I'm so glad that I came across this channel. This guy was my hero when I was a kid and I'm so glad to find out all these years later how awesome of a guy he is in real life.
Couldn’t agree more. Highly recommend doing an SXP event, if you haven’t already. You’ll get to meet him in person. I’ve done 2 events and he was a solid dude both times.
@@lisagregg1387 It is! It's all-levels. He'll ask who has either previous sword or martial arts experience, and pair them with people who have lesser experience. I think it works pretty well.
Dealing with age is simple. In your 20's, you think, "wow, I'm old!" In your 30's, you think, "I thought I was old at 20, I'm old!" In your 40's, you say, "wow, I'm aging!" In your 50's, 60's, and 70's you think, "wow, now I'm old!" Then a 90 year old reminds you that you STILL have a ways to go! My point being, if you spend your whole life thinking you're old, then you'll be old your whole life.
Mr Paul played Duncan Mccloud so well that i expected him to look the same as he did on the show 30 years later. 1 of the most underated actors of the 90s. You look great sir the years have been kind to you. Best of luck
I'm 68 and people tell me I don't look my age. But I'm reminded of it everyday. Working out or any physical activity becomes a little more challenging.
I've always been a big fan of this franchise and having two highlander characters was like OMG. Connor and Duncan were truely like brothers and endgame was a good way to end Connor's journey, but he still continued on through Duncan. A big thank you to Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert for enriching my sci fi geekness that much more.
"Youth is wasted on the young" ... George Bernard Shaw "Your most difficult opponent will be old age" ... Dan Inosanto's Father so in other words ... "Rock and Roll all nite and party every day" ... KISS :)
I completely relate to your thoughts. I'm a film worker... Transportation Division and I've worked the "Fraturdays"! My first several years in the industry were a blur. Work sleep work sleep....one day weekend..... it takes it's toll eventually unless you are pro active and deliberately take time off to recharge or just carefully manage which jobs you accept. Now I strictly accept off set jobs.... regular hours home by 630. and.....ta da....MORE SLEEP 💤💤💤. Aaaaaahhhhh! Thanks Adrian for Highlander. You were made for the role of Duncan MacLeod. Thank you for your contribution and sacrifices to take us away on the journey of the Highlander! God bless you always!
I have been rewatching the series lately. I just came across one of the episodes with Roger Daltry. I remember watching the episode when it came out thinking, “Man Roger Daltry looks old”. Now 30 years later, Roger Daltry looks young.
I didn’t discover Highlander until it was nearly done. I sure loved watching it when I could, though. I was in my 30s when I discovered Highlander. I’m in my 60s now, and I look it. Man, look at you! Maybe you really ARE an immortal. 😊
I'm in my early 30s. My 20s were not a good time. Now all of a sudden I'm suppose to have everything figured out, yet it seems I'm just starting. Time is weird lol
I have several medical issues and I am in my mid 40's and doctors told me 10 years ago I wouldn't make it this long. Getting older is a privilege and it allows you to view life with different eyes when you have some experience and wisdom. ♡
Can't agree more Adrian. I was the same age as Stan when I was watching the series. and you think I have my whole life ahead of me and all this time has flown by since then and I can't help but think that things I did and thought in my twenties do not work now in my 50s. perspective and priorities they change. and I can't agree with you more don't make money the priority of the life because when you're gone doesn't matter thank you so much for the sage words.
2:50 100% agree. It's amazing how many people don't understand the true meaning of life, fame and their own mortality. And speaking of time you, dear sir, put into the Highlander series, all this work you did....I appreciate it so much, so many joyful moments you've gifted to people
Hi Adrian, it is so nice to come across you after all those years. I hope all is well for you. Highlander TV show fan here. That would be delightful if you could participate to Comic Con Brussels in May or November this year. I will contact the organisers, maybe it will happen.
life certainly has a way of humbling us. I am not (that) old (just 48) and last year Covid very very nearly killed me (technically it still might given the carnage it wrought on me) but after a year and some months putting my body and health back together (as much as possible) I have a new perspective. Wealth, material is all bullshit. ALL that matters is the true wealth in this life . And thats love, friends, family , health and beauty. Everyone reading this will likely be dead within 50-60 years at the most. Those of us "of a certain age" know thats just moments. If you are young enough to think a handfull of decades is actually a long time...IT ISNT. Look after you body, take care of your mind, look after your fellow humans. Its just us against an uncaring cosmos.
Live every day. My husband and I worked the long hours to get our careers going. But after we did not wait till retirement to travel. Now that he is gone before he retired I am so glad we did not wait.
I'm 63, and I think quite a bit differently from the way I did in earlier years. I was on-the-go until I retired, but no matter where I was, part of my thoughts were devoted to the next place where I had to go, or to something else entirely. I was rarely completely in the moment. Now, I try to enjoy the moment I'm in. Admittedly, it is easier since I don't have to cope with a daunting schedule of one sort or another.
The interesting thing about getting older, is the things that you have learned from all the mistakes you made in the past. Another reason why I like the Highlander over the years that he lived he learned so much and became a much better person. I'm 65 and I have learned so much and I have so many regrets. A theme and many of the episode was about the regrets and the guilt that you carry with you. And it's so true. We really should live to be at least 400 years old because by then we have learned enough to be a good person. And yes at 65 years old I consider myself a good person now I've learned a lot and I could do a lot of good for a lot of people with what I know. Too bad I didn't know this stuff when I was 20. At 65 I don't have that many years left and I feel we've been cheated I honestly think people should live to be 400 years old. On the other hand though there are people that are evil and I don't think they would give a damn about learning anyting and if you give them 400 years could you imagine how much evil they could do.
Just do the best you can with the time you have left. Someone who is 20 years old could die tomorrow and you could live another 30 years. You just never know. Even 10 years is enough time to do a lot of good if you are determined to do so.
I pretty much gave up all my time in my life for school and my career. I have little time for anything else. At this point, I really cannot make any changes. If I can hold fast for about a year and a half, I am taking early retirement. I have worked so hard and so much in my life, that I'm ready to walk away to enjoy what is left of my life. I know what you mean when you realize you worked so hard for so long, that you feel like you lost a lot of time. I don't remember much of the 90s. I worked 3 jobs at the same time and attended the university. Actually I always had 2 or more jobs at the same time from the 80s through 2000. I never slept. Stayed up late nights studying and watching Highlander & Forever Knight. In 2000 I got an internship requiring much more training time, and finally I was forced to quit working a 2nd job for the first time in my life. Now I'm older and I realize I gave up way too much in my life for my career, and I'm not sure I can do much about it now.
This a great channel. I enjoyed watching Highlander show back in the 90's Once I got to meet Adrian Paul at a convention. It's a great feeling knowing he is a genuine person. I do enjoy the wisdom he shares.
So true I'm now at 62 ( soon) are beginning travelling and Vancouver is my first bit of travelling to a new country. And I hope the experience will push me to keep travelling making up for the work and being round family ( 4 kids ). So yes a very true outlook.
I agree with you! When I was younger I was so busy that I didn’t take the time to enjoy the things I was working to preserve. Now that I’m old enough to have the time off I don’t have the good health to do the things I put off. It’s really hard to find that balance.
Have enjoyed all of your Random Thoughts...it is so comforting to know that there is someone that is so well balanced , articulate, and Fun in sharing your experiences and perspectives...Thank You and Don't change a thing💫🌿💐🌿💫😊👍
What Adrian is saying is so true. Work is a part of life but not your whole life. Take a break here and there because time flies by so fast. Looking to retire in 12 yrs and it will be here before you know it. As they say, take the time to smell the roses in life.
I worked so hard as a single Mother. I’d left the safety of my husband’s job, moved my 10 yr old son to New Mexico where we knew no one. I was working at least 60+hrs a week, plus took a job cleaning houses on the weekend. I look back, from age 69, and absolutely know that much of that time w/my son was wasted. We had quality time, but it was short. Yet, I needed to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table. We lived frugally, even with all the work. Now, I can never get that time back… yet, having 2 beautiful granddaughters has given me the chance to smell the 🌹 🌹 with them. And, doing so allows me even more time with my son. He turned out wonderful and is an amazing Father and Husband.. in spite of me. We just do what we can.. when we can.
You should have never have left the series. You were my hero and a lot of other people's hero when I was a kid. Wish you could pick up from season 4 again.
I'm 61 now, and the thing I've noticed about getting older is the style of exercise I like to do has changed drastically. When I was younger, I loved training hard in martial arts and running. Now, give me walking, Tai Chi, Yoga, or Pilates. lol Slow and steady just feels better. :)
I wholeheartedly agree. A huge chunk of my life didn't feel as if it was my own due to a variety of obligations. Then my physical health declined due to over-working. Sitting at a computer and working. I had to change so that I worked to live and not live to work. Invest that time in me. Train, go out, and enjoy life!
Thank you for sharing your views on aging. You have a positive outlook on Aging and that' really helps you or anyone else I think. Taking care of your mind and body is important and you seem to be doing both. You're setting a good example for some of us that are 50 and above. Even better you have more time to spend with your family.
A wise man once told me (Dad) that to be happy and live a full life you need to live in preparation for your death. In other words, live, experience, fail, triumph, and be grateful for every day. Sure I wish I were 30 again and know what I know now. But that’s not how it works. The sweetness is in knowing it will end… (The world has only one sweet moment set aside for us…) Live, learn, love, and grow older…
I learned the lesson as a movie usher in high school. I could see all the free movies I wanted as a perk...but I was working most every Fri-Sun and going to school M-F. In other words it doesn't matter what free perks you have or how much money you make if you never have time to use any of it. Later we learn just how short life is and to really appreciate God and the people in our lives.
Very well said. I've been thinking a lot lately how I was a workaholic in my late 30s with a full time day job and a thriving home business. I made lots of money but was working non stop 7 days a week and was having no success dating. When I shared my lack of romantic success with a female acquaintance one day she gave me an incredible gift - honesty. She said flat out - you're a decent looking guy and hard working yes, but very few women would want to be with someone who worked non-stop. That was a turning point for me when I realized if I wanted companionship and to get married one day then I had to create the space for in my life. I shut down my business and started pursuing new hobbies and interests and after that dating became much easier and I was a much happier person for it. And after a few bumps in the road, I met my future wife and never looked back.
Had a brief conversation with a man who owned a beautiful seaside home in SW Florida. I remarked how lovely it was and he said at his age you don't value possessions, you value time because you can't get any more of it. I had only been walking by his house bc I was taking a break from visiting my ailing mother at the nearby hospital so his words really struck a nerve with me
There can be only one, and I guess Duncan was the last one, his reward for being the last one with head still attached is given that special reward which is to be able to grow old and pass away like all the other humans. This would explain why Duncan aka Adraian isn't as young as he was anymore and is talking about your typical human old man kinda things lol. The reward for being the last standing Highlander is given the ability to age. For any immortal to be able to age and die is the best gift any immortal can have.
Finally? Finally? Someone who gets what I have been trying too say for the last 9 years of my life as I am 48 or am I younger??? Either way! People don't understand that like you & I do... Thanks Adrian! You're the best!!
Great take on getting older Mr. Paul age is a state of mind and as you get older you have to assess the things the most important and you got to enjoy them and like you said you can't take money with you and when you die you would rather have more time and more money and this is coming from a guy who's a tremendous fan and I'm just discovered your channel I'm going to keep watching cuz I like a lot of insights you have and this is from your number one fan 👍💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Adrian is not getting older! He looks amazing as he purportedly "ages." I had the pleasure of meeting him in person during a sword experience class (I took my mom, too, since she was a big fan and the reason I started watching the series as a little girl under 4yo) and I had the audacity to tell him he was one of my two first crushes from that age (the other being Macgyver 😉) and asked if I could give him a kiss on the cheek 😂 He kindly abliged but I bet I embarrassed him a little putting him on the spot, I'm sure he gets that from almost every female fan. I was so thrilled to actually meet him, though, and have him teach me sword fighting! I would love to take another class if I could! ❤
I agree life is not all about work but, u do need to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Life is like the little things spending time friends and family like the old credit card commercials used to say.
Thank you for this video Adrian it was nice to hear you mention stan kirsch aka richie he is greatly missed I'm a huge fan of the highlander series it helped me through a great deal of hard times
When I was a child growing into a kid and into my early teens, I was always the matured one out of my 2 older siblings. My parents did not worry about me regarding my normal childhood, mistakes that happen that was set before me were not my fault. Around the areas of ages time I previously mentioned, my mind was 20 years of ahead of time, up until I turned 40 and caught with myself. I do not care about telling my true age in a heart beat {57}, because ! IT IS WHAT IT IS ! I know in my ❤ HEART I have nothing to regret or feel sorry about. Truly and honestly it is NEVER MY FAULT. Getting older do not bother me as long as I can keep my good health, I know I do somethings I should not do but that is on my own calculations, that I can and should change when I am ready. A lot of things did not turn out the way I wanted it to be \ happen, because I AM NOT SETTLING FOR NOTHING. In the eyes of the public, you call me to BUSHY, to me, I would intake the matter for its entirety and collaborate the whole accounts coming at me, just watching out for the down fall ahead time. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SAY . 👎"NO" AND MOST OF ALL ! 👋GOOD | BYE 👋! Theirs is a popular phrase ........ >>>> { IF I KNEW WHAT \ I KNOW NOW }
I love your take on getting older. Now that I’m retired and getting older, I’m finding myself a lot more contemplative about life in general. Though impossible of course, it would be interesting to go back and live my life over again with the knowledge I’ve gained. It would be so different.
Good message. I loved the Highlander TV series when I was growing up. I kind of wish they would do a reboot, but I'm not sure if I would trust them not to screw it up.
I'm so glad that I came across this channel. This guy was my hero when I was a kid and I'm so glad to find out all these years later how awesome of a guy he is in real life.
Couldn’t agree more. Highly recommend doing an SXP event, if you haven’t already. You’ll get to meet him in person. I’ve done 2 events and he was a solid dude both times.

(as you get older) "You don't want more money, you want more time"
Well said.
Dealing with age is simple.
In your 20's, you think, "wow, I'm old!"
In your 30's, you think, "I thought I was old at 20, I'm old!"
In your 40's, you say, "wow, I'm aging!"
In your 50's, 60's, and 70's you think, "wow, now I'm old!"
Then a 90 year old reminds you that you STILL have a ways to go!
My point being, if you spend your whole life thinking you're old, then you'll be old your whole life.
Mr Paul played Duncan Mccloud so well that i expected him to look the same as he did on the show 30 years later. 1 of the most underated actors of the 90s. You look great sir the years have been kind to you. Best of luck
RIP STAN KIRSCH !❤🙏🏻
I was 10 when Highlander the series came out. I'm now in my 40's and here's Adrian still looking my age. Great genes.
You're STILL FINE, though! Getting older is a blessing!
No way this dude is 63! He just might have a touch of immortality…
Lol
He's definitely aging better than Lambert is. Age hits everyone differently.
Working out keeps you younger, remember that ;)
I'm 68 and people tell me I don't look my age. But I'm reminded of it everyday. Working out or any physical activity becomes a little more challenging.
Duncan McCloud was a force of good for the sake of good we need more of that in the world
What will you do for your day
Can you bring a cheese steak
great actor .
All spoken by the true Highlander!!!!
RIP Stan Kirsch. Loved the TV series. Saw Adrian Paul in person at a convention in LA, my brother shook his hand. Great guy.
I remember when 30 was old. I never thought I'd make it past 27 and here I am at 51. Perspective is everything.
I was born in 1953. I never thought I'd make it to the year 2000. Obviously... I have. Yes, perspective.
I figure aging is a drag but it's better than the alternative! BTW, love the Marilyn pic in the background!
Duncan Macleod is getting older and finally aging, because he won tht prize!
You still look great Adrian
You've taken great care of yourself
I've always been a big fan of this franchise and having two highlander characters was like OMG. Connor and Duncan were truely like brothers and endgame was a good way to end Connor's journey, but he still continued on through Duncan.

Adrian speaks Wisdom here.
Heed it, people...because it's not about money or things.
HOO-YAH & God Bless Adrian's mentality.
I find the older I get the better my art hobby gets.
Duncan, you never get older. You are Immortal and always will be!
"Youth is wasted on the young" ... George Bernard Shaw
"Your most difficult opponent will be old age" ... Dan Inosanto's Father

I wholeheartedly agree. A huge chunk of my life didn't feel as if it was my own due to a variety of obligations. Then my physical health declined due to over-working. Sitting at a computer and working. I had to change so that I worked to live and not live to work. Invest that time in me. Train, go out, and enjoy life!
Thank you for sharing your views on aging. You have a positive outlook on Aging and that' really helps you or anyone else I think. Taking care of your mind and body is important and you seem to be doing both. You're setting a good example for some of us that are 50 and above. Even better you have more time to spend with your family.
A wise man once told me (Dad) that to be happy and live a full life you need to live in preparation for your death. In other words, live, experience, fail, triumph, and be grateful for every day. Sure I wish I were 30 again and know what I know now. But that’s not how it works. The sweetness is in knowing it will end…
(The world has only one sweet moment set aside for us…) Live, learn, love, and grow older…
Wisdom is a thing that we can¡t buy, Thank you Adrian!
Keeping my health and some workout. I still read and take time for fam/friends.
In YOURS 60S YOU LOOK EXELLENT BRAVOOO
This is awesome. I wondered how you were doing and now I see. Thank you for this podcast.
I learned the lesson as a movie usher in high school. I could see all the free movies I wanted as a perk...but I was working most every Fri-Sun and going to school M-F.
In other words it doesn't matter what free perks you have or how much money you make if you never have time to use any of it.
Later we learn just how short life is and to really appreciate God and the people in our lives.
Very well said. I've been thinking a lot lately how I was a workaholic in my late 30s with a full time day job and a thriving home business. I made lots of money but was working non stop 7 days a week and was having no success dating. When I shared my lack of romantic success with a female acquaintance one day she gave me an incredible gift - honesty. She said flat out - you're a decent looking guy and hard working yes, but very few women would want to be with someone who worked non-stop. That was a turning point for me when I realized if I wanted companionship and to get married one day then I had to create the space for in my life. I shut down my business and started pursuing new hobbies and interests and after that dating became much easier and I was a much happier person for it. And after a few bumps in the road, I met my future wife and never looked back.
This man is a legend and I sword master, nothing more to wish!
Had a brief conversation with a man who owned a beautiful seaside home in SW Florida. I remarked how lovely it was and he said at his age you don't value possessions, you value time because you can't get any more of it. I had only been walking by his house bc I was taking a break from visiting my ailing mother at the nearby hospital so his words really struck a nerve with me
Still one of my top fictional heroes of the mythical era of the 90’s 👏🧐
There can be only one, and I guess Duncan was the last one, his reward for being the last one with head still attached is given that special reward which is to be able to grow old and pass away like all the other humans. This would explain why Duncan aka Adraian isn't as young as he was anymore and is talking about your typical human old man kinda things lol. The reward for being the last standing Highlander is given the ability to age. For any immortal to be able to age and die is the best gift any immortal can have.
Its a state of mind....until you bench press or do sprints. lol You're right.
Finally? Finally? Someone who gets what I have been trying too say for the last 9 years of my life as I am 48 or am I younger??? Either way! People don't understand that like you & I do... Thanks Adrian! You're the best!!
Great take on getting older Mr. Paul age is a state of mind and as you get older you have to assess the things the most important and you got to enjoy them and like you said you can't take money with you and when you die you would rather have more time and more money and this is coming from a guy who's a tremendous fan and I'm just discovered your channel I'm going to keep watching cuz I like a lot of insights you have and this is from your number one fan 👍💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Adrian is not getting older! He looks amazing as he purportedly "ages."
I had the pleasure of meeting him in person during a sword experience class (I took my mom, too, since she was a big fan and the reason I started watching the series as a little girl under 4yo) and I had the audacity to tell him he was one of my two first crushes from that age (the other being Macgyver 😉) and asked if I could give him a kiss on the cheek 😂
He kindly abliged but I bet I embarrassed him a little putting him on the spot, I'm sure he gets that from almost every female fan. I was so thrilled to actually meet him, though, and have him teach me sword fighting! I would love to take another class if I could! ❤
I agree life is not all about work but, u do need to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Life is like the little things spending time friends and family like the old credit card commercials used to say.
Wisdom is a precious gift, it makes all the difference when needed. U GOT IT!
I just found your channel, You will always be my hero, thanks to you the highlander I learned disciplined and now agreat attitude towards life.
Thank you for this video Adrian it was nice to hear you mention stan kirsch aka richie he is greatly missed I'm a huge fan of the highlander series it helped me through a great deal of hard times
When I was a child growing into a kid and into my early teens, I was always the matured one out of my 2 older siblings. My parents did not worry about me regarding my normal childhood, mistakes that happen that was set before me were not my fault.
Around the areas of ages time I previously mentioned, my mind was 20 years of ahead of time, up until I turned 40 and caught with myself.
I do not care about telling my true age in a heart beat {57}, because
! IT IS WHAT IT IS !
I know in my ❤ HEART I have nothing to regret or feel sorry about. Truly and honestly it is NEVER MY FAULT.
Getting older do not bother me as long as I can keep my good health, I know I do somethings I should not do but that is on my own calculations, that I can and should change when I am ready.
A lot of things did not turn out the way I wanted it to be \ happen, because I AM NOT SETTLING FOR NOTHING.
In the eyes of the public, you call me to BUSHY, to me, I would intake the matter for its entirety and collaborate the whole accounts coming at me, just watching out for the down fall ahead time.
I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SAY .
👎"NO"
AND MOST OF ALL
! 👋GOOD | BYE 👋!
Theirs is a popular phrase ........
>>>> { IF I KNEW WHAT
\
I KNOW NOW }
love your work I have been a fan since watching you on highlander the series back in the 90s
I love your take on getting older. Now that I’m retired and getting older, I’m finding myself a lot more contemplative about life in general. Though impossible of course, it would be interesting to go back and live my life over again with the knowledge I’ve gained. It would be so different.
I would've liked to be on that Marbella trip!
Good message. I loved the Highlander TV series when I was growing up. I kind of wish they would do a reboot, but I'm not sure if I would trust them not to screw it up.
Well put Duncan
Thank you for sharing this.
He may be older but he is still Fine tho!! He's like a good wine, he gets better with age!!
You are a Hero
Agreed.
Well said.
Immortals don't get older, but wiser 😉💪
There is only ONE thing good about getting old. It is infinitely preferable to the alternative :)
Thoughts on getting older, from a guy who's aged maybe 10 years at best in the last 30 :) But yes, wise words well put.
