I love how Patrick Stewart engages the audience in with the interview. He pivots towards them as if he is including them in the conversation. Really speaks to his theater background and makes him seem really genuinely aware and approachable.
Yes, and he is exactly right. Theater performance is driven by the audience. I have done local stage and film, and stage is so much more exciting. The audience engagement in the performance really makes the show and its energy.
And along with that fact, I really really like how Steven watches to make sure certain guests are OK going up the stairs by the desk, ready to assist as needed.
His wife put up a picture of him in a bathing suit on Instagram and he was ripper than most people in their 20s. The man had abs and thick biceps. I was so pissed that old man looked better than me that I almost threw my phone.
@@Hunteress14 I was going with Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy, with Alec Guinness. From 1974. He plays the mastermind, who doesn't utter a line of dialogue, despite being an important character.
I met Patrick Stewart in 1994 (following the Northridge earthquake) in a restaurant in Westwood where I was dining with fellow volunteer nurses working out of disaster centers. He was gracious in thanking us for our public service to the community. He was a real gentleman.
Thanks for sharing this. I love hearing what people who've met celebs in unofficial settings have to say about them, because those encounters often say a lot about who the celeb is as a person. Everything I've ever heard about Sir Patrick is that he's a genuinely decent man.
I agree 100%. He could read ANYTHING and I'd want a ticket to be there to listen. Make it a night of men with smooth, deep voices and you'd have a riot of women fighting over tickets. 😄 James Earl Jones, Tom Hiddleston, and Benedict Cumberbatch are just three who'd need to also be on the marquee.
Sir Patrick, you were such a joy to listen to during the pandemic when you would read the Shakespeare Sonnets. I have loved you since TNG and will always fight anyone who says that Kirk was the better captain. Thank you for the kindness and wisdom you give to the world.
Sir Patrick!!! Oh what an amazing man!!! That Kirk Doiglas memory brought me to tears!!! Thank you for yet another delightful show Stephen Colbert!!! ❤ We watch every day!!!
I hope he is releasing his memoir with a self recorded audio book. That would be amazing to listen to him talk about his life and experiences for hours.
That would be AMAZING to listen to Christopher!! I'd listen over & over & over to it! ❤️🥰 Edit: I'd listen 'also', I wouldn't listen to YOU! LOL Unless ofcourse You have a sexy deep voice? Haaaaaahahaha
Delightful man and captivating actor! I saw him as Prospero in the RSC's 2006 production of The Tempest - his presence, his fierce command of this iconic role, and his VOICE!! Unforgettable.
I can't even imagine how I'd react if someone I considered a hero told me I was an inspiration. I totally understand him being moved to tears. Profound!
I remember watching a video on Shakespeare, for an undergrad course in literature, around the early 1990s - and the video was Patrick Stewart, explaining how to understand Shakespeare - this was the first time I'd even heard of Patrick Stewart/star trek/anything (I was young and naive) - but that video stayed with me. I cant wait to see the 3rd series of Picard.
I first saw him in "Excalibur" but it wasn't until TNG that I began what is turning out to be a life-long crush. His RUclips postings of " A Sonnet a Day" was the best part of many of those quarantine days. What a gift he has been and continues to be!🥰
P-Stew is the paragon of excellence. Renowned Shakespearian actor, masterful portrayer of finest captain in the history of star fleet, and voice of the craziest SOB - in a cast inundated by the profoundly unhinged - on American Dad.
Just slightly older than president Biden. And I say that as a supporter of Biden. 80 is the new 60 -- IF you take care of your body and brain. Don't smoke people.
Sir Patrick, talking about live audience, captures something of the quantum effect. The audience has power. I've been to too many Yankee games to discount the crowd's impact.
Loincloths, hmm, must be something he really liked doing.. many years ago I happened to catch a very small production he did while in New York called, "The Ride Down Mt Morgan", and managed to get just one front row seat. Some time in the two person show, he ended up in nothing but "whitey-tighty" briefs and was standing at the front of the very low stage directly over me LOLOL. A strange experience, but also a wonderful show and opportunity to see him act in live theater. It was an incredible, exciting, and moving performance.
Patrick Stewart and Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon) both grew up from Huddersfield when there were young and both went to the same drama school. You have to get Brian on the show, he is a great guest!
To perform in front of an audience was indeed something I had never experienced until I was asked to sing instead of being the sound guy. The energy, the enthusiasm, the love, or, if you really mess up, the negative reaction (thank G'D I never experienced it) It can be addictive though for it is such a good feeling that you want more of it. I remember very well the first night I stood there on that stage looking at a crowd of about 150+ people staring at me. To say I was nervous as heck is an understatement of the century. I guess that was my "a deer caught in the headlights" moment.
Patric Stewart’s characters are my inspiration. I don’t know much about the man but the people he has been on screen are legendary. It made me tear up when he said he got more than what he wanted.
You...Are...My...Inspiration!!!!!! What the power of Acting and Performing...can do to a person's soul and spirit....IS TRUE TRUE POWER AND PRICELESS!!!!
A true acting legend. His natural magnetism elevates everything he’s a part of. Picard could fill the room in a TNG scene even with minimal dialogue. The way he reflects Picard’s respectability in his life as well makes him truly an all around icon. He’s long been an advocate for mother’s and women in abusive situations, just as he experienced as a child.
Ive always wanted to meet sir Patick and tell him that our ancestors were allied in Scotland in the middle ages and fought together with Robert the Bruce at Sterling Bridge against the English King! his ancestors survived the battle as did not mine. Others of our ancestry attended the wedding of Mary Queen of Scotts and once again his ancestors survived and my family's sole attendee was promptly poisened upon return to Scotland!! True Story! his name was Gilbert Kennedy and this information is readily available on the web! so Sir Patrick if this comment were somehow to reach you ( unlikely for certain) please reach out🤔🤔only hoping, it could be all my best from the Kennedys of Louisville KY❤🙏 thanks for the fun you've given us. truly appreciated!
For 30 years of my 37 this man has been my captain. He made space interesting for me. He made me think a better future for humans could even be possible, and all while playing a fictional character. Great connection as an actor. And God let's not forget his funniest character Cia director Avery bullock. Some of the funniest shit that is. A great man,
@@janiceleeripley443 I believe he won at jousting and the right to pull Excalibur from the stone before Arthur, a lowly page, misplaced his knights sword and pulled the sword out of the rock and embarrassingly sticks it back in to a mobs demand. After Stewart’s character fails to retrieve the sword, the villagers taunt Arthur and he obliges to become a boy King releasing Excalibur.
As a fan of Stephen's I'm surprised he didn't more heartily embrace Stewart's citing of the role of the audience. During the Covid shutdown of the Sullivan theater, one could feel Stephen's impulse to connect with an audience, a need for more than the mere camera. Though maybe it's precisely that he is so interactive a performer that it's still too hard to comment casually.
I watched Stephen. Rewatch and pay attention to when Stephen’s asking questions or the camera moves to him. You’ll see him clasping his own hands together so tightly.. look at his fingers, it’s obvious he’s nervous in that moment. I’m guessing he is an enormous fan. His focus is also solely on Patrick Stewart & what he’s saying.
It is the measure of Colbert's greatness, how well he was able to perform and keep his comic timing during the pandemic even with no audience, or just Evie and a very small film crew. Many late-night hosts were nowhere near as good under those circumstances, and some were damn near unwatchable.
@@serendipityshopnyc I'm only expressing it as admiration ~ but that it seemed to me that lack of actually having the audience to get the energy-flow he talks about here, that the absence was more difficult for him. I only also viewed (on YT) Kimmel & Fallon ~ who both had their small children around, who lent some charm to them, that wasn't so visible, to me, beforehand.
" Picard " is my favourite of the entire franchise ( And I've seen them all ) can't wait for season 3 And I bet , at 82 , he'ld have some trouble memorizing all the lines in Shakespear

The man looked 40 when he was 20, looked 40 when he was 40, looked 40 when he was 60, and only started to age again in his 70s.
Yep. Take stock of his works. He’ll be on his way soon. Enjoy those people while you can.

I loved him, but I still do and “Q”. They were the beginning and the end of TNG.
He’s writing a memoir?!?! 🤩 Automatic must-read… you just know this man has lived a fascinating and full life.

Yes: it's a symbiosis. You feed the audience, and the audience feeds you.

He's a legend. Picard and Professor Xavier are well known iconic roles.
I see Sir Patrick Stewart in the title and I instantly take the time to watch. May he live long and prosper.
Delightful man and captivating actor! I saw him as Prospero in the RSC's 2006 production of The Tempest - his presence, his fierce command of this iconic role, and his VOICE!!
Unforgettable.
Always great to see the good Captain on shore leave.
Wow to realize Patrick could be moved to tears meeting one of his heroes when he himself is that for so many others!
The amazing twist was that he was a hero to his hero.
I can't even imagine how I'd react if someone I considered a hero told me I was an inspiration. I totally understand him being moved to tears. Profound!
That was the best part

I admire Stephen for being able to tell Stewart his honest and blunt opinion of the royal family. He’s set new precedent and I appreciate that.
Absolute legend. People who disagree are just wrong.
Patrick Stewart is a treasure, we should appreciate him while we can. ♥
I absolutely love Patrick Stewart ❤❤❤
I love him in a Christmas Carol. Favorite Christmas movie ever!
(Overall) Agree.
He's Phenomenal in it.
I feel so validated; I have been starting my day just like that for years! So happy to see this vital man carrying on; it is inspiring to me.
Love that Mr. Stewart is wearing a suit and sneakers. So appropro and on trend.
Can you imagine meeting your hero and having them tell you that you are their inspiration? I just can't, I would die then and there.
International treasure and intergalactic hero. Engage.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼🖖🏼
Make it so!
I love Sir Patrick.
To have that voice at 82. And oh the comfy white shoes regardless of attire.
