Anthony Bourdain (Full Interview)

[@andyp5194]

Such a strange feeling to miss so much a person you’ve never met

[@formerlybernard6460]

yes. literally the only one for me.

[@jsanford01]

Same. I think I cried for like 2 full years. It was a weird experience. And I hate celebrities. But he hit home to me. In every way.

[@brandonlantier]

I still regret not going to meet him when I had the chance, he was in Lafayette LA filming down the street from my house, I was sick at the time so didn't want to pass it to anyone, RIP Tony.

[@8kai12]

Man. I'm grateful this exists. I love anthony bourdain. I wish he could've found some peace in life.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

He didn’t kill himself.

[@michaelhauser6440]

Must’ve been difficult to have been a tall, handsome, rich talented celebrity that got to do what he loved

[@Lulukitter]

@@michaelhauser6440This is an extremely ignorant statement.

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

​@@LulukitterNot nessesarily. Anthony was living a rather privileged life and he knew it. Those of us who slaved away in kitchen's knew it as well. We loved him because one of our own got to the top. I'm surmising but I think Anthony lost sight of this. Ultimately, he knew he was happier in front of a deep fryer.

Probably why they made sure he isnt around. :(

All the restaurants closing and covid and whatnot probably would have really bummed him out

Couldn't care less his opinions on politics . Matter of face we would hate eachothers politics but the man had a talent for taking the viewer with him wherever he went. Sucks he took the cowards way out, not to mention how his daughter feels about his .... departure.

[@samuelmaurice904]

This is a good example of why I feel bad for opie. Hes good as an interviewer but comedy escapes him. He would have been a good news guy. Don't forget the o and a we love usually had opie in it. That being said I wish anthony was here duh.

Opie's great here, I think Ant would have ruined it as Bourdain is everything Ant hates....liberal, world travelled etc.

a good interviewer? Are we watching the same thing?

[@samuelmaurice904]

@bryanpinto4051 believe me I usually only listen to nopies. I'm just saying this is the only time I've ever heard opie not be completely awful. But yes as a whole he stinks. And I don't like him.

Like grandpa always told me.. sometimes when life gets hard ya just got to tighten your belt

[@martins1256]

RIP brother! .... You are one of a kind!

[@illuddivinus3309]

Before his relapse. You can visibly see he wasn’t smoking again and or swollen from drinking. It’s about a year after this that he met Asia Argento and went straight fucking downhill.

[@eeeeks]

You are so right. I’ll never forget her post(Asia) wearing a T-shirt meant to piss Bourdain off. She quickly took the picture down

[@illuddivinus3309]

@@eeeeks you can visibly see he was a happier dude here.

[@logic.4218]

I'm not a psychic or anything but I'm sure that relationship was his ultimate downfall. That person was beneath him and I'm sure we all wish he had realized that and not allowed himself to get emotionally involved with a person who would play games with his well-being. This guy is one of modern humanity's greatest teachers, and his death was a tremendous loss. At least we have his great body of work. My kids will know it well.

[@cincomilarboles]

it never ceases to amaze me how much he aged in such a short time. compare this with how he looked just 2 years later, it's night and day.

[@EMVelez]

@@cincomilarboles He aged 10 years during his short relationship with that succubus. He looked like a different man. Tormented and depressed. Never happy. He should have stayed with his second wife Otavia. She was very good for him.

[@oui2611]

i feel like the most sentimental people are usually the most compassionate, understanding and conscious of things. I could definitely see that Anthony was 3 of those things which in light of his passing it's not hard to deduct that he was also a deeply sentimental person as well. A side which he most likely swallowed to lock it away in a cage with the key thrown out the window which is why you never see the passing of a person like this coming.

[@sadeememe4684]

“and life don’t hurt anymore”. Did you catch it? 😢

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I did! Fucking anti-prophetic, too, wasn't that blurb?

[@rmatic2295]

Depression makes you see yourself in a way nobody else sees you. It's irrational, it's brutal, and It's a cruel illness. As someone who suffers from it myself, I'm so profoundly sad that it took this great man. RIP

[@jjd4034]

And confusing the Blue Mosque for Hagia Sophia

[@traposucio2944]

@@jjd4034 I gotta admit it also happened to me. When I went to Istambul the guards welcomed me in one of the mosques at a big deal only-for-Muslims mass even though I am from Spain. I told them I was a pilgrim with no religion, which was true. They were pretty welcoming and it was a memorable experience. It helped that I had literally crossed all Europe on my way to Istambul and by chance (including pretty random delaying incidents) I got to the mosque 5 minutes before the big mass started, entering at the very last second. Pretty providencial staff, indeed. Still... I believe it was the blue mosque but I'd need to check it up again 😅

The flow doesn’t seem organic. He says he “caught up” and has notes, but proceeds to ask some of most basic, already well known answered questions. Frustrating to listen to and see this as a missed opportunity. It’s a shame.

[@foundryarchives]

oh boo fucking hoo

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Rather ironic that Bourdain was the same hipster about whom he was disparagingly speaking in this interview. Bourdain HAD to be cool. Nothing wrong with that, per se, but ... from time to time he could see rather contradictory.

[@jstanley4968]

What? He was far from a hipster. More punk rock than anything. He did not HAVE to be cool.What the hell are you on about? Lmao

[@michaelhall5429]

He constantly wrote about many of his decisions probably just stemming from vanity. He might've been trying to be cool but he knew and admitted it. Plus he succeeded. Dude was cool.

[@EMVelez]

He’s the anti-hipster. Hipsters have a completely vapid outlook on the world. They are concerned with trends and being “cool” for the sake of being cool. When hipsters displace people of color in the low income neighborhoods they move into, they never think twice about the people they just pushed out. Hipsters are poseurs at the end of the day. Tony was not that. He was effortlessly cool. He didn’t need to try. He liked hole in the wall places and high end restaurants alike. He would go anywhere and talk to anyone. He wasn’t a snob or a poseur.
