@@Alan-J-Mock, I've heard good things about Mark from fellow fans of Ollie. Mark seems like a genuinely nice man and is a credit to his Dad. He is the spitting image of and sounds a lot like his Dad and has always spoken well of his Dad.
Women want him Men want to be like him forgot when I was a kid in the70s my mom took me to see The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday never forget that a true legend
Oliver was the whole package, love him in the early 60s Hammer Films and everything thereafter. His Proximo in Gladiator was a fitting end to a superb actor and human being.
R.I.P Oliver Reed. One of the Truly Great British Actors of all time. Intelligent, Wonderfully Spoken, Sense of Mischief and Humour. Along with Harris, O' Toole and Burton also one of the Greatest Hellraisers.
Not sure I could have handled the hellraising, but you can tell by the performances what an intelligent, eloquent, hard working decent guy he was when sober.
@@newsbender You're not wrong there. Funny enough, I was just thinking earlier today.. I don't think Oliver would have liked the world today. He'd probably have found it very strange, if not ridiculous. Even in the 60s and 70s he always seemed to be a man that would have fit in better in an earlier time.. as he even found many things in the mildly progressive 70s odd, so I can only imagine what he'd have though of the present day. I don't like how the world has ended up.. I look back to these old times and think "I wish I'd have been around in those days.. living in the 70s before everything went wrong." He would have felt very out of place in the current era, with all the social change.. political correctness and mass offended, social media and smartphones.
I live near Broom Hall and when I was a teenager my friend lived there with his family in the 80s/90s when it had been divided 3 or 4 separate, but still, massive houses. There were peacocks painted on the ceiling of the dining room and a well stocked wine cellar. We wood climb out of a top floor window and go onto the flat roof drinking and the like. Enjoyed the video. What unique madman he was. 😂😁
Which would've made him sober for this interview? Pretty sure he quit drinking after Moon's untimely demise. At any rate, there'll never be a other Ollie. RIP
My brother used to drink with ollie years ago in putney and chelsea he used to stand up and say come over here boys and drink with a international filmstar he was such a lovely man my brother said you would be turn round then he was wrestling on the floor with someone 😂😂 one of Englands finest .... love him, great actor and a lovely kind human being god bless him RIP Ollie god knows what he would make of the woke lot today i know what he would say and think 😂
Oliver Reed's intelligence was beyond most people..he was a shy person in real life, but overcame that obstacle in acting.. That is what he loved most in life. A True Gentleman in a World of Corruption.
Blighted my arse, Oliver enjoyed every minute of his life and wouldn't of had it any other way. You have such a narrow minded view of it all with your "blighted" diagnosis of Oliver's career.
Oliver Reed on the talk show tour in the fall of 1978. Pete Townsend and Reeds friend Keith Moon were in USA on the talk show tour GMA appearance that August 7, 1978 Promoting The Who’s new album . It would be Moons last interview. Moon passed away Sept 7, 1978.
For such a character and always breaking the so called rules he spoke so well - not many characters about nowadays - appears to be frowned on now !!! They make life far more interesting!
The most disturbing horror flics of all time was Ollie in the flic The Devils! he really put his all into a story of a character in a medieval flic of torture!! Based on a true story!!😮
This Dear beautiful actor, oliver ...closed by local pub by having a " drink up" with his family and friends after filming " this is your life.... they TOTALLY wreaked, never to be reopened.... The pub was there well known "Red rover" on the upper Richmond Rd
Richard Burton left Britain he said “I made $100.000 after tax he had a new Jaguar $6,000.” It was 96% tax at one point, socialism doesn’t work. Keeping business and the high wealth people in the country by fair tax is better in the long run.
He had great taste in fashion. Very goodlooking. A fabulous personality. Beautiful voice. He was just a bit unpredictable when it came to alcohol..🤷♀️ But sure, aren’t we all😝
@@jaygarrick3984well said. He made films to pay for his estate Broome Hall in Surrey. He turned down Robert Shaw’s parts in Jaws and The Sting because he didn’t want to leave England and be a Hollywood star. I love Oliver Reed and he would have been great in those films, however, Shaw was also brilliant.
Funny, looking back to when Ollie died at 61, some 25 years ago it seemed to me like he wasted so much talent and opportunity. But in fact now that I’m his age I feel as though I’m the one who’s wasted, barely scratching the surface of a middling engineering career, and on the eve of being turfed out by AI. Ollie did at least rack up many great performances that he will be remembered for by millions amongst the well documented shenanigans that he also enjoyed to max 😂
If only hey my friend. Sadly England, and the rest of the island is lost, it will never be great again because we don't have the backbone of yesteryear. We are now the toilet of the world, with shite from all corners of the globe filling it.
That's what they all say. Same with O'Toole, Harris and the likes of Dean Martin. But let's be honest. They all had drinks problems. Which in 1 way, adds to the legend - but in another, the likes of Ollie were taken advantage of. Plied with alcohol in the green room before talkshow appearances, and then sent to make fools of themselves. While the talk show host would tut with false indignation, as if they had no idea what was going on.
Oliver was a true acting powerhouse. Such a talented dude. There will never be another Oliver Reed
Indeed !
His son, Mark, who looks just like him, until recently used to go to the Hand in Hand pub in Wimbledon, just off the common. Superb bloke too.
@@Alan-J-Mock, I've heard good things about Mark from fellow fans of Ollie. Mark seems like a genuinely nice man and is a credit to his Dad. He is the spitting image of and sounds a lot like his Dad and has always spoken well of his Dad.
His performance as Bill Sykes was unforgettable. He rests in my homeland, 🇮🇪
In a graveyard opposite a pub.
Bullseye!
That is ?
You say this like he was a staunch British patriot. Typical cork brown nosing. Mortified haha
What a gorgeous man and intelligent, sensitive human being
Women want him Men want to be like him forgot when I was a kid in the70s my mom took me to see The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday never forget that a true legend
Oliver was the whole package, love him in the early 60s Hammer Films and everything thereafter.
His Proximo in Gladiator was a fitting end to a superb actor and human being.
Whilst recently studying Spanish I became aware that Proximo translated is NEXT.
A fitting name for a champion Gladiator and a Champion Drinker.
Great gladiator and working with Karen Black in that haunted house was great.
R.I.P Oliver Reed.
One of the Truly Great British Actors of all time.
Intelligent, Wonderfully Spoken, Sense of Mischief and Humour.
Along with Harris, O' Toole and Burton also one of the Greatest Hellraisers.
The late and great Oliver Reed.
Not sure I could have handled the hellraising, but you can tell by the performances what an intelligent, eloquent, hard working decent guy he was when sober.
I'd have loved to have a pint with this great actor.
What blood group are you?😂😂
@@jamesparker40 Are you looking for a donor?
I would have loved to have a few things with this man...❤
I will have six with him he will be standing I will be passed out a true legend
Hope ur a bloke otherwise u have to get a drink in the ladies section of a bar
Such a fantastic voice.
Um homem lindo com uma voz linda
Oliver Reed had it all… There’s never been anyone else like him, or ever likely to be sadly. First class 👌🏼
thanks for sharing. intelligent questions provoking intelligent answers. where the funk is this kind of interview nowadays?
RIP Oliver. Passed away 25 years ago today. 2nd May 1999.
In Valleta Malta 🇲🇹
Lucky bastard got out while things were still good and before the craziness began.

The one and only.
Oliver Reed 🥰🥰💕💕💕🌹
Such a passionate orator, and a true patriot. and the most important bit, He could really act.
A great Film Actor and a great interview. All the Best, Ollie
Beleza , talento e inteligencia tudo em um só ator , como nao amar oliver reed?

fabulous stuff
great days love this man
Ollie lost his dear friend Keith Moon two months before this interview. He would've still been heart broken.
Which would've made him sober for this interview? Pretty sure he quit drinking after Moon's untimely demise. At any rate, there'll never be a other Ollie. RIP
The stories of what they got up to sound hilarious surprised theres not been a documentary about them yet
My brother used to drink with ollie years ago in putney and chelsea he used to stand up and say come over here boys and drink with a international filmstar he was such a lovely man my brother said you would be turn round then he was wrestling on the floor with someone 😂😂 one of Englands finest .... love him, great actor and a lovely kind human being god bless him RIP Ollie god knows what he would make of the woke lot today i know what he would say and think 😂
When sober the man oozed charisma. No one could tell a story like him, very engaging, very entertaining and what a great actor he was.
Oliver Reed: "I have two ambitions in life....to drink every pub dry and to sleep with every woman"
I love Oliver Reed ❤
I love him and moon ❤
Oliver Reed's intelligence was beyond most people..he was a shy person in real life, but overcame that obstacle in acting.. That is what he loved most in life. A True Gentleman in a World of Corruption.
its so sad hearing what Oliver is saying as we have lost a lot of our film companies to America now sadly
As an American I apologize for how we've ruined it
There here now! Warner Bros has their studio here…
Brilliant
Proper English man. Very rare these day's
He speaks calmly and reasonably, with facial scars that say the other stuff for him. A true badass, RIP.
good man. praise him. what a hero.
Love Oliver so much. Asked about Britain's future he doesn't talk about Thatcher or post industrial Britain but talks about pirates....so cool
He packed a lot in a short life blighted by alcohol. God bless you RIP.
Blighted my arse, Oliver enjoyed every minute of his life and wouldn't of had it any other way. You have such a narrow minded view of it all with your "blighted" diagnosis of Oliver's career.
The deserved hellraiser reputation distracted from his thoroughly professional work ethic.
When sober, a great interview.
He had it all!!
Very cute there with his cropped hair.Add a moustache: GREEK GOD !!!❤
Not one in a million Oliver was one in a billion guy was class
A real character was Oliver Reed , tough too 👊🏻
Tough as it gets held is own with Marvin Marvin loved him
Legend
Olly was wonderful , he would weep if he saw England now .
Oscar's all around for the livers of O Toole, Harris, Reed and the other hell raisers.
Russell Harty is so precious. Obviously we didn't watch ITV, and watching this clip now, this seems like a good decision
Oliver bares a slight physical reemblance to another wonderful and much loved performer, John Thompson.....'NICE!'
Oh, they are both gorgeous, I concur
Oliver Reed on the talk show tour in the fall of 1978. Pete Townsend and Reeds friend Keith Moon were in USA on the talk show tour GMA appearance that August 7, 1978 Promoting The Who’s new album . It would be Moons last interview. Moon passed away Sept 7, 1978.
Legend were are people like this now 😮
Good times Oliver, Good Times.
For such a character and always breaking the so called rules he spoke so well - not many characters about nowadays - appears to be frowned on now !!! They make life far more interesting!
Russell Harty was a really good interviewer.
sometimes...
A true one off.

A man of Vision.

on the piss with ollie reed oh i wish
2025 what would he think? One of his best interviews I’ve seen him do. ❤. I have a mighty crush on him
7:10 he does such a great American accent
Richard Burton left Britain he said “I made $100.000 after tax he had a new Jaguar $6,000.” It was 96% tax at one point, socialism doesn’t work. Keeping business and the high wealth people in the country by fair tax is better in the long run.
Yes fair tax rather than virtually no tax.
Imagine what he would have thought about the UK tax system now. Everyone I know is leaving.
Seems a fun guy!
he would’ve made one of the James Bonds ever, and it almost happened.
Hartleys body language is so funny. Leaning away and wouldn't look Olly in the eye
I dont drink anymore, but if oliver wanted a drink id go for one.
I want that jacket.
He had great taste in fashion. Very goodlooking. A fabulous personality. Beautiful voice. He was just a bit unpredictable when it came to alcohol..🤷♀️ But sure, aren’t we all😝
17:01.. His friend, Alex Higgins showed him how to snooker people like this.
If he was around now.
Who remember women in love brill film
That cathouse film looked a bit shit
Looked dreadful. A lot of OR's films were shite, but he sure did make some classics, too😀

🐐
He sounds very posh he may have been a drunk but he was a good actor.
He was posh
@@casualchauncey He never sounds any different even when he's acting .
"I was there for the Pakistani-West Indian cricket match" 😅

I disagree, Englishmen will be buccaneers again. Just a matter of time.
If only hey my friend. Sadly England, and the rest of the island is lost, it will never be great again because we don't have the backbone of yesteryear. We are now the toilet of the world, with shite from all corners of the globe filling it.
Its been like that before and will be again. Britain has not yet had its say. @@RSR423
I thought he was Mark Hamil when i first seen the thumbnail
God that movie they played a clip from look really really bad
He was never drunk. It was all an act. All of it.
That's what they all say. Same with O'Toole, Harris and the likes of Dean Martin. But let's be honest. They all had drinks problems. Which in 1 way, adds to the legend - but in another, the likes of Ollie were taken advantage of.

Yeah no.
The press were C and they still are and still always be C.
He was a great entertainer / actor but not always very pleasant after a few too many sherbets .
12:08 mmmm...now what does that look mean?? I've read he turned her down
The impressive thing about OR is that he can talk such nonsensical BS with a completely straight face 😂
My god is kind of insane
Whos watching this .. drunk as fk
One eyed open
A badger isn't bald
Intelligent - person - drinker - NOT 'LISTENED TO.'
I feel so sorry for people that can pay ridiculous amounts of tax and still afford a 53 bedroom mansion. It's criminal.
Harty is NOT HEARTY AT ALL AND SUPER RUDE
Was Harty gay
Did Reed like to drink?😂😂
Was the pope catholic?
Who Cares
He was.
And mmmmm what a kisser. Golden memories
Raging 😂
Javier Bardem, that is all I will say😂
Robbie Williams double 😂
He's a cross of Robbie Williams and Ross kemp
@@Mrleejunman never. Ian dury maybe...
I like Oliver. 😂
Clearly his best and final was gladiator
He was brilliant in Oliver, The Devils and Women in Love.
