@@jlbaker2000 What a waste dear... WHAT A WASTE!
This guy makes Henry Cavill look ugly LOL
I would have loved to have heard him sing.
@@rudy1999
Nonsense 🙄
He was absolutely gorgeous...and that voice ❤
YES, the voice !
Голос очень дремуч и тяжел для восприятия
He radiates such kindness. He had a good soul
because everyone treats him well, if he was short and ugly it'd be a different story
@@throwaway-lo4zwno its just his inner light
He was the actor of my childhood. He was just an angel. R.I.P. John❤
Me too. I liked voyagers tv show
Jon
I had a major crush on him in the 80's. Crushed when he passed away.
I was, am and will forever mourn the loss of John.
He was not just handsome, he was multi talented, grounded, real, interesting, funny and his future would have been amazing.
A tragic accident robbed us of an international treasure.
Athletic, musical, intelligent, a director in the making and soooo much more. His attention to details and things being ‘just so’ is interesting.
Can You imagine if He had have got the part of Hans Solo.
Oh John 😢.
X
Yes he seemed to be very down to earth very real. I saw an interview about a month before he died. I didn't detect any conceit at all

If we can take comfort from Jon-Erik's death, it's that he saved many people's lives.
Exactly he save 6 People with serious problems blees you eric,rip
The gentleman who got his heart, lived for almost another twenty years...
5 to be exact from organ donation
Never seen such a good looking man ...incredible !
what about me sweetie?
And me !
This guy makes Henry Cavill look ugly LOL
@@rudy1999
No he doesn't, you silly twit!
I was told I look like this guy x jean claude van dam but never heard of him. Heard how he died sadly due to an accident firearm shooting.
Today is the 40th anniversary of the accident that took his life. Still hard to believe it even happened, even after all this time. The world has changed so much since he died. He had so much to live for, he would have turned 67 in November.
Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom Cruise could not stand next to him on looks .
Henry Cavill too. He destroys all of them.
@@rudy1999 i think im pretty good looking but might not want to hit a club with him..lol
@@rudy1999
Just cut the crap fool
@@rudy1999 i feel like henry cavill,jason momoa,matt lemond,matt boomer,hernaan drago and hexum kinda have vey similar facial structure
@@BullDog-fj4oj Cavill can definitely contend with this dude.
Just when you think you seen everything on Jon Erik...something else pops up. :) Thanks so much!
Loved how Jon-Erik gave out that burn to CBS for burying Voyagers with 60 Minutes.
This man was gorgeous with a deep voice omg they don’t make them like this anymore
This man was so so handsome; couldn't take a bad picture no how no way: I'm a wee bit envious!! RIP Jon!
AND, he had a very nice speaking voice
Kirk Barkley Maybe you havent seen his high school pics. He wasnt ugly but not close to this creature we see here. Its amazing what a hairstyle change can do to someone. I also read he got braces when he was younger.
@@eatplaylaugh3019 yes: amazing!
@@eatplaylaugh3019
Well obviously people don't look the way they did in high-school.
@@eatplaylaugh3019No he clearly had plastic surgery. He is handsome but in a uncanny valley way
I think he was the most handsome man ever born!
Yep, this guy makes Henry Cavill look ugly LOL. True definition of ''Chad''
@@rudy1999
Bullshit
@@rudy1999 You're delusional
@@rudy1999 Henry looks a lot like him though. He looks a mix of Henry and Ian Somerhalder
YES
This man so damn good looking RIP jon
Pamela stone he sure is good looking guy
Jon Erik would be 65 if he were alive today. I'd imagine if he had lived (and if Cover Up didn't make it) he would have secured a role in a prime time soap which were still popular in the late '80s and probably would have been a fixture in the many syndicated series of the 90's. He would have been a perfect fit on Baywatch, Hercules or one of the many Star Trek incarnations.
I met Jennifer O'Neill in 1999, but since she was also involved in a shooting,
herself, I was hesitant to bring up Jon-Erik's death! She still looked great, though!
I would love to see his face as a 65 years old man with AI tech.
@@zakialiberty8226lol
@@zakialiberty8226 He would PROBABLY be married to Elizabeth Daily if he were still around.
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for posting this interview.
Damn that deep masculine voice! Was not expecting that! Makes him seem a lot older
Да ,голос у него не айс
RIP and long live Jon-Erik Hexum (November 5, 1957 - October 18, 1984), aged 26
You will always be remembered as a legend.
So tragic that he'd be dead just 3 weeks after this interview.
I never realized how naturally funny he was!
He just seemed very nice and down to earth, normal personality and a sense of humor from what I've seen in other interviews
I loved Cover Up sad day when that accident happened. RIP Jon
this guy can be next to Marilyn Monroe and ppl still looking at his beauty AMAZED!!!
MM wasn’t all that beautiful, she was pretty but beautiful is a no.
@@beyourself2444
Oh fiddlesticks! Don't be so obtuse 🙄
@@beyourself2444He wasn't either. He had a ton of plastic surgeries to look like that
@@8luvbug Who?
@@karthikeyanj8247 Jon Erik?
the chemistry between JENNIFER O'NEILL and JON-ERIK HEXUM was more sister and brother than love interest
She looks like she could be his mother by the way she is dressed
I was being nice but O'NEIL and HEXUM had a mother and son dynamic
@Al Person Right, I get that every time he interrupts her..the look she gives him.
O'Neill didn't like him at all actually
@@beyourself2444 Its because he was goofing with guns... but it was not hate or something...
My big crush as a teenager, devastated when he died 😢
This guy, was really handsome, and a unique individual, with a nice personality. Usually, most good looking people...Men, or Women, are usually arrogant, or really bitchy, this guy wasn't. I remember when he died, I was 14 years old at the time. And can remember how many Women loved this guy, his face had a big presence, on Television back then, and even watching him now, after all these years. Henry Cavill sort of reminds me of him, with the handsome, chiseled look, build, and kind demeanor. He would have been 63 years old in 2020. Sadly, his very own mistake/accident ended him, and his career.
the reason both of them give off a kind look is because they both have negative canthal tilt
@@nf7283 I doubt he had surgery done, the guy was a natural.
@@IncubusOfDeath yeah, I never said he had surgery done?
@@nf7283 who has negative canthal tilt? Hexum certainly doesnt
@@OscarMor5678 are u blind
He would turn 61 this year if he was alive
I Love Jennifer ONeill.
The show was Great.
Jon had a special quality.
I enjoyed his work on voyagers and he is gone too soon .. rest in peace john he was great in all his roles !
I wish this show was available on dvds for purchase!
Seems like a good guy who just unfortunately did a stupid thing. Never take life for granted.
I remember the day it happen sad for a upcoming star.
R.I.P never knew he passed 🙏🏾 He was absolutely gorgeous 😍
This guy makes Henry Cavill look ugly LOL
@@rudy1999
You make a rock look intelligent 🙄
@@rudy1999
I think they are on same level.
thank you.... you have more with Jon-Erik Hexum in your vault? Please upload them. Please :-)
Norwegian people are good looking like Hexum
It's interesting the way he leans into her and uses her arm rest as his own!! I think it shows how comfortable with her he is...or he doesn't know it's not his??
I'd say the chair's too small for him.
Hombre hermoso,Descansa en paz ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hahaha, I fell in love with her when I saw Summer of 42. She was really charmful on the movie and I was just a kid.
LOVE his VOICE
Jennifer at 34 Years Old. Such a classy woman. Summer of 42
I never get tired of Summer of '42......Jennifer O'Neil was simply jaw dropping in that film!
Casting clavado el de esa serie. Un hombre atractivo hasta el escándalo y Jennifer es una mujer hermosísima. Grandes recuerdos de Cover up.
Ahora ha pasado otra vez con Alex Baldwin
Yo veía todos sus episodios y era uno de los motivos de vivir cada día, así somos las adolescentes, estamos motivadas por alguien como el.... y de repente tv guía en su tapa dice la fama después de la muerte....estaba triste, pero su recuerdo forma parte de nuestras vidas, nuestra generación....ningun actor de la actualidad se le asoma, el si era un verdadero hombre....por eso hoy también lo recuerdo Jon......
Intelligent. Witty. Handsome. Talented.
I don't know about the intelligent part
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td
You don't know diddly squat about jack shit
Poor Jon Erik couldn’t get a WORD in edgewise with those two chicks blabbing away….
Jennifer O'Neill had shot herself in the stomach in 1982 (reportedly an accident as she was checking to see if it was loaded) and then Jon-Erik shot himself in the head while trying to be funny. Unreal. He was THE most beautiful man (with an incredible voice, too) that I have ever witnessed. Ever.
Loved that show. So sad about Jon. He was incredibly good looking.
Such a handsome guy:) A true Ken Doll:)
He makes Henry Cavill look like Steve Buscemi.
Two beautiful people
Bello por donde se lo mire 😉❤💪
To comment further, its hard to believe that Hexum is even better looking in this interview than in his appearance on the Merv Griffin Show. If you saw the interview on UA-cam, Merv was making Goo Goo eyes at Jon Erik the entire time. Or "Merv The Perv" as one person called him. A physical presence on a higher plane than nearly anyone. Past or present. Certainly more than anyone in the last two generations. For a Greek, or in this case, Norse God presence, a young Charlton Heston or Clint Walker would fit the bill. Or close. Other than that the young Hercules himself, Steve Reeves. This is an example of the physical presence of Jon Erik Hexum. Not five men in Tinseltown history with that combination of Cheesecake and Beefcake. Until a tragic mistake derailed a "What If Career," like perhaps no other.
Jennifer and Jon were hating this chicks dumb questions. Talk about not being prepared! 😂
That interviewer was clueless and boring.
In addition to his appearance, this beautiful voice...
What this man has thrown away by a stupid mistake 😭.
What a deep voice he had!
Wow he also had a very deep voice, he was perfect
I remeber him...i was a child ..but he stay in my mind...i wasnot know what happende with him..its so sad ...he was very very handsome
Now he’s forever young and handsome for always. He’ll never change
Henry Cavill in looks is close to him but Jon was one of a kind RIP my first crush
Poor boy died four months later after interview
One month after.
I don’t think Jennifer liked him at all and you can tell he has poor eyesight but he was so very handsome and had a voice
Why do you think she didn't like him?
OP, she's being very professional.
All the thirsty women on the comment section, I thought you only want a man with a good personality and a sense of humor ?
Is it such a shocking revelation for incels that women find hot men hot?😂
thank you
I loved that man.
Eventually the friendship would’ve blossomed into a romance with more seasons
his voice is like a Greek god's voice.
handsome and the voice what a combo
He was Steve Reeves 2.0
If only he had researched guns a little more - especially blanks.
He would have done the same with a fire hose.
He is so beautiful and Jennifer O’Neil is gorgeous too. I just heard of him.
There might be a conspiracy theory that maybe someone was jealous and put a real bullet in Jon 's gun ...Maybe
A right hand hook with that 60 minutes quip.
that's because Voyagers on NBC aired in the same timeslot as 60 Minutes in 1982 (Sunday at 7/6 central)
He's so handsome
How can I make my voice much more deep, like his voice. I have done when I had 20 some voice lessons, I can get my voice from a low not like a baritone until a F#6 in my head voice. But my voice is all the time in the up tenor mode and without depth. I want to get to these beautiful deep notes when I am speaking:(
01:06 Jennifer O'Neill is wondering if the host is drunk.
BULLDOG'S COMMENT IS SPOT ON. There is no actor alive now as good looking as Jon Erik Hexum. By any taste or standard. Brad Pitt's mother would tell you Hexum was better looking!! He was simply absurd as a physical presence in any role. As I've commented before, Hexums biggest competition now isn't an actor at all. At least not yet. The Raider quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a perfect doppelganger for the great matinee idol Tyrone Power. Unbelievably good-looking. If he could play on his looks, Tom Brady would be left in a ditch.
Nigdy o Tobie Kochany nie zapomnę 😢❤
She is eyeing him a lot. Body language
I've zero interest in men, but wow... Jon is hotter than the sun.
He makes Henry Cavill look ugly =]]

Fake news
Stop repeating yourself like a broken record
@@tweedledee5375
He makes Henry Cavill look average
pedazo d hombre jeh...♥♥♥♥
This interviewer was strange.
I completely agree! She is cringe worthy. She can't interview for squat. I would have just walked out and left her sorry butt seating right there. What a complete waste of their time.
she's a bit of a legend. Theres twitter threads about her & her interviews.
Is it just me or did Jennifer look older than her true age? Not that she didn't look beautiful. I calculated her age and I think she was only in her mid 30s to his mid 20s. Maybe it was also the 80s makeup and style.
She looks and sounds very mature. Not a youthful 36 year old.
Jon didn't either
0:05 "Jennifer O apostrophe O Neill" - Leta's not very bright, is she?
Seen like Yesterday. 1984. I missed those days when America was America and life was so simple. We all gonna age,I am 50 Today. Jennifer was 34 back then and Erik was 26 .Life will come to kiss our faces
Well, aging is too depressing to think about. It's disgusting.
He died 1 month after this interview.
jennifer o'neill has been married 9 times wow
how is the name of this film?
Dude is Unmoggable 👍👍💀💀
He mogs everyone even after death 💀💀
@@Brownie8239 on hexum grave
To this day, I still think that he was sexy AF. There was an intangible quality about him that just screamed 'star'.
I Loved Cover Up.
The two stars were Great.
Who is this interviewer?
She is Excellent.
Guapisimo educado saber estar
Why weren't they taught the dangers of a blank shooting gun. 😢😢😢 Nice guy. Very sad loss. RIP
He was roommate with Anthony Hamilton
Wow, this interviewer is annoying. Love you Jack.
Yeah, she is. Doesn't seem to know what's going on.
They seem _very_ uncomfortable sitting next to each other, even though they were co-stars.
Yes. I read somewhere that they were not close, not saying that they disliked each other. But just not chummy with each other. But O'Neill was much more chummy with the fella who replaced him, Anthony Hamilton.
The sound is crap
he was unbelievably beautiful and handsome... studies piano football talent...what a waste!
Such a handsome young man. What a shame he died so young.
Terribly sad cuz the pair and the TV series was so promising.
Sweet SUPER Handsome humble man WOW !100% Hot HOT!!! RIP JON-ERIK HEXUM
This guy makes Henry Cavill look like Steve Buscemi =]]
No he doesn't
Lol.
yes he does@@tweedledee5375
