The private Anthony Bourdain

His suicide does not diminish his gifts to us just makes me wish I could have helped him in return. More love seems to be the consensus. The last time I saw Robin Williams he was in his black Mercedes jeep after bicycling on the sf Marina beautiful area. I,a nobody waved. A lifetime of personal thank you's in that wave, but clearly not enough. Banning guns will not stop suicides, I see them jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge and out of downtown highrise office buildings, quite often. Therapy was a waste of $1000s for me but changing jobs helped. And a new Lover ... chapter to chapter. So it goes.

His advocacy and outreach changed peoples lives along the way of course but I don’t think he ever really understood that he impacted peoples’ lives who just simply watched the show at home too. Such a loss and such a genuinely kind man. I hope his family is able to find closure through things like this. Especially his daughter. I’m sure later in life she’ll be grateful that before he died she was at an age where she could have real meaningful moments with her dad that she will remember forever.

I don't think suicide has very much to do w depression at all. It's more about trauma. Something happened long ago, perhaps he was molested or raped (or something else horrible) and buried it like most ppl do; esp men. That causes the soul to want to die.

[@albertmarnell9976]

@@divagirllove3977 What you say is true for some people. Trauma can be from many things and trauma can be subjective. I've known people that were in danger of something frequently and yet, did not notice, that was their personality. There are people who notice everything about others and themselves and it overwhelms them over and over throughout their lives. You don't need to be sexually abused or be in the military to experience trauma. That is a relatively recent mainstream accepted myth. Even very subtle behaviors of a parent can send terrible messages into the mind of a kid or teen. The parent is oblivious to their destructive behavior. A child and a teen might develop a very negative feeling and not know where it came from.

Dont let one you tube video write your whole opinion about anyone. Don’t be confused, he never chased materialism. “Parts Unknown”, was very much about folk cuisine, even when highlighting one exclusive dish, he’d point out it roots that were appropriated. That’s why he’d go eat fish cut cooked on a river bank. Or pork in a one roomed stucco shack in the desert. And did so without condescension, and with grace. He never became a chef to become rich or famous, that just was not a thing. The world class chefs in New York weren’t even middle class, it was Shep Gordon that encouraged bourdain to publish writing and promote, another profession not known for glitz.

Never met him, but loved his shows. He was an advocate for peace which comes from breaking bread and having conversations with others. He was an advocate for food, of course but he was also an ambassador for experiential travel. I’m a travel advisor and specialist in experiential travel and he was an inspiration for our business. When he took his life, I was gutted. It was a huge loss for everyone. He touched more people than he could ever know. I believe this documentary will be healing.

I have thought about this a lot, and only Tony knows why he left this Earth and us.

Something tells me the ex-girlfriend played a role. A shame they didn't interview her for the story.

Ask Asia Argento

[@rainstreet78]

I know he struggled with depression, but I firmly believe Asia Argento was the straw that broke the camel's back. Those photos of her with another man came out just five days before his suicide.

@@rainstreet78 , I didn't know that and I thank you for that bit of information . His death hit me very hard. It was such a shock.

[@HauntedAbysss]

Amazing film. He moved so many people. I'd come home from school and put the tv on and it was set to Travel so I could hear him in the background. To have him in all our lives was a gift. Just wish the film was longer. I miss him even if I never met him.

He said that restaurant kitchens were many times, the last hold out for the misfits of the world, people on the fringe. He lived a good chunk of his life in the spotlight, but always left part of himself just over the edge, on the fringe, in the shadows, stuck in that restaurant kitchen where you could truly be yourself--go as dark as it can and find solace in others whom were just as deep as him.

What a special man, this made me cry. I had just recently become familiar with his show due to word of mouth when he left us.

[@victorespinoza6210]

His death really shook me for a bit. I loved his shows, his personality, and his perspectives. Definitely watching this documentary

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

We were so blessed to have a person like Anthony Bourdain in a world of Guy Fieris... God I miss you Tony.

[@shrimpgeisha]

I’m not a religious person but I know with all of my being, that he sees and now finally feels all the love that eluded him.

[@FrankieJEnno]

Thank you....rip🖤

[@onelove1968]

He brought many people together. But there are also many powerful people in this world, who do not look very fondly upon "high profile" internationally beloved "good men", who help to bring us all, a bit closer together.

[@luminacosmosa2324]

He was a wonderful and down to earth character!

[@Ninabnina711]

I loved him and I never new him. RIP Tony.❤

[@patriciainportland5567]

Interesting to see the exchange between Anthony and Iggy. I remember reading the back of one of Iggy's CDs, where he was asking listeners to email him. He promised to reply, and I kinda also remember something written along the lines of wanting friends. I was touched by that. Musician, chef, astronaut, or stay at home parent, Iggy really nailed it when he said he wanted love. It is such an important part of life.

[@ErikFvonHausen]

I just really miss hearing his voice and following him through the screen on his adventures.

[@dawsonturner3042]

I’m 22 I’ve been watching Anthony my whole life. I went into the industry because of him and remain and avid cook and writer because of the feeling he imparted on me. I don’t care much for celebrity or fame and I felt he didn’t much either. He’s been my father figure, teacher, and inspiration for so long it’s hard too think it’s been three years. I miss you Anthony I was never able too meet you but through your books and shows I feel you knew me and many other cooks. Love you brother I’ll continue too miss you but I’ll keep moving forward in the legacy you didn’t realize you left.

MY NEICE LOVED THIS MAN, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT LOVE, HE WAS AMAZING

[@lsadultcoloringbook5781]

Usually I’m unaffected by celebrities death but this one really hit me. He was one of my inspirations for traveling my inspiration for living abroad.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

More a brilliant writer than a celebrity.
