Impossible. Peter O'toole is a gift to life.

[@rwachwater4408]

When stars were stars

[@CarlitoRemo]

It's only really podcasts that do long form interviews/conversations now. Cavett is a master.

[@JMacque]

O'Toole is a charismatic character.

[@OperaJH]

I thought he was adorable when I was 14 and still think he was adorable. RIP dear Peter. Dick Cavett was always brilliant and a master at drawing so much out of his guests. Great post - thank you!

[@mariedewitt5033]

Same!

[@mpemberton7760]

Peter O'Toole...one of the greatest actors and most engaging Irish raconteurs of our time. Much respect, and peace be upon him!

[@deb-1558]

He's so interesting to listen too. Great interview

[@Bully_dogg]

His manners and his etiquettes are divine. Cigarette in his hands, he liked to drink and yet we would not dare calling him a drunk and indisciplined. He was an Irish gent at the top of his game. Rip peter

[@saleire]

I adore this interview and have watched it so many times. He is delightful in every way.

[@jeffreysearle2996]

A true character and gentleman

[@markpass4215]

Just a different intellect and true charisma from the social media ‘stars’ of today …the word star, let alone superstar today is worthless

[@emmaemma6641]

Precisely!

[@lucysweeney8347]

Class! What a classic piece.Thank you SO much for posting this gem.

[@srvuk]

Quite humble at times.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Peter could’ve also been a stand up comedian. His comic timing when telling stories was always present…

[@kinketsu9103]

Peter just chaining them smokes!

[@Luzanne.]

The Lawrence of Arabia review moment is my favorite by far. “It’s salutary.”

[@BrainyBoy1200]

He was only 32/33 when this was filmed, he looks like he's pushing 45, people just aged different back then. The refined grey in the beard is a look tho 👌

[@ivanconnolly7332]

O'Toole was terrified of interviews ,Cavett and Parkinson put him at his ease.

[@graxjpg]

great stuff. love peter and dick.

[@johnwright3815]

Like how you can hear the Irish accent...

[@ivanconnolly7332]

His accent is pure RADA, Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, he grew up in a grimy suburb of Leeds .

[@norajjones3792]

The host was Johnny Carson from The Tonight Show.

[@anneroy4560]

no, that is Dick Cavett ...

[@halfdome5705]

@@anneroy4560 In this Cavett interview, Peter mentions a short interview with an unnamed host whom Nora Jones names.

[@tyronejoihnson7046]

Caveat said O’Toole was drunk and after the show, started throwing chairs, the table and Cavett into the audience, screaming “ Areopagitica“.

[@paulf2898]

He would have played a good gandalf 😂

[@anneroy4560]

He could have a played a good anything ...

[@heyjoe9267]

I can almost hear him yelling “None shall pass”!!!!

[@Halen0224]

Peter otoole was English born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England and lived there

[@mitzipepall3075]

Irish parents.

[@Halen0224]

@@mitzipepall3075 still born and lived in England

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Had an Irish passport and always claimed he was from Connemara, Mayo, West Ireland.

[@johnwright3815]

But still...

[@Halen0224]

@@martinmcdonald4207 he wasn’t tho 😂😂😂

[@powerfrenzy]

was it necessary to deliberately edit the clips out of chronological order?

[@ivanconnolly7332]

American prurience.

[@katesleuth1156]

I always thought Peter o’Toole was blond.

[@OperaJH]

In an interview years ago, he said something to the effect of, “My friend, Lady Clairol. Those bottles are the next best thing to to Irish Whiskey!”

[@johnwright3815]

He was...maybe.

[@giovanna722]

He was born a blond, but took liberties with his appearance whenever the fancy struck him, I guess.

[@ssgdean1969]

As a retired US Army soldier I can attest to the skill of being able to drink all night and work the next day. It is possible to do but it WILL age you considerably.
