Such a great conversationalist. No one tells stories like Oliver. I could listen to him speaking all day and never get tired of it.😊

[@ancalites]

I liked Oliver Reed because despite all his flaws, he came across as an actual human being, and not like most other celebrities with their tightly controlled images, publicists and whatnot.

RIP

[@kevinpenneykevinpenney846]

Oliver Reed was a great actor, served his Country with National Service and a decent man. Although he liked a drink or two if he saw a person that needed help crossing the road he would help. Yes he was out spoken at times but that was part of his appeal.. R.I.P.

[@vivienmerchant]

One of the most beautiful speaking voices in the English language. Add to this intelligence, taste, a great gift and actually modesty... and Oliver Reed ain't bad, either! (God bless Isobel Barnett). Oliver Reed was a person who made the world a better place, actually.

[@delhog6161]

I remember meeting Oliver in the pub in 1976 we had a great conversation + 6 drinks and I never forget his advice as we both have dyslexia. I didn’t make as much money as he did but I did very well for my self and to this day I still stick to what he told me. God rest his soul 🙏

[@lisaprince5767]

He had the courage to speak the truth about liberal feminism and also the radicalized progressive left. He also spoke out against radical islam in a time few people were aware of it. He also pointed out the hypocrisy of the liberal feminist left....how they labeled HIM as chauvinistic and hating women but they supported a belief systen that stoned rape victims implemented honor killings FGM. He was a sarcastic asshole but also very brave in that he had the spine to speak the truth about the real motive of women like gloria steinam and the double standard of the progressive left in general. It became a death sentence for his career. His chauvinistic comments about women was for the benefit of liberal feminists. He did it to piss them off. WHY....THEY WERE STILL ARE ...DICTIONARY STUUUUPPPIDDD. Oliver reed married a woman whose IQ was 172. His was 168. She finished middle AND high school at 13. Went onto college completed it at 15...magna cum laud. Went onto graduate studies was out by 20 at the TOP OF HER CLASS. Do you think a true chauvinist would marry her? Everything these feminists wanted to be his wife WAS. After mocking them to show how stupid they sounded he pointed his wife out to them....could THEY do HALF of what SHE DID? THAT was when he zapped them about their almost total blackout on radical islam and how it denied women even basic health care. I wish i could find that video clip again. I suspect Mark Zuckerburgs youtube minions removed it. Lololol..of COURSE what he told these mentally retarded c**** left them FUMING. He told them the TRUTH. The TRUTH has a way of doing that.

Wonderful interview, Oliver Reed remains one of my all-time favorite actors and people. Such a brilliant man.

So nicely written in the description! I'm so fascinated with this man! He seems like a lovely bloke! So sharp, smart, witty and happy! He had this reputation of being an arse. Him wanting to control women, blah blah. Yes, I get that he wasn't an easy man to be around at times. It was his way or the highway. He had quite high thoughts about himself at times. He was dominant and probably a know it all. It's not easy to be around people with a severe addiction. But I also believe that he was soft. That he liked people and was genuinely interested in their stories. He cared and was respectful. A very complex man! Maybe I'll met someone like him if I start to hang out in bars ;-)

All the characters and scenes are already in my mind, as it is semi-autobiographical but I need some help as to to where I should start? I would love to use actors that no-one has heard of!! I realise this is a huge long-shot but who knows eh??Is there anyone out there with any experience willing to give a total novice a chance???

[@StevieHypno]

Yes, a massive long shot. As part of my degree, I did a screenwriting course. This gave me insight into writing, guys who write stuff I watch on TV talking to me directly about their experiences, and a structured (and crucially pressured) route to my own screenplay. I learned I absolutely loved writing the treatment, the initial synopsis, and used the picture in my head to then go on and write some of the script with loads of enthusiasm. Then the ADD kicked in, and I lost interest, or at least the ability to complete a project in which I'd explored all of the novelty. You might be different. Find a course, use the structure, and find out.

Great description. He was an alcoholic there's no doubt, but his charm, charisma and obvious sensitivity make me think he's a great man. The booze helps for some reason.

what a beautiful man

Both of these men are sadly missed. RIP to them both.

"he was speaking in a normal voice" saved himself there!

In 1960 I was 15 years old and working as a delivery boy for Mac fisheries in Camden Town High Street. One day out delivering fish on a pushbike with a basket in the front Oliver Reed and another geezer try take me off my bike. Me being I feisty Little fella gave them both a right mouthful of abuse and went on my merry way. But I don’t recognise Oliver. Now in the year 2018 I am so glad I did not get off and put my fists up because if I had I don’t think I would’ve been writing this now. Great actor, Nutty geezer. Missing him. Not very interesting I know the true story
