Interview with Marco Pierre White in Sri Lanka

[@TheJpop617]

I could listen to marco pierre white talk for hours, he is trully inspirational

[@crazybones2009]

+Jamal Davis ...Totally agree, hes much more than a Chef. He inspires people on what you can achieve with passion. My grand parents are from Sri Lanka and what he says is absolutely true Sri Lanka is a paradise

[@heliopolis29]

Have you listened to the Oxford Union talk he did? Just put your head phones in, close your eyes and enjoy his story...

[@brentdavis5329]

🙏💛🤳

[@jamesdavies5266]

Me too!

[@no_handle_required]

I love how no matter when he's interviewed, he always gives the same answers. That's honesty. That's belief in what he says. This man, no matter what else, is class.

[@sajjansarkar]

or rehearsed answers :)

[@anotherrandomer]

you can't rehearse answers like this. He always has a smile and calmness when he's talking about it. Rehearsals won't give you that same kind of effect. For comparison purposes notice how he replies versus how politicians reply. This man truly believes every word he says. He quit the Michelin star business at 38 and is still making bank.

[@theEarlofChip]

Unless you ask him whether or not he puts olive oil in the pot when boiling pasta

[@jamesdavies5266]

Lol

[@BrotherTree1]

This is what I love about Marco. You give him a simple question, he gives you more than just an answer. It's incredible and inspiring. You can't help but hang on to each and every word he says.

[@onikkiadams]

he's insane and a gorgeous human being inside and out. he recently became part of the pantheon of great people I admire.

[@sajjansarkar]

Purely out of cusriosity, do u know anything about MPW other than what you've seen on this video? "gorgeous inside and out" is an interesting statement about about someone who has a definite dark side.. if you do know about the man and still find him gorgeous , i aplogize for my impertinence and will say no more.

[@onikkiadams]

sajjan sarkar I watch a lot of stuff with Marco Pierre White. And I'm just like any other person who just observes a person and appreciates who they are and takes them at face value. why are your assumptions of me so strong when you haven't even seen 1 video of me? kinda bizarre. and hypocritical.

[@SwissMarksman]

There is a video from him, when he was 28 years old, and damn sexy tbh. But I've read some stories of people that used to work for him oder under him, and they said that he was a legit guy.

[@aikomama4626]

I got great respect for Chef Marco..would love to have him as mentor in my life!

[@Guiltaur]

I'm a fan of Marco Pierre White and I am always captivated by his way of speaking, his way of engaging and communicating with others. However, seeing how he was affected by his time in Sri Lanka was so refreshing! It's wonderful seeing someone of his history of accomplishment possess the humility and respect to speak of being unable to cook Sri Lankan cuisine like the ladies who cooked for him. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't possess the same kind of "Oh, I think I could do it too." kind of mentality many other chefs display. What I mean by this is that he admits that he is from a certain culinary background and that is his foundation. He could definitely take inspiration from what he has experienced in Sri Lankan food but he would never try to "do it" or pretend to like many chefs who, to put it bluntly, bastardize cuisines that they are not trained in.

[@romanmarshall2382]

I love how they uploaded an unedited version. Marco knew he didn't do Sri Lankan cuisine justice, and he asked for a quick do-over. He then began by describing the women that cooked for him and highlighted their lack of equipment. He mentioned humility just before, and what a showcase of humility by giving such praise for the cooks despite his status.

[@1madaboutguitar]

He really is a true artist. A wonderfully insightful man.

[@thilolg]

What the bloody hell. He speaks like a freakin philosopher

[@josephelias9081]

because he is

[@rodrigopages1054]

hes a fucking genious! thats what passion, hard work, experience and love for your job does to you!

[@thilolg]

I could listen to this all day...

[@antiv]

I dont think you understand what he is.

[@erichan6985]

Marco + Julia Child = the goat

[@JasonGafar]

Marco: I've never had a strategy, just talent. Interviewer: what was your strategy? Marco: I've never ever believed in making a strategy. Interviewer: so what was your strategy?

[@Chrisbernstein]

Always loved his passion and how seriously he takes food, always been very inspiring when he talks about life and success but the more he ages the better he gets. also love when he's able to be a bit more relaxed and have a laugh and a joke

[@Benstephan123]

Marco is so wise beside being a genius. Thank you for this interview.

[@Naveen3278]

4:32 - "We'd love to keep you here for pleasure." xD Brilliant interview, questions were on point and the answers and replies from Marco are very inspiring words indeed, I could listen to him talk all day!

[@professrsmokem4299]

His answer to the first question was sharp as shit. His train of thought is brilliant

[@TheLifeofTed]

Great interview with some brilliantly asked questions. And of course with Marco being the usual amazing philosopher he is!

[@h.e.pennypacker2037]

Mr. White is an awesome Chef.

[@null140]

It's nice to hear someone so articulate admit that material/financial success has a lot to do with luck - and that you can't even begin to pursue such success by your own will if you don't believe you're good enough, or if you aren't immersed in just the right conditions.

[@maynordj]

I love when he spoke at Oxford period he was asked one question and ran with it for 45 minutes straight. typically when people do that they come across as arrogant or pompous or boorish. Not Marco. I couldn't even believe it was already 45 minutes

[@F1WW13]

Maynardj I’ve watched that interview about a dozen times. Truly admire this man.

[@christinekaye6393]

"Success is born out of arrogance, but greatness comes from humility." MPW

[@jeffreychongsathien]

He was in very good mood for this interview!

[@MarkWhippy]

Marco says its all luck, but when he tells his story it was hard work, to me it just sounds like he isn't giving himself credit for it. He says he worked for chefs unpaid, that has nothing to do with luck, that was dedication and hard work. Not many people would be willing to do something like that.

[@lizclegg7556]

But he defines luck as opportunity, and he did get opportunities. He points out that you have to utilise the opportunities.

[@QuinnyKR]

So true!! Success if all about luck! But need courage and dedication to take advantage of one's luck!

[@cd78]

Marco is one of a kind..

[@TheCFM19]

Marco is so inspirational and well spoken. It’s sensational.

[@Soulsoftemptation]

What a beautiful interview.

[@noelwilson5960]

#Genius Sri Lanka is a true Jewel of the World. Marco inspired is #phenomenal!

[@usaneebeilles9510]

He's got that wisdom, He's an inspiration, He's special- Marco Pierre White. Wish him in a good health. A happiness. Have a nice day🙂everyone.

[@Carboncluster]

... I have watched so many videos of this guy that I get hungry every time I see him :|

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Classical conditioning!

[@tkguha6918]

Marco talks like a scientist, simple and clear.

[@F1Oversteer]

What an interview

[@comedy_yak4764]

i cant believe how well marco can speak. if he ran for president he'd win

[@GH-oi2jf]

The UK does not have a president.

[@mtlblues4710]

Bruh, stop asking him if he ever had a strategy.

[@ainsbass]

I was thinking that... Why probe on something so much when Marco has clearly made his point.

[@skylakagetis]

His strategy is to ask Marco about his strategy.

[@JasonGafar]

Rudolph Venter 😋🤣🤣🤣

[@JasonGafar]

Haha

[@AlahuSnackbar]

I honestly think he didn't understand. Lots of people have a more mathematical and arithmetic mind and don't understand the other end of the pole which is emotion. Lots of folks cannot fathom a life of strictly feeling and emotions, which are equally as powerful. To them it has to "add up" and point A has to equal point B. To each their own.

[@1980cassius]

So refreshing to hear a different line of questioning with Marco.

[@ShilaDyrholm]

How to be a cameraman....... Zoom in and out all the time.!

[@makeyourself1988]

Sri Lanka is one of my Favourite countries

[@canthandleit101]

"id never had the confidence" spoken in a confident cadence with the hand signals of a confident person.

[@kolakbanana]

Such a great man!

[@onikkiadams]

"always show up for work when you're not feeling well then let the chef send you home."

[@hagridsnutsack3633]

O'Nikki Adams that's how most chefs roll

[@vvEgiB]

I really enjoyed that interview.

[@bloodfurypk666]

great guy and good video thank you

[@awanbiru-ride]

He has photogenic memory.

[@tomandband]

he speaks in prose

[@salsajames01]

Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly.......how long? how long? how long? Yes Marco !

[@RabbitConfirmed]

god i love this guy

[@jcherian20]

My inspiration in this vapid world

[@BlairBurnz]

This guy is bad at interviewing. No sense of humor and keeps asking the same thing over and over. Despite that Marco is incredibly sincere and totally guides the interview. It is only a shame that they kept cutting the video after about 2 minutes of his answer despite the fact that he obviously spoke for longer. Altogether horrible work by the entire pulse team but Marco's magic still shines through.

[@dominiquedixon8600]

Right! between that and the damn camera person with that damn jaring zooming in and out every 4 🤬 seconds

[@JACK28460]

Why can't the interviewer accept that he has never had a fucking strategy

[@shaundias4369]

best chef ... if stands now also if might obtain his Michelin stars back again, and other Michelin star chef would be die to work with me

[@ismailalansia8405]

shaun dias the mans retiredd

[@joerigpro]

"We'd love to keep you here for pleasure." :)))

[@slimnics]

+Joe Rigodon hehe

[@SahanTheMighty]

Awkward.

[@timwatson5883]

relaxed genius + good reporter= great video

[@shehanlakshitha6084]

💯❤️

[@jamesmaynard6367]

Strategy is the interviewers middle name fucking hell

[@redmotherfive]

LEGEND

[@stevenlamb2142]

English cooking legend!

[@MrKilakilo]

"Celebrity chef" I bet that pissed him off

[@TimothyBoersma99]

I’m pretty sure Marco didn’t like the “Celebrity Chef” stamp in the intro

[@lizclegg7556]

He was very tactile with the interviewer. And then there was the stuff about keeping him there for pleasure. And the right and revealing T-shirt. He's still cool though.

[@DanGulinobass]

what???revealing shirt?? Ha ha what are You talking about?😅

[@ivancarlson953]

To what do you owe your success?, "Well..."

[@HM13895]

So did he have a strategy or not?

[@AlahuSnackbar]

Not everything needs a strategy. Intuition is just as valuable. That was his point.

[@twistedsis100]

Get them plugs in boy 11:33

[@batboy.]

The professor

[@ivancarlson953]

"I'm too old. I'm too fat." "You're not too fat."

[@herdondoozer]

I love Marco but I watched his "Great British Feast" I would call his scouring of Europe for the best dishes to serve a strategy??????

[@coyhutt8022]

What’s the cameraman on?

[@sameeramadushanka5357]

Hmm... I wonder if he had a strategy.

[@Ivan1burnf4ces]

that was awkward at 4:32 LMAO

[@hagridsnutsack3633]

I felt it too

[@stitcha123]

I'm sure there's a tighter tshirt available for marco but it'll take some finding.

[@pamtufnell6751]

Box tree has gone now

[@chriswood6333]

are you waiting for a call?

[@stitcha123]

5:55 lol 'al a dente'.

[@Mr-qt4xr]

Marco has done more interviews than hes had hot dinners. ffs

[@Jamezontoast]

Him & Dr. Jordan B Peterson are the wisest people on the planet.

[@OO7RX7]

The people do make the country! Let's hope sri lanka does something about the racist monks!

[@solangemooney1107]

Money does not interest him???? So why peddling the disgusting Knorr cubes??? €€€€€ Luck ok...but this guy worked harder than 99% of people

[@SwissMarksman]

As a commie .. I feel quite terrified

[@erichan6985]

What went wrong ? I smoked weed to retardation. Ok..... I gotta stop . I will stop. Please God help me cause I can’t .

[@sirmi9868]

Marco do be a liar. Of course you have a strategy, to finish that interview as fast as you can😂😂😂👉 youre the best

[@rcg7262]
