Christopher Reeve on Oprah

[@omarkhamis5028]

An interesting phrase he said "people take walking and breathing for granted" we need to think about it. and be grateful to god

[@rf2632_]

Oh please, how can there be a god we something like this happen to a good person ?? Either is god not that perfect and powerful as he claims to be or he does not exist at all!

In Heaven Christopher Reeves will be a real Superman. Do you, guys, like that? God can do that because His that cool.

[@sarahwentforalemonwedgeand8991]

god? there is no god. you are grateful to yourself and science, you fool. Religion is the worst bullshit on the planet. You must be survival of the fittest it has nothing to do with any fake god.

At 36 years of age, I watch this with tears in my eyes, I grew up like many seeing this amazing man playing Superman on screen. I never see Christopher Reeve on screen I see Superman... I cried when he had his accident and I cried when he died. What he went through, showed what a true SUPERMAN he really was, which is why he will always be Superman to me, and when I feel like giving up. I just look and remember Chris.

[@jeremysmith54565]

@RoxanneDrew But for me its more what he gave in research to people with the same injuries he's given potentially at least the possibility of people walking again, after this which he put down to his exercises he'd do he could sense hot and cold again as well as moving his fingers I believe at least. He's quite literally incredible!

[@alanlurie2895]

I was at the Show!! I was crying and laughing the whole show. I got to meet his Son Matt who was sitting in the audiance

[@mike311271]

he really was superman , so brave and a brilliant actor, watched superman when i was a child, rest in peace x

[@Themedusatouch89]

His wife was so amazing x

[@BeautyQueen79]

People need to take the time in their lives to see this to be humble and not take things for granted.

[@angeliquecruchet7903]

Oprah : Do you believe you will walk again? Reeve : Absolutely 🥺🥺

[@Gemmarose9012]

What an unbelievably strong and beautiful man he was. Superman.❤️

[@Cybernaut551]

Chris Reeve achieved the honor of giving hope to people worldwide.

[@russeli1941]

I feel that Christopher sent a powerful message to those that would listen. He completely put himself out there to show that even a Super Hero needs a super hero to help during difficult times. Robin Williams was Christopher Reeve's super hero. Sadly, Robin Williams didn't have one during his time of need.😢

[@sandyhobart9247]

Words can't express my feelings hes no longer in pain or a wheelchair god 🙏 bless you ❤️

[@lisacoston8175]

Chris Reeve will always be the Man of Steel forever in my heart. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️May RIP. 😟😟😟😟😟😟😟

[@alexandrathearmy8464]

I love this interview.This was back in the day when Oprah wasn't full of herself and didn't interrupt people when they talked.

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

As an actor, he played a super person who flew high before our eyes. As a survivor of quadraplegia, he was a super person who flew high in our minds.

[@patrickmccauley9444]

Christopher was such a powerful, inspirational figure to me, and his legacy lives on. I truly believe that if he were alive today, he would be walking. I hope that wherever he and Dana are - they take comfort in knowing that his accident was instrumental in bringing awareness to spinal cord research, and that because of them, others have had the opportunity to walk again.

[@christinafooranddaisythedo5219]

He truly was superman in every way shape and form. I really think he would have walked if he had lived another 3 to 5 years. RIP Christopher Reeve.

[@natalieps2387]

Thanks for uploading. His book had me in tears. I lived in the same town as him for a year it was very expensive in Bedford ny so I moved. Imagine being 6 '4 200 lbs & all that weight landing on ur head. He suffered his whole life from alopecia when u lose patches of hair , stress can cause it. It's no wonder he lost his hair. So stressful. He did so much to get ready to walk again , like having his legs move on an exercise bike to prevent atrophy. I really hoped he would walk again. I also dont think his mom as a bad person she just did not want her son to suffer. Plus they spoke about it. He is such an inspiration bc the what if's would drive anyone crazy.

[@Brancaalice]

When the body get i falling, the survive instinct reflex quick use the arms to protect it of hurting. It acts in high speed letting the mind behind. It strange why it didnt happen to amortece the fall and protect his head. Arms break but not a organ of survive.

[@andromedastar4900]

@@Brancaalice He did talk about that. He said the mistake he made was trying to stay on the horse when he knew he was going to fall off. In doing so, his hands became tangled up in the reins and he couldn't use his arms to break the fall. He knew that had his hands been free, all that he would have had was a broken wrist.

[@robertmac7833]

Someone claims to have been granted a visit to heaven. They said they saw Chris there. He made it. And they said he was in charge of teaching people there how to fly...like Superman. Yup. Flying lessons!

[@bettysamson4925]

Here is a real life hero. Did more on that wheelchair than when he played Superman who wasnt real. Made every minute he spent on that chair all worth it.

[@jenniemalloy7402]

What a super man.

Love her personality. Very warm and real

[@Rico_Suave_]

both of them

[@andromedastar4900]

Yes, he died a long time ago. He lived about nine years like that. The thing that happens is that people in this condition have a lot of complications. He suffered from numerous respiratory infections because of his breathing tube, and also had skin infections from lesions caused by not being able to move and change position. The human body was not meant to be completely immobile for long periods of time, and as his type of spinal injury was the most severe, his immobility was near complete (he could only move his head). Therefore, he suffered many complications during the nine years he lived and in the end , his heart stopped again and the couldn't resuscitate that time, so he passed away.

[@mamalonius4808]

almost looks like a clone.

[@goodnews3790]

It’s a privilege to experience unconditional love. The lessons that adversity teaches you if you overcome them can be far more valuable than many physical things people posses. Some people might be physically handicapped, but their spirit is far from that. 🤍💖
