[@NipponNostalgicTV]

I watched the movie last night and realised why Eddie couldn't go as far as the other jumpers. You see, the extra weight and aerodynamic drag of his gigantic balls was holding him back.

[@THISshowSUX]

So true, he's the only jumper that left 3 tracks going down the slope. If he had an exrta ski for his balls he would smash the world record.

He is a brexishitter

[@jacudaboy]

i was 27 the year of the Olympics and I only remember 2 things about them. Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican bobsled team. Too bad his own country ridiculed him for trying in the beginning, but he turned out the be a hero for the UK. Way to go Eddie!

[@ElenadQ]

You have establishment there in UK who treats people from lower classes like if it was still Middle Age. No surprise Eddie got helped only from Americans and the nobility from the British Olympic committee always declined him.

[@jodie3950]

Real-life Eddie seems like such a sweet, kindhearted person. He deserves all the love and support in the world! Best wishes to you, Eddie. You're a legend!

[@abapaok]

Well said Nari, exactly how I feel too

[@sumerolu]

An extremely uplifting movie, very well portrayed characters. I remember Eddie, and as some professional athlete said, Do you remember who took gold? No!!! While that is sad in itself, it is fitting. Eddie was an inspiration to many while so many were interested in winning, Eddie knew he had no hope of winning but still played his part..Someone always has to come last, Eddie made the best of the journey! Don't miss this movie. it's great!

[@evilTaker90V2]

Actually a lot of people knows who took the gold, three golds in Calgary actually.

[@Frank_Cohen]

evilTaker90V2 I remember Eddie vividly yet can't recall who won gold. Sure, some know who won gold, but I'm confident more viewers of the time, like me, recall Eddie more than the gold medal winner

[@djmayor7015]

yes I remember Eddie but i dont recall who got gold at all, he made a massive impression on me as a kid, I was 7 when he went to Calgary the first time, was like wow

[@evilTaker90V2]

Frank Cohen Matti Nykänen won the gold, and two other golds. Matti is one of the most successful ski jumpers of all time. I like Eddie, but people only remember him because he was so bad yet likeable,and the only ski jumper from Britain to attend the Olympics to this day. I remember someone saying the other jumpers got mad at him because they thought he didn't deserve the attention he got, because you know, he sucked. Matti however wasn't one of them, Eddie said that Matti was always polite towards him

[@adriancook9864]

evilTaker90V2 matti sounded like an awesome dude,Must be a national legend back in his home,Thats was awesome of him on the way up in the lift👌 much respect,Shows what kind of person he was right there 👍

[@pjperdue1293]

Eddie, I lived in Calgary in 1988 and was home sick with mono, so I watched every minute of those Games. You were never a joke to the audience; you were the heart of the Games. (You, and the Jamaican bobsleigh team.) We always love to root for the underdog, so we'd give you a standing ovation over other ski jumpers. You were the extra-large heart and soul of the Games that year.

[@smkennelgirl]

His mentality in this interview I feel is higher than what was portrayed in the movie. What a sweetheart.!! An amazing man really:)

I really admire Eddie Eagle, not for his results, but because he represented the true spirit of the Olympics - "The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle" - (Pierre de Coubertin). We really need more "eagles" in the olympics that lift the Olympics to the skies...

[@euanelliott3613]

He was the classic unlikely hero, just an ordinary lad who had a dream and didn't care if he lost, he just wanted to do it. I watched him at the Olympics and was proud of him, he stuck to it and lived his dream, celebrated by this marvellous film. Well done Eddie The Eagle.

This was a wonderfully done film---and I am old enough to remember standing in my livingroom in Las Vegas, Nevada cheering on Eddie the Eagle! His accomplishment was fantastic then, and this is a wonderful, wonderful replay of those moments. I can't name a lot of Olympic medalists but will ALWAYS remember Eddie and his joy when he landed. Awesome experience all around!

I never seen any movie that inspired me and affect me. Thanks you Eddie Edwards And the director and all the crews that make this movie. This is the best movie I ever seen so far.

Eddie the Eagle was my hero, and still is. The people who criticized him totally miss the point of the Olympics in the first place. Thanks for the courage Eddie, then and now.

I never as a kid took him seriously.Saw a program on telly which showed his determination and courage which shamed me. Saw the film and cried for the hero few get to be.He was recognised as "our eddie"and the country gathered round a true hero.

Eddie along with the Jamaican Bob sledders, were the highlights of the '88 Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. I'm rather upset that I didn't know about this movie until now. I am so happy that he got to have his story told, and I really look forward to seeing it. Thanks Eddie for being amazing, and you were a star in Calgary, even if the press were trying to bring you down. Calgarians loved you!! Thank you for being part of our history. Xo

[@darrensherwell49]

Hey Eddie, I saw the movie on the weekend and I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. More power to you it's an inspiration for all us underdogs. God bless

[@BloPsy_Actual]

A common man, who may have not been a professional athlete by today's standards, but a person who had a dream of being at the Olympics and giving it his best. His results were not exceptional, but in the end, he was the star of the day.

[@Cascade-xf6vc]

Congrats Eddie your such a big inspiration to lots of people. I know your probably not going to read this but you a big inspiration. When I watched the film it made me realise how much effort and hard work you put in to accomplish your dreams it really does make people think about about the effort you put in. Thank you for being an inspiration.😊♥️

[@janschoice3855]

Eddy to me you are the greatest Olympic athlete ever! Your perseverance is unparalleled! You are an inspiration to many people! I live in the Netherlands but I am as proud as a peacock of you! I also had to swallow tears when I saw the movie. I hope you are well you are a true Olympian you gave 100% and not every Olympian can say that!! ❤❤❤❤🙏🏻😃🥂🍾✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

I met him several years ago and he is honestly the nicest guy. Such a cool experience.

"I've been jumping for 20 months when I went to the Calgary Olympics. Everybody else there have been jumping for 20 years, so there was no way that I was gonna beat anybody. But for me, getting there was my gold medal." -Michael "Eddie The Eagle" Edwards

[@OverlandOne]

A fantastic film about a really great guy. Once you see the view from the top of those different jump ramps, you realize just how brave/crazy anyone must be to intentionally launch themselves down them. Eddie is a real character and I am glad I got to see this film.

[@da72ma]

I watched the Olympic Winter Games, especially ski jumping and Biathlon when I was young. I don't know who jumped for my country. I don't know who won the event. I do know Eddie the Eagle and never wanted to miss his jumps. Everybody loved Eddie for him being him, for his courage, for his defiance of the standard, and not for the athletic performance performance. The movie about Eddie the Eagle took me back in time and he should be an example for anybody who is chasing his dreams.

[@groundhog5923]

Can't help but contrast the 1988 Winter Olympics with what we just witnessed in Paris. Eddie and the Jamaican Bobsled team earned the support of the viewers. It was an uplifting thing to watch. Contrast that with Raygun's break dancing and the 'Women's'(?) boxing spectacle we witnessed in Paris. We have to go back.

[@ryansullivan4298]

It's really cool to see this cause in the old footage of Eddie it kinda looks like he's not all there or missing a few marbles, but this shows that he's a very well spoken smart normal guy. So watching the old footage now I can see that he's just a kid who's probably just nervous and excited to be at the Olympics and on camera or something. So yeah it's cool to see a different side of Eddie. Great movie too.
