Anyone else been on an Oliver Reed interview binge? In all my years I have never come across such a fascinating and exuberant gentleman. So wish I could have met him back in the day ... !!
He was a lovely bloke… my Dad was a pisshead and he popped into my Dad’s local when I was in there with him. Paid for multiple games of pool for me and bought me tons of Coca Cola. Didn’t know he was famous. He didn’t act like it.
I miss Ollie. My god, do we need him more than ever! My grandad went out with him many times for drinks and they laughed and laughed. I resonate with him on many levels
Oliver never squandered or wasted his talent, he actually lived it and this made his acting as natural as it was, the fascination of every type of character and most importantly how they feel to be. Talent and tragedy must always be seperated, especially in acting. Maybe he was acting the whole bloody time!! The show must go on. Everyone drink to Ollie !!
Hard to say. He probably had a lot more fun than if he were sober. Just wish he had stuck to only a couple during interviews. These where he's a whole bottle in are almost undocumentable.
I heard he was actually sober during the filming of Gladiator but unfortunately the crew would gather for drinks between shoots, which spurned him back to the bottle. Ultimately leading to his demise later unfortunately.
He remained pretty articulate. Sure, when he was smashed at an older age, he lost a bit of articulation but he recovered his articulation when sober. Many hard drinkers loose the ability to articulate even when sober at at a younger age. I’m not defending hard drinking I’m just saying Reed was one of those who was actually able to absorb it and manage it well.
@@blueshirtman8875 Well he is more confident more social and literally died being as sociable as one can be, a literal arm wrestling contest with sailors and a contest so your not only wrong your wrong on literally every level a human being could possibly be as it relates on a social sense and you can not refute that as you yourself can prove yourself wrong via your own google searching or knowing of some of the [people he knows. Your by no means are rude or an idiot but you are however exceptionally ignorant, nor would it even be funny if it were aimed in jest,really.
Heard a story a while back from a friend's sister who worked for a well known hotel group. Her boyfriend was a hotel manager and Oliver Reed was staying at his hotel. When their paths crossed on a staircase. Keen to keep a celebrity guest happy, he said, "hello Mr Reed, is everything in the hotel to your satisfaction?" Oliver said quite loudly "splendid, my boy!" and slapped him on the back, almost causing him to go flying down the stairs.
Yes we get it Ollie liked a drink no need to zoom in on his glass..no matter how many he had he was more entertaining honest and spoke in a way lost on just about all present day so called celebrity’s
Thats why he drank, it puts seriousness in check. You see that in gifted people. They are sucessful, over achievers pointing out a simplicity of life pleasures. You heard him at the end, talking about a gifted girl who Prometheus theme going on.
Oliver Reed had a gift for making sober interviewers look foolish even when he was blind drunk. The more lunatic he behaved, the more insufferable they became, which simply spurred him to greater idiocies at their expense. This is one of Reed's most hilarious interviews, especially when he talks about The Big Bopper ("Is he still alive? You don't know?"). I was watching this on my way back from the liquor store and laughed so hard I nearly bashed into something!
I think he's great,if you know any of his movies you will know that he was a very good actor, and in his own time he was down to earth, he's not the first actor to be taken down by drink,the best thing is he said what he thought & was never a politically correct wanker like all of today's boring characterless boring bastards.
All these areas were local to me. Wimbledon, Putney, Kingston, Epsom, Ewell,Hammersmith. Ollie never really strayed too far from south of the river, even when he moved to Dorking. It was only when he moved to Guernsey for tax purposes, and then to Ireland. His love for Moonie is shining bright x
I could listen to this man all night. Phoning the cops on Ozzy after betting him he wouldn't run around a village naked has to be the funniest thing i've ever heard.
Katie Blackmon, In who's eyes was he "messed up" as you pit it? Only your eyes, by the looks of it. Please, tell me, whats it like to be fucking perfect? If a man chooses to spend his time enjoying himself, drinking beer that he purchased with his own cash, does this constitute "messed up" to you? You must be one sour, boring, lifeless old shell of a human being.
@@stevenaleshire7941 By 'messed up', she means that the man literally drank himself to death at the age of 61. Sure, it was the lifestyle he chose and it was his prerogative to do so. All the same it was a damn shame and a sad waste.
Whats the deal with his left eye looking up? i didnt really appreciate this guy when i was a lad but now i watch his interviews I have to say, he's completely genuine and says everything with honesty. rip
My best friends dad knew him very well when he had the Abinger arms pub and a pub in cold harbour where he lived total legend and a good arm wrestler Plus had a tattoo in a very interesting place He often asked people If they would like to see it when drunk Old school
First saw him in Ken Russell's Women in love. Blown away by his magnetism. Superhuman. "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them". Malvolio, Twelfth night. Ollie seemed to fit all three categories. Don't make them like that anymore. A golden age. Before everyone became a celebrity regardless of talent or ability
I'm striving to decide whether Ollie's glasses are indeed crooked, or if perhaps it's just his disheveled state that has projected a metaphysical anomaly (upon his glasses). I wonder if his plonker fell crooked upon the table (next to a side of mushy peas)? Or, did it just appear crooked?
He acknowledges the cameraman moving from his glass and then towards his face, and he says “say no more” [he knows what is occurring]- he immediately then begins furthering his mockery of the interviewer, with his banal conversation which he instigates about Keith Moon.
"Did you ever go to bed with a bird who didn't know she was sexy but she was, that's what a real rock stars about!!!" Damn right!! God I miss his intellect! -3 xxx
It was the producers I think. They knew full well that when shown alcohol, he would drink it. Like that Aspel interview. They plied him with Voddy-orange for 3 hours before hand. Car crash telly is always reffered to more than mainstream, specially with piss-poor telly like Aspel. Olly will always be a legend in my view. Case is point; Gladiator. Probably the best acting performance in that whole movie.
Inane questions really; no wonder Ollie almost dozed off. Some of us grew up around dangerous men of Ollie's ilk and we're none the worse for it. Totally fearless, he was a master troll besides a fine actor and raconteur.
Absolute rubbish. He was living his best life, could afford to do what he wanted, and say what he wanted. Lived in the best decades, didn’t have to work, and popped his clog on a barstool, just before all the woke lunacy started.
This man knew just how to play with people's minds...lol He would get your attention, hold you captive, run you all around the huckleberry bush, and when all was said and done, you have no idea what the fuck kind of journey he took you on, but you bloody well loved it! Lol Brilliant man and Actor, but yet very troubled...

Yes, me too
Me too
Yes they keep popping up

What a fabulous memory 👍
I miss Ollie. My god, do we need him more than ever! My grandad went out with him many times for drinks and they laughed and laughed. I resonate with him on many levels
He lived his life on his own terms.
You can't get better than that💫
He lived HIS life how HE wanted to and so he should.I loved this blokes honesty.

A completely charming gentleman. Wish I could have met him.
I died when he said, "Crumpet is the same internationally.". Destroyed me right off the bat.
Telling Fat to Fork Itself me too !
Ha ha so random that I laughed out loud at home
oliver was a true legend the type you will never see again, i worship this icon.

I can watch this man talk all day. Fascinating human being. Great British Actor. Legendary and Wild
' And crumpet is the same internationally , had it not been so I would have told you '
He's a fucking legend ! RIP Mr Reed
+y r no so not for the real men not for the hard men not so .
+udubidub hard men don't give a Fucken shit about Crumpet fuck it
I think he was quoting jesus in his secind phrase, maybe something about god in heaven if I remember rightly.
Talking about parachuting here, not sodding chocolate box shit, sugar tits.
I Think Oliver Reed Was Alot Smarter Than People Think!
I think he wished he was smarter than he knew he was.
@@amandajstar I think he knew that he wished he was smarter than he knew that he was smarter than he knew
Being pissed all the time makes it difficult 🙃
Its takes a smart person to understand the amazing mind of Oliver Reed this is why its over most people's head
He was an attention seeking buffoon
He was immensely shy. The alcohol kept him conducted, confident and social
No it didn't

@@archilonshadowheart7 rly
ah yes, the virtues of booze. thanks for the wisdom.
Oliver Reed was Legend! 😂👍 He was a highly intelligent intellectual and complex individual!
Reed’s personality is an amazing mixture of confidence, Boldness and challenge, he is a super example for every real man .
Ditto what a brilliant actor
Right. Every "real man" should be a drunken prick. Maybe in small doses.
You missed out alcohol from your mixture !!

He was very eloquent for a crazy wino. I love Ollie. It is that cheeky wry smile. 😏 Most film stars are so boring nowadays.
in the great wine glass of life...olivers was always full...wonderful man...much missed
He is so awesome. Miss him!
You're beautiful also x
Yes we get it Ollie liked a drink no need to zoom in on his glass..no matter how many he had he was more entertaining honest and spoke in a way lost on just about all present day so called celebrity’s
He didn't actually drink it he just held it. ☺
"How much (do) they pay you?"---Ollie
"Not enough!"--Interviewer
*sublime smile by Ollie to the camera
I love it! Haha!
Truly a one of a kind....Brilliant
Its that wee smile 😏, he never took anything too serious. I would've loved to have gone to the pub with him. What a laugh it'd be!

Why would you want to make someone look foolish?
what a durable organ the Liver is. Never gave up on him right to the bitter end.
ollie. a well educated man and brilliant actor. RIP Ollie, xx
He was not educated, just spoke posh. He was a corporal in the Army He was rejected for a commission as he was too thick.
My favorite interview of all time ❤ Oliver Reed
I think he's great,if you know any of his movies you will know that he was a very good actor, and in his own time he was down to earth, he's not the first actor to be taken down by drink,the best thing is he said what he thought & was never a politically correct wanker like all of today's boring characterless boring bastards.
Liam Gallagher and Shane Macgowan are a rare breed too
"You never talk about ladies.. you never talk about rock n roll.. you just remember it.. and keep privy to that counsel"
Honest and authentic, nobody around like Mr Reed these days. So talented, too
Do not dissect my hero, Oliver Reed was a spectacular human
Bloody hell! This is one of the most interesting, intriguing AND funny interviews I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!
oliver reed is a original.people have a problem with a originals!
Aqaurius
Oliver Reed was Legend!!! 👍😎
It’s a real shame this lovely man succumbed to drink, he was a national treasure.
Oliver is in my top ten people I would’ve loved to have a pint with. RIP, you gentle soul.
Im the same but im sure we would be drank under the table and out of town in short order
@Johnny-ip4mk: - and I would have loved to have been sitting discreetly across the room watching you guys.
HAHA. Gentle soul? he would upend the bar and slap the waitress
@@rexrexford Says whom? Oliver loved women. I doubt he harmed a single woman in his entire lifetime.
All these areas were local to me. Wimbledon, Putney, Kingston, Epsom, Ewell,Hammersmith. Ollie never really strayed too far from south of the river, even when he moved to Dorking. It was only when he moved to Guernsey for tax purposes, and then to Ireland. His love for Moonie is shining bright x
This interviewer is a complete pratt.
Trying his hardest to get a rise out of Reed. But failing completely
Never to be seen (or heard of) again..and in this sad woke world we live in..look at his freedom to express himself....a REAL MAN
you haven't a clue about what constitutes a real man.
I could listen to this man all night. Phoning the cops on Ozzy after betting him he wouldn't run around a village naked has to be the funniest thing i've ever heard.
"to be sexy is unconscious"
Oooh, that voice!!!!! 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You never talk about Ladies & you never talk about Rock n Roll you just remember it. Ollie you were a legend.
Oliver Reed was an original.
RIP, Ollie.
So sad he was so messed up at the end. He was such a GREAT actor.

Plus had a tattoo in a very interesting place

Old school

"some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them". Malvolio, Twelfth night.

Don't make them like that anymore. A golden age. Before everyone became a celebrity regardless of talent or ability
Badly Badly Missed ❤️ God we could do with him now and Lucky we had him when we did 🌞⭐️❤️
A truly great actor. Very human-refreshing candid-drunk or sober-hes' still Oliver Reed!!
RIP. You were a very great actor, Sir!
"you never talk about ladies. you never talk about rock and roll. you just remember it!" i fucking love ollie reed!!
You can tell When Olly was pissed - If you asked him a question, there was a long pause while he digested it, no matter how simple it was.
A legend.
He's still got the sexiest voice ever . . . .
What’s difficult is to be dishonest when your drunk. Why because it feels good to be honest and truly express yourself and cut the bullshit.
Great actor ...tough and intelligent man
Dovidjenja means see you later or goodbye in Serbian also.
Legend.
Rude interviewer, I'm surprised Oliver Reed didn't punch your lights out.
i WISH i met him for a 'few' drinks in the little cork pub and asked him about the old times and acting advice
Oliver Reed was a Great Actor and Hell Raiser
Great actor, great guy. Enough said.
He could see through people.he was no ones fool...and he didnt care of what people thought of him....he lived life just as he wanted.
I can't even imagine beeing that hammered.
Really sad, isn't it...?
Love Oliver Reed
I'm striving to decide whether Ollie's glasses are indeed crooked, or if perhaps it's just his disheveled state that has projected a metaphysical anomaly (upon his glasses).
I wonder if his plonker fell crooked upon the table (next to a side of mushy peas)? Or, did it just appear crooked?
Wish i was there!!! he loved ordinary people, he hated the people in the fake acting world. Ollie you LEGEND!!
Which is precisely why he did not go to Hollywood...
He acknowledges the cameraman moving from his glass and then towards his face, and he says “say no more” [he knows what is occurring]- he immediately then begins furthering his mockery of the interviewer, with his banal conversation which he instigates about Keith Moon.
That guy amazes me the mould was broke with mr Reed 💯
Love it taking the Mick big time rip olie
I'll take a few of whatever he's having - thankyou
Ollie mentions about a lazy lob and the camera immediately tracks downwards.... lol
"Did you ever go to bed with a bird who didn't know she was sexy but she was, that's what a real rock stars about!!!" Damn right!! God I miss his intellect! -3 xxx
Oliver Reed. A real Rocknrolla if ever there was one...
Crumpet is the same internationally is a great line lol
where is the clip of ollie doing that handstand (i know that's not the right term) on the patio table?
anyone?
the one and only
To be sexy, is unconscious... That's really what being a rockstar is about.
The interviewer somehow dodged a fatal bullet when he suggested that some of Reed’s hair was missing.
Does Anyone notice when oliver is drunk his glasses are not straight?
It was the producers I think. They knew full well that when shown alcohol, he would drink it. Like that Aspel interview. They plied him with Voddy-orange for 3 hours before hand.

one of the gutsiest hell-raisers EVER.
brilliant too, as both an actor and character.
very very edgy. dangerously edgy.

I've been sober for about a month, and Ollie Reed seems cooler than ever. Is this a bad sign?
Yes. Are you still sober?
No he is dead.

Maybe he just enjoyed it ! Some do.
@@stevenaleshire7941Shit, we all do.
@@stevenaleshire7941 Yes, but nobody enjoys being made worse by it.
@@amandajstar Agreed but sometimes it is the only option.
@@stevenaleshire7941 What is? Drinking or being made worse by it? : )

In my early 20’s I went out with a bad bloke mostly because he looked a bit like Oliver Reed. Didn’t last long.
Thought he might be coming today, he was breathing heavy 😂😂😂😂
I must be the only one who likes the interviewer, he had balls, was not intimidated by Reed whatsoever, stood his ground....
"should i address you in this interview"
Ollie:
"You may undress me if you like"
What a class act guy..
What is embattened?
At Putney Bridge - the Buckers?
