The most heartbreaking thing is that there are still many men out there like Oliver but they're all getting attacked and cancelled.

Whatever for?

@@tonimarx6405 I'M JUST ONE MAN GIMME A BREAK. I'M DOIN MY BEST. lol. Not many folks understood what Oliver was gettin at. He never said the kitchen is where women belong but that women are nurturers and that meals made with the love a devoted woman are the best. That sort of shit. He always made that distinction. He always said that women were happy providing for the home and if they don't want to do that that is fine, just not his type. LOL. Oliver was a legend. I bet I could find a dive bar in my town in Florida that someone will have an Oliver Reed story visiting that place.

Yeah we definitely do.

The world has got plenty of the worst parts of Oliver Reed. None of us are perfect, most of us excel in something. I admired Oliver Reed for his charisma and acting ability and despite his problematic views. Everyone deserves to be treated in the manner they wish to be treated and at the very least with respect.

He wasn't hard to understand at all. He was a classic Jekyll and Hyde alcoholic. The type has been around since man first discovered fermentation.

@@termsofusepolice read his biography, What Fresh Lunacy Is This? Oliver didn't always do right, nor do we all always, but he did a lot of good that didn't get noticed a lot. When sober, Ollie was more sensitive, but when drunk, he could be erratic. My friend's Dad met Mr Reed at a party in Surbiton around 1980 and he said Ollie was completely sober and a very nice man. Sure, Ollie had his cons, but he also had his pros.

no argument here.

ChrisMisc1 Yup! All of them!

Yea !! Me too... ! I'm having a great time watching Oliver reed !

Thought I was alone 😂

Yup i could listen to him all day

Every few months or so, I have to.

I don't think people misunderstood him, he made himself perfectly clear. I don't think a lot of people agreed with him about women. I think it's sad they seemed to want him on their shows drunk so it would get attention for them.

Geniuses know sooner or later high living will put you down early in life. So now that he's been dead for 23 years, he must be understood by all.

The man predicted how he would die for Christ sake

I knew him better than you

Clang

Yea ok

Wow. The stories you could tell. There was something about him that I found absolutely magnetic since I was a girl. It never changed even when he played in Gladiator.

tell us some stories please!

@@roberthuot7887 So he died younger which means he is not tough ?

@@roberthuot7887 You are one dumb clown

@@jsmith7888 oh darn, now you went and hurt my feelings. I hope your happy Smitty!

@@roberthuot7887 well you have deleted youre comment so must of hurt them enough hahaha

wow you are stupid

Alcoholics add nothing to the world!

@@nibsvkh he seemed to enjoy himself immensely,and brought a great deal of laughter to others

Characters like this are banned now. Only snowflakes allowed

@@danielnichols5632 oh grow up

@@voicevoice2053 I'm agreeing with you! Fucking idiot

Totally right. These were real men with real personalities who were anything but politically correct. He lived back when you say whatever and people still had a sense of humor and the snowflakes weren’t offended at everything people said. Compared to wimps like Tom Cruise and the plethora of today’s actors he was a genuine character and very masculine. Which there were more around like him.

@@wplains you sound like an insecure pussy. How long have you been single for?

He was as nutty as a fruitcake but charismatic. According to Ken Russell he had two acting styles only Moody 1 and Moody 2. But he was mesmerising to watch

He was a fabulous actor & could do menace like no one else. Sober he was very intelligent & totally fascinating. He was also great at comedy (The Three Musketeers with Raquel Welch). He had a miserable childhood. He was dyslexic so struggled at school but was great at sport. His v intelligent journalist father would openly sneer at his sporting achievements. When his mother left, she gained a 'reputation' : for hosting boozy parties for off duty airmen where Oliver was made to serve the drinks. No wonder he had booze issues.

Hear hear, I knew a chap who was in his circle of friends and was also his gardener. They eventually fell out but Martins' memories of the man were of fun and frolics

I agree with some of what you wrote and enjoyed him as an actor and on talk shows. I wouldn't want the alcoholism or the underlying issues that had that caused it. He didn't seem to have had a very good childhood which is the catalyst for so many adult issues. I'm sorry he died so young but heavy drinking will do that to you.

@@brianwalsh1401 - I think he packed more into his 61 years than most men would if they lived to be 161. A great liver of life.

Good quote

Good quote

Not truly missed at all …. Who is missing him? Not me, and generations now have no clue who he is. Maybe your missing a blast from your past - but I can assure you he is not on many peoples missed list

John Blessing Amen.

oh, how profound onkel

@@mikehollingworth2262 Go read some books......you waste of space 🖕

There are none here today like Oliver Reed, maybe in another 100 years.

Any celebrity living 1% of the life he lived invariably books themselves into rehab, and makes a massive mountain of a molehill.

He died aged 61.

Oh yes the eyes.

I'm a huge fan of Reed, but I see him more suited to a Bond villian. Something like what Robert Shaw did in From Russia with Love. Perfect.

to be honest i think he thought the intelligence services was a criminal totalitarian gang and so would of refused that role because it glorified anti freedom criminals

He would've made an excellent Bond baddie

Nowadays Bond will probably be a black woman

He could have been Bond or Bond villain because that’s how good an actor he was. Absolutely marvellous!

The best!

Yes indeed .what a cool guy.great actor.

@Eddie Coyle you're right and society has made sure it happened and it's kept that way.

- Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil"

Yeah a great role model. Our younger generation are missing real le models like this great man

@@Steampunksaly but what have they got now!?

Jesus*

sad but true !!

As Ricky Gervais said, "what's the point in living longer if you're sober?"

Can’t really blame him. The world today is just chaos and the natural order has been ruined by progressives.

@@MrDeathMachine are you missing your old racism sexism ageism - the dark days of the 70’s high unemployment, three day weeks, power strikes, mine closures, IRA bombing s …. Yeah we have somehow lost it all - maybe our young people will wake up and bring all this order back that you miss so much

@@Steampunksaly shut up

Nope the man has to work now, come home to a lazy overweight wife glued to couch and TV , he has to then clean house prepare food, bath kids and put to bed , clear up after but not make to much noise incase he disturbs his obese spouse to whom he has to surrender everything if an escape from her through divorce is Persued…I call it toxic feminism

Big Who/Tommy etc fan here: Wondering: What scenes did you work on in the movie? Anything to share? x

Never met him, but that’s the impression I’ve always gained. Could lapse into the controversial part talk shows had scripted for him, but that was clearly just playing a part

No, women are not just sex objects but they have brains the same as men do. I adore Reed but I wish that he had been a feminist and not a male chauvinist! It would have been so refreshing !!

@@sarahgodwin7794 lol he's just playing in these interviews...

He would have to dump his sexist views over the years

@@thelonewolf2476 Shut up bitch, get into the kitchen

@@thelonewolf2476 shut it you clown you think that would have stopped him? and do you actualy believe everybody gives a toss about that crap? i always speak my mind that will never change this sexist crap is alod of bollox pardon my french but only insecure women respect it stronger women see it for what it is utter noncence

Drugs killed Keith

@@paulbackhard6315 Keith overdosed on Heminevrin, which had been prescribed to combat his advanced alcoholism: inadvertently, it was his alcoholism that killed him.

@@cahillgreg they are used to sedate alcoholics during withdrawals so he was taking them to get high or possibly so he could sleep after taking cocaine. He was abusing prescription drugs because he was wealthy and could pay a doctor to get himself into the state he wanted to be it . That’s what killed him if he had stuck with just booze he would of died but it would of taken longer .

Yes definitely!

@Warped Sounds well said

@Warped Sounds there are over 330 million of us. We have 50 states plus global territories. Our country is as big as the whole EU. With that said, there are overweight Americans bit there are just as many in shape. We vary widely across all spectrums.

....ALL true, however just like Mr. Reed, were ALL leaving this place no matter where we come from !! ,,,,everything, even LIFE is TEMPORARY !

The best 😁
