He once said: “The Fonz was everything I wasn’t, but everything I wanted to be." I beg to differ, a solid marriage, loyal friend, involved in umpteen charities and an all round good guy whose career has had incredible longevity.
I met him once and he was such a gracious guy. He put his hand out to shake mine and I did of course and I didn't do the Ayyyyyy thing that everyone probably does that encounters him but instead thanked him for all of the memories of the show and making my youth a wonderful thing with the show.
@@theprinceoftides6836 I met him in Boston a few years back. He is just the nicest man ever. I held the door open for him at the Green Dragon. He told me how nice it was to meet me after we exchanged some pleasantries.
I met him several years ago at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. I had a picture taken with him, and he told me to check the picture to make sure I liked it. He looked at it and said to take another...and there were about a hundred people waiting in line. What a kind man, and a true class act.
Had my picture taken with him at a Fan Expo in Denver, when he was at the table he was walking out and greeting people there to meet him. Super nice and very humble!
I tell you what's incredible. Most of the Hollywood stars look much older than their age because the life really ages you as acting is very hard work, but they all still look great for their age! Ron Howard still has that all American wholesome face and Danny Most and Anson Williams also aged well. But Henry Winkler and the rest should be proud that they all did family shows instead of the filth that Hollywood put out and continues to do.
He really is the coolest guy ever. He once told me he lives with gratitude and tenacity. Gratitude because it prevents him from getting angry and frustrated and tenacity because it gets him to where he wants to be in life. Beautiful!
Henry Winkler is from a era of Hollywood that sadly is starting to come to an end... I met him years ago at a charity fundraiser and he was at our table and I spent the whole night just talking to him and his lovely wife... He is such a nice person... I should say they're a very nice couple... I have been around several Hollywood actors in my career and many of them can take a lesson in class from Henry...
He is amazing, and he grew up in a very abusive environment all the way to his 20s because he has severe dyslexia. His family use to assume he was mentally retarded and when he would do movies or TV shows he needed someone to read the script to him and look at him now, he's incredibly literate when he speaks
@The Steel2011: True words my friend. I did stunt work right out of high school on several Hollywood movies right up until my friends & neighbors selected me to represent them in the Armed Forces of the United States..... in other words, I was drafted. Met quite a few major stars who were literally assholes, while others didn't let stardom go to their head. Long before M*A*S*H I worked with Alan Alda on the set of The Moonshine War. Truly one of the nicest person you'd ever want to meet, as was his wife. It's obvious Mr.Winkler is one of the nice guys.
Henry Winkler has always seemed like a down to earth guy. He is always grateful for any work (movies/TV) that is given to him. He doesn’t “expect” it because of who he is. He is so talented. I will always be a fan of his. ❤️
Nicest guy I've ever met. He was at an autograph signing once and before he began, he went up the line of people and thanked everyone that came to meet him. Plus, he stayed until everyone there got his autograph. Now that's class👍Aaaaaayyyyy👍
Met him in person, my coworkers and i actually moved Henry in 99 what a great person. Always asking if we were ok, if we had eaten or were thirsty. Thank you Henry for being so nice
I have always loved him..... growing up I suffered a few learning disabilities. It always got me down. Once in my special learning center class at age 14, my teacher read something. It was a pic of Henry with a statement. I wish I remembered all of it...but he told his story of suffering from dyslexia as a kid. He wrapped it up with saying that we are smart, and amazing kids and not to let our learning disabilities get us down. So, he’ll always have a special place in my heart!
I loved seeing the genuine happiness on his face when his friends popped up on screen to wish him well. Lifetime friendships are very special and they deserve the joy that that brings, they're all wonderful people!
My buddy lost his mom to cancer. They used to watch “Happy Days” for years and years. One day, Winkler came to his office in Hollywood. Someone in the office tipped Winkler off that my buddy grew up watching “Happy Days” and about his mom. Winkler gave him the “Eyyyy” and a hug. He seriously cried giving Winkler a hug, and Winkler was completely cool with it.
And i bet the friend woulda been cool if he had done the… “Eeeey, watch the jacket” bit. (In jest of course). I remember being all of 10? At the time and being obsessed with his Fonziness.
If you've ever seen click and seen him break down quietly as he walks away from his son and it doesn't break your heart. You might not have one. Lovely man.
He's great in Barry. I've never had an acting class or been even remotely interested in acting, but Winkler completely convinces me that he is one in the show.
I had the honor and privilege to meet Henry Winkler at the world of wheels show. That was back in 2009. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. We talked for a good 20 minutes i’ll never forget that day.
I love him so much. He’s is such a quality human being. You will never find a person say a bad thing about him. His humour, his kindness, his thoughtfulness. Imagine how lucky his close friends and family are to have such a human in their lives
Wow I look at them now getting older just like the rest of us, and I remember all the good times they brought us through TV. They will always be a part of my childhood in a special place thanks for giving us your talents 🤗😁
I love that entire cast truly, heartfully love them all. the affection the emotion the family bond that they all have its absolutely astounding and amazing. Of all the shows ever I believe the cast of Happy Days is one of , MAYBE even the only where the living cast actually speak to each other on a normal basis , they do not wait on awards or ceremonies or special occasions they speak to each other with the same fervor as they did on the show.
I was almost sure Donny would end his sentence with “Even on the Golden Globe Awards Night, I still got it” with the nutty smile and a wink. Loved watching those four oh the early episodes of the Happy Days....good old days...👍👍🙏
For those not old enough to have been there when the Fonz dominated TV, there were several years in the 1970's when Henry Winkler was the most popular and powerful actor in television.
Henry Winkler is an American Icon and legend. So honored to have grown up with him and I actually dated a guy nicknamed "The Fonz" because he was totally cool and cruised in the baddest cars around. Man were those the coolest of times ever. America just doesn't know what they missed. Educate yourself kids...grandma and grandpa were actually cool as all get out!
I used to have a Happy Days lunchbox in kindergarten. I loved that show. I used to smack the picture of a jukebox on the side of it and start singing a tune. (1976-1977 or so)
Classy fella , helps others with his work raising awareness on Dyslexia for decades , and WINKS at my mum and makes her day / life , when he was in Pantomime in Milton Keynes , England back in 2014 , thank you for being a true gent , a happy days fan , and a happy son of a happy mother 👍👍👍🕺🕺🕺
His best scene in Happy Days was when he was camping in the woods. All the creatures of the night were making noise, keeping the Fonz awake. He opens one eye then the other. He sits up and say's '' COOL IT''. Every animal in the woods chilled out. The Fonz then say's...''Let me see Tarzan do that''.
That was good. But to me it was in the Christmas episode that Ritchie takes him home. His " Hey God, Thanks" blessing before the meal gets me every time.
Henry Winkler is my idol ever since Happy Days as the Fonz. I would love to see him as the Fonz again as an old man. Maybe have a son who is like him the way the Fonz was.
When I was really young & watching Happy Days back in the 70's, I had no idea Henry was even cooler in real life than The Fonz character was on screen. Not sure he has ever done anything that wasn't good.
Class actor, so versatile. Brilliant in everything, comes across as an absolute gentleman, so down to earth. I just laugh at all his scenes in the waterboy, he's so hysterical, the Roy Orbison tattoo... What momma doesn't know, cracks me up every time 👍👍👍
Love Henry Winkler so much, such a sweet and humble gentleman. He was The Best as the Fonz... stole the show... but he's done some fabulous stuff post-Happy Days, too. Now I want to see Night Shift again. So funny. "You're a willow!" ❤️
Driving a cab on a warm Saturday afternoon in Madison, Wi. Got a call from a hotel going to Graduation. Name was Winkler. I didn't give it a thought, just another ride. You guessed it, out comes Henry Winkler. He was just like you would imagine. I believe it was his son graduating. I have had many rides, and this one was one of the most enjoyable. I never made a big deal about famous people, I always thought that was kind of rude. After a mile or so, you felt like you knew him for a long time. He said to me that today he was just another proud father and that pride showed in his face. And no. he did not have on the Jacket.
He once said: “The Fonz was everything I wasn’t, but everything I wanted to be." I beg to differ, a solid marriage, loyal friend, involved in umpteen charities and an all round good guy whose career has had incredible longevity.
Dead right. A decent human to boot.

He legit is the Fonz in real life
If the Fonz met Henry Winkler , I bet he'd wished he was Henry. A real Mensch.

What year was that? I moved out of state in 2018 but I went pretty faithfully to the fair every year. Don't remember hearing about him being there...
Had my picture taken with him at a Fan Expo in Denver, when he was at the table he was walking out and greeting people there to meet him. Super nice and very humble!
No matter how old he gets he will ALWAYS be the Fonz.❤
'Fonzie' is the coolest character...EVER! thumbsuptoyou,Lisa Morris!
And what an honor that is because that was "classic family-friendly television"
Correctamundo! 👍
Yes for sure Hey! Snap his fingersor Aaaay! Lol very cool thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
👍🏻❤️
Married to the same woman since 1978. That more than any award he could receive is his greatest achievement.
Those marriages turn over faster than a fish out of water.
Yep. Especially after kissing *all those women* on Happy Days.
@E W Me too.
@E W LOL!
Like actor, Mark Hamill. He's been married to his wife since '78 too!
That smile never left his face once his friends began congratulating him 🙂 HAPPY DAYS❤🌞
So great seeing Ron, Anson and Don. Happy Days was part of my childhood. They all look amazing.

@@QuantumEffectResidue Hollywood puts out some good films. The Avengers, Dear Evan Hansen, Eternals, Nomadland, Cry Macho, and quite a few more.
My childhood too I’m 59 years old now
👍👍 Ayyyyyyyy!
As a film critic I interviewed and met both Henry and Stacey for a movie years ago. What an amazing and kind couple.
Had the pleasure of meeting him. Extremely appreciative of his fans. His sincerity and friendliness were genuine. What you see, is what you get. 👍😊
He really is the coolest guy ever. He once told me he lives with gratitude and tenacity. Gratitude because it prevents him from getting angry and frustrated and tenacity because it gets him to where he wants to be in life. Beautiful!
He always carries himself with class. A true gentleman.
He is so different from bis fonz character on the tv show
Hes such a good person, hes being nominated and he speaks of how great a singer Don Most is.
Henry Winkler ...the most humblest , kindest actor in the business ..he deserves all the accolades he receives...
It's either the humblest or the most humble, there's no such sentence as most humblest, not even being American gives you a pass on being illiterate

The Fonz was cool in the 1970's
He's still cool in 2021
KING OF COOL ANTONY
Just like Ralph, he's still got it.
Henry Winkler and the entire Happy Days cast was a wonderful group of people.
Met him in person, my coworkers and i actually moved Henry in 99 what a great person. Always asking if we were ok, if we had eaten or were thirsty. Thank you Henry for being so nice
He sounds like such a wonderful man & thanks for sharing your special memories of him, with us all!❤️
Nice to see sincere smiles for each other amongst the cast.
Gotta love Henry. Who could ever say anything bad about the guy.
Officer Kirk, that's who.
The Fonz is awesome !
I guess him and Tom Hanks it had a feud for 30 years thanks got him kicked off the movie he was directing him in
If you did, he'd give you a knuckle sandwich.
Tom Hanks
Henry Winkler is so amazing! Love him to pieces!! ❤️
Hi how are you doing?
So happy for him...He's such a nice guy.
I have always loved him.....
growing up I suffered a few learning disabilities. It always got me down. Once in my special learning center class at age 14, my teacher read something.
It was a pic of Henry with a statement. I wish I remembered all of it...but he told his story of suffering from dyslexia as a kid. He wrapped it up with saying that we are smart, and amazing kids and not to let our learning disabilities get us down.

moviefan85 I am so sorry that your friend lost his mum to that horrible disease
How wonderful of Winkler to do that for your friend & what a great story! Thank-you for sharing that heartwarming story with us all!❤️
Thanks for sharing that story
And i bet the friend woulda been cool if he had done the…
“Eeeey, watch the jacket” bit. (In jest of course).
I remember being all of 10? At the time and being obsessed with his Fonziness.
So adorable how he reacts to seeing his Happy Days "brothers". ❤ U can see how much he loves Ronny. True chemistry between the two.
If you've ever seen click and seen him break down quietly as he walks away from his son and it doesn't break your heart. You might not have one. Lovely man.
"Click" was the movie that forever changed how I see Henry Winkler, and also Adam Sandler, as actors. Great performances from both of them.
Henry Winkler deserve this award. Big Happy Days fan!
Oh my gosh they are all so awesome! Ron and Anson sound almost the same lol! His face when he saw them all was so precious! AYYY!
What a wonderful human being . God bless Henry Winkler !
I freaking love Henry Winkler!!!!
Henry always has a light and brightness about him. Love him
He'll never lose the Fonz persona, it's cemented on him.
Actually he's the polar opposite of Fonzie...
@@MrPAULONEAL Henry's a real dren
He’s such a nice guy and does a lot of work for charity.

I was lucky enough to meet both him and his wife at a convention years ago. They were so sweet! 😊
It’s amazing just how positive he is always. It’s rare but always welcome
He's a gentleman and a living legend, enough said 👍👍
The man is awesome! Love watching his expression when Ron, Donny & Anson come onscreen.
I've always adored him. I believe he is a good man.
Hi how are you doing?
Henry is in fact forever immortalized in Milwaukee Wisconsin with a bronze Fonzie to which people can take a picture with as it is life size to Henry
"The Fonz" was one of if not the most influential characters (in a good way) in TV history!!
What about pinky...
How true!❤️
@@jayclause4674 She was a guest character...
Henry is well loved by fans and show biz industry people alike. He’s an icon and a lovely human.

I recently saw the 1978 movie "The One and Only" for the first time, and he was great. Congratulations!
Love "The One and Only"
Love that movie!
A fav since I saw it back then.. same with Nightshift.
Ayyyyy 👍....great memories...loved the character the Fonz..love Henry Winkler!!!!!! Stay 😎 cool always!!!!!!

Henry Winkler is one of the best human beings on the planet.
He brings me back to my childhood every time I see him.
The most humble 2 ppl in Showbiz have got to be Henry Winkler and Ron Howard!!
That was so cool Henry deserves more awards because he is a good actor.❤
he's like the warmest person I've ever seen.
I just love Henry Winkler
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
That looked like a Happy Day for him. :)
Immortalized the thumbs up .
HHHeeyyy !
Geez I love everything about Henry His positivity his passion for acting and of course he great he is at just being the FONZ
I used to have a Happy Days lunchbox in kindergarten. I loved that show. I used to smack the picture of a jukebox on the side of it and start singing a tune. (1976-1977 or so)

He's one of the greatest guys in the world.
Love Henry great sense of humor.. 😊👍👍👍👍👍
That's cool that your fellow co-star s touched base with you.Live on "FONZ" and GOD BLESS YOU!
Great class and humbleness..will alway be the Fonz!
I met him in person and he is as good and kind and warm and wonderful as he seems on t.v. Simply an awesome human 💞
Such a humble & gracious soul
I used to love Happy Days, it had a real feel good factor
henry is a fantastic human being. i just love the fonz

yes two good episodes of happy days.
I agree completely
That instant smile, the moment he saw Ron (…. then Anson and Donny), was beautiful. ❤❤
One guy I've never heard anything bad about.
Well... He tricked us all. That wasn't him on the ski's jumping the shark. What a fraud! 😜
Ron Howard is another guy no one said a bad thing about.
HEY ! hes the fonz
Henry and John Ritter was two actors that you never heard one bad word about ..and they where good friends as well.
I think everyone on that show had good morals and it seems to carry into real life, only my theory anyway
Anson Williams and Don Most have aged pretty well.
Henry Winkler is my idol ever since Happy Days as the Fonz. I would love to see him as the Fonz again as an old man. Maybe have a son who is like him the way the Fonz was.
His smile is so genuine. Love the Guy!
He’s the most precious man ❤️
Hi how are you doing?
One of the nicest guys ever. Truly lovely modest guy.
He is such a wonderful guy.
Henry Winkler and Betty White should live forever
Kind of man I wish could live forever.
He is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He takes time to talk to everybody.
I love him 'waving' at his co-stars on the video as though they could see him. That was so cute! But then I love everything about Henry!
Many happy memories of watching Henry Winkler and the gang doing Happy Days. What a guy.
Henry is amazing !!!! Love everything he does !!!
The Fonz is the coolest dude in the History of the world
is he epic, iconic, monumental and a legend too? Best ever?
Exactamundo
That is for sure God Bless Him and His Wife
