When I was a little girl, my dad beat the hell out of me. My husband's family took me to a Donny Osmond concert. I went to get an autograph and he asked why I was so bruised. I cried and told him that his music makes the pain go away and how much I luv his purple socks. I showed him mine and he took off his socks and gave them to me and said,"when ur sad, hug them and know I'm with u and ur worth something". He also signed a picture and the socks for me. To this day, I still look at them with luv. When he got married, I didn't abandon him cuz I was happy he found luv. There's no better famous person, who is a role model to young kids especially in the mid to late 70's, than Donny Osmond. He saved my life that day cuz I was not in a good place. I thought well if I'm being beaten than maybe I shouldn't have been born and maybe I should end my life cuz obviously it's not worth much if my dad is beating me all the time. I was 12 yrs old at the time and HE SAVED MY LIFE BY NOTICING MY INJURIES AND GIVING ME HOPE... That's a great person, a gift, a blessing! So thank u Mr. Osmond for that and so much more!
Thank you for sharing your story. A big hug to you. 💖
How beautiful that he showed you love!❤
Maybe you should write him a letter or something. I bet he remembers you and always wondered what happened
Thank you Drew for giving him space to talk...and not talking over him or interrupting him! What a classy interview!
Or scaring him by jumping out of boxes, hiding in his bathroom or turn every meaningful into a prank when it gets too uncomfortable to handle. Drew is an empathetic, class act.
(Yes, I’m talking about you, Ellen).
Thanks for writing this, because that is something I admire about her. She sits back and lets them talk, and when it feels right, she'll jump in. She's a great host, and I wish her all the best in her show in time to come.
People like her deserve to succeed.
Absolutely!!!
She has been interviewed over her years since she was 5 and comes from an acting dynasty herself...she interviews or " has conversations" the way she would have wanted to be interview...with substance!
@@debbylambert3319 Very true,
Hats off to Donny for being comfortable enough to open up and talk about his 'dark years'. Again Drew gives that safe space and her empathy and humbleness at the beginning is SO heart-warming, Just a wonderfully sweet and insightful interview.
Donny and Marie both have been dealt such hard blows in life and they just keep on going. You really have to admire their resiliency, particularly Marie. That kind of heartache would sink most of us. They keep smiling and entertaining like they have for five decades. Total class acts.
Agreed, and Drew is a lovely, humble breath of fresh air also. 😚💖🌻
I totally agree on everything you said! 👏 👍
Life is a lesson for all of us! 💜💕🙏🏻Donny had wonderful parents, he was raised to love and respect people! His church is amazing!
@@stardustgirl2904Amen to that.
If more men were like Donny Osmond, the world would be a much better place. ❤
And TEN PERCENT OR MORE lighter.
Amen!
Amen to that !!
Yes it would!
Agree totally! And they always said ugh Donny Osmond…and made fun of him..…he truly is an amazing person, amazing performer! He did himself the biggest favor in life by keeping himself grounded …mowing his lawn and taking out his garbage! I’m sure his parents instilled these values in him, which is all parents should do, impart the good In their children.
What he said about his wife being #1 is so profound for an entertainer. He is definitely a great role model and has over 40 years of marriage that proves it works.
I love the way he grew up and how he puts his wife and family first...that is a man who is so blessed in ways that money could never buy
Donny Osmond is such a fascinating person. I got to learn a lot about him by researching him through various interviews since I had wanted to surprise my mother with a meet and greet pass with Donny- her lifelong crush. I needed to make sure he was a decent guy before she could potentially have her heart broken by meeting some jerk, and I came to find out that he is the absolute best. And when we met him he was the kindest, most genuine human being I have EVER met, let alone a celebrity. I wish him all the best. At age 28, I’m now a life long fan.
Oh my that's amazing! I'm 59 and if my child did that for me I'd be over the moon! I still have my puppy love album!
I have always known that he is a wonderful guy.... just watching his concerts. The goodness radiates from him.
@@freddielind5282 "Aaaaaand they call it Puppy Looo-ooo-oove" ❤️❤️❤️. Now, I won't be able to get that song out of my head all day!
He is just as kind when the lights go out. A great man
I actually got ot meet him at church once in California. My friend went to meet him and she asked me to go. I don't get too starstruck with celebrities. He was such a kind and down to earth teenager. I was very impressed he didn't think he was all that even at the height of his fame.
What a man! This is the first time I’ve heard him talk about his dark years. Drew is such an amazing host; she has a way of making her guests feel so comfortable and at ease, her emotional intelligence is off the charts. Donny was absolutely right when he told her how great her show is at the beginning of the video.
"Give me the strength to play these cards and make something of my life" so good!
donny just proves what an intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, talented person hes grown to be.
Hard to believe this is the same guy who regularly called his sister fat and made a fat joke at Rosie O’Donnell’s expense right to her face on her talk show (it’s on RUclips).
Donny’s wisdom is exactly what I needed to hear today & in this moment. I’ve always liked him but after this interview, I like him more!
That wisdom comes from how he was raised by the best two parents a kid could have.
Supersonic good wisdom
He's remained astonishingly grounded , such a nice guy .
I just saw Donny on his birthday at the London Palladium and the love that he got when he walked onstage and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. He was choked. I went with my son and he got to see the man I have loved since I was 11 and I'm 61 next week. I never gave up on him, even in those empty years I kept faith with him and tried to keep track in the UK of what he was doing. I've never met him, I met his wife and mum in the audience once many years ago, but if I did I'd just say thank you for all the happiness you have given me in my life.
I am in my 50s. For those three years, The Donny & Marie Show was THE most important thing in my little kid life. I put my cassette recorder next to the black & white TV and recorded the audio of every episode, then would listen to them back over and over. Good times!
OMG Right !! That show was great and our 'cassette recorders' yes we'd record off the TV and radio .. try to catch it !!! AAh the 'simple' times ;]
@@kathyscott8520 indeed good times 😊 I also recorded every single episode of Charlie’s Angels 😇 … and collected Charlie’s Angels trading cards. Did you read Tiger Beat? I loved Andy Gibb (RIP) and Leif Garrett.
OMG LOVED CHARLIES ANGELS ;]
Me too! I wore my purple Donny socks and had my Donny and Marie Barbie dolls right next to me too 😊 lol.
@@JA-si6uw OMG purple socks, yes! I did that, too! Had totally forgotten until you reminded me 😊 “I’m a little bit Country, and I’m a little bit Rock’n’Roll…” 🎶
So humble, I've always adored him.
He has aged well.
This Man Is A real Singer No auto Tune machine no Effect Just His Voice and Talent He deserve to Be the Best and He is the Best.
💯 Not many people talk about the quality of his voice. His vocal tone is unmatched!!! Smooth as silk!
Yes I Agree with you @@mmmichellegirl
It's incredible to hear a man voice how he feels about the events in his life and his order of priorities. ❤❤❤😊🥰❤❤❤‼️
When he casually said that he just released his 65th album my mouth DROPPED. 🤯
Love this man. His honesty, the 43 year marriage. So many good things about him. 65th album?? Wowsa! Keep on going Donnie. We love you!
he is such a down to earth real guy --- who doesn't love Donny
Drew has been through a lot in her life. She was exposed to so much garbage and not taken care of as a child. I am so impressed with the kind, smart and living woman she has become. She is besutiful inside and out. Donny was right about what he said to her. Great episode here.
I read her autobiography too. Drew deserves our respect, she has the warmest heart too... ...just like Donny deserves it. MAN I love him and Marie. Distant cousins, I've never met them but once saw them sing in a huge theatre with their entire family. Like me, they choose not to be afraid and to just go forward, win 'r lose, roll wit the punches, come out of top through Integrity and because of the love God has for each one of us, sustaining us through it ALL one by one until we connect again. Ah!, the GLORY of Life.
Such a breath of fresh air this show. I was a kid in the 70s...Cher, Donny and Marie were my go to shows.❤️♥️❤️🥳🤩
I can't imagine the pain Donny was feeling in the 80's. He lives for his career (and his faith).
I agree! Amazing interview!!! Drew asked a question and allowed Donny to speak until he finished before she asked another question!! How refreshing!!!👏👏👏👏👏
To me, he is a hero!!! Love that man for who he has become. I remember in the 5th and 6th grade, the Osmonds and the Jacksons were 2 of the greatest groups of those times!
I’ve always loved Donny Osmond. I saw him in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat many years ago and loved him. I will always be a fan 💕
I did too! My sister and I screamed like little girls again when he flew overhead. Haha.
I loved him growing up; had posters of him in my bedroom. I love him even more now that he is showing all of us that even he goes thru a dark night of the soul.
Not all Donny's fans abandoned him. I spent those years he talked about listening to his recordings and waiting for something new. Soldier of Love was redemption for his fans as well as him. He survived all that because his family raised him in the right path, and he didn;t stray from his faith or the family who were there for him. Great interview.
Donny is so fantastic in everything he does. And it is because he works so hard at it.
About time he gets respect he deserves.!
Yes!
This is why the Osmonds feel like a family you know and grew up with because of their ability to stay grounded, kind and being appreciative.
Drew is the best host out there. Her willingness to give people the platform to actually speak, instead of always having their own itinerary is so refreshing. Many of these celebs, need to talk, whether it be about good times, or the bad. Maybe they need to clear the air about something, and this show is the best platform for that. She's awesome and obviously so many people love Drew.
tigergreg8: I wholeheartedly agree with you!!!!Thank you!!!♥️👏👍
Donny . . . respect. That's all I gotta say brother. I admire how he stayed grounded and stayed strong so this business wouldn't eat him up alive, like it's done to so many child stars like him. He had career lows, yes, but you have to give him props for being strong enough to get through them.
That's why we love Donny and the Osmonds! Saw them years ago-like 50 years ago! It was great.
I never stopped liking Donny and Marie Osmand. The had their own careers but family was always the most important to them. Love them more for that 💗🙏🥰
Drew, this was an absolutely beautiful and profound, so open, honest and real interview with Donny Osmond. Thank You Drew and Donny. You have both touched my laugh. Standing Ovations for each of you!!
Met him a few years ago. He was very kind and sweet. Just what you would expect.
I was in love with Donny Osmond for a minute when I was 9. He’s an American Treasure & so heartfelt.
Me too.
Love this interview Donny so honest and open and love the blue jacket great color on you
I LOVE DREW BARRYMORE. Such a special human being
Really respect when someone like Donny Osmond opens up and shares his very personal experiences...
@Elle yes and not being mean or anything, when he turned to the audience to say, something about, I don't know if anyone did this, "a Donny Osmond record burning party." He understands, okay we were young, but to do such a thing!?!
Donny was also amazing on the “Masked Singer”, what a performer!
Donny is a legend! He did a great interview with drew. I was a kid in the 80s. And I remember the 80s wasn't kind to alot of the stars from the 70s .alot didn't start bouncing back until the 90s. Because nostalgia for the 70s came back in the 90s. Am glad to hear don is doing better now.👍👍🙏🍻
Donny osmond always had a beautiful voice
how could you not love Donny?
Thank you Drew, for having Donny Osmond on your show. He was dealt a raw hand from 79 to 89. Now he coming back to life. Bigger and bet than ever before. He is truly a wonderful entertainer, and human being.
Great interview! He is the real deal! Really a class act! Love that family is his priority!!
Love Donny. I have been a fan since I was a tiny girl watching Andy Williams. I never abandoned him, I missed his music for years. He is an amazing man who puts his family 1st. More men need to be like Donny. Debbie is a beautiful lady and person.
Thanks for this thoughtful and insightful interview. I have loved Donny since 1970. He is a great entertainer, but even a greater man. He cares about people and he is very genuine.
Amen :) a great man. On and off camera
I've loved him since I was 5 years old. That makes 50 years!❤️❤️❤️
Donny Osmond, the only poster I had on my wall growing up!! Still a star!!
Love Donny so much he is amazing, 💗💗
Well said,Donny Osmond was my idol growing up,look at him now,so wise
I am so sorry to hear how fans acted when he got married. I was so happy for him and Debbie. He was part of my pre-teen years so it was like a friend getting married.
He is still one of my celebrity crushes!
I had the pleasure of meeting Donny and Marie in private just a few years ago. You couldn't expect two nicer down to earth people. I felt as if I had known them for years..love them!
Great interview and thank you Donny for your honesty and thank you Drew for making him feel safe to share it.
Interview of the year award! With an added bonus--lifes lessons for happiness and staying grounded!
He made me cry. Yes God can give us strength when we need it. 🙏
Drew, I LOVE this interview. Donny is so sincere and frank. It’s a gift.
I loved their show! He’s a competitive beast, a singing & dancing (with the stars 🌟) 🕺🏻professional, churning them out! I’m so glad for Donny. Wise advice. True love, considering her feelings first. VERY mature and loving.
A few years ago donny sang "in my life" as a tribute to his wife on their anniversary. It is the single most beautiful version of that song I've ever heard.
Very authentic down to earth guy. I respect him very much for his honesty
Amazing interview. She let him talk and he told about his life. It was perfect.
Donny is an inspiration - especially when he talked about needing to have balance.
Have been a fan of Donny since I was a kid. Grew up watching him and Marie on their show. My first ever cassette tape was Donny and Marie. Fan for life!
Drew and Donny, two of my favorite humans and artists!🧡🧡
What an incredible interview and an incredible artist like Donny Osmond! Amazing musician and inspiring person. Thank you Drew for this interview. Thank you Donny for all the beautiful years of music you have given us all. ❤😊🤗🥰🌹😉Your longtime fans
I really got alot out of hearing his honesty. Ty Donnie..helped me
Love Donny and all the Osmonds, Such Great People.. And Love Drew.. Such a Great Interview..
I'd forgotten how much the Tiger Beats etc always profiled the Osmonds and the Jacksons similarly during that time, w obviously Micheal and Donny as the featured singer - just how much they had in common at the time for a few years, career wise. Reminded me of the joint split screen posters of both families they would do and so on...
Kudos to Donny for finding that grounding w his family and not becoming another casualty of his success.
Doing the mundane keeps you grounded! He is right about balance!! His faith is amazing.
Donny is such a nice, nice man!! 💕
This is awesome and incredible kudos to Drew having the safe space for Donny to be real and vulnerable.
I grew up with this man. Literally my whole life he has been an influence. He is still one of the greatest entertainers. Thanks for having him on your show.
Thank You for the Happiness Drew and Donny.
Bless Donny for opening up and telling his story to Drew!
Fans can have a great impact or unfortunately an adverse impact as well!
He has very wise advice about life.
Great heartfelt interview from Donny. Good job Drew!
I saw Donny's show in October - it is great!
Wonderful interview!! Loved The Donny and Marie Show!!! Still handsome as ever!!!
I was in Branson Mo. years ago when Donny was performing at the Osmond Theatre. After the show, he and another guy came into the resturant accross the street to dine . My sisters and I were there and my heart was about to jump out of my chest just seeing him in person. My sisters urged me to go get a picture wirh him and an autograph, but I refused to intrude on his privacy. I love him and respect him too much.
That is so nice of you Fannie. I bet he wouldn't mind at all if you did. But hey, still a lucky one for having him so near by. Wish you all the best. Greetings and a hug from Amsterdam. Karin. 👍✌👌🌼🍀🤗
Donny is so incredible. His mentioning of Michael Jackson breaks my heart - I believe all the trouble he had is rooted in his father’s abuse. Donny’s family, and Debbie especially, no doubt saved Donny from the “child star curse”.
Donny's religion and that of his family and wife saved Donny!
My dad and step mom took us girls to see Donny and Marie when I was 8 years old in Ft. Worth. I'll never forget it! I'm 53 now and have nothing but love for Donny!
I love Donny! Have a few of his albums! I grew up watching and listening to his music!
Play those cards... Wow... That hit home with me. Love it!
Omg so love this interview,always and forever Donny fan 💕💕💕💕
He is a great speaker, very motivational and inspiring.
He just seems like such a nice grounded guy. He was right because I believe Drew's show has since won an award...
What a great segment. “Play those cards”. So true, love this guy!
I learned more about Donny in this interview, very meaningful as Drew said. ❤️
This guy exudes integrity and decency and humor.
I love him so much I respect him so much
We can only dream that find a man like him
Thank u donny 💓 😘
Donny is a class act.
Thinking of others first before yourself is what it means to truely be a king. GREAT! interview.
I didn't know Drew had a talk show. Donny is the best.💖💖
In junior high I said I was going to marry Donny, but I learned that since I wasn’t Mormon I couldn’t 😢. Oh well many many years later I still live him (as well as my wonderful husband). Glad he found someone who he loves so much.
Gotta love Donny! Such a great person ❤
You know he's right. Donny Osmond fans were nuts back in the 70's. I was always more of a David Cassidy fan, but my best friend and her sister were all about Donny Osmond, and they were DEVASTATED when he got married. Like I don't know what they thought, that he was going to marry them? I mean tears, and tossing their records. It was silly and stupid and yet it did happen.
My sister and I saw him on stage in Joseph many years ago. I remember at one point he flew over us (on wires) and we screamed like little girls again. Instantly it’s 1971 and that whole Donny love all over again. Always happy to see him happy and successful. Drew too.
I thank you Drew. I have loved Donny since 1970. The first 45 I ever bought ! Such a good man
