I love how this man went on to voice Anton Ego in Ratatouille. Such a legend. Love his work. R.I.P good sir

His interview with Dick Cavett reveals that he was a terribly shy man, racked by anxiety in interview situations, which is probably why he's talking to his friend here.

A fabulous actor a very humble man with a beautiful voice ...watch him receive his honoury Oscar....perfect. They dont make actors like him anymore ❤

This reveals more about how he approached playing Lawrence than anything else.

What a great actor 👍

A very striking man

Fascinating interview. He was from a generation of extraordinary British stage and screen actors who made their names in the 50s and 60s. (Love that balcony too!)

This was wonderful. I adored this man. I’ve seen pictures of the real Lawrence and the resemblance is striking.

His voice and his eyes are enchanting.

Amazing bit of footage. Thanks ever so much for digging it up! I can't quite wrap my head around just how young he was back then.

Wow did not know he was that young at the time

29, he walks like my grandfather

Lawrence was 5'6 as was Mr Churchill and Lord Admiral Nelson ... so really the best height to be ... O'Toole is wonderful ...

i`m 25 and he feels and looks atlleast 15 years older than me ^^

what a wonderful treat! thank you very much.

Not only did Peter O’Toole give a fantastic, compelling performance in this film, he was also smoking hot in it. And I don’t mean hot because he was in the desert! 😍 and in two different interviews, 5 decades apart, he does the same little quirk, which is snapping his fingers while saying that something “clicked” for him. He does it at 4:07 here, and he also does it in his last public interview with Robert Osborne in 2011.

Great that Kenneth is there...x.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for posting this. I've always wanted to see the interview in it's entirety.

89yrs old this year

I love how at 8:40 he just picked a booger, rolled it up in a ball, and then threatened to eat it. The suspense just keeps building

8foot 5 ! The man's a giant !

Un souvenir hante un autre mais la roue avance avec la même vitesse

Man, he chained smoked.

Goodness he was a troublemaker. Read Brian Blessed’s autobiography. He has a few stories involving O’Toole.

4:25 "wtf is this manlet going on about?"

Hard to be😂lieve he left school at 14. I saw him being interviewed with Orson Wells, and he had no problem keeping step with a first rate mind, because Peter O'Toole obviously has one.

God, he was gorgeous! I prefer him with the bleached blonde hair instead of his actual hair color which was light brown.

"Come on me Beauties!!!! "

As a British born I love Peter o Toole but he could never be 29 years old in this interview

Good ol’ Peter; always had a flat cap on and a cigarette in his mouth.

"Not being the obvious choice" - yes, it's called acting.

Giggle 6:28 omg

O Toole was a man of unnatural appetites...

A মএস্ট্রো😅

Game recognizing game here…O’Toole is nice and toasty drunk during this interview. Like hyper-functional alcoholic drunk. One high-functioning storyteller to another.

It is my contention that Peter adeptly penetrated the essence of T.E. Lawrence's multifaceted character, delving into both its admirable and enigmatic facets with discerning insight. Moreover, Peter himself epitomized a life lived with unyielding authenticity, resolutely eschewing conformity in favor of personal integrity. His circle of companions, comprising luminaries such as Richard Harris, Richard Burton, and Oliver Reed, likewise embodied this ethos, unabashedly embracing their true selves without concession. Their literary oeuvres and autobiographical reflections stand testament to their profound intellect and cerebral acumen, revealing individuals who grappled with existential profundities and the transience of human existence. Indeed, their acute intelligence often led them to confront the inherent absurdity of life, recognizing its ephemeral nature within the cosmic expanse. Yet, within their existential contemplations, they exuded not only intellectual rigor but also a profound compassion and fervent zeal for life's myriad experiences. Thus, while their reputation may have been unfairly tarnished by narratives of excess and indulgence, a deeper inquiry reveals individuals of remarkable intellectual prowess and philosophical depth, whose legacy transcends mere caricature.

Young men back in those days always looked older than their years... a level of maturity males of subsequent generations simply don't possess. The flies in that place...
