Bourdain had no clinical mental illness. He is the product of the modern deracinated man; a nihilist. No structured family, Bourdain lived only for material wealth and fame. In the end, this lifestyle is empty and meaningless. Cosmopolitan socialites, like Bourdain, are the last people of which to take life advice.

Thank you for your kind and nice comment and addressing his death considering this video is a positive and motivational one (and done REALLY well btw...I often refer to it when I am feeling discouraged, stuck or at odds with myself). Everyone likes to speculate but the truth is, as fans, we didnt know the man personally and what he was going through. Its hard with anthony because in a way we DO feel like we know him because he expressed and put so much of himself out there in his productions and books especially. His death is tragic and everyone should really scale back and stop speculating, believing that and opinions as fact, and do the best thing you can do in a situation like this which would be soak in all the positivity and inspiration he had offered up, and take something from the tragic circumstance itself and take some more time of your day to share positivity, check up on and get to know your loved ones better. Life is fleeting, we ALL have our time. Make it count and dont take things and your people for granted. Be AVAILABLE to and for them. Ppl put so much time and effort into their work and hobbies but often never put that much time and work into others. Lastly, just remember, every one is worth saving.

being his heart broken by Asia Argento has nothing to do with mental illness. he has been open about his depression and had tried everything to overcome it. i believed that him knowing her cheating days prior his death had triggered his depression to the extend that he killed himself.

@margaret gust, just add the prefix "dis" and suffix "ing" on your name, would show the kind of person you really are. this guy is an icon, had touched so many lives but you had done nothing in your life or someone else's lives.

I'm sure we will fing another deranged lunatic who wanted white genocide and to poision the president.

His modesty and humility. Not many like him.

We all need to say this to ourselves, especially now. Thank you

That was mind-blowing when I figured that one out, that the world is full of people doing the best they can. We’re all too hard on each other. And ourselves, especially.

You got this

Stay alive and keep fighting

Never give up on you! You're the only one you can trust! You're strong and valuable

Keep going, bro

Keep going and keep busy you ain’t alone. You got this 🙂…

Yes!!

It would look great too he has that face

My exact thoughts :)

He would have hated the music and the footage.

Agree!!! And its so fucking irritating... even the music...

Money

Yeah super weird.

Interesting ?...I didnt hear the music till you pointed it out? !? That's kinda creepy? Tje subtleness ... of the music !

Injection of dramatic music can truly be annoying while focusing on the story. So many documentaries get currupted by docu-drama tactics. Yes docu- drama . Pick one, instead of blending the two together.

Boo fuckn who.

Takes away from authenticity and makes it sound more like a sales pitch.AB would have preferred The Ramon's in the background.

I make music for a living and %100 agree.

brings tears to my eyes.

I feel you bro.....lifes hecktick sometimes I also suffered from substance abuse and mental illness makes you nonfunctional sometimes ...makes life real hard ..I wish you the best stay strong my friend

That's nice of you to thank him for shooting heroin getting more tattoos to cover up the needle marks and then committing suicide oh thank you for doing that Tony thank you for everything

Do yourself a favour, if you havr troubles with alcohol and drugs don't get into cooking professionally, I just quit after 20 years it only makes the drugs and booze come more easilt, especially after a 14 hour shift on the stove. 😳

I don't normally cry over celebrity deaths, but this was one that did hit me in a way I never thought possible.

Yeah. This one and Robin Williams.

He was an amazing human

Same here.

I was just going to say the same thing, Melody. It was something about those eyes of his (Robin Williams). There was a genuine kindness in them.

was it shot in KL?

Edgar Chávez i couldn’t agreed more mate!

then maybe you should read his book - medium rare. definitely a page turner

I think he is interviewing himself.

KILLER aphorism, THANK YOU!

The Mad Flatter brilliant!

EXQUISITE!!👏👏👏🙏⭐️😎

Well put sir,

Who’s quote is that?

Tony had a good heart for people and never pretended to be something that he was not. He was a tell like it is kind of guy and that made his shows so interesting to watch. He will be missed by many around the world!

Marie Lillianne ☺

I sincerely miss him too, but I think it's in poor taste for the poster to reuse FastCompany's interview lazily here.

It's breath, not "breathe."

He was atheist... where do you think he is?

@@JohnSmith-uy7svhe’s dead. We don’t get to say where he is. Especially you

@@sbanats where did I say he was at? The question was for anyone to raise awareness. It's your decision.His earthly body is dead as all of ours will be one day. The question is were will our spiritual body be at for all eternity? What does your belief say he is at and why? The lake of fire on judgement day with satan and all of his followers and for all of those who have never accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of their Sins or in Heaven with Gods love and in the presence of Jesus Christ who died for us on the Cross? "for the wages of Sin is death, BUT... the FREE gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord." "for no one is righteous , no not one."

So u think he’s spirit is in hell?

@@sbanats I don't think anything. I'm not God. as Christians we are to witness to save others. not to judge or say where anyone is at. He could have accepted Jesus Christ as he was dying. Only God knows the last moments of our lives before we die.

Being a pimp is a legend in your mind? Your taste is too low!

You really his daughter

It still hurts my heart!

shri sub reread that comment

Not by sane people

How u doing these days?

Hope you are doing ok ? X

All my heroes have pretty much done so... I feel it almost necessary not elaborate any further.

To paint the most vibrant of portraits you must not be afraid to dwell in darkest of colors. But yes, each to their own. Cheers

Suicide is absolutely the most selfish act a human is capable of. I'll hold it against him... but he also did, vicariously, add some fantastic whimsy to my life. Feel free to judge him by his final brush strokes, it is your right to do so. If he didnt want you to do so, then he should have stuck around. I simply feel I knew him longer (or owe him) to look at the rest of the picture.

You don't have heroes that risk enough, if that's the case.

A genuine family man is always a hero to somebody... I dont think we need to disgrace others to prove that point.

It still hurts!

I agree!!

It’s storytelling

It's really annoying. This same interview is floating around here but sans the puffery.

Cody Murphy nobody needs to ask it’s a KZfaq comment section you clown.

When you can't figure out that it's to prevent copywriting

gourmet cavewoman your brother libes on in heaben.

If you want them to stay, be better, and demand better from others. Begging, pleading, and creating and maintaining a dimension of need doesn't justify their suffering. They need to go, more than ever. Stop using them, and they'll stop leaving you.

God bless you my friend. R.I.P

Second Opinion that’s how we all should be-open to all kinds of cultures. We are more alike than different

Second Opinion 🙏🏻 Blessings

Seldom have I heard truer and more sincere words spoken. Such tremendous insight. A humanitarian in the truest sense of the word. Anthony Bourdain was an immediately recognizable and highly transcending figure of televison. You are sorely missed friend. From here to infinity.

Ikr??

You don’t actually know him or his life.

I agree I don't believe that he committed suicide. I think he knew something about someone or got footage of something that was sensitive material to some country or "Group" who finished him off. For years I thought he had been doing the Food show for the EYES of some Government Agencies. Because he was able to get into really volatile areas with a camera crew. Under the guise of shooting a "Food Show" he had more access than any agency employee. Plus he did have problems with the IRS and Drug enforcement agency and they can be very persuasive when they NEED your help! So today would have been Anthony's 64 Birthday and I'm here wishing my Brother Fire Monkey were still alive to Wish him a happy and long life. Instead I'm wondering what Agency took him down and what or who for. Epstein mysteriously hung himself too. Wonder what he knew that might have come out? Someone has "A Firm" grip on lips that could sink ships, nothing like keeping a Stiff Upper Lip when thing's get thick, Eh! Rest in Peace Anthony Bourdain some day the Truth will come out and your reputation will be shining. ✌❤🙏

The problem with depression is that for many it is well hidden. Nobody killed Anthony. He took his own life because he could not go on with this life. His past heavy drug use could of unbalanced his brain chemistry. Sometimes mental illness does not show its true colours.i think he kept it well hidden. Just because he had fame, money, etc meant that he was “content” in his life. Many people who commit suicide are always surrounded by family and friends who love them. The only way for them to subdue their pain is to end their pain. we will never really know why they do this to themselves.

That's Soo awesome what was it like? And what was the bet thing he ever cooked?

@@Mikeplaysdbd What I think railsx2 was referring to was him sitting at home with his wife, and enjoying Anthony's tv shows. Anthony made it feel as if you were there alongside him experiencing uncharted territories, and learning about different cultures through their food.

Doner Kebab. I agree. We saw what the cameras showed us. He must have had some things in his life that had him feeling as if he failed. I wish people would talk to their loved ones if they feel that way. And if their loved ones see signs of it, to reach out to them. It's love and touching the lives of others that is important. I HATE to see someone feeling such self loathing, and narcissism isn't any better. BUT...feeling good about your accomplishments and having self worth is not bad. It's good. It's necessary. There is such a big difference in knowing your worth as a human being and thinking that the world owes you. I didnt get the feeling he was vain or narcisstic from his shows. I just saw an intelligent confident man on TV. Sometimes there are obstacles and walls that we can't reach people who need to be reached. Those need removal. I am all about it if I know someone needs help.

He had his run with drugs and alcohol replaced them. I think you can fry too many brain cells. My husband and I who really loved him use to comment on how pickled he looked.

tmWasted that is what I have always said !!!

So true!!!! He's enough.

I hear you

Aheep5.. He waa murdered dor knowing too much about the elite. A 6 foot 4 guy cant hang himaelf on a door knob

D Gilman speaking as someone who thinks about suicide daily. People like us are not tired of life...we are biologically broken.

Jay Torr Sure. I wish you peace Jay.

Sad

@@jaydavids6485 the key is to build up a store of memories of good feelings so when the bad days come we have faith that they'll be followed by more good days

A woman killed him. Wake up.

Same 👍🏼💔

Same. I've never been so effected by a celebrities death.
