Kraaxpelax Do you prefer living a mediocre life and live long or a full life and.. still live long? They didn't actually die young, but they had enough experiences to fill ten life-times.
I hope that you remember that the next time you get accosted by a drunk. There is nothing life affirming by being an alcoholic - quite the reverse. If they had not been famous then you would think them to be degenerate scum.
RIP Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole. I wished they had made an audio book of their drinking stories. At least, we have these video gems. Thanks for uploading this fantastic video.
That always gets me. The great Richard Burton...I hate it went Peter O' Toole and Richards Harris get mixed into it. They've always loved a drink...but O'Toole and Harris were always great souls.
You could really tell that Peter otoole and Richard Harris were genuinely great friends, and when it comes to actors they really don't make em like that anymore
Victoria Gadd Burton & O'Toole as well, think they would pop up in each other's movies. O'Toole was eviscerated by London critics, for Hamlet (?), Burton recalls calling him to commiserate in his diaries, he had to do all the talking, unusual for O'Toole.
Trust me, they do! These remarkable fellas had a rep theatre industry to work in, so they’d be doing 10-12 plays a year and constantly working and getting reviews and drinking and enjoying themselves. And becoming famous and going on talk shows to tell stories! Nowadays all the parts for actors are on telly and film and you have to eat well and drink smoothies and behave. If you’re a lucky sod like me and you get to do the odd play, you’ll meet amazing actors full of their own stories like these!
Harris and O' Toole would downright refuse "Heaven". Aside from the manager being a genocidal, slavery endorsing, baby killing maniac, they'd never tolerate the dull company.
oh my god I don't remember the last time I laughed so much at stories like these. That was incredible. And the storytelling skills of Harris are just unbelievable. He captures you with a single word and doesn't let you go.
"I formed a new group called Alcoholics-Unanimous. If you don't feel like a drink, you ring another member and he comes over to persuade you." Richard Harris knew what he was and was totally comfortable in his own skin.......... I'd have loved to have been in a bar with these two, oh the shenanigans !!! Bloody amazing talent too.
I LOVE these two gentlemen! It always amazes me when people dis' them for their drinking, all the while living their own mean excuses for lives. Harris and O'Toole knew the true art of enjoying every drop of life!!
They tell it wonderfully and the fact that it has been recounted, with variations, about untold actors going back to Edmund Kean and beyond diminishes it not a whit.
Yokie Miller Elizabeth Taylor - to name one - was notorious for being able to keep up, among other things. And she was petite! Of course, O'Toole weighed about 10 lbs.
Excellent! Harris, The Irish inside of him just bleeds through! haha The two are like a Lennon and Mccartney. Every show it's "tell us a story about Harris/O'Toole" Brilliant!
Yes, but if you eat and drink too much you cannot be merry, because your liver no longer functions, you cannot get an erection, and you start puking bile and shitting blood, eventually dying with the realization that you never really learned how to live, and that you were oblivious to all the people, places and things you would have known and loved if you had had your wits about you.
You can go through life without living it, these guys lived large and hard and were admired by all. Not sure I would or could do some of the things that these guys did, bury it would have been a blast to be a fly on the wall.
When I went to Ireland in 1976 with eight of my relatives, we visited all our Irish ancestors, cork Carlo and what I’m getting at is my stepdad at the time he was my stepfather till he died and I loved him with all my heart he told me to drink the Guinness And I wouldn’t get constipated. I’ll never forget it. I loved you, John Fennelly
In contrast, today some people think James Franco and Seth Rogen are "two wild and crazy guys." Anyway... Those actors of old partied hard and still turned in great work. John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Ward Bond and sometimes John Ford had some legendary benders.
***** true enough ... but a genuine Historic Shenanigan just the same. ... Harris was a drunken mess. ... but a lot of artistic geniuses are aren't they?
***** you're a pathetic, politically correct moron. ... I didn't AT ANY POINT say that it was "cool." .... ButHarris, and O'Toole and Burton andl other famous Rabble Rousers that time were truly gigantic characters in Art AND in Life.. ... Your petty moral assessment is shallow judgmental GARBAGE. ... (If you're ACTUALLY that fucking uptight, maybe you should go to church and pray for the soul of Richard Harris). Keith Richards still drinks a Fifth of Jack Daniels before he goes on stage to blow the crowd away ..... and SO F**KING WHAT? .... you whining tea totalling bitch.
Oh all the money that e'er I spent I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me and all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had Are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had Would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all
It's great they both can remember most likely 100's of stories. Imagine a book of such stories from Harris O'Toole Burton Robert Shaw to name but a few.
I happened upon this video as a result of listening to Richard Burton speak of his own stories about drinking. He was also a good story teller, but these two guys are amazing! I'm literally in awe of their storytelling abilities. They all come from a time before all the electronic gadgets and social media apps. All the actors who appear on talk shows today could put you to sleep or make you want to change the channel.
That first story is the both the funniest and most Irish thing I've ever heard... "Madame, if you think I'm drunk just wait 'til O'Toole makes his entrance!"
Richard Harris once found himself on a train late at night. He was alone on this train without any idea how he got on it. At the end of the line. The conductor of the train told him he had to get off as the train was stopping for the night. He found himself in a terraced street in the early hours of the night. He started throwing small stones at the nearest upstairs window of the first house in the street, eventually a woman opened the window and said "what do you want"?, he said he wanted a drink!, ......he was there 4 weeks lol
RIP Richard Harris (October 1, 1930 - October 25, 2002), aged 72 And RIP Peter O'Toole (August 2, 1932 - December 14, 2013), aged 81 You both will be remembered as legends

That's right, like Bob Mitchum, knew he was dying, but he lived life as he wanted all the way to the end, with a tequila in hand

Throw in Richard Burton and Oliver Reed and you've got the Four Horsemen of Inebriety.

Truly. They were a different breed. Real treasures of which we will never see again.
Harris was the Greatest in all arenas.

Oh God! I hope there are pubs in Heaven if only for the likes of Harris and O'Toole !

Harris and O' Toole would downright refuse "Heaven". Aside from the manager being a genocidal, slavery endorsing, baby killing maniac, they'd never tolerate the dull company.
x'D
indeed!
Laura Thornton If there are none, then it's the other place. And it's hot, so you'd need a drink even more.
They are probably barred from all of them by now

Who is the bloody bloke?
Classic actors ,original ,beautiful ,outstanding
Wouldn't want to have been married to one of 'em, but they are delightful.
Yokie Miller MANY others were.
At 10pm I stumbled upon these clips of Harris-O'Toole drinking stories, it's now 1am and I can't stop watching them
Love these Irish Gentlemen.. who added so much to my country..god bless them.. and Richard Harris's son is a great actor as well.
Does his son drink Evian at film premieres?!🤣
I am very happy to watch and hear their funny stories, to watch them as they were and not acting. I miss them both. Thank you for sharing sharing.
Came into this world plastered, and went out plastered. Excellent.
I LOVE these two gentlemen! It always amazes me when people dis' them for their drinking, all the while living their own mean excuses for lives. Harris and O'Toole knew the true art of enjoying every drop of life!!
2 irish film legends. never to be forgotten.
...”Oh I’ll shuffle through my memories”,............absolute gold!!!!! 😂😂👌
I've heard him(and O'Toole) tell the "Good God! Harris is drunk" story several times. I laugh like an idiot every time!
Absolutely! It's "The Story" combined with the way they tell it. Stuff you cannot make up.
They tell it wonderfully and the fact that it has been recounted, with variations, about untold actors going back to Edmund Kean and beyond diminishes it not a whit.
Laura Thornton Many of these guys were more interesting, larger than life, than the characters they played.
Can you imagine Richard Harris' son Jared goes from him as a dad to Rex Harrison as a Step-Dad! 😆
@@samanthab1923 Poor Jared and his brothers. Two totally different types, of course Harris being the preferred one. 💋💘💞💚🎵🎶🍀
Had to have been a hoot hanging with these guys! Rest in peace.
mookiemu Let's hope not!
I'm from Limerick like the great Harris, what a great raconteur!
Being genuine has no material value. These two are priceless. RIP you beautiful souls.
imagine having a life long friend like this, whoever has one is extremely lucky.
I’d settle for a friend
The entertainment industry will NEVER see the like of these MEN again....fortunately they left a GREAT body of work...
You’re underestimating me.
These men were legends in their lifetimes.
Bloody hell now I’m late for work!
Could watch these two all day.
This is utterly joyous. Two wonderful friends and great actors. The O'Toole story about his jacket and tombstone is absolutely priceless 😅
Most of us will go thru life and never have a friend like these 2 found in each other.
I was in O'Donoghues in Dublin and O'Toole was at the bar listening to the session.
What year was this in??
"It distresses us to return work which is not perfect. So I'm having it on my tombstone." - The GREAT Peter O'Toole
Absolute legends, what a friendship, I could listen to the two of them all day .
What an epic life these two had! Love it!!
God bless them! I would have given anything to spend a day with these legends ✌💖😄
Hmm, Marjorie, ..I don't know, as women, we wouldn't be invited, unless it was for "other" purposes..
Yokie Miller Elizabeth Taylor - to name one - was notorious for being able to keep up, among other things. And she was petite! Of course, O'Toole weighed about 10 lbs.
Such great actors. All of their parts were memorable.
Never to be repeated........or bettered...
Magic. Got watery eyed at the end when they were singing, probably because they reminded me of my dad.
Yes,God bless them both...
Freakin great Harris story about O'Toole being drunk! LMAO!
They look so bloody happy to go back through those memories
Every time I'm pissed. I play this and wonder and reminisce. Whatever. Play on you wonderful bastards.

Art Is Pain u not doing it right. U drink untill u are sober again.

Eat, drink and be merry.
Yes, but if you eat and drink too much you cannot be merry, because your liver no longer functions, you cannot get an erection, and you start puking bile and shitting blood, eventually dying with the realization that you never really learned how to live, and that you were oblivious to all the people, places and things you would have known and loved if you had had your wits about you.

The old adage ....go to bed drunk and wake up drunk. And this man was just great. Met him on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. So down to earthm
These two were precious together. And we don't get storytelling interviews like this anymore! Such legends.

This is so Great! Miss these guys.
The finest of Irishman, loved them so much! I met Richard Harris RIP.
These were the best actors in there time, sadly missed.
he always cheers me up rip Peter xx
Two lives well lived. I am sure they'l still having a laugh somewhere.......
No doubt haunting the bar down by Finchy's!
One the most amusing videos I have watched in ages...Thanks for this. Some very engaging stories from some of the greatest actors of all time.
4:56 I love that "And we were in Dublin together - on the lash.." pause, waiting for the inevitable WTF!? from Dave ;)
.. and, damn, these are some of the coolest dudes.. ever. Imagine being their friend. You will never, EVER get bored with them..
Brilliant. In a small way we try to carry on their spirits. In every sense of the word..!
I could stand a few more hours of that
Great stuff!! Thank you.

Alas, it was to none but me and all the harm that e'er I've done

And all I've done for want of wit

So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had

But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

WOW! Two amazing guys!
Fucking brilliant!!! Love those 2 Irish blokes.
look on Wiki. about Peter O' Toole. it says he wasn't 100% sure of his birth place or D.O.B. (date of birth).
Shut up fool. He was Irish
I ´ll have that on my gravestone ;-)
ohhh dear god the stories that bottle could tell
When Harris was taken by the medics from the Dorchester Hotel to hospital when he was dying shouted in the lobby dont eat the food, genius
I had the pleasure of seeing Peter O'Toole in Jeffrey Bernard is unwell in 1989 at the Apollo Theatre. Such talent.
Wonderful play and he was wonderful in it.
That first story is the both the funniest and most Irish thing I've ever heard... "Madame, if you think I'm drunk just wait 'til O'Toole makes his entrance!"
