[@ClaudyArfaras]

Always liked Anderson Cooper and this interview made me like him more! Kind of like listening in on Seth and Anderson having pillow talk. Of course, both are happily committed to others, in fact, Seth with his new son but fun time....Thank you!

[@garym444]

Claudy TheArtist lol agreed

[@hannahhayes2776]

Anderson Cooper is a DELIGHT

[@pharaohpolystyrene6411]

Hannah Hayes He's ok I guess. I'm more interested in hanging out with his mom now.

[@kimberlyscabiniowa1199]

I have always loved Anderson Cooper... mainly because... when he started his journalism career, he kept who he was quiet. He made a name for himself without using his family name to get there. Shows his true character and he has shown how much integrity he has from day one! This guy doesn't even HAVE to work, he could be some spoiled rich guy, living a life of wealth, but he chooses to work and earn his way.

[@mac9162]

Kimberlys Cabin Iowa, amen to that!

[@kcourtney9390426]

Which is what drives you to work and do your own thing.

[@BurritoMassacre]

Im surprised how normal and stable AC is knowing the eccentric childhood he had.

[@Kaytecando]

If you listen to some of the old interviews of his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, you will understand why his is. She is surprisingly very real and in touch with her inner self. Amazing considering her background all the tragedies in her life.

[@keithjohnson514]

Bullshit. Anderson Cooper doesn't know what he is. And we don't care.

[@ziziscorsese9475]

Cindy V His mother sounds like a wingnut.

[@nm8390]

@@Kaytecando you are right, I loved their relationship, I enjoy watching the videos. The one above kept me laughing 😅🤣😂💖💕

[@veracruz7954]

It’s simply delightful to see the HUGE amount of love and appreciation Anderson Cooper has for his mother! Truly DELIGHTFUL !!! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@Pbdave1092]

I had to google Anderson's age when I heard that he met Charlie Chaplain. He's just one year old younger than my mom.... He looks YOUNG and SMEXY.

[@jamesfc4737]

had bernie actually been nominated trump most likely would have lost because of clinton's shite personality so it isn't thanks to him, its thanks to clinton rigging the polls

[@Pbdave1092]

am I missing something from this conversation or am I stupid? Lol.

[@fly89]

JustDave i am feeling very lost now. 2 years after...

[@Okiijiida]

Imagine sexually objectifying a dude who was raped his whole childhood.

[@CLEBTV-in6ss]

AC is relevant, intelligent, necessary, gorgeous and here to stay!

[@rainyday4970]

[@MG-jj3pn]

She did a marvelous job raising him. A lovely man.

[@Linx77777]

[@brooks8792]

Or he has chosen to be amazing despite

[@trower64]

He actually raised himself and his mother. He has said it was always his responsibility to watch over her.

[@greenblood64]

I like Anderson. He cracks me up when he laughs. He has a very infectious laugh.💙

[@wandaboatman9334]

greenblood64 He has his Mother’s laugh!

[@jauipop]

He's one guy who I would love to sit and have dinner with!

[@NewMessage]

I dunno.. he's really weird about food.. it's apparently infuriating to eat with him.

[@jauipop]

New Message ok then... maybe over a drink? unless he has something about booze as well. lol

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

Marcus Chan or just eat somewhere he already likes. I'd love to have dinner or a conversation with him also!

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@franku.5374]

Anderson is just amazing and the most credible journalist of all .

[@lesleyallinson8738]

your amazing love the way you talk so highly of your mum

[@monicadauria2809]

Anderson cooper is the bomb dot come in his own rite. His devotion to his mother is so cool. I know gloria has passed but she left.a wonderful legacy in her sons cooper and Anderson. If you will permit me well done Andy. Loved your book.

[@Biboche23]

I love anderson! it took me forever to realize Gloria was his mom. I think its great they took time to write this book together before she leaves here considering her age. Im sure that was therapeutic considering what they went through.

[@kalaya01]

Anderson Cooper is my favorite newscaster. He is beautiful to look at (yes I know he's gay, but he has a sublime ethereal refined class about him that is attractive to see.) He portrays himself as someone with an honest conscience and depth of humanity. There's something about him that makes you trust him, (which is not my normal reaction to most people raised by multimillionaires.) (...And my Gloria Vanderbilt jeans by his mom, were my favorites back when I was in school.)

[@russwray2827]

what line of bs

[@paolasoriano2867]

Always had a big crush on him. For years. So shocked he was gay haha. But I still love him.

[@myqueenimagivemydumassopin6841]

He's a true gemini 😉❤️

[@reealitychick]

Kalaya------ yes -- he is very ethereal ... glad you noticed...

[@arthurboehm]

Please explain why you qualify Anderson's "beauty" by mentioning his gayness. You mean, he's beautiful, even if he's gay? Are you saying that his gayness somehow removes him from "availability" to you, which fantasy you need to feel to acknowledge his physical appeal?

[@brianknickerbocker8518]

Anderson is funny as hell, would be fun to have a beer with.

[@BrunetteGiant]

Wow, Anderson Cooper is really cool!

[@syedmammar1]

Such a genuine, handsome personality

[@celestegaydos9516]

Love Anderson 😍😍 I know I’m on the wrong team, but I can fantasize😁

[@Stellabilbo]

He's so handsome

[@jamesfc4737]

and gay. and married. outta luck?

[@mikekuppen6256]

I don´t think he´d be more available for any of us KZbin commenters if he´d been single and straight. He´s still handsome. So maybe don´t stomp on people for no real reason?

[@rainyday4970]

Yes, he is GORGEOUS!

[@JPMJPM]

I wish *I* had been Anderson's sister and had GV as a mom. What a trip!

[@LittleB2007]

I had to google who Anderson's mom is. Her wikipedia page literally made my jaw drop... :O

[@LadyHashZ]

littlebrit2007 right!?!??

[@susansollee1839]

Anderson CooperAC, I’ve always thought your mom was a class act. She lived it and told it how it was. Nothing fake about her. Love the sound of her name- Gloria Vanderbilt. Very intelligent and talented lady. Myself and my grandchildren enjoy the wonderful line of jeans. Sorry for your loss💕

[@manderbos]

Gloria was a high priestess of the Mother's of Darkness. Check it out. We've all been duped by "reality." kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX3dXmWFYpWkjtk&feature=emb_logo

[@SINternetEntertainment]

He needs to write a book just about his childhood.

[@hello-vs4dc]

Have you read his book? Not the one he wrote with his mom, but *his* book. It’s not about only his childhood, but he does address it.

[@SINternetEntertainment]

Momma Gloria sounds like your regular cool mom. 💖

Sure! When you take out all of the podesta art and satanic rituals she took part in. A blood bath of children in an underground vat who were hung like dolls. She sounds like such a delight!!

[@arcadiaberger8395]

In my father's last days, I read his medical chart (since I was taking care of much of his health care), and learned that while in the military he had been treated for an STD. Now, when a single man in his twenties is serving in a war zone, that he should contract an STD has got to be one of the least surprising things in a man's medical record, but yeah, it struck me.

[@arcadiaberger8395]

Grey Trent, I'm talking about my own father here, a man who is deceased, while using a pseudonym. Chill out.

[@Nathan-rt5vj]

Yes that would be very conflicting to find out.

When your children become adults there is a change - unless you always want to be the kid.

Good Cher impression

[@waimbuthia820]

Always liked & admired Anderson Cooper who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth BUT seems very humble & down to earth. Frankly, the man could have afforded not to work & day in his life & live a carefree life but is clearly one of hardest working journalists ever! And what a beautiful & free spirited woman Gloria Vanderbilt was! Loved her personality. LOL She & son had obviously a great relationship.

[@moeskeetz5473]
