Dave H. It’s not that I didn’t think he had it in him, just that I’d never heard it before as I’ve only ever seen him on things like his SAS program where he keeps up a very serious persona
This man transformed from a certified killing machine to a likeable celebrity. Madness. Good for him that he's got the career he has after the horrors he's experienced.
@@SponzifyMee he went to prison got a lenient sentence and walked straight onto that job. Season 1 he was giving people shit for doing jail and he was only out himself. Little twerp. Always something suspicious with blokes who do 1 or 2 year in the regiment then 'leave' ie rtu not many 20 year troopers now. I seen this guy in uniform. I had more campaign medals and I only joined in 04
This man hasn't transformed. He is still a killing machine. It is who he is. He loves who he is, greatly, but only slightly more than he greatly hates himself. A complicated character with a simple outlook
@British Teeth Almost every country bases thier special forces off the SAS because they are the best, they have no fear and they get the job done no matter the odds So you can be that typical arrogant and clueless yank but you won't ever compare to our SAS, and don't forget you ask us to do the jobs your marines are too scared or unable to pull off successfully. "Who dares wins" mate
It's amazing to see a guy like Ant do so well after leaving the special forces after everything he went through. Some people who leave special forces, decorated war heroes, end up homeless or worse unfortunately.
dml190....I know , it's so sad to see war hero's unemployed on the streets. They don't deserve it . There's not enough help out there for them . They deserve the best possible treatment. It disgusts me how they're treated . I went somewhere some of these men were sent for so called "help". It wasn't for soldiers , it was for ordinary Jo public. These men were traumatised , and needed specialist care. I told them so too . I felt so bad for them . Not one of those men are alive now. They pressed the self destruct button . It pains me to think about it , they were decent human beings , some turned to drink to cancel out the trauma, and the only other place available to them , was a monthly meeting in a pub. Our society has let them down considerably. If I had the money I would help them , and make sure no middle man syphoned off the profit.
9:18 where he talks about living life on the edge is exactly why extreme sports athletes do what they do. You only truly experience life when you're on a knifes edge. In that moment life becomes so crystal clear and simplified. You'll never truly appreciate life until you've nearly lost it. It's hard concept for standard civilians to understand, hence why Russell started laughing
No,waste of time. I want to see Middleton versus Grylls - remeber what he said about Grylls ‘we are mates but I am the real deal’ If you are in a jam & you had to choose which would it be? Saving your life or having a nice bivouac & tree frog soup?@@zed4225
All men can go to war. Only select few have the physiology to survive the altitude of Everest. And I'm not trying to downplay what he's done in the marines and SBS. I'm ex forces and have highest respect for SF. But anyman can die on Everest, no matter how fit and having done tours of Iraq or Afghan won't help
@Horacio Nelson what I meant was any man has the phisiology to go to war. Only a select few can survive the altitude of everest. If you had ever climbed or been to war instead of watching RUclips you would have got that
@Horacio Nelson so you would know then any fuckwit can join the infantry few basic tests and that's it. What I meant was you can train all your life for everest and die as soon as you hit Base Camp. What regiment BTW mate?
The Banter between these two just flowed. Russ is a great interviewer. And I'd give my left nut to be 12 years younger and have Ant as a role model. I'd of sprinted to the recruitment centre.
I like the way Russell does interviews, with some serious questions in amongst the laughs and also how he talked about Ants wife a lot instead of just focusing on Ant
Ant is a beast. So thankful we have modern day gladiators like him, protecting our people. His humor is epic. And....watching him & his buddies on Who Dates Wins and how much the help people come to peace with the shit of their past, is a beautiful thing. Respect.
Can we see him in 10, 20 and 30 years to see how his mindset changes as he grows older? EDIT: would be interested in seing if age softens a steelman like him.
Would love to see Ant Middleton on Joe Rogans Podcast
raz 00 good shout
Facts
raz 00 he would be superb on a long format show.
Would love to find out how to make this happen
Ooooo Poggers
I’ve never heard Ant Middleton giggle like that and honestly it’s really humanised him in my head 😂
Dave H. It’s not that I didn’t think he had it in him, just that I’d never heard it before as I’ve only ever seen him on things like his SAS program where he keeps up a very serious persona

Just feel sorry for the policewoman he battered
@@carloshannon8346 he paid for that, and made himself a better man again

3:13 “what happens in the woods stays in the woods” not for Logan Paul
Oof
Damn....
😂
I really hope it didn't 'stay in the woods' for logan Paul and followed him home 😁
VO1D Heaney lets go champ
Russell Howard and ant middleton isn’t a pairing I thought I needed.... but this is brilliant
Do you know Russell Howard is a great interviewer.
I love how the keyboard warriors all come out to play whenever ex special forces are on youtube.
This guy has got the best energy compared to him during all the sas shows.
James Garrick I have a feeling him in the sas shows is his real personality
Well....he can't have the same energy.......2diff worlds
He’s a fake piece of shit
@@Apollowill3 Yup, when you've been knocked out from being perpetually punched in the head by him.. come back and say the same thing
@@bagpuss5088 he wouldn't my dad would fuck him up, my dad use to be way higher ranking then him and did way more special ops
The complete silence for Middleton when he speaks is brilliant
Joseph Richards he literally gets cut across in the first time he speaks lmao
It's because everyone knows he could fight the entire audience all at once and probably win
Alex Greenaway even Chuck Norris bows down to ant Middleton 😁
@@orionxx9998 yeah init I mean the size of one of his arms is probably the same size as my head
im totally behind the piers morgan idea
Yeah but instead of a jungle he gets set loose into a combat zone
@@darrenedwards2982 im in
Yeah but instead of a combat zone it's just a pit of hungry tigers
@@fudgecake4633 and those hungry tigers are armed with kalashnikovs and cocain
@@fudgecake4633 in a meat suit
His wife sounds like an absolute legend....what a woman.
Hi wife deserves a medal of her own, she sounds quite the woman.
I honestly think Russell should just do a hour long version of interviewing folk he’s really good at it
Just give him a late-night talk-show!
Probably one of the most sincere funniest genuine interviews ive ever seen. Russell asks real questions. Bless him. Good guy.
Russell is a surprisingly good interviewer
The crossover I’ve always wanted
First time I’ve heard Ant laugh...awesome sense of humour
What an incredible man; Ant Middleton. Full of personality and charisma, brilliant interview!
Anthony Middleton what an absolute legend. A role model and makes me proud to be British
@British Teeth you don't know shit loooool
@British Teeth USA doesn't even have its own Language.
E KL I love how sophisticated you are when talking to this wanker😂 then the comment underneath is literally ‘twat’ 😂😂😂
British Teeth come to the UK with that attitude mate I dare ya you’ll be absolutely smashed up
@British Teeth Almost every country bases thier special forces off the SAS because they are the best, they have no fear and they get the job done no matter the odds

I wanna see the day where Ant meets Gordan Ramsay
Your onto it, i thought that a few times whilst binge watching all the series available ))

I love the way Ant refuses to lie his way out of trouble , for example , when his lawyer told him to say he had PSD, to avoid going to prison .
Think that would be a good one, love Russell Howard and ant Middleton
There wasn’t a dull moment ! They are both so amazing and I loveeee Ant Middleton !💞
Notice he said "that 1% distraction could cost SOMEONE THEIR LIFE".... Not his life, their life....
Hell yes, sir! That's the mind it takes to be the best. It's not you, it's the brother beside you.
God Bless Ant his Wife and their Children Amen xxxxxxx
I want to put Piers Morgan through a car wash. Just him, no car. In his best suit.
Sry fam but even that won't make him presentable.
How about we change the long brushes into swords😁
ProjectFlashlight612 😂😂😂 what the heck did I just read
@Tim Loves Bacon Good idea
It’s funny watching this after seeing his interview on Good Morning Britain with Piers
I never seen this side of Ant! His laugh reminds me so much of his brother😂
Russel calling him out 😂😂
Crazy to think Ant Middleton has been through so many life and death experiences, but nearly died on mount everest. Mad respect though still
looneyty1 the mountain bends your knees period. The mountain doesn’t care who you are period.

Wow these two should Collab on anything
I have literally skipped school to watch his live show my god what a legend his sas shows just hit diffrent
Absolute legend. Ant’s a really impressive and inspiring guy. Done some dumb shit mind, but at least he’s used it to make himself better.
Ant Middleton is a legend simple as that and all his books are fantastic and well worth reading 👍
The Banter between these two just flowed. Russ is a great interviewer. And I'd give my left nut to be 12 years younger and have Ant as a role model. I'd of sprinted to the recruitment centre.
My mum had the most charming reaction to Ant Middleton "Ooooo he's a bit dishy isn't he?"
😂😂 to be fair tho his every other work is a swear word.
What does "dishy" mean
Your Mum's onto it, i envy his wife, truth
@@onepunchflan3071 it means handsome
I like the way Russell does interviews, with some serious questions in amongst the laughs and also how he talked about Ants wife a lot instead of just focusing on Ant
Brilliant interview seriousness moments and comedy go well together
Thanks Russell love the honesty the ripped Buddha has continuity

This interviewer is extremely talented!
'like most people in this crowd here' left the military but still firing shots
Love seeing him joke so much and be so funny
I was expecting him to have the voice of
Leonidas from 300 😆 THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!!!!
Love this guy. Especially in the SAS series.
" you couldn't show you was surprised because you had no eyebrows" 😂😂
Honestly, I would rob a bank and give Ant Middleton ALL of the takings in exchange for him decking Piers Morgan and Louis Walsh.
This is fucking GREAT! A bit of manliness, good old bloke stuff from Ant. So refreshing.
Anthony has such an amazing character- love his humour
We need men like these a true hero 👏👏
What a proper bloke
Great interview
Nothing but appreciation for Ant, especially his wife for the support system, it’s not easy being married to these guys
Ant Middleton and Jason Fox are legends!
Ant is quality funny haha
Ant Middleton what a guy
Ant Middleton absolute legend he is the leader and definition of special forces
Ant is an inspiration but not the only man in that show that deserves the same respect
Ant is always so serious, it's good to see him laughing!
People dont realise if it wasn't for other people like ant we couldn't love the life we do
3:20 RIP BEAR GRYLLS HAHAHA
This is pure class
Ant is a top bloke
I never thought I´d see those two in the newspapers.
Have you ever tried DMT?
Joe " I'm not doubting you I'm doubting whoever informed you Eddie" rogan
Somewhere in the DMT universe, theyre asking if they've ever tried Joe Rogan
But what about Australopithecus?
Have read first man in , such an interesting and captivating book defo recommend for a read
Ant is making money i see the louboutin shoes😂

I was wondering where my newspaper subscriptions keep ending up, apparently In a studio according to this
would love too see piers try and come for ant
Can we see him in 10, 20 and 30 years to see how his mindset changes as he grows older?
EDIT: would be interested in seing if age softens a steelman like him.
