@@tonimarx6405 I'M JUST ONE MAN GIMME A BREAK. I'M DOIN MY BEST. lol. Not many folks understood what Oliver was gettin at. He never said the kitchen is where women belong but that women are nurturers and that meals made with the love a devoted woman are the best. That sort of shit. He always made that distinction. He always said that women were happy providing for the home and if they don't want to do that that is fine, just not his type. LOL. Oliver was a legend. I bet I could find a dive bar in my town in Florida that someone will have an Oliver Reed story visiting that place.
The world has got plenty of the worst parts of Oliver Reed. None of us are perfect, most of us excel in something. I admired Oliver Reed for his charisma and acting ability and despite his problematic views. Everyone deserves to be treated in the manner they wish to be treated and at the very least with respect.
Alcohol or no alcohol, Oliver Reed was a very talented actor and one of life's genuine characters. Such a talented, misunderstood man Oliver Reed was. A true legend of cinema.
@@termsofusepolice read his biography, What Fresh Lunacy Is This? Oliver didn't always do right, nor do we all always, but he did a lot of good that didn't get noticed a lot. When sober, Ollie was more sensitive, but when drunk, he could be erratic. My friend's Dad met Mr Reed at a party in Surbiton around 1980 and he said Ollie was completely sober and a very nice man. Sure, Ollie had his cons, but he also had his pros.
I knew Oliver for a few years and the lovely Josephine. Great people. Had private chats with him and also fun times when he came back from the pub. He was a character for sure. Made me laugh. Miss him.
Wow. The stories you could tell. There was something about him that I found absolutely magnetic since I was a girl. It never changed even when he played in Gladiator.
I don't think people misunderstood him, he made himself perfectly clear. I don't think a lot of people agreed with him about women. I think it's sad they seemed to want him on their shows drunk so it would get attention for them.
Totally right. These were real men with real personalities who were anything but politically correct. He lived back when you say whatever and people still had a sense of humor and the snowflakes weren’t offended at everything people said. Compared to wimps like Tom Cruise and the plethora of today’s actors he was a genuine character and very masculine. Which there were more around like him.
He was an obnoxious, ill-mannered, opinionated, arrogant, chauvinistic, usually very drunk, articulate, intelligent, incredibly well-spoken, good looking man, who was compelling viewing, on film or on talk shows. When sober, he was so easy on the ear and the eye, with some great stories to tell. When drunk, he was at the very least entertaining. Who would not like to have been Oliver Reed?
He was as nutty as a fruitcake but charismatic. According to Ken Russell he had two acting styles only Moody 1 and Moody 2. But he was mesmerising to watch
He was a fabulous actor & could do menace like no one else. Sober he was very intelligent & totally fascinating. He was also great at comedy (The Three Musketeers with Raquel Welch). He had a miserable childhood. He was dyslexic so struggled at school but was great at sport. His v intelligent journalist father would openly sneer at his sporting achievements. When his mother left, she gained a 'reputation' : for hosting boozy parties for off duty airmen where Oliver was made to serve the drinks. No wonder he had booze issues.
Hear hear, I knew a chap who was in his circle of friends and was also his gardener. They eventually fell out but Martins' memories of the man were of fun and frolics
I agree with some of what you wrote and enjoyed him as an actor and on talk shows. I wouldn't want the alcoholism or the underlying issues that had that caused it. He didn't seem to have had a very good childhood which is the catalyst for so many adult issues. I'm sorry he died so young but heavy drinking will do that to you.
I need an Ollie Reed reconnect video binge regularly to remind me of much better times pleased to of been part of that moment in time. RIP Oliver Reed.
Not truly missed at all …. Who is missing him? Not me, and generations now have no clue who he is. Maybe your missing a blast from your past - but I can assure you he is not on many peoples missed list
He was a true great, despite tantrums, alcohol, and hellraising, still one hell of an actor, with an absolutely incredible presence. These days, there`s hardly any actors left like Oliver Reed.....he was simply........." One Of A Kind ".
Oliver liked to drink. But he was such an icon. A mans man. Superb actor. Love all his movies. British Brando. A Sean Connery. And,…he was correct in everything he said. He had the guts to speak the truth.
to be honest i think he thought the intelligence services was a criminal totalitarian gang and so would of refused that role because it glorified anti freedom criminals
Hall of Fame actor !! just 61 when he died of a massive heart attack in a PUB !! drinking HARD for a few hours before , sad Mr. Reed was GREAT !! { I am now 56 and remember him well as a kid }
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination."
So much of Oliver was a performance, he played up to what wound people up, what shocked, what they wanted to hear, what go a reaction. I dont think unless you really new him personally, you could say what he was actually like. Maybe not even then. He was great.
@@thelonewolf2476 shut it you clown you think that would have stopped him? and do you actualy believe everybody gives a toss about that crap? i always speak my mind that will never change this sexist crap is alod of bollox pardon my french but only insecure women respect it stronger women see it for what it is utter noncence
I've posted before that I (and dozens of others) was a film extra on Tommy back in my art school days and when OR was on set, he was shy, diffident and charming. Sweet-natured and very much better-looking in real life, he had nothing starry about him. All this nonsense is Dutch courage and being egged on by the media to misbehave. His illness let him down, not his personality or character.
Never met him, but that’s the impression I’ve always gained. Could lapse into the controversial part talk shows had scripted for him, but that was clearly just playing a part
Oh yeah the bit with Carson, that lady was interrupting him on almost every sentence after having commandeered 12-15 minutes for herself prior to his appearance.
@Warped Sounds there are over 330 million of us. We have 50 states plus global territories. Our country is as big as the whole EU. With that said, there are overweight Americans bit there are just as many in shape. We vary widely across all spectrums.

I think from what I read Oliver Reed was a lot like his father who I think might have also been an alcoholic and difficult to deal with. His mom seems to have been a partier type of person so he came from a somewhat dysfunctional family and it obviously affected him. You show me someone with an addiction and I will show you someone who had childhood difficulties. He was a good actor and it's always sad when somebody dies before their time.

No, women are not just sex objects but they have brains the same as men do. I adore Reed but I wish that he had been a feminist and not a male chauvinist! It would have been so refreshing !!
A fine actor, and was always honest to himself,...he ,never tried to be something he wasn't,...yes he had his faults, .who hasn't?,...and many of them,..got into to many scrapes and drank far to much.....but he was definitely one of life's great characters,..and there's no denying he was bloody good at his job...
Hold on…..if he was working all day for her livelihood, then his wife needs to do her bit that’s not chauvinism that’s life If she was working and he was home, he should be expected to keep the home etc. That’s equality
Nope the man has to work now, come home to a lazy overweight wife glued to couch and TV , he has to then clean house prepare food, bath kids and put to bed , clear up after but not make to much noise incase he disturbs his obese spouse to whom he has to surrender everything if an escape from her through divorce is Persued…I call it toxic feminism
The world needs Oliver Reed right now.
The most heartbreaking thing is that there are still many men out there like Oliver but they're all getting attacked and cancelled.
Whatever for?

Geniuses know sooner or later high living will put you down early in life. So now that he's been dead for 23 years, he must be understood by all.
The man predicted how he would die for Christ sake
He was a legend in a great time, glad I was around to remember him.

Amen.
Legend. Theres not many left ❤️
Top bloke and an absolute legend 😁
Steve I wish I'd of been given the chance to of met and chat with Oliver.
Always liked him ,is character second to none inI my view R.I.P.
I’ve seen one movie in which he played a part Oliver Reed was excellent . He was such a character and a good actor 👌🏻
Absolutely fantastic
Brilliant just Brilliant 👏 Bravo my mate.
He was an absolute laugh. His spontaneous wit amazing. A real loss to the acting community
Always loved Mr Reads performance in the Ken Russel film "the devil's". Arguably his best. Its on RUclips and I can't recommend it enough.
Would have loved to have had a drink with him . Rip Ollie you were the greatest xxx
He didn't give a fuck! Great actor and a real character and was definitely from another age!
This is a breath of fresh air in this woke society we have now
Very talented, charismatic and so handsome. Died at 66, looking very aged. Such a shame due to alcohol.
He died aged 61.
What a character They don't make him like this anymore.
Love him!
Oliver is a remarkable fellow.
The best!
Yes indeed .what a cool guy.great actor.
You can't argue with sincerity
As a Man I could not agree more with the man GOD BLESS HIM XXxxxxxx
a true legend
Those eyes man, those eyes. He was a first class troll before the word became commonplace
Oh yes the eyes.
Often look at his interviews. Brilliant
We desperately need this persona back.
@Eddie Coyle you're right and society has made sure it happened and it's kept that way.
A proud boy was Oliver.
Oliver liked to drink. But he was such an icon. A mans man. Superb actor. Love all his movies. British Brando. A Sean Connery. And,…he was correct in everything he said. He had the guts to speak the truth.
I loved that bit sitting next to germaine dreery rolling her eyes. LOL brilliant.
God bless you Ollie
He would have made a good James Bond.
I'm a huge fan of Reed, but I see him more suited to a Bond villian. Something like what Robert Shaw did in From Russia with Love. Perfect.
to be honest i think he thought the intelligence services was a criminal totalitarian gang and so would of refused that role because it glorified anti freedom criminals
He would've made an excellent Bond baddie
Nowadays Bond will probably be a black woman
He could have been Bond or Bond villain because that’s how good an actor he was. Absolutely marvellous!
A real eccentric....I loved him ...so entertaining
Hall of Fame actor !! just 61 when he died of a massive heart attack in a PUB !! drinking HARD for a few hours before , sad Mr. Reed was GREAT !! { I am now 56 and remember him well as a kid }
