David Niven on the greatest luck of all

[@JavertRA]

My Italian great aunt said when she was living in France he once gave her and a friend a lift on the way to Paris. Always seemed like a charming chap onscreen and off.

Resting with God almighty. Well done mate 👏👏👏

[@timlucas2627]

At least he now knows the difference between luck and God's grace.

[@redraven1604]

He was a great actor. The Guns of Navarone is still one of my favourite films.

[@denniskumabe734]

Likes dawn patrol. W his good friend Errol Flynn

There is a certain presence to people like this that you really don't see today. At least not often. It is a much more rare feature. My father and mother have something similar but I don't even after all these years, and I aspire to be like them

What a gentleman

[@LuisGonzalez-dq4bg]

Epic eloquence and grace ☝🏼🙏🏼❤️

Anyone else spot a young gorgeous Sue Lawley?

[@Ag-gr9gi]

Alot of shorts of old British actors have been showing up on my feed recently Roger Moore, Alec Guiness etc etc. Theres a certain debonair calm humbleness about them.

Love him❤

[@federigonumpty1213]

He died of motor neurone disease. An unimaginably cruel disease.

[@Sigma.6]

He still had a lifetime of good health. That's what he was talking about.

[@karaperrio-du5gs]

wonderful man pure briish gentleman at their finest,and so right about health

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

I agree with him on luck and health. I came closer to dying in the hospital earlier this year. At 56 I'm not ready for that. I fought hard and came back. I just thought of the old cartoon with the frog with hands choking the bird, trying to swallow it. He had a great attitude.

[@ozstriker4075]

An incredibly honest and truthful man in his interviews and biographies especially pre acting eg he admitted to his first sexual encounter being with a sex worker. These days stars try to make it appear that they possess some magical X factor that is unobtainable for anyone else.

[@gregjones2376]

A great actor and a War hero.

[@carolramsey6287]

And sadly struck down by motor neurone disease. An awful fate.

[@robharris8844U]

Sue Lawley when she was hot 🔥 😮

[@susie8557]

His health luck ran out as he died of motor neurone disease.

[@johnfrancis2300]

He so looks like my father in law

[@terrymurray9818]
