- An exclusive interview with Chad McQueen on the occasion of the Jules Verne Festival's 30th Anniversary tribute event to Steve McQueen and Jules Verne Legendaire Award Presentation to Steve McQueen, accepted by his son Chad and his grandchildren Steven, Chase and Madison McQueen at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, November 11, 2010. A night to remember.
And now Chad is Gone...Life is too short... RIP....
Everyone was heartbroken when Steve McQueen passed. He was loved by all. We the fans miss him, he was the coolest, toughest, smartest and most handsome actor.
I like him since boy... Greetings From🇵🇱
What a tribute to Steve McQueen...his son Chad! Chad's 3 word description of his father says it all...'Authentic, honest, and a hell of a lot of integrity'!
Even after all these years. I still miss Steve McQueen. RIP.
Steve raised his son right... good guy.
sure, the dark glasses inside tell the whole story as does how Terry died, which you know absolutely nothing about. Put two and two together and you will know what the kids were really into.
@Janny Ross Ross Had I wanted to share the "true story", I would have done so but won't out of respect for those I know, I've already said too much.
@@Anti-leftist7777 Chad often wears dark glasses indoors or out due to serious injuries racing at Daytona that toed out his one eye & nearly killed him. And his sister died tragically young due to a cruel disease. So what are you implying, what exactly is your point?
I met Chad at a Porsche Rennsport event, & we spoke hundreds of ft from anyone 1 on 1 for several min(before even realizing I wasn't quite sure what to say he promptly reached out to shake my hand). He's an incredibly gracious, stand up, cool guy just like his pop who'd be very proud of him.
Yes he did! I met & spoke at length w/him at Daytona not too long after his terrible crash there & can affirm his pop raised a good man he'd be proud of him. Worldly funny too had me cracking up!
I shed a few tears with this video, listening to Chad talk about his father that we all loved. It's wonderful to hear the attributes of Steve from Chad, I always believed that was what he was made of. We miss you Steve.
Steve McQueen was and will always be "The King of Cool" RIP !
I'll always have a Coors Light for you Steve, cheers for making my life better for watching you. RIP..!!!
And after 50 years. He's still the coolest action star of all time. RIP Steve. I'd still like to see Steve McQueen's grandson remake Bullitt. My truest feelings and condolences for the whole family.
Wow, I was so crazy about Steve McQueen. What a smile and those eyes! Loved him in Love with a Proper Stranger and many more. He was one of those unique actors; one of the ones that can not be replaced, a one and only. I fear that we do not have those kind of actors in today;s world. Thanks, Chad.
I am stunned his son wasn't chased to make more films. Chad is wonderful...so was his father. I went to his former house in Santa Paula and it was magnificent and I was so excited.
Chad loved cars too much and he chose to go the race car route
My all time favorite actor. He was cool, tough,honest, and sensitive at the same time. We need more men like Steve McQueen and Lee Van Cleef.
bah
Don't forget Lee Marvin and Robert Mitchum. They were the same breed as McQueen.
Chad I will always remember the Locker Room at the all Valley Tournament when you tried to kick Daniels Butt before the fight even started.Your father was and is still my favorite movie star of all times. My very favorite movie even to this day is of course The Great Escape. How can anyone who watched that movie not remember the famous motor cycle ride with him trying to get across enemy lines. I was 11 years old when that movie came out. Your dad was a master movie star, who is greatly missed !
"Authentic, honest, and a hell of a lot of integrity."
Sounds like Steve McQueen was a lot like the character he played on "Wanted: Dead Or Alive." Josh Randall. That's good to hear. I love that show.
Chad, you was right. He was a fighter and Greetings from Germany.
incredible actor, still miss him a lot
Michael Smith i do the same
Wow this is in 2010 and ten more years have past 2020 and Steve McQueen is still being remembered today as King of Cool....he was a natural...
I know how they feel . I lost my father in 2000...But at least my father died of good age of 85yrs old and lived a full life. R.I.P. Dad. 🙄🙏
Dear steve and chad a place for you is alawys here in my heart your dad was the best actor ever r.i.p steve your the best god bless u n family
I grew up watching your father's movies with my father. His film brought a lot of joy and fond memories too many people myself included. Definitely the King of Cool.
thank you Chad, your dad was a genuine guy in real life and in the movies!!!
I like the way Chad expresses himself. Reminds me of his dad.
+Fortunata Pacheco People inherit certain traits from their parents. I guess you flunked Biology and Sociology.
Children also learn certain traits from the environment they grow up in. Which says a lot about how Steve McQueen raised Brad, doesn't it?!
Kent witchell Ce comentariu ,despre ce anume ?
Fortunata Pacheco you're an idiot Be-Bop.
Her dad
He doesn’t seem like his father at all. He’s his own person and has his own personality.
Steve dated my ante in the late 50's on leave in Washington D.C. Picture of them kissing.How cool is that?He will always be The Man.I loved that line in the sand pebbles, How did everything go so dam wrong so fast.What a cool guy.
nice...
He dated your aunt?
Please Sir, tell us more.
Chad I feel the same, because my father died when I was a small kid, at the age of 6
Dutch from Karate Kid 1984 was portrayed by him, he played such an epic villain)
You know points or no points your dead meat, dead meat
I remember hanging on the set with Chad during KK. Fun times on down days with all the cobra kai.
R.I.P. Chad McQueen
I saw Steve first film at age 8 and from that moment I loved him and admired for his work as an actor. I will always regret that he died too soon... too soon. In my opinion was the best actor I have ever seen. RIP Steve McQueen
Great tribute, Chad! Steve McQueen is the epitome of cool ...
The passing of Chad McQueen was announced today, September 13, 2024. He was 63. His children will carry on the business. Rest in Peace Chad. Say hi to your Dad, Steve.
When I was growing up in Ecuador, one time I saw "the Getaway" movie and I became a fan of him. I remember that he became sick in 79 and the newspaper and magazines stared to say that he was very sick. One day I draw his face and put it in my room, my mon came and asked me who he was, I told her that he was my favorite actor Steve McQueen. Years later my mon got sicked with terminal cancer, and the doctor that was attending my mon new Steve McQueen when he was working in USA Los Angeles Mount Sinai Hospital. Steve went to this Hospital when he found out that he got cancer for treatment. The doctor talked to my mon about Steve medical treatment and the fight that he put out for saving his life. My mon died in 92, she was a fighter too. The only hope that I have is that Revelation 21: 1 to 4 mentioned that Jehovah God will destroy dead and that humanity will not suffer from death no more, no more cried.
The bible also says about the resurrection of the death with Jesus as our savior John 11: 43,44. 1 kings 17: 17-24 Acts 9:36-42 Eclesiastes 9:5. Wonderful hope to see them again here on earth when we have a paradise for all.
your dad was loved by millions bye me just one
I loved Steve mc queen and he was a handsome guy
Extremely!
Steve McQueen should most definitely win a humanity award from the academy award people the fact that he hasn’t t won one is down right criminal he was the greatest
Ahhhhhhhhhh !! Steve McQueen....the best american actor of all time....unforgettable Steve...
Steve McQueen was a great actor could play anybody and be good at anything he does wish he was back not the same without him.
I remember, the night, the moment I heard that Steve had died. It was very sad. For me his best movie by far was "The Sand Pebbles". He portrayed a character so believable, so lonely in a background so far away from his home and mine. When you see that movie, you realize that everyone else is acting. He is living it.
11:11::11 yes, thank you. Everything about "The Sand Pebbles was GREAT...The movie, the music the other actors, everything, but of course Steve was the one that made it work. He knew how to express himself in his face, tone and movements. He went beyond acting. Cried for days after I seen that movie, his greatest. Also the hardly mentioned "Baby he Rain Must Fall" the movie that made me notice and fall for Steve McQueen. Don't worry, I'm a girl. :)
The greatest actor to of drawn breath .
On one can have a mother who is a prostitute and be normal. However, he became a success. It could be argued he was playing himself, yet he was admired on the screen. To this day his family gives money to Republic. It helps children. Sad your gone Steve the actors today come no where near you.
Hands down!! not only the king of cool but a real life badass!!! I grew up in So Cal, I remember his involvement in motocross and really helped in its success. I started racing in 75 (8yrs old) and I got into it because of the movie On Any Sunday, I didnt see it till 74 when I was 7 yrs old and hammered my parents till I got my first dirtbike. I raced till I was 38 and I am a huge Steve McQueen fan till I die. I hope my sons think of me like I did about my dad and Steve M.
His dad was an awesome actor..
I'm a movie dude and whenever I meet someone who also loves movies, we come up with some badass movies. The other day I mentioned Steve McQueen's movies to a coworker and lo and behold, both of us had seen just about every of his movies!
God bless Steve McQueen. Authentic. Honest. Integrity. King of Speed.
Chad you did a great video about your Dad, ya told it like it was, how he grew up and what he taught you and your sister about life and how you should be... Yes, you did grow up fast after the cancer happened to your Dad, same thing with my kids, I guess you had to go long bouts of time without having him home, our family did the same, it was how they made a living and then, cancer and chemo, just takes them away so fast, yet, watching them suffer is long and hard... I love your Mom, she's one genuine Lady and the only one I consider his wife and of course, the Mother of you two kids, you look really good in this video, I watched the movie The Man and Lamanns, you did great on that too. Love and prayers to you and all your family too. Thanks for the video and keeping his tradition of helping the boys home, that's a wonderful thing to do.✝️🕊️🇺🇸🎗️♥️
Steve reminds me so much of my uncle Jimmy, probably around the same age , both had same character, love steve
I'm glad to know he was very honest. His Son's love for him say's it all to me. I always enjoyed Steve McQueen's movies it's nice to know he had character too. Chad sounds like such a fine person.
Steve McQueen was tough as nails..loved him
chad mcqueen lived life on easy mode because of his wealthy father some people can only dream to have the fame, women, and money he did have.
but watching this interview i respect him a lot. he comes across very humble and gentle. rip chad mcqueen
So good to visit with you Chad. You look identical smiles..Im just starting to watch his work and bought the getaway...I was only aware of Ali, once I found out he had a marriage with your mom and 2 kids I was elated..I hope the new bullit will be fun to watch too. Keep up the good work and stay safe..
A Class Act ♥ Always the King of COOL
How would you define Steve McQueen in three words? "Authentic, honest, and a hell of a lot of integrity".
Just don't ask his first wife that question.
Very beautiful. Wonderful interview and glad to see Steve still be honored. So glad Chad is still around as well. Hard to believe it's been 5 years since the crash. I had just watched him in a movie with Michael Madsen and Chris Penn (Trail of a Serial Killer) and actually liked it for a low budget picture... then went online and saw he had crashed at Daytona. Also should be noted that Chris Penn passed away January 2006. So I was kinda weirded out to say the least.
I'm a huge Porsche racecar fan myself from Daytona & though I wasn't aware of Chad's crash at the track till long after, I read a DBNJ article of him returning to thank the EMS crew about 1 1/2 yrs after. WOW, no idea how badly hurt he'd been. Or that he was stuck at the local Halifax hospital like 2+ mths!
Then, some time after the article Porsche was back at Daytona w/their huge Rennsport event a 2nd time in '07 & I was in! How cool if Chad came too, I joked to myself(I knew he was still big into the brand). Well....sure as sh*t not only was he there but we ended up chatting several min 1 on 1 outside the garages!
Chad is incredibly gracious, it was a great time. When he turned on his cart & saw me standing there a bit tongue-tied before I even realized it, he reached out to shake my hand. Funny, in the past meeting the "famous" never phased me, I guess it shows what a huge fan I am of his dad! And to meet "his boy" who was THERE for most of it & all that's left of Steve was I guess too cool.
But it was funny, we sort of "hit it off" & were off & rolling on his dad, Porsches, his terrible wreck, etc etc. for several min. Chad is a chip off the old block cool guy, & also VERY funny dropping F-bombs so excited Brumos let him be back on track in their 911 RSR for the parade laps! 😁 I know his pop would be proud. A fond memory, & time to time still wonder how he's doing & if his injuries improved any. That cat is VERY lucky to be alive!
I got me a bro mance with Mr. Steve McQueen...
He was all american cool guy..Get it done attitude..
I watch JR. Bonner and Tom Horn all the time.
It helps that I have done some Cowboy'en....He played it very well.
God bless from the great State of TEXAS!!!!!!
A great tribute to a great man
Steve was a darn heck of a good truth teller. I knew him for a short time, about 4 years. I say, Silence looks. That tree there. The earth air life space around the tree. The breathing space. The life. The reality.
What a life.
Having Steve McQueen as your father
He was the very best
Legend.
Chad you are handsome like dad
chad you are one AMAZING MAN it has to be said. love from the uk!
All though I was born in 1967 when Bullitt was filmed. I truly admire the true spirit your Father has brought to Americans all over..he was and is a true legend. Owning the Bullitt movie on DVD and watching it a millions of times and never tired of it, walking by that corner market were the movie was filled and actually going into that grocery store sent goose bumps through out my body. Bottom line, you are a lucky son..my Father separated me when I was 2..have not seen him since1978. RIP Steve.
Lately you tube has been sending me videos on Steve McQueen. I wondered but realized a meeting in 1979 was a bit of history. Yet You Tube says it’s suggested for me to see. That chance meeting in 1979 would I remember. If I’ve forgotten. It’s loud and clear. Nice video to see his son share his story.
Authentic, honest and payin the bills
The finest actor the world has ever seen .
I hate to break this to you guys, but quite recently Chad Mcqueen passed away on the 11th September 2024.
Nice interview, good pictures and some great old cars.
Actually I get very real uprising feeling about Steve because he did something very different to me. He said he's make the movie thriller, but he was true life dedicated, near to passing to heaven, and could not complete his agreement. So he had me meet him at the Nassau Tavern, Princeton NJ; me not knowing it was him. I sat down. He appeared for real, set up white wine and champagne, which I sloshed. Then he departed and passed away. True life action for each individual innocent was Steve.
He was the man...
Well well well look who we have here, rest in peace chad
Yes, wish I could a dad like yours. Great Man.
i love him and watchinghis shows love you steve
I have had admiration for a only a few actors and Steve is At the top of the list.
Steve didn't say much While on camera I think he believed that less was more. He didn't force his character on U but it was easy to enter his world and wanting more. He once said in his role as a race car driver " Everything before and after a race is just waiting " How true that statement is. When you find something in life U love to do it is easy to emerse yourself in it. And then everything else in your life revolves around it. How lucky some people are to find it.
Hope to meet up with you in heaven and talk Racing.
Thank You. I was a 12 yo in the theater watching Bullitt. What an impression, Thanks Steve.
I never thought of McQueen as a family man. He came across as macho, tough, and outspoken but never showed any tenderness imo. He's def one of my top 5 favorite actors. So handsome and a great actor. His son looks so much like him. Gone way, way too soon.
My favorite actor ❤❤❤❤❤
My first drive in movie was in a 65 Mustang coupe ."The Getaway" what good stuff to watch at 15.All I can say about Steve McQueen is what a stud...............
OH MY GOD!!...HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE HIS FATHER!!!....KOOL GUY!
With what kind of life he grew up, he came out as a wonderful actor and a wonderful father! Not many actors or actress children can say that! He was a terrific actor! He was a natural ! He became a christian through BILLY GRAHAM! I watch the tv series he was the star of, WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! GOD BLESS you CHAD! Wish the best for your SON, STEVE McQUEEN JR., wish he would do movies like his grandfather! Don;t really like the vampire series he is in! I;m sure he is a good enough actor like his grandfather!
Steve McQueen was The Man.
I can think of no modern actor that has the same level of screen charisma that McQueen had.
Wanted Dead or Alive, I’ve grow old now and can tell you that As far as I’m concerned he’s one of the tv characters that I admired. No bull kind of guy that always had a pretty lady at his side.
I am 67 and liked Wanted also. You could tell then he was special.
Chad McQueen played Dutch of the Cobra Kai in The Karate Kid 1984!
Yeah, he tried to start the fight in the locker room. :)
It was good scene before the final fights, Would of been gr8 to of see the Cobra Kai in the carp park at the beginning of part 2 of had a scene with Ralph and maybe a handshake. Good to of seen Kreese get payed back my Miyagi San. :)
Yall know Johnny should have really won that...
nope if you pay attention contact to the body and face is allowed Ali specifically said that from the rules itself
the kick was legal, any thing below the waist is illegal
Steve nous manque le meilleur de sa génération partit trop tôt
Legend
I love his voice #CHADMCQUEEN
Well Chad,I have to say that it seems like your pop,like mine,wasn't just your dad,but your best friend as well. Mine was my fishin & huntin buddy,barroom buddy. We worked on the house together,we worked at Ford together,we built cars together. Your dad was one cool guy to have for a father. These kinda guys you really miss when they're gone.
God bless you Chad 😊
he was a cool actor thats for sure but to hear he was saved made my day he now walks with jesus. awsome
Billy Graham visited Steve when he was quite sick. And then came to Washington to conduct a service at a small Church just east of Wisconsin Avenue. I was fortunate to have arrived early and Billy discussed praying with Steve.
Just shows how anyone can overcome the trials set before them. SM played the hand dealt him and he won.
Saved? lol... more like conned
Religion is nothing but a sham. Created to control others. So many people make a huge living off those lies (Billy Graham for one)
Try Thinking For a change
I hope you listen to some of Billy Graham’s crusades on TV. They can be life changing. God bless you, brother. I will be praying for you.
change you better hope you are right. I'm one of those evil doers praying for your soul and mine.
Mr cool. Steve McQueen. RIP.
Yes,Steve is still the best...with mistakes,he was a good human.Never forget til ma last breath. R.I.P
Thomas Roth 68 To be a “good human” you have to have minimal flaws and cause very little harm to those around you, very few of us qualify for this title. He surely did some worthy things in his life, but he had major flaws with how he dealt with women he had relationships with -(hitting women due to anger issues). Just enjoy his work and leave it at that...
king of cool my hero
Rip MR queen
The King of Cool. This guy was the epitamy of it. in the Dictionary in the word "cool" you saw Steve McQueens picute right next to it.
Steve McQueen, forever!
ua-cam.com/video/YGk2WZHKqFA/v-deo.html
Thanks very much,
I like Steve, King of cool, i am french.
A great Actor, cool chad.
:-)
Steve McQueen, had the "look" and was a bona fide Dude !!
You're so right he had discernment he could see in people, he was searching for answers from god then spoke to Billy Graham 2 days before he died, he finally met the Lord when he got saved and was at peace, he had integrity and character
Chad is cool man!
don't thank us Chad because we thank you and your dad for giving us someone to look up to....a man who was an onscreen hero but also a real life hero.....came from nothing and like you say 30 plus years later he is still the ''the king of Cool''
Chad, has that whole cool vibe going on too.....I guess some people are just born with it.....
Time sure flies. I can't believe I'm still in love with Steve McQueen after all these years. He was one cool and sexy dude. I think the British actor, Damian Lewis, looks like Steve. What do you think?
No way, not even close to his coolness.
jeffsor47
Hahahaha!
You obviously don't know Steve mcQueen.
jeffsor47: Nope, didn't know the guy. Just a teenage crush on a movie star.
It's not THAT serious dude.
Nothing really is in this world if you think about it.
Haven't seen Chad since the original Karate Kid in 1984. As he's gotten older he really does look so much like his Dad...
Good stuff, Hilts!
