referring to the vehicle registration tax. My definition of fiscal responsibility is trying to grab a hold of debt problems and scale back spending as necessary and he's doing just that!
Woody should be running Toronto!
He is so ill informed woody. The light rail is falling down. Public housing is never been run right in Toronto and he or his gov't is not putting more money into a bad situation. Mr. Ford has been around Toronto for a long time and is tired of the BS in city hall. He is opened to suggestion most of the time, but he is going to do well. Obviously Mr Woody has taken their points of view with out making his own mind up. I grew up here and lemme tell ya, he is a bright light with vision
Complaint against You tube's new tool bar (Guide) on the left hand side of the screen...hey, we need the option to disable this. It is a real pain to have keep on closing it.
wanted to see the whole interview!
"Woody" seems stoned right there.
People who make a career out of pretending to be people strike me odd..... and we are the idiots that actually make them rich because we are so shallow.
So-what if he's stoned? I sincerely hope he is stoned. Better than using heroin, coke or alcohol.
Stoned Duck LOL.... yeah, I'm sure loser's never used any of those.... lol...
Shallow? How so? Then a large portion of the world must strike you as odd, although admittedly - it is; perhaps acting is the most honest of all professions? At-least you know a film is an elaborate composition of facades and artificial encounters...
Demetrio Orellana "Acting".... Pretending.... is the most honest of all professions?????? LOL
Pretending emotions is an "honest profession"..???
And yes, I do find alot of people to be shallow and superficial. Most people are so retarded they don't even have a legitimate opinion about something, they just think they know how they feel by saying what they think they need to say.
Woody is just a stoner, nothing less, nothing more. Like most "actors", there is nothing spectacular about him.
Are you aware of the irony in that statement? Shallow and superficial? Such as defining a person by two aspect of their life, smoking marijuana and their profession? You say that as if somehow that can encapsulate the entirety of a person's character and life experience.
It surely is an honest profession. Are you familiar with the Super-Ego or any thusly derived theories about cultural normatives and conformity to such things? You know an actor is lying to you, you know he's pretending; yet in all other facets of life that are removed from personal experience you can be doubtful of your perceptions of others and your understanding of the things around you.
I'm not sure what you mean, the act of feeling is one of the few things which cannot be doubted.
Jian Ghomeshi only loves the sound of his own voice...meh
"he's a ford not a lincoln" hahahaha
Harrelson: Ahhh...ummm...marijuana legal? Sure. Got any Doritos? Jian? You told me this was a classy show.
@dannymaclamp Since all you could think of was The Border (which, despite it not counting you as a fan, lasted for 3 seasons and has been sold to markets all over the world), here's a list of excellent & popular CBC shows: Being Erica, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, This Hour Has 7 Days, Kids in the Hall, Mr Dressup, Royal Canadian Air Farce, Road to Avonlea, Street Legal, King of Kensington, The Hour, The Nature of Things, Cross Country Checkup, Morningside, Degrassi, Republic of Doyle, Fraggle Rock
Where's the whole interview?!?!
I like Woody Harrelson and I liked the interview! Although Woody might be a bit too laid back person for a well structured interview!
woody harrelson is such a great actor, his point of views to me dont really matter, even though I agree with him, his performances as characters have always been my heroes. I love the guy, so keep going woody ur the man.
If he was really innocent, Ford should have just confronted journalists in a press conference by telling them to chose the drug testing clinic of their choice and he would follow them there. He chose to do none of that, actually he chose silence and retreat, which he knew would immediately create a widespread sense of doubt with the public.
@PortugueseGina1 What budgeting has Rob Ford done to improved Toronto?
Is that Jian gomeshi?
Most interviewers are such creeps...
Dude you can just see the cringe on Woody's face!
@gelishot That's a Texan accent, just heavily mixed with a northern one as well.
So Woody read the Star or spoke to his pals in the Tdot media. Ford has been Mayor for almost a year now and all I've seen is a city council engaged with the public in debate and progressive, yet, conservative (not the party) initiatives being fast-tracked by concensus. That's good government regardless of your ideology, unless your in intolerant of democracy.
@VolcardoReviewer yeah, he works on all kinds of plays and movies
What does Woody Harrelson think about Rampart?
Well, he had Ford pretty well figured out.
he's a ford which aren't bad these days, he's an edsel
Live in Toronto Woodhead
Rob Ford was the best ever.
Micky says " because I'm a natural born smoker "
There are still some costs, such as books, housing, etc. Those are paid by the rich students and low income students get them deducted. And the whole model of taxation makes it so that, no, the family making $40,000 a year barely scraping by gets subsidized by those who make 200,000 a year through taxation. Its the same model as the healthcare system in Canada, everyone helps everyone. Also, the income distribution is more equal in France, so that situation would be rare anyways.
Actually, that was very well said!
This is brilliant... I can't stand Blob Ford but I have to agree on one thing with him(only one)... Get rid of the Streetcars... It only clogs the city and create more traffic... We need more subway route... it's the only way for a city growing as fast as Toronto... Toronto is/was the 3rd most livable city in the world is going to go way down on the scale.
@kilgoretroutcanada How was Ford "engaged with the public in debate" by unilaterally killing Transit City? Check out some of Ford's tantrums here on UA-cam from his days as a loud-mouthed city councillor to see how tolerant and capable he is of "debate."
Unfortunately I have to agree with Woody on the nature of most politicians!
So then alcohol and cigarettes should be made illegal as well.
Hey Woody! You gonna do another Toy Story movie?
@dannymaclamp Some art forms are simply not commercial. Does something only have value if it has a price? That sounds a lot like Rob Ford. Some things are not about profit.
For (a very relevant) example: public transit. It benefits the public hugely but it will NEVER be profitable. Should we just let it die and only have private transportation on select routes that people will pay for? The heavily used routes subsidize the rarely used ones but they are all necessary for the system to work.
I live in toronto we need to get rid of cyclists downtown toronto. The make impossible for motorists
get rid of the motorists.
Is he still 20 something??
Or, you know, the French just have the right idea of education that actually HELPS the economy and don't believe in driving their students into mounds of debt for the rest of their lives.
Woody could never play a believable Rob Ford, he is too handsome lol
Is Woody comparing Rob Ford to an American? He does say "that's why he's a Ford and not Lincoln. Both Are American cars. Maybe he is just trying to say that one of his countrymen jumped the border and ran for mayor. If Rob Ford was an American it would explain a lot.
He's making an car based analogy, insinuating that Ford - just like the vehicle - is a poor imitation of the real thing.
Do you speak English, you can't write it. If you can't speak it you can't understand it, nor did you understand the comment I made.
Cars? Both are ex presidents. Ever think of that? Maybe the mayor will OD so we can literally say Found On Road Dead! However he's currently in Fix Or Repair Daily. My jokes. No stealing now.
@curious007cur You mean those "needy" who were downtown disrupting hard working (mostly blue collar) citizens lives and destroying private property?
Long term jobs? What kind of car do you drive?
Councillors that take your taxes and spend them on idiotic and wasteful things?
He's being very polite but barely tolerating Gohmeshi - and I don't blame him. Harrelson doesn't give a fuck what people think of him ... you'd think Ghomeshi would have gleaned onto that!
HARRELSON should stick to his side of the border if he wants to critique politicians. HARRELSON said that he "heard" from other people that Ford is a lousy politician. I'd like to know what people he spoke to. Probably the same people who never wanted FORD in CITY OFFICE in the first place. And regarding Ford hating bike riders. Not true. Ford said he wanted to make separate paths for bike riders because too many of them are getting hit by cars or falling into pot holes. This is true. 1) The bike riders in Toronto are careless. I can say that for a fact. 2) Many of the streets in Toronto need repair. The roads are in a shameful state. I saw better roads in Cambodia. 3) Ford wanted SUBWAYS to be extended into low income areas, because LRT (aka BUS LANES) will only add to the already growing problem of traffic congestion. This would have cost the city more money, hence a lot of people wanted FORD crushed in his tracks. NOBODY IN POLITICS LIKES A FELLOW POLITICIAN WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE LOW-INCOME POPULATION. AND FORD WAS CUTTING BACK ON GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT JOBS, AND BALANCING THE BUDGET. THAT'S A NO-NO. HE WAS THE GUY THAT WANTED TO OPEN THE CITY'S ACCOUNTING BOOKS.
perhaps he is refering to the former presidents Ford an Lincoln
Well i'm pretty sure they're referring to your "(LCD)" in brackets. You do know, LCD is a type of television right? So it would appear you did mention TV as a drug. ...unless of course you meant to say LSD.
I am against alcoholism and cigarette smoking. And I am against marijuana. Why? I've seen with my eyes what is happening to people who take on substances like marijuana. They also mix it with alcohol which make things much worse. The guy went mad in front of me. He tried to kill himself. I with my cousin had to send him to the hospital. He could be dead by now. Do you want such thing happen to you or one you dearly love?
He didn't just do a great job for his buddies, he did a great job for every single taxpayer in the entire city.
@curious007cur fiscal responsibility is the term. What would happen to you if you didn't pay your mortgage or your rent? you wouldn't have a place to stay unless of course you're on welfare! the budgetting principles we should apply in our lives should exist in the government too. Spending beyond our means is suffocating! Good job Rob Ford.
This guy enjoyed not only marijuana but also pot.
Translation: He enjoyed, not only pot, but also pot.
@Baseshocks So then Ford should take on the unions and not social services. Not sure how your argument has anything to do with the situation that is happening right now. Focus, rethink and try again.
@quincee33 I clean ducts, air systems and insulation for work. I work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day sometimes 14. Have you ever crawled around in someones 90 year old attic before? Sometimes I spend 9 hours covered head to toe in glass fibers, it hurts to bend my arms. Am I just some lazy knob looking for a handout? What do you do? sit at a desk? Occupy is full of people just like me, who are sick and tired of doing everything for everyone and sold out up river in return.
@MegaYapyapyap sheppard line ghost town? have you been here during rush hour i live on don mills, it fills the trains on rush hour for such a small line. no shit other lines have larger crowds they are huge lines, if this line extends to Scarborough town center it gives people of Scarborough a proper system, then you will see the line packed.
LRT is a quick fix, they have to flow with traffic lights slow line..... continued.
A normal society wouldn't have messes to clean up in the first place. A utopian society would be based on generosity instead of greed and I don't eat until everyone else eats mentality.
After a night of heavy beer drinking and disgusting junk food, I've just laid a stinking coil of character actor who wants to portray Rob Ford. No make-up required!
"He's A Ford, not A Lincoln" sounds to you like a Mayor in Canada is being compared to two former Presidents does it? Quite the twisted interpretation there.. but nice try. Perhaps not. Sounds to me like he's referring to the vehicles.. but whatever works for you!
his brother randy used to sell wholesale hashish (oz and pounds) (robs bro randy ford)
@PortugueseGina1 "fiscal responsibility," right. Cutting taxes and then complaining about not having the money to pay for services is not responsible.
The man can't even live up to any of the nonsense he spewed during his campaign. Where's the gravy Rob?
And we care what he thinks about Rob Ford because...............
This is a few years before the crack scandal.
Atta boy Woodster.
Woody harrelson is awesome !!!
@dannymaclamp Provide examples of how it is "biased," please? (you might want to check the dictionary -- "biased" doesn't mean "things I don't like")
You didn't like one show. Again, not evidence of anything.
Do private broadcasters have a 100% success-rate?
@dannymaclamp Artists ARE by and large "lower income people" and I'm pointing out it is NOT, as you suggested, because they don't work hard. So, why do you afford respect to the hard-working factory worker and not the hard-working artist? (THAT is an example of bias, by the way)
I get your point. In fact it is much harder to quit cigarette than marijuana. Yes, If I could I would illegolize cigarettes as well. But, such thing would turn people smoking something even worse than that. How about alcohol... first of all there is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol. I love wine and liquor. However, there is definitely something wrong with uncontrollable alcohol drinking.
I wasn't against marijuana until I learned serious consequences of smoking it.
people always look sleepy on Jian's show. Jian, offer them some coffee dude.
Smoking pot is a hell of a lot fucking better than smoking crack. LOLLLLLLLL!
That's actually a great idea. fining people if they do not vote... But then again those people may just walk in check the first name they see and leave with no care... We do need new laws of a sort to get people to vote... How about if a political party candidate makes promises and breaks them, then they must present in front of a court judge why they did not honor their campaign promises, mind you exceptions for such things as recessions or other emergency's. Continued.
really, not what I see on the news.
I'm from Toronto, and Rob Ford was exactly what the city needed... someone to cut through all the bureaucratic BS and wasting of money.
Woody doesn't like this guy too much. Leading questions, assumptions and a fake persona. Woody usually gives a fun honest interview but this guys a "Hollywood putz'.
@dannymaclamp So, you didn't get it. That's valid. But that's not an argument against arts funding.
I could name playwrights or authors or filmmakers I don't like, but arguing against arts funding = advocating for a soley (and soulless) commercial arts environment where anything challenging or difficult or controversial will be ironed out in the interest of being palatable and selling more tickets.
Woody's ear is being bent badly and he is listening to the wrong people.
keep believing what Rob says he's doing, he sure talks alot about everything he's supposedly doing, show me the change other than the privatization of garbage collection
A constricted and ego centric mentality leads to problems, an expansive, inclusive and collaborative mentality leads to problems solving.
I'd say be the change you wanna see cuz in the end all you have control over is you, and you have a lifetime to fine tune yourself into the best example, so do we all :)
What did you see? Last time i checked he got the boot.
