1985: Jeff Cohen on playing Chunk in THE GOONIES | Wogan | Classic Movie Interviews | BBC Archive

- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2021
- Eleven-year-old Jeff Cohen, one of the young stars of the beloved 1980s children's action-adventure comedy The Goonies, discusses meeting Steven Spielberg ("just another Jewish boy") and impresses Terry Wogan with his impersonations of Louis Armstrong and Mae West.
Terry Wogan - that beloved BBC institution and future Knight of the Realm and Freeman of Limerick - mocks the child's physique and threatens to beat him up. We're pretty sure he was joking, but it's fair to say that this is an interview very much "of its time". How could you Sir Terry?!

Jeff aged 11 gave a better interview than most adults.
Real
💯💯💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
He must be one of the most switched on kids ever. And being a child star didn't mess him up, so very rare. He's a successful attorney now. (Ridiculous questions about his weight)
And that comment about needing his help with some food eating... Classless.
Him being attorney helped Ke Huy Quan back into movies
Him in Everything Everywhere All At Once was amazing
“No I’m into salads and aerobics” GODDAMN excellence
Hahahahahaha it took me a few seconds to realize that it was sarcasm. 🤭🤣 It's amazing how smart, charismatic and funny that boy was, only 11 years old. Wow. 👏👏👏
Hysterical and witty. Shame he didn’t do more movies back then.
R.I.P chunk back then.
He got out at the right time… some of his fellow child actors had alcohol and drug problems. it’s disgusting to hear how some of these young actors were abused and manipulated.
He was a quick witted kid. Especially around the awful remarks and jokes about his weight.
He's very fit now and a lawyer.
Definitely not Terry#d finest moment :-(
It was the 80's, you could say crap like that then.
What an amazingly smart kid, all his answers are pure gold, and he was only 11 at the time? Crazy! Who can't love this child?
The charisma is off the chart
Jeff would've been a natural comedian in his prime at this young age. Now, he is a Hollywood Lawyer and still have a sense of humor. It's sad he quit acting, but smart to leave the industry and stayed in the realm.
It ain’t sad he quit acting. Hollywood is disgusting and they abuse children
What a character.
He is very clever and charismatic.
What an amazingly funny, charismatic kid he was. He’s a lawyer now 😕
Well that's not a bad thing
Came here after Ke Quan won the Oscar’s. I am so glad we have a video of this. He was so quick witted.
He just killed the interviewer. 'What do you eat?' 'Food' foo..cki..ng hilarious, Jeff killed him few times during interview. I wish to see him in more movies, especially when he was a kid. 'Steven found me' hahaha talking about Steven Spielberg being his friend.
no one kills tezza wogan
Aww, I just fell in love with him all over again.
I hope you're a girl being mothering.
Chunk, you're gonna stay with Kari now. Cause she loves ya.
Lol that was funny AF 😂😂😂 And the Goonies was brilliant..Goonies Never Say Die 👊👊
Smart, funny, charismatic kid! I bet he's very entertaining in the courtroom now!
“Chunk… Captainnnnn Chunk” 💀
The Kids sharper than the interviewer
Still one of the best family movies and Jeff was a big part of the goonies being the best
This is a golden interview, he’s another Ali.
“No, I’m into salad and aerobics.”
Wow, what a natural. So quick on his feet. Better than most grown up actors, comedians & improvisation stars put together.
Sought this out after watching a Minty Video on ''The Goonies''.
This dude is great!
Hehe, me too👍Dude's a lawyer now😅
@@Skelta75 Same :)
Same!
Same here 😁😁
Here, here! I'm here thanks to Minty Comedic Arts!
Jeff Cohen was a young celebrity guest at 11 years old on the charades game show, Body Language teen week with host (the late) Tom Kennedy. That was years ago before he became an attorney.
Jeff should have been a standup comedian👏🏻
Talents👐🏻
This kid was incredible! The Mae West impersonation 👌
He absolutely nailed it!
This was an amazing surprise. What a blessed man.
Wow….this kid was seriously talented
loved this interview
Adorable kid haha
He looks like he could have been another Robin Williams type ☺
Lucky escape.
He’s funnier.
Fun fact: when he went to UC Berkeley and ran for student union president his platform was literally “I played chunk in the goonies”
Wow so much energy!
Let’s be honest! Are you on cocaine, Adderall or just your natural self in this interview ?Either way, one hell of an interview! Where did you go? You are amazing of an entertainer! It’s never to late to make a come back! You are that talented 💯
M8, wicked 🥰😅
In addition to being a lawyer now, he is no longer obese, in fact he is thin, unlike the protagonist Sean Astin, who is quite fat today.
One smart kid. 🥇
Jeff is a great kid.
Darn, that kid sure knew how to deal with a nauseating Wogan
My favourite film ever.
Did he grow up to be Bert Kreischer?
He grew up to be a Lawyer. He was on Josh Adam Meyres "The 500" podcast last year.
No Donald Trump
The Goonies the best movie of the 80s pop-culture.
"he found me lying in the gutter" lmaooo
Jeff is a legend of interviews, putting up with a not so good Tony B. I love Tony but he clearly had some adjustments to do, which is ironic since he's interviewing a like 14 year old. Still i love both of these guys, rip Tony. Good job Jeff, helf his own, not only that did it in an awesome way. Guess is it was a different time.
All true - it’s impressive that Jeff was actually 11 here, he comes off as super intelligent for his age. What’s even more impressive is he was probably only 10 while filming the goonies…
You mean Terry right?
11 going on 45.😂😂🤣🤣
wow! what a genial boy!
For your kind information he is now an attorney.
Cool kid.
Also, WTF was Wogan doing interrogating a child about his weight on TV
Yeah no kidding. His response was absolutely classic though.
It's rather off colour but arguably Wogan gets credit for asking questions that the home audience want to be asked but wouldn't dare.
Plus he threatened to beat him up at the end of the interview 😂
it’s insane innit he handled it so well
The Goonies joked about Chunk's weight constantly.
Jeff Cohen is now 50! 😮
He didn't even do the truffle shuffle 💀
Like people who love making other people happy and laugh :)
I still can’t believe he grew up to play Ardeth Bay in The Mummy
Inspiration for Jonah Hill's Benihana sketch on SNL
Wogan was a bit insulting there he should have asked about his wig 🤪
it's never occurred to me that someone below the age of 70 could be called jeff
🤯
Well, I'm guessing a lot of things don't occour to you. Wtf are you even talking about?
@@DanJackson1977that’s what I want to know as well! Batshit
Wouldn't mind a up to date gonnies for kids now a days!
Quinton Tarantino's final film.
Goonies Never Say Die.
@@Flint-Dibble-the-Don original
Chunk!!! Rocky Road!!! Baby Ruth!!!
Where can i find that hat!!
He should have grown up to become Chris Farley, because they are cut from the same pie.
Where is he now did he do another film
He stopped acting and became an entertainment lawyer.
Wogan was out of his depth with this one
Can you upload Paula Abdul on Wogan please?
What a talented young kid. So funny and held his own. The host's comments and harping on food/weight subject with a young kid was appalling. Jeff handled it like a pro. That would never fly today.
You do realise that him being fat at the time was the Characters main point. No, what is a shame is everybody treats kids like delicate objects today but Jeff did handle like a pro. Todays kids would run to mum to sue and cry fat phobia. Pathetic.
By today's standards, he's probably not even considered fat.@@Isclachau
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Showing up ol' Terry for his moronic questions. He did brilliantly.
He's more healthy as a 48 year old!!
He seems completely different now.
Very polite Mr instead of first
I just wish attorney Jeff Cohen could have saved Macaulay Culkin from being exploited by Hollywood.
🍔🌭🍕🍟🤮 love him 🤮🍟🍕🌭🍔
(3:20) Jeff, well done.
Terry.. Woe, again.
Why was he being so rude about his weight 😂
So Chunk wasn't a character. That's actually who he is. lol
The interview was very good, but I think he shouldn't have insisted so much on the food and his overweight, I think the man crossed the line a little.
Jezus
1:01 SUEVE ME!!!!!!
bjhu
Horrible to bring up his weight…😢 but he brushed it off like a pro
How extremely rude to fat shame him the entire interview at the age of 11.
Grow up. Kids then handled that through words. Todays kids cry to mummy.
Nice job laughing at a little boys weight
ADHD?
No
This has to be one of the most cringe contrived things I've ever seen.
I'ts
donald
trump
Terry wogan was disgusting in this interview
Only thing disgusting is your attitude.
Who is that terrible host? Obviously forgotten as a jerk,.
What an unbearable little tyke
Terry was hardly little. Definitely unbearable though
Doin the *TRUFFLE SHUFFLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
