I met Steve when i was 13yrs old at Warner Bros. He came and introduced himself too me when i was looking at his Porsche. We talked about cars and motorcycles. He was working on Bullitt. He was very nice too me. I cherish that moment, it was the summer of 67'.
@@guyfawkesuThe1 Wrong Steve McQueen he's talking about the Black British film director, who I got confused about when some one told me a recent film was directed by Steve McQueen and I said he must have rose from the grave and was corrected.
He had a troubled youth with a violent father. Acting out he stole hubcaps along with other issues. He was sent to a special farm for wayward boys near Chino California. The farm was founded in 1907 by a juvenile court judge and some Pasadena citizens and is legally a township with resident elected officials. It's purpose is to give troubled boys a wholesome chance to create new lives. McQueen was sent there to create a life for himself. He wasn't ready and eventually ran away. Years later he tried to aid the new crop of residents by bussing the entire resident body to the Hollywood premier of his movie THE REIVERS. After a few more efforts the residents expressed concern that they were being used by McQueen. I worked there for several years as a young man. On one Sunday an older man visited the farm to look around. I spoke with him for some time. He had completed his civilian and military careers and wanted to visit the farm which had given him a needed chance. His memory was sharp and among his details was a brief mention of a young and bearded Catholic priest who had lived there for six months and then left for the Midwest somewhere. Amazed I asked him if the priest's name was Flannigan. He thought a moment and confirmed the name. He finished his tour and left. Flannigan moved to Omaha and replicated in detail the Boys Republic experience and renamed it BOYS TOWN. It became famous due to two Hollywood movies. Both Boys Republic and it's imitation Boys Town are doing well.

@brendabrown7130. Steve was only 50 when he died. He was still at the top of his craft. Clint Eastwood was born the same year as Steve In the 1960’s and 70’s , action stars like Steve, Clint, Charles Bronson, were looked down upon by the critics. But, you know, their fan base didn’t care. That’s why these guys became multi-millionaires.
And no one ever gets that someone criticising their coworker in a public interview is the opposite of a demonstration of strength of character. Praising Garner or anyone else while describing him publicly putting down his coworker clearly demonstrates that the writer doesn’t even know what decency and strength of character means.
Don't you realise that Steve Mcqueen the actor and the director who directed Fassbender are NOT the same person! Steve Mcqueen the actor died in 1980 !
I was born in 1980 and grew up watching the movies of Steve. He was a truly bad ass actor and natural born racer. I guess he never used stunter when performing car chases or motorcycle riding.
I have been waiting for another cool actor since 1980, but nobody beats Steve so far. imagine w/o Steve in the great escape. that wouldn't be as great as w/ him in the movie. such a character.
Also apart from Michael Fassbender, Steve McQueen also had a contentious artistic falling out with Arthur Mullard during the filming of the 1973 blockbuster film, Holiday on the Buses. According to a cast witness Stan (Reginald Varney).Tempers become so frayed between McQueen and Mullard, that If it weren't for the calming intervention of Blakey (Seven Lewis) the whole production would have been shut down.
McQueen was the epitome of COOL. He overshadowed James Dean's level of COOL. I liked Yul Brynner but he was a tyrant on the set, and actors often complained about him trying to be a director, instead of another actor. He simply didn't like competition; he was envious of several male stars that were popular. McQueen was as macho as Gilbert Roland.
Nice relpy, but how do you know these personal things about Yul? Like me, but you likely have much more experience as a movie fan/critic, we take our opinions of acting talent, serious. ;) Hackman is the greatest male actor. What do you think?
Who cares I think it added more affection during filming in the magnificent 7 there were 7 guys all with ego,s Bronson and McQueen became bigger stars than Coburn or brynner its still a classic movie but brynner told the producer he wouldn't make the return of the 7 if McQueen was in it its a shame instead robert fuller took the role of vin 😢😢
Newman was the cool "pretty boy,"with no onscreen surprizes. McQueen was a much better, natural actor and his screen persona was normally protrayed as being dangerous, unpredictable, but a natural, no bs male.
Mate Paul's presence is still being felt today with his charity. Don't put down a legendary actor and man, one who would put you to shame in every facet of being a decent talented human being. I wouldn't believe anything on RUclips, but it's where the brainless get their knowledge. Silly little man keep your views to yourself if you dont have anything interesting or intelligent to offer 🤪
I liked Steve McQueen from the Great Escape jumping the barrier with his motorcycle at the end. However, McQueen didn’t jump the barrier was a stunt double. This was the greatest editing which McQueen looked to be the one doing it. I believe the editing of this was given an oscar.
I think that the Steve McQueen who directed Michael Fassbender was the black Steve McQueen from England. I was wondering how Michael Fassbender could have acted for the original Steve McQueen as I am sure that he died when I was just starting high school. Fassbender would have been too young to be on Grange Hill back then, never mind act in a film directed by the original Steve McQueen
I have heard that for years that Robert Mitchum didn't like how Charles Bronson treated the people that were under him and also how he would bully people and let him know how he felt and Charles Bronson backed down
@@jameshuseby6290 This reminded me - I once heard some comedian (can't remember who) had a joke about Charles Bronson being scary - him saying : "I'm gonna hurt you with my face !' haha
They never mentioned that Paul Newman and Steve McQueen were in the movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me." 1956. McQueen played a small part as a teenage hoodlum. Pulling a knife and wrapping his jacket around his other hand for protection from getting cut.
Steve could be a bit abrasive, and demanding, but he did project the epitome of cool. Steve McQueen didn't die where it's said he did, I won't say where, because they didn't want it turned into a shrine.
For Steve McQueen to ask for more words in a script, is not unusual in any way. Some actors request more words to flesh out their characters, to give them added layers of dimension, hardly unexpected in the movie making business. He's not the first or last.
Paul Newman, an actor always tried to be better. Newman had newspaper article where he apologized for his acting in the Silver Chalice. Paul Newman was the number one choice in Ben Hur which he turned down.
Bill personally I think though Mcqueen was charismatic he was definitely overrated as an actor looks to me he just was himself in films ,not at all versatile.
i seen Garner many times at the Indianapolis 500, i also meet Newman there when he sponserd Mario Andretti, Newman was a good Trans Am driver saw him race at Lime Rock Park Conn!
I ran into Steve McQueen once at his house in Malibu but I didn't realize it until months later. I was location scouting for a department store wanting to photograph a catalog at a house on the beach. I was driving all over Malibu and found myself on a quiet empty seaside street and saw two guys working on motorcycle in the driveway next to the road. The older guy had a bushy beard and the other guy was younger. I asked them if they knew any houses around there we could use for a location. The older guy said "nope" and I drove on eventually found a beach house thru a realtor. Months later i saw a picture of Steve McQueen with a beard in a magazine and realized that was the guy who had said "nope"..
I never knew Steve McQueen was prima donna. I loved Steve from the first time I saw him in his TV Wanted Dead or Alive break through in the entertainment business.
Evidently he wasnt intimidated by Dustin Hoffman. He probably learned early on that if he didnt pushback he wouldnt have much of a career as a Movie Star. He was both Feared and Loved. Fear and Love in the real world are mutually exclusive.
They were both short men, so Steve wasn't intimidated; he used to insist on having a box to stand on when in scenes with taller actors, such as Newman. His strong arming can be attributed to 'short man syndrome.' He felt he would be diminished by bigger actors. Also the fact he grew up in a boys orphanage may have had given him the feeling of an inferiority complex.
@@onarockm1024 He mustve been really short cuz Newman wasnt that tall. I bumped into Newman on the way out of my job on Madison av in the mid 80s and i was bigger than Newman. Maybe the same height but i was thicker at 180. He was Cool about it. Shrugged it off and that was it. I recognized him and kept it movin. He was friends with the owner of the company i worked for. Agency handled all his Newmans Own advertising.
@onarockm1024 Steve McQueen was not intimidated by anyone in Hollywood. Alan Ladd also stood on boxes during filming. Richard Widmark was a man of short stature as well. Steve spending part of his youth in a orphanage probably toughened him up considerably to the point of not being afraid of softer people in the acting world. Steve McQueen was a self made man and you could see some of it on film.
Steve McQueen the actor died in 1980, so it not possible that he could direct The Hunger film with Michael Fassbender. I think that you are referring to Steve McQueen, the British filmmaker
He never died, he got tired of acting and conjured a myth so nobody would bug him. He's living in my basement, great guy, always buys the beer and lets me drive his Ferrari.
I'm going to cann B.S. here. Yes they were both very popular actors, but for the most part it was nothing more than an avenue to pursue their true love. they were extremely accomplished Drivers on the very edge in Motor Sports and greatly admired each other and were very close personally. These two men had a natural talent in the motor sport was unreal! Their skills were legendary, As was another actor, James Garner. KnifeMaker
AI at work mistaking Steve McQueen "The King of Cool" and Steve McQueen the Director of Michael Fassbender near the end for the same person. Hysterically awkward and wrong. Ugh.
James Garner is one of the most natural, and naturally effortless, actors I have ever seen. Steve McQueen had great stage presence, and genuine cowhand skills, but he was both ambitious and insecure. He felt threatened by charismatic leading men like Yul Brynner and James Garner, and always sought to upstage them. In "The Great Escape", John Sturges finally mollified McQueen about the perceived threat of Garner by asserting that in being solo in many of his scenes, McQueen would own the audience - and own the movie.
Whatever I heard about Mcqueen shows that he was an egomaniac who could not stand anyone who was equal or superior to him, in competitions or acting and probably even in his private life.
paul newman = never able to stand anywhere near steve mcqueen = newman - was more a shirt and tie = mcqueen was levis and a Tee shirt = STEVE MCQUEEN ALWAYS !
Uh....... He walked like he was trying to keep a greased egg from popping out of his keester.... Yul Brenner was a very self absorbed strange bird indeed.... and the movies I WOULD sit down to watch that he was in just never did impress me at all.... Never did GET the whooptee doo over him and his acting.... To ME, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Sean Connery, I could keep going, but there were MANY actors that were better in my book...... The best thing he did as far as I am concerned was the movie West World.... and he didn't really have to act in THAT either.....
When he was young he was actually a circus acrobat in Paris. He had an accident and broke his back but still had the strength of will to walk again. That's why his gait was unusual.
@@1956tojo some Yul Brynner trivia :: When I was in Paris in the 70s, I saw in the Louvre, a display of photos of him as a young = nude = model . . What people did / do sometimes when they are broke & desperate
None of these details matter in any shape or form today. The commanding images portraying the enigmatic actors of these times are testament to what we believed as children, and what watchers can see today in what was real time acting. It was important for them to fill their roles with believable dynamism. No remarks can hurt them now, they live on in celluloid.
Steve will always remain one of my favorite actors. A l like like of people don't realize how misunderstood that he was considering what he endured from his parents while growing up. Still like Wanted dead or Alive tv show
Cant believe you dont even show the infamous scene of him and Yul on the stagecoach with Steve shaking the boxes of shotgun shells, playing with his cowboy hat, ect....
About two thirds of the way through this video, the focus shifts to African-American director Steve McQueen. The director and the actor never crossed paths. The actor was long dead before the director came along.
Steve McQueen had an onset persona that some considered volatile or dangerous, but it was simply Steve's acting method for the parts or characters that required that element. 😮 Truly a man of action in every sense of the word. 😮
Top exploration: Really? The ACTOR Steve McQueen died in 1980. Sir Steve Rodney McQueen CBE (born 9 October 1969) is a British film director, film producer, screenwriter, and video artist. The director was 10 years old when the actor died in 1980. Who is behind this pathetic s..t? Where have you been?
Paul Newman was NOT the friendliest person in the world. Yrs ago I used to work parking cars in a prominent Chicago restaurant. A gentleman by the name of Carl Haas, who was a friend of Newmans and business partner in a race car team. One night, Newman came in with Haas. I was talking to the limo driver and he mentioned that he HATES when Newman comes to town because he has to pick him up from the airport and drive him everywhere. He has STRICT instructions NOT to speak, or even look at him. He was very demanding and he never tipped him a dime!
Newman and Haas tried many times to win the Indianapolis 500 with Mario Andretti as the driver but failed every time, they did win the Indy Car Championship i think a couple of times, Mario always had very bad luck at Indy!
Hilarious how you don’t know Steven McQueen the actor and Steve McQueen the director are two separate people. Did a lot of research on this , did ya ???😂😂
And one big difference, I do believe gives you a better understanding of McQueen: He was had quite a physical presence, meaning, he was tough as he appeared, with plenty of physical training in most areas that presented to be a challenge. And he loved to be fight-ready. ;) * I would have loved to see Yul/Sterve, go at it. Lol
The on the set rewrite for The Great Escape was a success, and I give him credit for that. However I am glad he did not change the script for The Magnificent Seven, or it could have become something other than a Seven Samurai western.
As AI generated narrations go, this was pretty good at first, until it hit the usual name pronunciation problems. Then we have the problem of some of the nonsensical misinformation provided. It then becomes apparent that the whole video is probably a Chatgpt production. I doubt if any humans were involved. RUclips needs to weed out this kind of crap.
......It's so easy looking back in hindsight to single Steve McQueen out from the rest of these Hollywood Icons as somehow being egotistical or self-centered, but the truth is that none of these actors were good little angels. Unfortunately, actors upstaging one another has been a long-standing tradition in the performing arts. Steve McQueen had a very difficult childhood. He was basically neglected and arguably abandoned by his mother and became a troubled teenager who grew up in an orphanage. ......when he eventually decided to embark in the acting profession, he knew that he wasn't going to get anywhere by standing back and becoming a wall flower. Hollwood is full of hungry and aggressive actors, and he knew that if he were to succeed, that he would have to fully assert himself and fight for any and all opportunities he could gain. His genuine struggle to fight and succeed in Hollywood is really not all that different than most of his contemporaries.
In fact Paul Newman and James Garner were upstanding gentlemen loved by all in the industry. They knew their own worth and were married to their wives for almost 50 yrs Garner 50+ I believe. He was dirt poor and had a terrible home life, but he did learn discipline when he served in the military and received commendations. So you know not of what you speak. Should have to tear people down by suggesting they are as questionable as the person you are trying to defend.
Unfortunately, like so many people today, you completely mischaracterize everything. No one here is suggesting that these aren't all honorable men, including Steve McQueen himself. Just because someone is married for 50 years doesn't automatically make them a saint, nor do the indiscretions on the part of Steve McQueen or anyone else for that matter automatically make him a terrible person. As a film buff, I have always admired all of these actors. My remarks were only designed to add some context to the presentation, which seemed a little tilted to one side in my view. You should really consider trying your hand at politics - those folks like to mischaracterize things too.
As most have acknowledged, the presentation powered by AI it seems is highly questionable regarding facts! However, based on that information you decided you needed to add context as you say - perhaps you needs to consider that it was not well presented and while doing that, you in effect dissed the other actors even when as a movie buff you should know that what is being presented, for the most part is wrong! Don’t appreciate your patronizing and arrogant opening sentence either!
I'm glad that you at least agree with me that the presentation was less than accurate and made some pretty glaring biographical mistakes. Moreover, I believe they were a little too heavy handed in vilifying Steve McQueen. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he was quite often a very difficult person to work with, and sometimes pushy too - it's just that I don't believe he was all that different in that regard from many of his contemporaries. Hollywood has a dark list of some very difficult and jaded people, but I don't believe that he would rate anywhere near the top half of that list - despite what the video might suggest. Consequently, if you look at my original post, I refer to the actors from this era as Hollywood Icons, which is clearly a term of endearment on my part. I admire all of these men, they're my childhood hero's. Just because I suggest that they're not all good little angels is not the same thing as disrespecting them - everyone has their own little foibles and misgivings from time to time, especially in a highly competitive world such as acting. No offense, but I believe that you have willfully mischaracterized my words and overstated their meaning. Most people who are discerning enough and introspective enough can understand the difference - I'm sorry that you're having such a difficult time with it all.
Another narrator who is too lazy to proofread his script. Constant mispronunciations...so many that it becomes comical if not shameful. Comic example: Magnificent Seven; Steve McQueen doing things to distract the audience from Yul Brynner, "while basically manure" ...the narrator meant to say "minor", but to say MANURE is most likely and comically how Yul Brynner felt.
@@RDAUGIRD I doubt it is a computer voice based on the fact that this voice pronounces Yul Brynner several different ways. I don't think a computer would do that. More likely, a computer would pronounce any word or name the same way each time, correct or incorrect.
McQueen tried to get up there as big a serious star as Yul IMO. I say that because Steve later produced and starred in an Ibsen play onscreen I think it was. Yul Brynner had starred in The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoievski's masterpiece so I guess Steve wanted a great character part too.
I think this was a video created by AI. I'll betcha it asked for pieces on Steve McQueen friction with co-stars, which is how it picked up on director Steve McQueen and proceeded to cut it into the piece. I think it also means nobody bothered to check this otherwise they would have caught it.
McQueen was kewel as can be at John Phillips' home the night the Mamas & Papas sold out the Hollywood Bowl. Garner, on the other hand, was a problem for the limousine drivers. He handed the driver who replaced me, when I took over Teen Auto Club, a gun. Mr. Garner asserted that he was often accosted in public. McQueen was a down-to-earth guy. One man's opinion.
This A.I Announcer --Sucks! Too bad, I had a friend that not only knew McQueen, but said that Steve treated our friend Steve [Who was in the Movie The SAND PEBBLE w/ McQueen] like a brother. Our friend Steve knew him up till the time that McQueen passed away. LEGENDARY FRIEND he called him.
I was not aware of his personal background making films. I guess I should not have watched this feature because I realized his calmness in his films before. I have seen a lot of his work. I found this feature by chance and was curious. I will try not to remember this history when I will continue watching his work. in the future.
REALLY REALLY dislike these SUPER annoying robot commentators!!!!!!!!!! But Steve McQueen is still being talked about today because he was "The King Of Cool".
I was a fan of Steve McQueen until I recently read a biography of him. Unfortunately the guy was a nightmare. Short tempered, aggressive and violent. Paranoid in that he believed everyone was out to rip him off. Dealing with him was like dealing with a child holding a hand grenade. He hated Hollywood and everyone in it. Still. The films he left us were great.

Alas, the computer can't tell the difference.
In the old days, actors with names identical to someone who came before them had the decency to alter their name slightly, i.e. Michael J. Fox.
So what, who cares. It's only RUclips
Don't argue with a robot.
lol@@michaelplunkett8059
Total different type of actor Steve is still top shelf actor RIP the you Steve McQueen 2023
I was born in 1980 and grew up watching the movies of Steve. He was a truly bad ass actor and natural born racer. I guess he never used stunter when performing car chases or motorcycle riding.
I have been waiting for another cool actor since 1980, but nobody beats Steve so far. imagine w/o Steve in the great escape. that wouldn't be as great as w/ him in the movie. such a character.
Actor were more charismatic in the 50s to the 70s.
Is it really that hard to find a real live human to narrate these vids? It sure would improve the quality of them.
Also apart from Michael Fassbender, Steve McQueen also had a contentious artistic falling out with Arthur Mullard during the filming of the 1973 blockbuster film, Holiday on the Buses. According to a cast witness Stan (Reginald Varney).Tempers become so frayed between McQueen and Mullard, that If it weren't for the calming intervention of Blakey (Seven Lewis) the whole production would have been shut down.
@SuperSeriouSam Horseshit.
Well done Sam, such superior mocking sarcasm I have not read in years! TE is such a boring channel!!!
I also heard that S McQueen comment that you were a complete w****r.
LOL
Steve was one of my favorite actors, I don't really care what his fellow actors thought of him, just sayin'.
McQueen was the epitome of COOL. He overshadowed James Dean's level of COOL. I liked Yul Brynner but he was a tyrant on the set, and actors often complained about him trying to be a director, instead of another actor. He simply didn't like competition; he was envious of several male stars that were popular. McQueen was as macho as Gilbert Roland.
Nice relpy, but how do you know these personal things about Yul? Like me, but you likely have much more experience as a movie fan/critic, we take our opinions of acting talent, serious. ;)
Hackman is the greatest male actor. What do you think?
@@thomaswilson7538 Richard Burton
Hackman was great in “Mississippi Burning”. (in my opinion.) Also thought Newman was great in “Cool Hand Luke.” Parts of that movie still choke me up.
Who cares I think it added more affection during filming in the magnificent 7 there were 7 guys all with ego,s Bronson and McQueen became bigger stars than Coburn or brynner its still a classic movie but brynner told the producer he wouldn't make the return of the 7 if McQueen was in it its a shame instead robert fuller took the role of vin 😢😢
Percy Helton was cool, too. A different kind of cool,. however...
Newman was the cool "pretty boy,"with no onscreen surprizes. McQueen was a much better, natural actor and his screen persona was normally protrayed as being dangerous, unpredictable, but a natural, no bs male.
- then explain McQueen's terrible lines and acting in "The Blob"!
"better, more natural actor"? Must be joking
Mate Paul's presence is still being felt today with his charity. Don't put down a legendary actor and man, one who would put you to shame in every facet of being a decent talented human being. I wouldn't believe anything on RUclips, but it's where the brainless get their knowledge. Silly little man keep your views to yourself if you dont have anything interesting or intelligent to offer 🤪
The blob was his first film
I liked McQueen but Newman was a more accomplished actor in my humble opinion 😊
I liked Steve McQueen from the Great Escape jumping the barrier with his motorcycle at the end. However, McQueen didn’t jump the barrier was a stunt double. This was the greatest editing which McQueen looked to be the one doing it. I believe the editing of this was given an oscar.
Bud Ekins was the stuntman who actually made that jump. It's documented.
It was McQueens idea to do the jump but the producers wouldn't let him. He was too valuable. Instead, his pal Bud Ekins did it.
I think that the Steve McQueen who directed Michael Fassbender was the black Steve McQueen from England. I was wondering how Michael Fassbender could have acted for the original Steve McQueen as I am sure that he died when I was just starting high school. Fassbender would have been too young to be on Grange Hill back then, never mind act in a film directed by the original Steve McQueen
I read once where Steve McQueen mouthed off to Robert Mitchum. Robert Mitchum took exception, and Steve McQueen backed off IN A HURRY.
Another,"real" male. ;)
I have heard that for years that Robert Mitchum didn't like how Charles Bronson treated the people that were under him and also how he would bully people and let him know how he felt and Charles Bronson backed down
@@jameshuseby6290 This reminded me - I once heard some comedian (can't remember who) had a joke about Charles Bronson being scary - him saying :
"I'm gonna hurt you with my face !' haha
The A.i voice needs to be erased from its memory banks.
He was a legend.....I don't care what is said about him
To me the King of Cool is Dean Martin.
They never mentioned that Paul Newman and Steve McQueen were in the movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me." 1956. McQueen played a small part as a teenage hoodlum. Pulling a knife and wrapping his jacket around his other hand for protection from getting cut.
They're both cool. I still watch " wanted dead or alive"
I like Fassbender very much and I think he is a great actor.
All of them are excellent actors!
Steve could be a bit abrasive, and demanding, but he did project the epitome of cool.
Steve McQueen didn't die where it's said he did, I won't say where, because they didn't want it turned into a shrine.
For Steve McQueen to ask for more words in a script, is not unusual in any way.
Some actors request more words to flesh out their characters, to give them added layers of dimension, hardly unexpected in the movie making business.
He's not the first or last.
Paul Newman, an actor always tried to be better. Newman had newspaper article where he apologized for his acting in the Silver Chalice. Paul Newman was the number one choice in Ben Hur which he turned down.
No one has done more for Charity.
In my opinion Steve McQueen's talent peaked in " The Blob ".
Perfect. Can't remember, was he the blob?
Bill personally I think though Mcqueen was charismatic he was definitely overrated as an actor looks to me he just was himself
in films ,not at all versatile.
Garner and McQueen raced cars together, just to show you Jim’s loyalty.
i seen Garner many times at the Indianapolis 500, i also meet Newman there when he sponserd Mario Andretti, Newman was a good Trans Am driver saw him race at Lime Rock Park Conn!
McQueen was first choice for Grand Prix. Garner, the ultimate choice, was Frankenheimer's second choice.
I ran into Steve McQueen once at his house in Malibu but I didn't realize it until months later. I was location scouting for a department store wanting to photograph a catalog at a house on the beach. I was driving all over Malibu and found myself on a quiet empty seaside street and saw two guys working on motorcycle in the driveway next to the road. The older guy had a bushy beard and the other guy was younger. I asked them if they knew any houses around there we could use for a location. The older guy said "nope" and I drove on eventually found a beach house thru a realtor. Months later i saw a picture of Steve McQueen with a beard in a magazine and realized that was the guy who had said "nope"..
Steve was a bad ass actor and a natural born racer. I was born in 1980 and watched his movies as a kid.
@@The_Touring_JediI was 2 years old and I watched his grandson on the vampire diaries and some piranha movie.
I never knew Steve McQueen was prima donna. I loved Steve from the first time I saw him in his TV Wanted Dead or Alive break through in the entertainment business.
Some of the best actors who give good performances on screen have bad attitudes.
Evidently he wasnt intimidated by Dustin Hoffman. He probably learned early on that if he didnt pushback he wouldnt have much of a career as a Movie Star. He was both Feared and Loved. Fear and Love in the real world are mutually exclusive.
WTF?? FASSBENDER WAS 3 YEARS OLD WHEN MCQUEEN DIED.
Respect, honesty, and professionalism from his onset coworkers is what Steve expected, nothing more, nothing less. 😊
They were both short men, so Steve wasn't intimidated; he used to insist on having a box to stand on when in scenes with taller actors, such as Newman. His strong arming can be attributed to 'short man syndrome.' He felt he would be diminished by bigger actors. Also the fact he grew up in a boys orphanage may have had given him the feeling of an inferiority complex.
@@onarockm1024 He mustve been really short cuz Newman wasnt that tall. I bumped into Newman on the way out of my job on Madison av in the mid 80s and i was bigger than Newman. Maybe the same height but i was thicker at 180. He was Cool about it. Shrugged it off and that was it. I recognized him and kept it movin. He was friends with the owner of the company i worked for. Agency handled all his Newmans Own advertising.
@onarockm1024 Steve McQueen was not intimidated by anyone in Hollywood.
Alan Ladd also stood on boxes during filming.
Richard Widmark was a man of short stature as well.
Steve spending part of his youth in a orphanage probably toughened him up considerably to the point of not being afraid of softer people in the acting world.
Steve McQueen was a self made man and you could see some of it on film.
Steve McQueen the actor died in 1980, so it not possible that he could direct The Hunger film with Michael Fassbender. I think that you are referring to Steve McQueen, the British filmmaker
I never knew that McQueen was such a Hollywood powerbroker he made movies after his death in 1980.
He never died, he got tired of acting and conjured a myth so nobody would bug him. He's living in my basement, great guy, always buys the beer and lets me drive his Ferrari.
The bold move of morphing into a black man was brilliant. What a career. How old is he, anyway?
I'm going to cann B.S. here. Yes they were both very popular actors, but for the most part it was nothing more than an avenue to pursue their true love. they were extremely accomplished Drivers on the very edge in Motor Sports and greatly admired each other and were very close personally.
These two men had a natural talent in the motor sport was unreal! Their skills were legendary, As was another actor, James Garner.
KnifeMaker
AI at work mistaking Steve McQueen "The King of Cool" and Steve McQueen the Director of Michael Fassbender near the end for the same person.
Hysterically awkward and wrong. Ugh.
McQueen remains my No.1 Hollywood Guy. Newman is my No.2.
Many years later Steve McQueen apologize & buried the hatchet with Yul Brynner.
James Garner is one of the most natural, and naturally effortless, actors I have ever seen. Steve McQueen had great stage presence, and genuine cowhand skills, but he was both ambitious and insecure. He felt threatened by charismatic leading men like Yul Brynner and James Garner, and always sought to upstage them. In "The Great Escape", John Sturges finally mollified McQueen about the perceived threat of Garner by asserting that in being solo in many of his scenes, McQueen would own the audience - and own the movie.
Newman was a better actor no doubt about it . McQueen seem he was alway troubled.
McQueen was better than all those envious actors.
Whatever I heard about Mcqueen shows that he was an egomaniac who could not stand anyone who was equal or superior to him, in competitions or acting and probably even in his private life.
It was and still is a competition of ego but today in our electronic world a result proven PR specialist is mandatory.
paul newman = never able to stand anywhere near steve mcqueen = newman - was more a shirt and tie = mcqueen was levis and a Tee shirt = STEVE MCQUEEN ALWAYS !
Steve McQueen was great in the Reivers no feud!
Also Steve McQueen of Bullitt fame died in 1980. The Steve McQueen who wrote and directed Shame is a different cat.
This sounds weird but yul brenner's walk was very manly. I love how he walked
Uh....... He walked like he was trying to keep a greased egg from popping out of his keester.... Yul Brenner was a very self absorbed strange bird indeed.... and the movies I WOULD sit down to watch that he was in just never did impress me at all.... Never did GET the whooptee doo over him and his acting.... To ME, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Sean Connery, I could keep going, but there were MANY actors that were better in my book...... The best thing he did as far as I am concerned was the movie West World.... and he didn't really have to act in THAT either.....
When he was young he was actually a circus acrobat in Paris. He had an accident and broke his back but still had the strength of will to walk again. That's why his gait was unusual.
@@1956tojo some Yul Brynner trivia :: When I was in Paris in the 70s, I saw in the Louvre, a display of photos of him as a young = nude = model . . What people did / do sometimes when they are broke & desperate
None of these details matter in any shape or form today. The commanding images portraying the enigmatic actors of these times are testament to what we believed as children, and what watchers can see today in what was real time acting. It was important for them to fill their roles with believable dynamism. No remarks can hurt them now, they live on in celluloid.
Well said.
Great editing and voice-over. Masterpiece!
Steve will always remain one of my favorite actors. A l like like of people don't realize how misunderstood that he was considering what he endured from his parents while growing up. Still like Wanted dead or Alive tv show
A lot of people just didn't know the real McQueen in reality he was a good guy haunted by the fact that he had parents that didn't care for him
Cant believe you dont even show the infamous scene of him and Yul on the stagecoach with Steve shaking the boxes of shotgun shells, playing with his cowboy hat, ect....
Those touches made his character more watchable and interesting. I always thought it was silly to put him down for it.
McQueen served time as a juvenile. Had problems from the start. Thankfully for him, Hollyweird adores oddballs with problems.
About two thirds of the way through this video, the focus shifts to African-American director Steve McQueen. The director and the actor never crossed paths. The actor was long dead before the director came along.
It tickled me to no end that McQueen got under Brynner's skin and enjoyed it.😂
Steve McQueen had an onset persona that some considered volatile or dangerous, but it was simply Steve's acting method for the parts or characters that required that element. 😮
Truly a man of action in every sense of the word. 😮
BULLSHIT!
Paul Newman, was my favorite actor.
Top exploration: Really? The ACTOR Steve McQueen died in 1980. Sir Steve Rodney McQueen CBE (born 9 October 1969) is a British film director, film producer, screenwriter, and video artist. The director was 10 years old when the actor died in 1980. Who is behind this pathetic s..t? Where have you been?
James Garner was also a Racer..🏁🏆✌️
Paul Newman was NOT the friendliest person in the world.
Yrs ago I used to work parking cars in a prominent Chicago restaurant. A gentleman by the name of Carl Haas, who was a friend of Newmans and business partner in a race car team.
One night, Newman came in with Haas.
I was talking to the limo driver and he mentioned that he HATES when Newman comes to town because he has to pick him up from the airport and drive him everywhere.
He has STRICT instructions NOT to speak, or even look at him.
He was very demanding and he never tipped him a dime!
Newman and Haas tried many times to win the Indianapolis 500 with Mario Andretti as the driver but failed every time, they did win the Indy Car Championship i think a couple of times, Mario always had very bad luck at Indy!
Hilarious how you don’t know Steven McQueen the actor and Steve McQueen the director are two separate people. Did a lot of research on this , did ya ???😂😂
Pretty lame investigation
And one big difference, I do believe gives you a better understanding of McQueen: He was had quite a physical presence, meaning, he was tough as he appeared, with plenty of physical training in most areas that presented to be a challenge.
And he loved to be fight-ready. ;)
* I would have loved to see Yul/Sterve, go at it. Lol
He was a better actor & man than all the other clowns put together.
The on the set rewrite for The Great Escape was a success, and I give him credit for that.
However I am glad he did not change the script for The Magnificent Seven, or it could have become something other than a Seven Samurai western.
As AI generated narrations go, this was pretty good at first, until it hit the usual name pronunciation problems. Then we have the problem of some of the nonsensical misinformation provided. It then becomes apparent that the whole video is probably a Chatgpt production. I doubt if any humans were involved. RUclips needs to weed out this kind of crap.
Steve McQueen was the best
In short: Steve McQueen was a f..king A-hole, and his collaboration with Michael Fassbender was the notable exception!
What's interesting is today it appears the actors of the same age group all are friends.
Oh, the humanity!
......It's so easy looking back in hindsight to single Steve McQueen out from the rest of these Hollywood Icons as somehow being egotistical or self-centered, but the truth is that none of these actors were good little angels. Unfortunately, actors upstaging one another has been a long-standing tradition in the performing arts. Steve McQueen had a very difficult childhood. He was basically neglected and arguably abandoned by his mother and became a troubled teenager who grew up in an orphanage.
......when he eventually decided to embark in the acting profession, he knew that he wasn't going to get anywhere by standing back and becoming a wall flower. Hollwood is full of hungry and aggressive actors, and he knew that if he were to succeed, that he would have to fully assert himself and fight for any and all opportunities he could gain. His genuine struggle to fight and succeed in Hollywood is really not all that different than most of his contemporaries.
In fact Paul Newman and James Garner were upstanding gentlemen loved by all in the industry. They knew their own worth and were married to their wives for almost 50 yrs Garner 50+ I believe. He was dirt poor and had a terrible home life, but he did learn discipline when he served in the military and received commendations. So you know not of what you speak. Should have to tear people down by suggesting they are as questionable as the person you are trying to defend.
Unfortunately, like so many people today, you completely mischaracterize everything. No one here is suggesting that these aren't all honorable men, including Steve McQueen himself. Just because someone is married for 50 years doesn't automatically make them a saint, nor do the indiscretions on the part of Steve McQueen or anyone else for that matter automatically make him a terrible person. As a film buff, I have always admired all of these actors. My remarks were only designed to add some context to the presentation, which seemed a little tilted to one side in my view. You should really consider trying your hand at politics - those folks like to mischaracterize things too.
As most have acknowledged, the presentation powered by AI it seems is highly questionable regarding facts! However, based on that information you decided you needed to add context as you say - perhaps you needs to consider that it was not well presented and while doing that, you in effect dissed the other actors even when as a movie buff you should know that what is being presented, for the most part is wrong! Don’t appreciate your patronizing and arrogant opening sentence either!
I'm glad that you at least agree with me that the presentation was less than accurate and made some pretty glaring biographical mistakes. Moreover, I believe they were a little too heavy handed in vilifying Steve McQueen. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he was quite often a very difficult person to work with, and sometimes pushy too - it's just that I don't believe he was all that different in that regard from many of his contemporaries. Hollywood has a dark list of some very difficult and jaded people, but I don't believe that he would rate anywhere near the top half of that list - despite what the video might suggest.
Consequently, if you look at my original post, I refer to the actors from this era as Hollywood Icons, which is clearly a term of endearment on my part. I admire all of these men, they're my childhood hero's. Just because I suggest that they're not all good little angels is not the same thing as disrespecting them - everyone has their own little foibles and misgivings from time to time, especially in a highly competitive world such as acting. No offense, but I believe that you have willfully mischaracterized my words and overstated their meaning. Most people who are discerning enough and introspective enough can understand the difference - I'm sorry that you're having such a difficult time with it all.
ANYTHING AI GENERATED SHOULD BE BANNED FROM RUclips.
Another narrator who is too lazy to proofread his script. Constant mispronunciations...so many that it becomes comical if not shameful. Comic example: Magnificent Seven; Steve McQueen doing things to distract the audience from Yul Brynner, "while basically manure" ...the narrator meant to say "minor", but to say MANURE is most likely and comically how Yul Brynner felt.
It’s a computer voice. At first I was wondering who’s voice it was, a bit Sidney Poitier-esk then I realized it’s synthetic.
@@RDAUGIRD I doubt it is a computer voice based on the fact that this voice pronounces Yul Brynner several different ways. I don't think a computer would do that. More likely, a computer would pronounce any word or name the same way each time, correct or incorrect.
Pride cometh before a fall. Do not think higher of yourself than you ought.
McQueen tried to get up there as big a serious star as Yul IMO. I say that because Steve later produced and starred in an Ibsen play onscreen I think it was. Yul Brynner had starred in The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoievski's masterpiece so I guess Steve wanted a great character part too.
Steve McQueen wanted top billing for every movie he acted in.
I think this was a video created by AI. I'll betcha it asked for pieces on Steve McQueen friction with co-stars, which is how it picked up on director Steve McQueen and proceeded to cut it into the piece. I think it also means nobody bothered to check this otherwise they would have caught it.
It's very definitely entirely AI generated. I doubt if there's even any human presence that reads these comments. So no corrections.
McQueen was kewel as can be at John Phillips' home the night the Mamas & Papas sold out the Hollywood Bowl. Garner, on the other hand, was a problem for the limousine drivers. He handed the driver who replaced me, when I took over Teen Auto Club, a gun. Mr. Garner asserted that he was often accosted in public. McQueen was a down-to-earth guy. One man's opinion.
Steve McQueen died Nov 7th, 1980!!!! So much for your editors missing that minor mistake!!!
You are giving them far too much credit to suggest that there are editors involved here.
This A.I Announcer --Sucks! Too bad, I had a friend that not only knew McQueen, but said that Steve treated our friend Steve [Who was in the Movie The SAND PEBBLE w/ McQueen] like a brother. Our friend Steve knew him up till the time that McQueen passed away. LEGENDARY FRIEND he called him.
Why was the computer-generated narrator changed at 1:07 from Morgan Freeman-lite to Morgan Freeman with sarcasm-turbo button enabled?
I was not aware of his personal background making films. I guess I should not have watched this feature because I realized his calmness in his films before. I have seen a lot of his work. I found this feature by chance and was curious. I will try not to remember this history when I will continue watching his work. in the future.
Some people just can’t handle the truth!
Was their anyone who liked McQueen?
I loved him
Women.
@@thomaswilson7538 😅😅😅
Real and unpretentious men and women who wanted and got real acting from their star.
@@thomaswilson7538 Women who weren't in relationships with him, anyway.
REALLY REALLY dislike these SUPER annoying robot commentators!!!!!!!!!! But Steve McQueen is still being talked about today because he was "The King Of Cool".
Had to stop watching after 1:30 The computer generated voice was mispronouncing too many words.
Steve McQyeen the actor was not a very nice person, and his misogynist attitude in his love life was legend.
The REAL "King of Cool" was not Steve McQueen but Dean Martin, who was a much nicer guy also.
Paul Newman was a talented race car driver. McQueen only pretended to be one. Based on who won actual races.
James Garner was jealous of Steve McQueen.
I was a fan of Steve McQueen until I recently read a biography of him. Unfortunately the guy was a nightmare. Short tempered, aggressive and violent. Paranoid in that he believed everyone was out to rip him off. Dealing with him was like dealing with a child holding a hand grenade. He hated Hollywood and everyone in it. Still. The films he left us were great.
I didnt know the robot from lost in space had such a robust career
