But even then, he wasn’t letting Julian finish any sentence and just kept interrupting to talk about his experiences. It was all very frustrating as all his interviews are. That constant laugh also indicates how insecure he is and in each interview he likes to justify why he is not married and doesn’t like children.

I'm only halfway through this and already can feel Julian's uneasiness over not getting adequate time to express himself. Julian is thoughtful and will answer in depth but is interrupted repeatedly. His body language shows he isnt really comfortable here. Julian is frustrated because he has alot of worthy stuff to share 😢...no need to bring Madonna or others up...he is so intelligent and awesome...I'd love to hear lots more from him ❤

[@deannamolnar2082]

Yeah. He said he had a headache. Bill talking over him gave me one as well.

Bill Maher should know a great host listens while the guests speak!

[@patriciaduffymusic3584]

So true. Know when to stop talking about yourself, Bill! Julian had so much about his life he could have shared, and he never got the chance, because Bill kept interrupting him to go on and on about Julian's dad. Terrible.

[@lauranathan1618]

When the interviewer does most of the talking and the guest remains gracious. Julian Lennon is very accomplished and just a fabulous human. It's clear that Maher just comes off as a Beatles fan ....

It must be frustrating for Julian to have to always talk about his dad and the Beatles. Bill forgot to ask about what Julian is up to, what he is working on or what's important to him.

[@johnnypunish]

Lovely to see and listen to a wise relaxed 60 year old Julian. It would have been great to have his father, who passed at 40, reach that age. The world missed John's wise years.

[@jeanmyers1787]

[@alexgrantham4747]

Bill spends the first ten minutes talking about Julian and then the next hour and a half talking about himself and The Beatles. I have a feeling this is the kind of radio interview that Julian mentioned was burning him out with anxiety.

[@screamstation]

had the same feeling. I don't know why Bill thought Julian would enjoy talking or discussing the Beatles. I have a feeling this is precisely what he wanted to avoid in his life. Hence him saying that he didn't even want to go and see Get Back. You can sense his anxiety throughout this interview.

[@seththomas9105]

@@screamstation Agree 100%. This was a horrible interview by Mahr. Lennon did a nice job of remaining the gentleman and not getting up and walking out. If Mahr wants to do a Beatles interview why dosen't he call Paul or Ringo? You could tell by the end that Lennon was getting board with Mahr and his Beatles this, Beatles that, bullshit. Mahr really let me down on this one.

[@JulesTools23]

I can’t begin to comprehend Julian’s pain from witnessing John’s immense devotion and interaction with Shaun, and being the househusband so he could be completely hand’s on in the raising of Shaun w/Yoko. To always be there. I admired that John stepped up to be completely available, but always felt that it must’ve been a double slap for Julian. Especially after John had such little involvement with Julian! In the end, celebrities are just people with different jobs than most. Have always thought that it wasn’t worth the exchange for having to give up so much freedom that we non-celebrities take for granted. You can be very proud Julian…you’ve been through it and seem like a true compassionate gentleman! I hope you are as happy as can possibly be, and live a long, peaceful life 🌻💜

So wonderful to see this! It is by far the most candid I have ever seen Julian speak. He has worked hard on overcoming a great deal of pain and it shows - what a strong, thoughtful man! I just want to give him a big hug!

The fact that John cried all the time about his dad abandoning him and then doing the same thing, but worse, to Jules: Unforgivable and inexcusable.

What a great conversation with these two. I didn't want it to end. And to think, I almost passed it up. Julian is such a sweet, sensitive human, Cynthia did a great job raising and loving him. When he said "You just think that she'll be around forever" hit me hard cuz I recently lost my mom too.
