5:12 - Sorry but the guy was a complete ass. He sounded finished there after having been waffling on for 5 minutes, stared as if expecting the interviewer to then continue and when he tries, he doesn't just politely say, "Oh, I was just also going to say..." or whatever, he proper lays into the poor guy and lectures him too. An utter narcissist, self-obsessed, nasty aggressive person who had a completely privileged life - his parents were rich and his uncle was the uber famous and successful film director Sir Carol Reed who got him into movies. Oh he bought a "big huge house" from "the white father's of Africa" did he? Oh, very good, well done 🙄 Just because he was drunk all the time, people somehow think that's really cool.

I feel that Ollie was always acting. I don't think dear Ollie was drunk when interviewed, merely acting a part. Sure he probably was a heavy drinker, but he was not stupid either 😊😊😊😊😊😊🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@AD-kv9kj18 күн бұрын
Sorry but he absolutely was drunk all the time, and he was stupid too. Having rich parents, a famous film director for an uncle, being handed success to you on a plate from birth and going around treating people like absolute dirt, lecturing them and berating them over nothing but your own weird narcissistic ego is not being intelligent. Having a posh accent and some fancy words doesn't make him really clever.

I think in this interview, although he may be drunk, I think he's given the interviewer the run around. My brother thinks he is just drunk, and not an act....what fo you think?
@JackReeves-qpr3 ай бұрын
Last breed of authentic actors, he didn’t have media training, he was idolised for his talent and who he was. He wore weaknesses on his sleeve and as we all have weaknesses, no one tried to cancel him for it.

He was a troubled genius He wasn't a waste of space like some people might have called him He was battling a lot of demons 😈 Smoking, drinking, addiction, gambling 🎰 He pushed people away If he left people help him he would still be alive today He would have won maybe a few more world titles Unfortunately life didn't go well for him I would agree with him He truly was his own worst enemy He brought most of it on himself He made life very difficult on himself without any need May he rest in heavenly peace ✌️ 1949- 2010
