Larry King interviews Brando (Audio Fixed, 1994)

I do not own or claim to own this video.
Props to the original uploader but I couldn't make out anything being said.I will remove this video at the request of CNN aka Turner Broadcasting aka Warner Media aka the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Gotta love business consolidation! I just dig Brando.
Thanks for watching, check out my channel for more!

MARLON BRANDO IS THE GREATEST ACTOR EVER🎉🎉🎉

[@gorkmusic]

I love this guy. I love his poetic worldviews, his anger at injustice and his contempt for showbusiness/marketing.

[@hgoodin1013]

If you want a great interview with Brando, let him talk about what he's passionate about. Too many tried to make him talk about what they thought the audience wanted to hear. Or what Hollywood wanted. He hated to talk about acting so most interviews were him trying to manipulate the conversation in another direction. IMO if they allowed him to speak about what he was passionate about, rather than trying to get him to talk about his process or plugging something, people would go see anything he was in out of sheer fascination of who he was as a person. The best interview I've seen with him was with Dick Cavett in 1973.

[@XXSTEAKYXX]

Marlon wouldve been killing it in the Podcast era. The interview with Connie Chung always pisses me off

Love Marlon Brando real ness. One of the few real people in Hollywood. He was also well informed of other people’s struggles firsthand . He also was one of the best actors ever.

[@janetclaireSays]

I love Brando. But I don't think there was much "realness" to him. He was always performing. Everything for affect.

[@grawakendream8980]

@@janetclaireSays i disagree completely; he's clerly responding here at an impulse level. he's probably as unconcerned as someone can get, which is not a lot for humans tbh.

"Where is your Oscar? - I think my secretary has it" hahahaha that was so funny! Just says a lot about his personality - of how he doesn't care about the awards and monetary gain. He stayed true to himself and what he has done. He is truly an inspiration!

[@ppuh6tfrz646]

To say that Brando didn't care about monetary gain is pretty ridiculous, to be honest.

[@johndavenport6218]

From the center View I just learned that Marlon Brando was a hell of a comedian

[@sorayaraza5827]

Actually, he did not. He let friends steal from him cos they were poorer, let his dad lose 0000's in bad investments. But, later in lufe, after 3 divorces, losing 20 mil thru his dad, his island and all those Israeli or Civil Rights or Native Am causes, he had to do ANY work to get money. He did not sell his soul...friends n wives n sex are not in his book, not did he do adverts like Karl Malden or Michael J or Liz T with perfume.

Such an interesting, intelligent man. Wish I could've known him.

[@janetclaireSays]

Brando is very clear and makes a lot of sense in this interview. I have to hand it to Larry King for not letting him walk over him -I think that helped to get him to speak so sensibly and not just BS him through the whole interview. Also, age and weight did not take away his features and charming smile. But, he must have been so pissed off when he saw that they kept his bare feet and little stool in the shot.

BEAUTIFUL MAN 💋🙏❤💯😊🥞🍺

[@vrvaughn]

I worked with Marlon on Don Juan DeMarco… I loved the man… very eccentric as a man who has been indulged his whole adult life can be… but very knowledgeable about the things he’s passionate about.. and very charismatic and engaging when you’re lucky enough to be in one on one conversation with him. He was cantankerous, funny, a prankster… treated the crew very well. I could tell stories but they would take to long to type.

I think that the interviewers are not really listening or understanding what Marlon is wanting to say!! He constantly is saying in ever interview I have seen of him he’s not wanting to talk about his fame; movies, money, wealth he just wants to talk about topics news anything helpful to other people.

[@paulascott5701]

The only reason anybody knew about or paid attention to Brando was his revolutionary, compelling and amazing acting talent. The world is chocked full of philosophers, activists and opinion holders but only one person could ACT the way Brando could. He seemed to vacillate between over self importance and distain for his own gift. He did not enjoy mental health. I don't know what happened to him around 1960 but he completely lost control of himself. Sad but interesting.

[@Pablo-ig7tx]

@@paulascott5701 What do you mean exactly when you say he did not enjoy mental health ?.. i read Brando was a very sensitive and self destructive person for what he went through as a Child.. if he could have, i am sure he would have chose to be happy fame did not make him happy at all... Brando was a Really good person despite his errors, he is just a human being and could not ever face his demons

[@paulascott5701]

@@Pablo-ig7tx It depends on how you define "mental health" doesn't it? You seem to acknowledge that Brando was unstable but then you assert that he should not be counted as a person who was not mentally healthy because of his childhood. If a person is unstable because of valid reasons, they are still unstable. Brando admitted to being a "failure" as a father. I would rather stay that he simply did not father any of his any children (that he had with at least a half dozen women), he intentionally disrupted movie productions and gave the reason as "because I can", he bought other women home in front of his wives, etc.. He did not enjoy mental health. I do not condem him for that, it is merely a fact. Even is friend and next door neighbor, Jack Nicholson, called him "Mar-Loon-Brando"..with affection. Nobody can touch Marlon Brando in the field of acting. I would not have wanted to be close to him personally.

[@horaciocapanelli-soto4710]

@Paula Scott I agree with a big portion of what you said and without entering the “mental” zone here (because I believe we all drag some stones from trauma just in different proportions) I just think he would’ve been much happier as an theater actor. He was an actor for love of the craft, it might’ve been also because it allowed him to wonder away from his own issues I don’t know but, as unfortunate as it sounds theater actors are less known and appreciated by the masses. I believe the theater makes the greatest actors it just doesn’t sell as much as the cinema industry. But one would have to be completely in denial to recognize that his demeanor was condescending in huge amounts towards people who only felt curiosity to know how he’d become the as great of an actor as he was. There was no need for the cockiness

I Absolutely love Marlon Brando!♥️♥️♥️♥️If you're not an American Indian, you're an immigrant. Brando was as real as they get. He had the looks, talent & empathy for people. He was always for the underdog. He really was a genius. He had so many inventions patented. Those slipper shoes that you wear while swimming, he had something made for bongo drums & an underwater system that air conditions hotel rooms in Bora Bora & I believe also in Tahiti. Brando knew something about so many things. I wish I was born then.😔😪

[@CG-ee1cz]

From several interviews I've seen of Marlon Brando it seems he is scattered but it's on purpose, he is humble but mostly low self -esteem to accept the praise by saying" acting isn't hard, everyone can do it" minimizing his talent. However seeing an interview with his unimpressed father remark he isn't impressed with Marlon's acting/movies you can tell that likely is why Marlon remained minimized ignoring the compliments to his talent because he heard his father's remarks to likely anything he's done even before acting. Notice he shifts questions off of himself and on to the interviewer to avoid speaking of himself. He had a lot he kept in but made sure no one truly could see the real him/emotional baggage. R.i.p. Marlon Brando
