Duncan Jones BBC Breakfast 17 07 09

[@reefprayerresin]

To David's credit, I love how Duncan's a real person, not a spoilt brat celebrity's son. I'm amazed by that! - He wouldn't have to work, but he's obviously inherited his father's creativity, and is doing what he loves, carving out his own niche. He's his own person, and what a fine person he is! All the best for you Duncan. Your father would be smiling over you.

[@apples2go1]

+reefprayer resin i love your comment. so so true. duncan definitely inherited david's humility as well!

[@offwiththefairies77]

+caylen dana Is that why he told his mother when he was 14/15yrs old that he didn't want to see/stay with her because she was "too poor" and her lifestyle wasn't up to his standard of living?.

[@lalala6751]

+reefprayer resin Very nice comment.

[@terrypussypower]

+offwiththefairies77 Ha1 I'd love to hear some of the horseshit arguments *you* had with your parents at that age!

[@024gaming]

His mother was a highly intelligent woman and Mr. Bowie could not have achieved anything without her....let's get real guysa. Mr Bowie was a great musician but he was not all that nice....he treated everyone around him rather badly once he made it...including his band members...

[@bryanbry9776]

He is beautiful like his daddy and I detect his dad's kindness and humility too. Winner.

[@evilashxero]

+Rose Red He does seem like a nice guy.

[@MsJules1976]

+Rose Red He looks like his dad!

[@CB-xr1eg]

+Bryan Bry That's not Winner, that's Jones!

[@natid.6619]

+Julie Evans more like his mum

[@GoodMrDawes]

His father must have been very proud. What a great movie. What great genes.

[@ivankaramasov]

A long time ago (must have been mid 90s). I had a short email exchange with Duncan Jones. He seemed like an extremely generous and down to earth kind og guy. This interview confirms my impression. I loved Moon and also thougth Source Code was very well made. I think he may become a truly great director.

[@louise7552]

Can't believe how much Duncan looks like he's dad though. So down to earth, he just walks around London, no one notices him, very low key guy.

[@glamdolly30]

What a lovely guy, his dad must have been very proud of him. My thoughts are with David Bowie's two children and his wife Iman as they come to terms with their terrible loss.

[@personalcheeses8073]

It's amazing that Zowie Bowie grew up so normal and metamorphosed into Duncan Jones. He certainly has no airs and graces you would never believe he was so privileged.

[@glamdolly30]

+Kristina Winter My thoughts exactly! He's a credit to his late father.

[@Fatima502]

+Kristina Winter Yes the fact that he calls himself Duncan Jones and not Zowie Bowie (or even Duncan Bowie) speaks volumes.

[@calisongbird]

+TorkGirl8 Would've been?? I think David Bowie knew what his own son's name was while he was alive. lol

[@TorkG8]

calisongbird Yeah, I know that! I mean he would've been chuffed at the time when Zowie told him he wanted to change his name from Zowie Bowie to Duncan Jones...that was all.

[@neenyboucher4578]

I loved Moon. I went out and bought it when it came out on sale as a dvd. When I first saw it, I had no idea Duncan Jones was David Bowie's son. Fantastic film.

[@loudloveen]

What a fine and talented man Mr. Bowie has produced the world with. I'm not a big fan of science fiction movies, but I'll definitely check this one out.

[@Did6661]

Moon really is an excellent film- I think most people would like it whether they like sci-fi or not x

[@sirwi11iam]

Brilliant film. Different!

[@antoniorussell9893]

+Ana CD Its a superb film. Recommended.

[@nadinewhite993]

+Ana CD It's a terrific movie. My sons 17 and 12 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@Gezoes]

+Ana CD I never realized his son made Moon. I do now. It explains a lot :)

What a nice person !!!...

[@summerferrett2113]

403 Forbidden his mother left him so he doesn’t talk to her.. what do you expect?

[@charlotteelisabethchristia6356]

Awwww, he seemed so happy and proud, when they mentioned his dear father and when he talked about Bowie liking the film

[@balanina337]

What a nice, smart, delicate and humble person . Respect !

[@KweenBee37]

Loved this film, love this style of sci-fi, can't wait to see what Duncan does in the future

[@ahlamahlam8513]

Style David

[@crazygirlgoeswild]

I can definitely sees his dad in him. ..

[@tammysigmon853]

I see so much of his father!

[@dwho432]

He seems like a humble guy and a good guy.. Stay that way.

[@mejustme479]

Wow! He is really channeling his Father. Looks just like his Dad too. ♡

[@preciousdevere288]

I can see David Bowie in Duncan's face his speech and creativity.

[@littleogeechee223]

A lot of his mom through his forehead, eyebrows and eyes.

[@sheilaromanazzi1874]

damn he looks ALOT like his very awesome father!! bless you and yours Mr. Jones I LOVED your dad and hope to see your movie soon

[@lordbetty4806]

He has the same smile as his father :)

[@artlover1477]

So, so glad that the journos were focusing on the movie, and not Bowie.

[@Magnulus]

Wow, clean-shaven Duncan! I never thought I'd see the day!!

[@malhalsey4994]

I’d love to watch this movie. I like both the director and the lead actor, and the story seems compelling and exciting. 👍🏼

[@kaori_kanzaki]

What a gentleman.

[@aimeerobinson7358]

He and his wife made David Bowie a Grandfather. When Stenton David Jones was born, five months after David's death.

[@HanksClips.]

Why wouldn’t he 😐

[@DefLepLvr1]

Saw this, LOVED IT but did not know (at the time) that Duncan Jones, son of David Bowie, had directed it.......GREAT MOVIE!!!!!

[@kromed01]

One of the best films I have ever seen. THe way everything you percieve the characters to be and their intentions changes is just amazing. It should have won two oscars, best director and best actor.

[@MsMoneyHunny1]

He looks like his dad. :)

[@SuperAnimelover100]

+TheBrabon1 she was always ugly !

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

+MsMoneyHunny1 I don't think he does

[@DavidDatura]

The sets on this movie remind me of the show 'Space: 1999' I used to watch as a child. I really liked it (being a SciFi fan to this day) Looking it up on Wikipedia I was surprised to read it aired for only 2 seasons or 48 episodes. I thought it went on for much longer than that...the perspective of a child I suppose. The director of this movie and David Bowie's son Duncan seems to be such a nice guy too.

[@duxberry1958]

i,v seen the moon its very good

Idk, America IS a vast land full of multiple continents, which are full of whole countries...with so MANY languages.. Eh...I'm sorry, I do tend to go on a bit.. To which American "accent" were you referring to?? 😕

[@skygazer6898]

Duncan has found his own way in life without riding on his famous parents' coat-tails. Good Luck to him

[@duxberry1958]

Duncan is very much like his dad

[@freakyfridayize]

Sounds like Duncan knows that if you don't serve others then you won't be successful. You can see here he cares, you can watch interviews on Warcraft and it clearly shows he cares about what the fans want to see. I cannot wait to see Warcraft.

[@tara34952]

He seems very sweet, real and humble. Seems like a nice person.

[@joethelion6016]

I love him purely because he's Bowie's son.

[@ROSE_reddy]

I like the name "Duncan Jones" sounds like some comic book superhero! Leave it to DB to name his child that, lol

[@silverysnowfox]

wow, the resemblance is striking.

[@dawnfahy]

WoW h really looks like his mum, Angie

[@MsFlamingFlamer]

He looks just like his dad, just beefier. Both Bowies kids look just like him but Duncan is thicker and Alexandria is darker

[@DenaInWyo]

+MsFlamingFlamer I think that's wishful thinking..he doesn't look anything like his dad.

[@emmyjo720]

+MsFlamingFlamer Lexie looks an image of David Bowie

[@NSHM122]

I agree. Neither of his kids resemble him.The only thing I can see, by watching this interview is David had nicely shaped eyebrows and it looks like Duncan inherited them. Other than that, i see no resemblance. Pity. Now David looked very much like his parents. I can see him in both if them.

[@leeleeturn]

I can see David here and there in him, nothing glaring or obvious, though. It's more subtle: the rise of an eyebrow, the curl of the lip, a hint of dimple, a touch of class. Plus he's a fairly nice looking guy, and I'm sorry, but he didn't get that from Angie!

[@madeleinehague648]

Charming son of David and Angie. He's a big guy...must've eaten his Wheaties!

[@kaguth]

"He's happy I've grown out of my D&D phase", well he's back in it now! Can't wait to see Warcraft.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

He's a lovely down to earth guy....I think David Bowie was the same in his private life..really nice, funny guy. I am really happy that Duncan has made such a great name for himself in film...with Warcraft and I believe Source code?

[@AA-ct7cb]

He's brilliant like David and Angie.

[@littlemouse7066]

Trudy Styler the producer is Sting's wife and Bowie and Sting both lived in NY and were business buddies so David Bowie had something to do with the production of this movie and I'm not saying this in a derogatory manner.

[@Louiseskybunker]

looks like that film 'Gravity' nicked a lot from this film

[@rainmaker690]

+Louiseskybunker This and Gravity aren't even the same film. That being said, this ilm was very interesting, suspense and fun to watch, mainly because of Sam Rockwell.

[@raindancer3705]

Thanks for sharing I was curious what Davids son looked like..nice looking inside n out :)

[@LeannFang]

He's almost an exact replica of David :)

[@lalala6751]

+Leann Fang I wouldn't say an exact replica but a very strong resemblance. He looks like both his mom and dad.

[@LeannFang]

Yes I agree, that's why I said almost. I do think he leans more to David's look's then Angie's but there is a mixture

[@rexmundi2237]

BOH-wie not BHOW-ie! - Bowie did not pronounce his name BHOW-ie so why should anyone else? BOH to rhyme with GO or FLOW, not BHOW to rhyme with COW.

[@BayviewFinch]

+Rex Mundi How did you choose those particular letters to try to represent the sound that he used?

[@rexmundi2237]

BayviewFinch Trying to come up with something phonetic sounding. Chosen out of sheer desperation because I'm sick and tired of hearing him called....BHOW-ie.

[@platypus18493]

+Rex Mundi Using the IPA, you could say it's /'boʊ.i/ and not /'baʊ.i/

[@rexmundi2237]

Platypus Easy for you to say :)

[@BayviewFinch]

Rex Mundi You're still confusing. You're trying to write how something sounds like to you, but you don't do it very well.

[@alecjohnson5269]

His father greatest most influential rock star ever Duncan is well raised and a clever decent man will watch this movie

[@lordtufty]

Hope his next movie is as good!

[@MrAlienJunkie]

Notice on the watch of Cpt. Colter Stevens in Source Code it shows (17:07) :)

[@caz846]

Duncan seems to be a well balanced , talented guy....his dad David Bowie would be extremely Proud of him... It's just so sad that he doesn't have a relationship with his mum Angie Bowie, I believe who hasn't seen him since he was either thirteen fourteen and not much before and not since. Every child has two biological parents in there lives and Circumstances and reasons I want pretend to know about, has obviously kept Duncan and his mother Angie...still apart. I find that sad and hopeful that they can one day get to be in each others lives again, as life is so short lived and with his own family it would be nice to have an extended family for his children one day , for its them that will question about their grandparents and reflect back on life and wander why .. It's just so sad, but Duncan is Obviously a Credit to David Bowie and to his Loving wife Inman... All the best in your future, make memories as they are so important..I wish you happiness X

[@edwardwhite7959]

Hi yours was the most recent message I have ^nt been living under a stone by i^ve only just got Internet my 34 year old son^s generosity i^ve just seen the interview . David would be so proud of him

[@louise7552]

Duncan does not want Angie in his life. He tried but she's toxic. Sad, but that is life. 😢 he has beautiful Lexi his dads daughter with Iman and the 3 of them are family. He is also married and has a little boy who was born 3 months after David passed away. Duncan took the gender reveal and they all found out it was a beautiful baby boy before his dad died. I cried buckets when he said that 🤧. ❤ forever.

[@BayviewFinch]

There he is, little Zowie Bowie, all grown up.

[@paigekboss1998]

***** But he does! If you look at the pictures of Duncan and David when David and Iman got married, the resemblance is uncanny! I really didn't see much of David in him except for maybe his nose, but there is this one picture when they look practically identical! The only difference is their eyes and teeth (not smile, but teeth).

[@personalcheeses8073]

I fail to see how it can be uncanny for him to look like his father, it's called genes. Who the hell else is he going to look like, Nelson Mandela?

[@paigekboss1998]

+Kristina Winter The person I tagged said he looked nothing of David, so I was saying he does in fact, resemble David. Yea, obviously there are genes, I'm not an idiot.
