- One of the most difficult series of interviews for me to watch....He was such a joyful,full of life ,nice person to work with.....What a loss....in case you never knew him...this interview will help you get a feel for him.....
Christopher D'Olier Reeve[1] (September 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004) was an American actor, director, producer, and writer. He established himself early as a Juilliard-trained stage actor before portraying Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent in four films, from 1978 to 1987.
On May 27 1995, Christopher Reeve was paralyzed in an accident during the cross country portion of an Eventing competition. He was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Although Reeve was tall enough for the role and had the blue eyes and handsome features, his physique was slim. He refused to wear fake muscles under the suit, and instead went through an intense two-month training regimen supervised by former British weightlifting champion David Prowse, the man under the Darth Vader suit in the Star Wars films.The film grossed $300,218,018 worldwide (unadjusted for inflation).[30] Reeve received positive reviews for his performance:
"Christopher Reeve's entire performance is a delight. Ridiculously good-looking, with a face as sharp and strong as an ax blade, his bumbling, fumbling Clark Kent and omnipotent Superman are simply two styles of gallantry and innocence." - Newsweek
"Christopher Reeve has become an instant international star on the basis of his first major movie role, that of Clark Kent/Superman. Film reviewers - regardless of their opinion of the film - have been almost unanimous in their praise of Reeve's dual portrayal. He is utterly convincing as he switches back and forth between personae." - Starlog
Won a BAFTA Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles.
Reeve used his newfound celebrity for good causes. Through the Make-a-Wish Foundation, he visited terminally-ill children. He joined the Board of Directors for the worldwide charity Save the Children. In 1979, He served as a track and field coach at the Special Olympics...
Such a loss....died at age 52 of complications caused by a horse accident.
I saw him once in NY. He was in a cab next to me and my friend. He was laughing at how we were freaking out. He smiled ear to ear and and waved. We were next to him for a while and he kept looking back and pretending he was hiding his face. We were teens so it was such a thrill.
What about Heath Ledger as the Joker?
@Bestgirl Sumi and you're rude.
What an amazing story. Truly shows his character as a human being.
You lucky bastard. :)
Did you meet Superman in real life ?! I wish we had! ♥ ️👍 ♥ ️👍 ♥ ️👍
His smile is so dreamy. Rest In Peace Christopher! You are a beautiful soul always striving for a cure for paralysis 💖
Awww...what a beautiful guy, both inside and out. It makes me cry when I think about what was to come. I wished he lived and learned to walk again.
What a handsome man he was . I can definitely see him in his son. He is so missed and was the best Superman.
It's amazing to consider that, when it comes to Superman - Christopher Reeve STILL has never been topped. It's been roughly 25 years since he last played the character, 35 years since he first played the character, and he remains the only one who really 'nailed it.' Others have tried, but no one has eclipsed him yet. Henry Cavill's got his work cut out for him!
Even now, as Superman comes into a new light let us not forget the light Christopher Reeve shined upon us..
I like that he honest about not liking one of his movies nobody would dare say that today
My first hero. No better moral compass than Christopher Reeve's Superman. Makes it all the better that he was a swell guy too.
He was a wonderful actor in the movie "somewhere in time" and "rear window". A good actor who died too young.
The best Superman ever. Nobody will ever come close to him.
Mr. Reeve, you are that dude😇
R.I.P christopher from australia
Oh maan, so handsome
wow, I had no idea he was that intelligent.
Reeve really understood what Superman was meant to be. He's so humble and was smart. Rest in peace to a true Superman.
Yesss🥲🥲🥲
How exactly is he humble? I don't get why Americans say constantly that about interviews with celebrities. Usually they are not humble actually. Interviews are so planned that nothing is natural.
Met him in London he was strikingly handsome in real life close up ,drop dead gorgeous with or without the superman suit
Christopher Reeve is the perfect personification of Superman as everyone imagined him . He set the bar so high that we would have to perhaps clone him to make another Superman look credible.. No other superhero comes close to him . I
Him as Superman has to be the best casting of an existing character in history
Ditto Ditto Ditto!!!!!!!!! and we know why, an amazing person and actor. Inspiration for sure......
SwirlyJoe And Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man would have to be up there with great casting.
DNAngel Robert Downey did a great job, but I think $50 million for one movie is ridiculous. I think most MCU actors have been great choices.
SwirlyJoe Agreed. No actor is worth $50 million for one movie.
Agreed, perfect match
The older I get, the more I appreciate wholesome entertainment.
you too?
Me too!🥰
Christopher Reeve, such a gentle human being. Impossibly attractive. And after the accident, truly a hero figure. Rest in peace.
Well said, Audrey :)
He slurps up fetuses. You call that a hero??
RuggedALAN What the fuck are you talking about?!
Audrey Vasquez agree 100% I just wish I wasn't so sensitive because I can see his movies or see his pictures and cry like a big baby.
Capt777harris He was turned into a Stephen Hawking robot on a chair with a bald head. Probably not really dead either, like Epstein. In fact they are probably together.
Such a wonderful person. Real person, good person, too many kind words describe this man! He will always be missed!
Found you after 10 years now' so much change then we never thought one day MAN OF STEEL would come and DCEU started'
I believe that Christopher Reeves was a good example of how humble superman would have been if he really did exist.......a true caring and warm hearted person
Indeed
The most handsome man of all the time
"You don't play Hamlet, Hamlet plays you"
Never really thought about acting in that sense. God, I miss him.
Amazing line from the idol ❤
Ridiculously handsome
AGREED ! this man was as beautiful in the inside as in the outside
Pure class. Movie stars of today can really take something away from this man.
Absolutely
He was so laid back and "modern" seeming.
that smile! Chris didn't lose it! He's the Superman in both movies and reality! Lord have mercy on him. R.I.P. Superman Christopher Reeve.
He was soo handsome my god
Kyra Dudley yes he was 🤤
And very articulate. He knew the answer to every question
Yeah man.
When I hear him talk, I'm speechless
Yap indeed
Probably one of the most decent people to have ever walked this earth. God bless your soul. Rest in peace Christopher Reeves
Wow. He was a good-looking man. RIP Chris
The best man ever to play Superman.
2022 and still. He will always be , no one is even close and will never be
💯💯💯💯💯💯 yesssssss
The only and one Superman... Handsome man, beautiful soul, brave until the end... how I miss you, Chris!
he looks ahead of his time
A strange thing to observe but I see what you mean. How is that even possible haha.
A beautiful man, a fantastic actor. He left too soon but made a huge impact on my life.
Fefinateky and he did on mine too. Watched him in this 80's as a kid and ge was my superhero.
4:55 He says Superman is "very easy to do" (as a performance).
He made it look easy. But you can see over the years that for most actors cast, it's not an easy job to get it right. This man understood the tone and executed it perfectly.
Because for him it was easy
because he has that Superman Real personality in real world
the coolest thing my 6 year old grandson saw a picture I have of Christopher Reeve as Superman and he said to me," you know what Nana? " I said," what?" He looked me dead in the face and said very serious, " That is the real Superman. " All I could do is cry. since I miss Christopher Reeve and all the lives he touched. This is coming from a 6 yr old who loves Transformers. Lol. I asked him who told you that. He said," nobody. He went on to say that cartoon Superman is a cartoon but he pointed to my shirt of Christopher Reeve as Superman and told me that is the real Superman ! Wow out of the mouth of babes!
Janice Linett Thats a great story. He was the best.
The real Superman. There's a reason why modern comic book artists still draw the character in Mr. Reeve's likeness.
Oh God I always cry when I see him in the wheelchair. He was a definition of boldness and courage. And you know what... he still is. Fly on Superman...
Definately and loved your words and totally agree!
Christopher Reeve was not just Superman outwardly but inwardly as well. A kind, humble, gracious gentleman who wanted to make the world a better place. He definitely achieved that and will never be forgotten.
After hearing what his children say about the total character of Christopher Reeve as a human being, as a man, as a father, makes me feel that choosing a path in life to be a good person is the best path of all.
In 2019 still , watching this melts my heart. He looks so handsome. What a Ken doll. So humble. So talented. RIP 🙏
Always found him to be super mature, super intelligent, super handsome, super talented, super nice...truly superman!
If only the interviewer would let Christopher finish his sentences. 🙂
I wish we could go back and warn him. He did so much advocacy/good.
I believe so firmly that Reeves was the definition in flesh of the real nice decent person
He is absolutely gorgeous
I really love this guy he is so fricking good looking his smile is simply the best , and he is the best superman ever , r.i.p Christopher
omg i miss him!
what a beautifull and handsome man
What class, jeez where did actors like this go? Where did interviews go so wrong. This video here is a perfect example of an amazing human being who also happened to be a fantastic actor being interviewed by a sharp person asking deep questions. Hollywood today could learn a few things from this.
Most charming and handsome man America has ever had.RIP !!
This just came on my timeline. Really great actor, hugely missed. Especially what he says from 6:00 on, Hollywood needs that ingenuity back.
Christopher Reeve, such a gentle human being. Impossibly attractive. And after the accident, truly a hero figure. Rest in peace.
He will Always be the eternal Superman
Super-man. Even as a human. Grounded, intelligent, kind, handsome. Legend. God.
Such a beautiful man, so humble and so down to earth. Just beautiful!
He was sooo handsome and sooo sweet!
This guy was such a legend. I like Henry Cavill as Superman, but he could learn a lot from Reeve, a real inspiration in so many ways -and he embodied what Superman is essentially, a pleasant and decent man.
Tom Welling and Brandon Routh are better than Cavill there I said it.
@@boobrancher everyone is entitled to their opinion....no matter how wrong it is.🤣🤣
What are you talking about, Henry Cavill is also a decent guy, it's just the times we live in, where a bunch of toxic Feminists accuse him (or Reeve, if he was still alive) of being a woman hater, for not having sex with them.
Reeve will always be Superman RIP CR
Christopher Reeve made Superman great. I wish he could do it again.
Gosh he was such a handsome man and well spoken man
A person FULL OF LIFE.
What a loss.
RIP also his wife Dana.
Screw Henry Cavill, Christopher is the real Superman!
My God! How good looking can a man be!
I'm watching ... and listening ... but so hard not to just watch and be memorized. Just something so likable about him and of course, dangerously handsome!
2021 and remembering this beautiful being. His portrayal of Superman was such an inspiration to me (many)as a child. My heart was touched by your presence and representation of kindness, humor, natural charm, and dedication. Thank you for your smile, and straight talk. Thank you for having been here.🙏🏽
Well said
Amen to all you've said and totally agree and I too loved watching Superman as a little girl in the 80's and he was my superhero then and still is even after his death and now in 2023. He was so lovely in real life and just seen a RUclips clip of Chris at tge Oscars after his accident and to me he was still my Super Man!He was kind, humble, and so lovely and it's so sad how his life ended but I thank God I lived to watch Superman and the sequels and no modern ones come close to Christopher Reeve. He was the entire embodiment of a true hero to me. His stage presence, in his role, charisma, gentlemanly, quirky, so sweet and cute as Clark and so lovable. He lit up the screen and even aged 45 years old in 2023 I still love them epic scenes and especially when ge saves Lois Lane the very first time. Yep still think it was epic when Lous'ss helicopter on the daily planet rood and that stunning John Williams' piece called Superman as Superman flies up to save Lois and the the crown on the ground all cheer and even louder when Superman even saves the helicopter oh boy I have watched the scenes over the year's many times but oh boy I still get goosebumps all these many years later. Being an 80's kid really was the best!It's sad Louis Lane aka Margot Kidder passed, a few year's ago. My first ever Lois Lane from Superman starring Christopher Reeve, and Margot Kidder. I'd always wondered why we'd not seen much of her in Superman 3 and 4 and learn't she'd been battlng a serious condition, I'd so have loved to have met her. She kit up the screen and she too, I feel can never be replaced. They sure don't make movies like they used to. Back then we didn't have CGI, because it was much more realistic. CGI ruins it. In Hulk it looks really computer generated when hulks jumping. In all the Superman and the Helen Slater stint and movie as Supergirl, that too was epic on screen visually because CGI wasn't used. Too much CGI makes films look slightly like computer games and less real. As for these film's it would be amazing to give them more recognition. Does anybody know if Christopher Reeve is on the Hollywood Walk If Fame?
Christopher and Margot I love them both. I will always miss them and keep them deep in my heart
When he smiles! Christ! Such a good smile! Always be Superman!
I've been marathoning most of his vids on YT and mygod, he's gorgeous.
The most beautiful smile of the world ……💖
This was very difficult for me to watch. :(
You are missed Christopher Reeve
He was so handsome!!!
Robin Zander he is!
HE IS ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS PERSON WHO EVER LIVE,.. I love him and will always remember him as SUPERMAN
dang he even had a perfect view of superman
Christopher reeves is the REAL SUPERMAN!! i am glad that Henry Cavill is following his footsteps!
The★Good★Gamer X it's Christopher Reeve. :0
RoikaLoL After the Superman we got in JL, they are getting there with the Superman we deserve.
Brandon routh is a closest to c.reeve
Cristopher revee el galán de
galanes 👔🎩😌😍😘
Except he didn't
RIP to the best actor ever 😭😭😭
Big Dickens shut ur bitch ass up don't talk about dead guy like that
Alghoog 507 omg I'm soooooo sorry😂
Big Dickens or maybe because he was a talented actor?
Christopher Reeve was a larger than life persona :) to me he was and he will ALWAYS remain SUPERMAN who inspires strength, love and faith in HOPE. There will never be another human being like you Mr Reeve you gentle soul #RIP
Happy Birthday Christopher❤
Love this man to Krypton and back😊
You can see in interviews, particularly this one, the qualities and intangibles that made him such a perfect Superman: he was genuine, decent, and incredibly sincere, but he also had a natural intensity underneath the kindness. You get the sense something powerful is fuelling him, pushing him forward.
Routh portrayed Superman respectfully to Chris reeve whilst giving it his own touch at the same time, all the best to him.
The incredible thing with all of the superman castings from chris to tom to Brandon to henry is that they as actor are all so humble and modest, exactly like Clark, someone like . . Say . . Robert Downey jr, is a bolder person, awesome but outspoken. It's also why chris Evans makes a good Cpt America, because of his genuine humble nature
Winning smile, still the best Superman that ever was :)
So this is a promotional interview for Superman IV. So this was around 86-87. He seemed like such an easygoing guy. A humble guy too. If I looked like him, I tell you, I'd probably be in love with myself lol. No joke. He's 6'4, chiseled features, and I'm just comfortable enough with my sexuality to admit these things freely about this guy. Most women I know, even some lady members of my family, would go for this guy hands down. I just am grateful he was such a humble guy who made Superman such an iconic role. Though Part IV sucked, he made it watchable. Bless him.
Steve Bartman Now I don't fight children. Sorry.
Loser troll. You're too stupid to spell your insult correctly. Get off your moms computer.
+Jason Grooming make sure you address it to that Steve shithead. Took a minute to realize you were talking to him and not MrNostalgiaX
+MrNostalgiaX This is a promotional video for Superman the movie.
***** Reeves was a douche
Amazing man and amazing soul. I think Henry Cavill disliked this 58 times out of jealousy ;-)
My Dad and Brother watched all of the superman when I was a little girl, a lot of times.
Even as a little girl I was so in love with him as I still am.
True inspiration xxxxxx
Best Superman ever! a great human being!
hi snoopy
There will only ever be one Superman, and he is Christopher Reeve x
Brandon Routh is actually A Christopher Reeves clone. Every move he made is just like the original Christopher Reeves.
Wow. Extremely handsome and thoughtful. I admire his honesty, particularly about Superman III. I don't think actors now would dare be so honest.
I also rather like what he said about the part playing the actor. I think the same could be true of many arts other than acting, such as music or dance. I'll be thinking about that when I next play a song.
Dude! such an awesome video! he was the best superman that ever was! Did you know they're drawing superman in the comics to look like him now?
So Kool! RIP Chris! You taught me how to be a man!
Oh dear, my gonads, I'm not sure you should say such things about people who are no longer with us, but damn was he hot
Why shouldn't you say such things? It's just the simple truth. In fact, it's better than not saying it and allowing people like this to be forgotten.
0: 12 , I know why Christopher Reeve did that ! ..And because my little brother used to do the same thing, which I couldn't understand why back then, until I underwent a nasal surgery myself and ended up doing the same thing and much much worst for many years to come, and then I finally understand it was because of an air bag pocket forming near the inside region of the nasal structure coRnets responsible for it. And because my little brother had a surgery to remove some kind of airbag forming inside of his troth at a very young age,
this must has caused it to move upward near the region of the eyes and that alone would cause that tick.(and probably Chris reeve had the same type of surgery at some point of his life)
As for me it was because of a doctor by the name of Gilles Beauregard who must have done his own little experimentation on me, by displacing some soft skins inside of my right nostril and caused my Lacrimal pouch and inside eyelids to completely sink down out of its place and caused me and unbearable discomfort for decades and up to this day
and his reason must have been to cover up a few mistake done by some of those incompetent surgeons that we have here in Montreal Quebec. And this unbearable discomfort had cause me to stop lots activities ever since. things I was very very good at, such as becoming a professional bodybuilder which I started training for since I was barely 13 and also I used to be a very gifted artist in many many other domains.
all of this was ruined because of doctors such as Gilles Beaureagard, Jeffrey Khoury and a few others including their president back then which I can't remember the name but was involved in the death of Micheline Charest, one of the co-founder of Cinar Animation.
Excellent analysis.
May God bless you, Mr. Reeve, and may you rest in peace.
Richard Pryor - problems! 😂😂
What tragic life this man had. I remember seeing Superman, back in '80. As a boy you are jealous of all his power, height, etc. Later you start to realize how hard the life of the human behind this Superman has been. Thanks for this vid.
Good looking guy
THE LEGEND, THE ICON, THE BEST, THE SUPER AMERICAN ACTOR THAT EVER LIVED!!! THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!XD
Arguably the greatest performance in the history of superman films particularly parts 1 and 2 . It deserved an Oscar. His gentle touch, his simple demeanor, and his way as an actor to make you really believe he's here to save the day like the scene with the helicopter saving Lois lane. Then she says "who are you" he replies" a friend " just brilliant that part made you believe thier is a superman out thier.
I never knew he was so insightful. Very impressed.
I can see why Brandon Routh was chosen for Superman Returns. only thing was that it wasn't a good movie
boredstudent yes it was
Better than any of the Snyder shit tho
On the (extremely) off chance that Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill are scouring RUclips in their Quarantine Boredom: TAKE NOTES!!
