Obviously, handsome and fit, but just as importantly, intelligent, a quick wit, humorous, humble, articulate. I can’t believe he’s gone. May he and his wife rest in peace.
This movie had me balling so bad when he returned back without his LOVE.. After losing my SON IN 2022, it hit me so hard that I had anxiety attack.. I love Christopher Reeve such an inspiring SUPER human even through his adversities .. His purpose on this earth was a blessing to mankind.. I'd sure take care of him if he was my LOVE..
Wow, did not know he'd come to the UK before & studied theatre etc... That shows his dedication & why he was so good. I'm on a Chris Reeve marathon at the moment & boy, I was, & am now, sooo in love with him. The film, Somewhere In Time, is such a touching and beautifully acted film with gorgeous music. I loved films of that era, they entertained, they didn't preach. He was such a huge talent, so sad what happened to him.
Not only was he an awesome person and still an awesome person in all our hearts, but he was one hell of dad to his children and he will always live forever in their hearts. He seem to me to just be your average every day guy that you wouldn't mind hanging out with and talking to. He will live forever in our hearts with his interviews and movies.
So sad that his son William lost both his parents in less than 18 months. William has gone through some terrible losses. His father in 2004, his grandmother (Dana's mother) in 2005 and his mother in 2006. Also, his children with Gae Exton losing their father. Just so very sad.
There's some people that you really miss. Christopher reeve is one of them. He had it all, talent, good looks, and a great personality. Yes he will always be Superman 🙂
Ellen, Looking back with 20/20 hindsight I'm surprised no one said "Hey you're to big to be on a horse for steeple chase. Your weight will hamper the horse's performance".
A horse rider commented about Reeve's situation, he said that that could've happened to any rider, at any time. As he said, he had gliders, these are ones with no engine. Brave man.
I notice the little things when watching clips. In the opening -- 0:25, how "thanks" naturally rolls out when he finishes. I don't think he meant to say it, it just flowed out. It just shows his true character, humility, and sense of accomodating hospitality.
What a wonderful man he was who will be missed by everyone , he was a brilliant actor and played in other films too , I was so devastated when I heard about his accident , I could not believe when I think of this strong man to suddenly being in a wheel chair for the rest of his life with out being able to move , of course if this did not happen I think he would of lived a right old age because he was fit and healthy , his poor family must of suffered a lot. May god bless u supper man with all the love in the word for u , because that is what he was , a wonderful amazing person. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He definitely was Superman. Love how he did his trade by putting the hard work in saving his money up and coming over to Britain to study the theatre actors.
Every director/writer attempting to make/write a Superman film nowadays, should listen to Christopher Reeve talk about the character in this interview. Wow.... the insight on the guy! And he was not even 30!! 3:09
I have a hypothesis that there are no real people disliking many of the videos on youtube. Some automated function is set up to keep any video from getting nothing but positive responses… I do not have the “why” figured out, yet. ;-)
I think he was the best personification of the idea of superman. He is right. Superman is a nice idea and I think it needs more than superpower to be superman.
As much as he ridiculed the existence of “ superman” as portrayed in the original movie or in comic books since he was created, christopher reeves never suspected that he actually was a real life, living breathing superman. In his real life, there are more than a few parallels with the comic book superman that demonstrate that and it is uncanny. Christopher Reeves lived his personal life more like “ superman” than he would of liked to admit. He truly was and will always be the real, original superman. Rip Christopher.
he was in London to basically re film Superman 2.they had originally done most of the second part while making the original.however,due to a conflict between producer and director(who was subsequently fired) most of the original shooting of part 2 was scrapped.a new director was hired(Richard Lester of Beatles fame) and most of what was in 2 was a result of his efforts.
What a beautiful interview ❤ he's so cute, funny adorable and incredibly warm and charming. I love all his films and while some are not the best he makes them worth watching. My favourite of his happens to be Deathtrap but I grew up watching Superman and between Superman and Clark Kent I like Clark the most bc as Christopher said he is definitely more relatable. I can't get enough of Chris and I'm glad I'm not alone in that. ♥️♥️♥️ though I do wish he was still here with us.
He’s a lot more comedic and fidgety than I remember as a child. Seeing this old footage and then him in later years, it makes you wonder whether there really is a pre-destined script in life and why one like this…that the man who played Superman onscreen becomes a paraplegic in real life.
He turned down american gigolo. The movie that made richard gere a star. This must have been such a great year for him. Superman was a smash hes in his early 20s & his long term partner he met in london had their first son Matthew. And hes famous & good looking & smart went to an ivy league college & 1 year out of julliard hes cast in a movie as an international star. It's like a star was over his head , that's why it was so shocking & ironic the guy who played the man of steel who could fly wound up with almost the most serious spinal chord injury u could have breaking the c2 vertebrae. I cant imagine if u break the c1 u probably cant even turn ur head. No joke that is everyone worst nightmare I used to be ok riding horses & bc this happened I wont ride one or let me young kids. I wont ever dive off a board or dive into water period . I wont let my son play football ever. His injury bc I was such a fan scares me about paralysis. I know their are so many ways it can happen to anyone without knowing when or why but I wont do anything that can remotely hurt my neck. I really pray they find a cure. I had hoped chris would find one b4 he passed away. How cruel is life his wife dana passed 18 months later from lung cancer & she never smoked.
Christopher Reeve is the best Superman ever. Times have changed. Today, if you play a super hero; you're not typecast. Superhero movies are now awful. Superman was a very good movie.
You may talk about fore shadowing. As I view this interview 2 July 2024 I thank Google & RUclips for a huge collection of clips from the past. See if can see foreshadowing. It is a trip!
Shannonm75 the metropolis street battle was filmed on the backlot at pinewood. The base of Niagara Falls where Lois jumps in was filmed at Pinewood as well. Only Superman The Movie metropolis scenes were filmed in NYC. I believe the alley mugging scene was filmed at pinewood too.
Jane Seymour admitted her and Christopher Reeve fell madly in love while filming Somewhere in Time. They were going to pursue a romantic relationship with each other. Christopher's ex-girlfriend Gae Exton got pregnant and announced it. That ruined any chance of Jane and Christopher to be together.
Surprisingly, the two most significant romantic relationships this devastatingly handsome man had were with (in my opinion) really ordinary-looking women. They were kind of pretty, but nothing special, and yet he was able to see beyond that.
Almost 50 years since Superman: The Movie.
There will never be a better Superman! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Christopher Reeve is so handsome. His cheekbone is so manly. He's the perfect Superman.
He will always be superman.
Yes, indeed! And, he will also always be Richard Collier too!
He was a genuinely good guy. Honest, hard working, talented,...
No, he was a miserable arse on set, he believed he was most important thing on earth. An arrogant prat.

What a humble man, great interview.
He did more in his short life then most people do in a lifetime. He truly was a super man.
He had a very distinctive look which is why he was perfect for Superman and nobody has got close since, once in a lifetime casting.
True class act. Handsome and charming as hell!
for an ftm, right?
can you believe he was 27 years old here? so excited about everything...
That's one charming, suave individual.
Suave is not what I would say. Thoughtful. Decent. Surprisingly articulate.
Intelligent and dreamy.
Such a genuine, down to earth guy. Hard not to love him.
No better movie than "Somewhere In Time"...a beautiful love story.
I remember seeing it early 1980's being around 11 or 12 yrs old, and i was blown away by the film. Left quite an impact on me at the time.
Loved that film. One of those hidden gems.
This movie had me balling so bad when he returned back without his LOVE..
After losing my SON IN 2022, it hit me so hard that I had anxiety attack..
I love Christopher Reeve such an inspiring SUPER human even through his adversities ..
His purpose on this earth was a blessing to mankind..
I'd sure take care of him if he was my LOVE..
He was very smart and kind. Rest in peace.
Oh my goodness what a delightful man he was truly a Superman.
he was very handsome
for a woman
Very good looking, humble and an all round nice guy. Growing up I wanted to be just like him.
@@FixItYerselfyou think men didn't find him beautiful? 😂
The Best Superman all the time. You will live always in our hearts! Good Heaven Christoper! Rest in peace.
He will always be my Superman--on and off the screen.
I love him. Absolute gent.
Superman 1 & 2 were so Huge at the time
he was so fantastically handsome
Somewhere in time was awesome
The man was in his mid-20s and sounded so articulate.
well he had noble blood, you know. he could conduct himself well in social situations. he could have probably got into politics
Awesome super-human being, ups, human being. Somewhere in time shows how wonderful actor he was. Superb interview.
He was a beautiful man!!!
"Somewhere in Time" was a great movie. R.I.P Christopher.
Impossible not to love. Miss you Superman
Mr Reeve was by far the most intelligent and talented actor to have donned the red cape and play Clark Kent to date. He was Superman.
Wow...when he was saying about the spirit and qualities of a superman..thats him! Such a sad story...;(!
Wow, did not know he'd come to the UK before & studied theatre etc... That shows his dedication & why he was so good.

He’s always going to be my favorite Superman....
There is only one Superman.... Christopher Reeves
Reeve, not Reeves.
Superman will succeed again when the character returns to the principle of being himself...inspiring but not nauseatingly wholesome.
Man, he would have been mobbed on every street in 79. Kids especially loved him.
He said he can't go near an elementary school at 3 pm.
Not only was he an awesome person and still an awesome person in all our hearts, but he was one hell of dad to his children and he will always live forever in their hearts. He seem to me to just be your average every day guy that you wouldn't mind hanging out with and talking to. He will live forever in our hearts with his interviews and movies.

Such a humble, modest and very likable man.
Why oh why didn't he just stay off that horse?
louis borselio I wish he had as well.To be just that nice actor who played Superman.And he would still be here today.
Ellen, Looking back with 20/20 hindsight I'm surprised no one said "Hey you're to big to be on a horse for steeple chase. Your weight will hamper the horse's performance".
Yes looking back now he did seem rather not the right build.....just seems like an interesting normal human being who likes to act here.Miss him.
louis borselio In an interview shortly after his accident, Barbara Walters asked if he was mad at the horse. He said, ‘no.’
A horse rider commented about Reeve's situation, he said that that could've happened to any rider, at any time.
As he said, he had gliders, these are ones with no engine. Brave man.

Very good looking. RIP.
In real life he sounded more like Clark Kent than Superman. But who doesn't? Great man.
Superman II was great
He definitely was Superman. Love how he did his trade by putting the hard work in saving his money up and coming over to Britain to study the theatre actors.
Cavill, Rough, Welling, Hoechlin, they may be good, but Reeve will always be the greatest. He understood Superman. Great man.
He was the most "adult" adult man ever
tuoi film migliori di tutti i supermen...grande uomo
He truly loved and knew the character
According to various sources, neither Sarah Douglas or Jack O'Halloran got on with Christopher Reeve during the filming of "Superman II."
I know he’s up there in a wonderful place call Heaven.
Every director/writer attempting to make/write a Superman film nowadays, should listen to Christopher Reeve talk about the character in this interview. Wow.... the insight on the guy! And he was not even 30!! 3:09

Wow! Reeve is the best!
Insightful
Thank you for posting this.
I just love him! May he rest in peace.
Thank you for sharing!
The best Superman model all time, for me.
A class act and one that is sadly found in life today.
He was such an interesting guy. I just watched "Somewhere In Time." I really enjoyed it! RIP Christopher. 💐
A humble gifted wonderful man... Heaven bound in Jesus name xxxx

He was so gorgeous back then. I was 15 and just figuring out my sexuality. Pretty much came out as a gay teen with Christopher as my first man crush.
😂😂😂😂🐸🐸🐸
Christopher Reeve is the best Superman ever. Times have changed. Today, if you play a super hero; you're not typecast. Superhero movies are now awful. Superman was a very good movie.
Christopher Reeve comes across as a really decent guy. And they chose the wrong Richard for Superman II.
He said it himself that he was adventurous! He probably wouldn't have wanted his life any other way.
: ) Such a great guy.
Chirstoperrevre. Is. Still. Super man
Christopher Reeve = Superman
Yeah Jane semor is so pretty!
and she's still gorgeous to this day.
It's actually spelled Seymour. I met her at Disneyland for a book signing. I will never forget it. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Really great interview. Bu man lol, ths was definitely before NDA's were in place. Sure, here's the plot.

Filmed Superman 2 in London? I thought it was New York and Canada. Weird. Must have done interior shots there.
