Olivier was the greatest actor that the UK and/or Ireland ever produced but O'Toole was our greatest movie star. Apart from his obvious theatrical skills, he knew *HOW* to be famous, how to shine, how to talk and charm and divert, how to *be himself* at a starry level that brought joy and made him impossible to dislike or envy. His business was art but also FUN and he made it look effortless. He was also a beautiful writer. His bio is not to be missed.
The camera loves this TITAN of a man. The eloquence, grandeur, compassion and fortitude is personified with great sense of the IRISH spirit. We Thank you Mr. Peter O’ Toole. Long Live THE KING.
Peter O'Toole, RIP Great Man. Richard Harris RIP and Richard Burton RIP. All had diction, clarity and precision of speech that dwarf the cacaphony of strangulated vowels and dropped consonants of most modern actors.
Sarah Bowles being British there was always an attraction to the UK accent and I think the 2 UK Subjects with the best voices and by best I mean the ones I Wish I had were Peter O’Toole And Boris Karloff
A class act......a master of the English language(even though a proud Irishman)..... I shall have a drink this evening in Mr. O'toole's honour......and watch Lawrence of Arabia....
Dear lord this generation today is in such need of great actors who are so articulate and who express themselves with such grace. Sadly such considered intelligent speaking is rare to none existent in today's world.
I mean no disrespect, but it's wonderful to see him sober, rested and present in an interview. So many interviews, especially on US late night talk shows, feature a distracted, mumbling and clearly drunkenly exhausted man trying to keep up with a press tour for one project or another. Love this interview.
I highly recommend this interview. Despite his old age, he is so lucid, present (and, of course, sober) and is clearly having the time of his life, certainly helped in part by Robert Osborne’s calming demeanor and insightful questions. ruclips.net/video/DMl_npzvsZU/видео.html
I'm finding out so much about Peter O'Toole that I really love. He was such an honest man & has an absolute command of his language. Holds his own space at all times.
If you have not read O'Toole's "Loitering with Intent", I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Very inspirational to me personally, and for actors, I should think!
It is sad to hear Peter is gone. My name is Peter as well, and we Peters have to stick together. He is famous for his roles: Laurence of Arabia, Caligula, Troy, Venus and the Lion in Winter. Peter had always inspired me as a artist and everytime he had a new movie I rushed to see it. He is more than a legend, a colossal talent that comes every so generation. His generation was my father's and my father introduced me to Peter's work. His work will always live on, and may he rest in peace, the prince of Connemara
He was confidently silent and assured and let Rose hurl his questions without feeling he had to juice the conversation with Rose. Brilliant guy, for sure.
Just noticing the silences in the interview where Peter is thinking about and formulating the answer to Charlie's question. He seems a very thoughtful man.
He does that many times in interviews I’ve seen. Really considers the question before answering. That’s not done very often by interviewed people these days when everything is always rushed.
He had a great sense of humor and was a fantastic storyteller. I never saw him like this, taciturn, reticent but not inaccessible. I could listen to him forever. He was wonderful.
He was wonderful, I feel like his death is a loss to us all, even those who don't know him. He resembles O.Wilde, somehow, doesn't he? Both people I like. Life gives and life takes. I truly hope he will be remembered for a very long time, because I fear people like him will be hard to find. Than again, what do I know.
I enjoyed this and thanks for posting it - I enjoy most POT interviews but this is different as he is more serious and gives more history as to how he got started.
Dear Maestro O'Toole, I love and admire you intangibly. You have inspired me to begin my Arab studies and to study British Hx, though I became a doctor. Your genius never ceases to amaze me!. I remember your first film, now! Now how on earth to you play cricket? I am from the USA.
I think he was just a bit annoyed since the dude was just repeating himself, i mean for fuck sucks ITS PETER O'TOOLE, of course he wouldn't change a damn thing about his career.
There have been some very fine actor autobiography writers. Peter O'Toole ranks with the best of them. You have only to listen to him here to understand why. He had an inate and considered love of language and the way in which it can be used. Marvelous!
At 11 minutes he goes quiet as he realises Charlie is digging into his string of affairs. The silence is a signal to Charlie - "you'll get nothing more out of me until you change the subject."
Rose talks too much like most American chat show hosts, with 2 great exceptions: Dick Cavett and Johnny Carson. No surprise what Rose has been discovered to be: a womanising narcissist.
I would have loved to hear more on his fondness for the book Martin Eden. It's probably the only book I have read more than 3 times. Each time a pleasure. Surprises me how few people have even heard of Jack London, let alone this specific book title. Well anyway, Peter O'Toole, what a gifted man he was.
It is such a relief to see O'Toole sober. Other appearances on TV he was obviously under the influence and unable to speak intelligibly. This appearance, he is full of substance, he is enlightening, he is - great. And Charlie Rose's questions are well taken and pointed.
*O, I LOVE HOW NAUGHTY PETER & RICHARD HARRIS WAS!* HE HAD SUCH A FULL LIVE AND DID MUCH FOR THE MOVIES!!! WISH I COULD JUST SIT AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING HE HAS TO TELL! *HIS LIFE MUST OF BEEN SO INTERESTING!!!*
Ultimessence-Your comments on so called interviewers are spot on. For years I have suffered thinking about LOST time and chances to get the most out of an interview. Unfortunately, it is a lost art. Sad, sad, sad. Thanks for your comments. They made my day.
It is only in movies of epic thematic proportion such as'Lawrence, which can credibly display and highlight,in their own right,the magnificent talent and skill,arrayed in this production.O'toole,Sharif and Quinn,in combination with the Vision of David Lean,inspire a result which is nothing less than spectacular.We shall miss,with more than mere sorrow,them and the other greats,recently Gone,who contributed so much to our enjoyment of cinematic splendor.
To me this is one of the best interviews of Peter O'Toole out there. Not least, as an artist, I am most inspired by what he gives us here. Other interviews about getting drunk and having fun are, okay, a bit of fun to watch but I tire of them. Not this though. ♡
There are people in this world, very small in number, whose lives are lived so fully that justice dictates they tell their story & stories over two or more volumes. Some among them overestimate both their import and impact, their florid boastings likely driven solely by commerce. Peter O'Toole was not one of the latter group. Indeed, if mundanity ever crept around the edges of his life, he would drag it downstage centre and cajole it to dance.
11:04 ff is extraordinary. O'Toole's self-assured quiet almost rattles Rose, who intuits not to pursue this but to quickly conclude that line of inquiry, realizing O'Toole would not bite at the bait. Yes, Charlie, that's "pretty good," the honest self-appraisal of an intelligent, clever, well-spoken man who was one of the great actors of the century.
One seldom sees such a remarkable sense of self, composure, and wit that is exercised by Mr. O'Toole. Charlie is merely being Charlie; whereas Mr. O'Toole is being Charlie's father, grandfather, senior uncle, and elderly, but miscreant, friend. Note; he never becomes "Lawrence" nor dwells on it. He "plays" Charlie back on himself. Very well done. Although they cannot be shown, I'm certain there were puddles underneath Charlie's chair.
I believe Charlie Rose is too arrogant to realize when he was in the presence of greatness! He was CONSTANTLY trying to one-up him. Take the question of "any regrets?" HOW DARE he disbelieve him! "That's hard to believe!" INDEED!
Peter O Toole was not the perfect human being by any stretch of the imagination. He was wild and drank a lot and I'm sure he was never the greatest of husbands. But what he had was class and humility. And he is fascinating to listen to in every interview. He was a self professed socialist too like every good irish man. I just love listening to him talk. And remember he left school at 13 years of age. A remarkable man. RIP
Martin Eden! Wow. One of my favorites too and shocked as it is so unknown for a Jack London book, then again I can see why it made him an actor as it delves deeply into the soul. Supposed to be some sort of a biography or such, hence the initials ME.
This is how interviewees should comport themselves. Not prattling on at high speed in a flurry of banal superficialities, but thinking about answers, not being afraid of pauses, and knowing that silence and a simple gesture like a nod can be more eloquent than words.
On viewing "Laurence', Noel Coward approached O'Toole at a party. 'Did you like it?' asked Peter. 'My dear' replied Noel, 'If you'd been any prettier, it would have been 'Florence of Arabia.''
that is devastating. He was always faithful to her (that recent book about him claiming he had thousands of affairs was complete made-up nonsense with no credible evidence, and his family nearly filed a lawsuit over it). Instead of doing the right thing and leaving him when she felt the marriage was over for her, she cheated on him in a 4-year affair and broke his heart, the most unforgivable thing anyone can do to a partner. They never spoke to each other again and he never remarried. He hardly ever talked about her in public, but for him to refer to her as his widow, that indicates a part of him died when they split and he never stopped loving her in spite of everything.
Though it appears Peter is being difficult, making Charley work hard to get him to answer, I applaud Peter for standing strong to The shallowness of Charley's interview style. Although CR has smart guests and is known for his deeper probing questions, he is impatient and is notorious for interrupting his guests and tailing over them, a bit like a higher brow Tom Snyder. PO doesn't let himself get buffaloed into that crass method of giddy, shouting repartee, so he stands strong. Here here!
Charlie Rose is part of this new generation of interviewers, where the interviewer is the star. They try to eclipse the guest, all the time. It's very irritating when the viewers are primarily interested in the guest, and the interviewer keeps interjecting and adding his own comments and creaking and groaning oneupmanship on intelligent comments. I always, correctly, perceived Charlie as a smartass. Larry King was better in that he kept his ego out of the picture, and the focus was on the guest. Here, O'Toole plays him cleverly by staving him off with the long pauses. Still, Charlie's questions are sometimes idiotic, and it's clear O'Toole remains in the driver's seat despite the tired flippancy of the interviewer.
And it is INFURIATING that Charlie Rose never even realizes how dumb he looks! He should have to sit in a child's chair with a sucker and crayons, to interview such a giant!
You look at 'Venus' (edited THANK YOU) (his last starring role and Oscar nom) and there's a moment before he walks into the room containing the eponymous chav-girl and this stooped and sagging old man turns to the camera and *draws himself together and up* his eyes start to glitter and this scarecrow, through nothing but the power of his charisma *becomes Peter O'Toole*
I've adored Peter O'Toole since I was 12. A great loss. He was the real deal.
No he sucked
Olivier was the greatest actor that the UK and/or Ireland ever produced but O'Toole was our greatest movie star. Apart from his obvious theatrical skills, he knew *HOW* to be famous, how to shine, how to talk and charm and divert, how to *be himself* at a starry level that brought joy and made him impossible to dislike or envy. His business was art but also FUN and he made it look effortless.
He was also a beautiful writer. His bio is not to be missed.
He was my favorite from the first time the sun rose off the desert in the opening scenes of Lawrence of Arabia.
What a finely articulated description.
Thank you.
Beautifully written
A mighty oak has fallen. RIP Peter. Possibly the only actor ever to be more colorful off screen than on it.
The camera loves this TITAN of a man. The eloquence, grandeur, compassion and fortitude is personified with great sense of the IRISH spirit. We Thank you Mr. Peter O’ Toole. Long Live THE KING.
His father was Irish his mother Scots and he was born in Leeds. How is he Irish ?
Peter O'Toole, RIP Great Man. Richard Harris RIP and Richard Burton RIP. All had diction, clarity and precision of speech that dwarf the cacaphony of strangulated vowels and dropped consonants of most modern actors.
O'Toole had a unique voice (obvious) and was laconic despite being a "hell-raiser"
And Oliver Reed RIP
O'Toole and Burton in BECKET...........celestially brilliant performances.
Very well put, Bill!
Them, James Mason, Cary Grant....
His voice is perfect
A true genius laced with wit and humour - what a beautiful and enticing mixture
he does, indeed have a lovely voice. He's one of those men who could read the phone book and make it sound good
What a command he has in any interview. Beyond charming.
The interview was interesting but I only clicked on the video to listen to that lovely voice.
Sarah Bowles being British there was always an attraction to the UK accent and I think the 2 UK Subjects with the best voices and by best I mean the ones I Wish I had were Peter O’Toole And Boris Karloff
@@fleetadmiralperry5739 He was Irish, not british
@@thomasmanning1891 every biography states he was born and raised in Leeds.
A class act......a master of the English language(even though a proud Irishman).....
I shall have a drink this evening in Mr. O'toole's honour......and watch Lawrence of Arabia....
Him on being Irish you can't beat that feeling .
Peter O Toole had the most beautiful speaking voice I have ever heard in my opinion for stage and film
I will always love you Mr. O'Toole!
RIP Peter, and thank you for your wonderful performances. I am going to miss you, but I'll always have your movies to see.
A great man. Satisfied by his life without any regret. You can’t ask for more than that.
Ahhhh the nice low HISSSSSS of a Vhs recording.. how i have missed you.
Both my parents are from Kerry,I started school in Kerry,I will never forget my time spent roaming the hills and the fields........
Dear lord this generation today is in such need of great actors who are so articulate and who express themselves with such grace. Sadly such considered intelligent speaking is rare to none existent in today's world.

RIP you beautiful sumptuous wondrous man!
What a wonderful person. Wonderful voice and a great narrator.
Besides, a great sense of humor
I love how Peter just slightly nods his head or shakes it like he's not giving anything away, he is so cute!
This dude is G O L D. 🔥
He was very good at being silent. Mesmerising man.
Outstanding sober focus by O'Toole. An enormously talented man.
I love how O Toole leads the interview. He stops his responses just short, forcing Charlie to dig deeper. Pretty cool.
Mr. O'Toole is a consummate subscriber of the art of language. He was never hurried.
Also, notice how silent Charlie is when o’toole is speaking.
I'm finding out so much about Peter O'Toole that I really love. He was such an honest man & has an absolute command of his language. Holds his own space at all times.
If you have not read O'Toole's "Loitering with Intent", I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Very inspirational to me personally, and for actors, I should think!
Absolutely legendary titan of the silver screen. Utterly phenomenal as LAWRENCE. Astounding in BECKET with the masterful Richard Burton.
I MET PETER OTOOLE ONCE!
WHAT A JOKER! COMPLETELY HILARIOUS!
It is sad to hear Peter is gone. My name is Peter as well, and we Peters have to stick together. He is famous for his roles: Laurence of Arabia, Caligula, Troy, Venus and the Lion in Winter.

Burn in hell u POS U AINT SHIT
Rip to the great Peter O' Toole
Up in the heavens.,..may you Rest in Peace , Peter O'Toole
be proud of that on my headstone.
His performances, his presence-- promises a keen sense of life. Dearly missed.
One of my favorite actors, one of the best of his generation RIP
Loved all of these interviews. O'Toole was brilliant every time he was on. My parents we lucky to see him in the West End.
older actors have a different and varied background, they worked hard and paid dues and appreciated their success
He was confidently silent and assured and let Rose hurl his questions without feeling he had to juice the conversation with Rose. Brilliant guy, for sure.
We call that: "Couldn't get a word in edgewise."
Just noticing the silences in the interview where Peter is thinking about and formulating the answer to Charlie's question. He seems a very thoughtful man.
***** what a good comment! poor, old interviewers, indeed.

Rose knows the magic of asking inane questions and then interrupting the answers. The man gets on my nerves.

miss Peter a lot, so funny, gifted, and amazing
Great Interview from a great man interviewing a legend. 11:00- 11:37 is the most important part of the interview.
Dear Maestro O'Toole, I love and admire you intangibly. You have inspired me to begin my Arab studies and to study British Hx, though I became a doctor. Your genius never ceases to amaze me!. I remember your first film, now!
Now how on earth to you play cricket? I am from the USA.
PETER WAS THE GOAT OF ACTING - THE BEST THE WORLD LOVED HIM - AND OF COURSE AN IRISH MAN R I P PETER
Simply Lovely
He says a lot without actually saying a lot. 11:04 - 11:34 is powerful.
I think he was just a bit annoyed since the dude was just repeating himself, i mean for fuck sucks ITS PETER O'TOOLE, of course he wouldn't change a damn thing about his career.
Mr O'Toole..you described my Da too.RIP
He was amazing in Troy what a great actor RIP.
R.I.P. There aren't many left of that generation of actors -- Sean Connery, Christopher Plummer, Ian McKellan, Michael Gambon.
good upload, well worth the time,,,
"Are you as good as you wanted to be?"
"Yeah."
Not delivered arrogantly, but honestly. I love that he knew how good he was.
As long as other people have talent, Charlie Rose will be on the air.
Well that comment didn't date too well.
One of the all time greats. I miss you!
There have been some very fine actor autobiography writers. Peter O'Toole ranks with the best of them. You have only to listen to him here to understand why. He had an inate and considered love of language and the way in which it can be used. Marvelous!
O'Toole wanted on his epitaph: "It distresses us to return work that is not perfect."
That's right! Got it off a dry cleaning bag I think 😂
He had a bloodied, Guinness stained leather jacket that needed cleaning. The jacket was returned with a note pinned to it reading that quote.
At 11 minutes he goes quiet as he realises Charlie is digging into his string of affairs. The silence is a signal to Charlie - "you'll get nothing more out of me until you change the subject."

King.
Loved him in Murphy's War!
An actor a proverbial poet and philosopher. But above all a wonderful human being!
Peter O'Toole was a brilliant actor, and fascinating, superb human being. He was far more colorful than his work.
