Peter o toole , Richard Harris micheal Caine and Robert Shaw! What a list of incredible actors

[@johnkennethwiseman5460]

Oliver reed, billy connolly, christy moore, richard burton can be added to said list

[@cjmc123]

Incredible drinkers!

[@ATOK_]

Donald Pleasence was also a great drinker and actor

[@Donalob]

You listed the hall of fame there for me. Especially Harris - best actor I've ever seen.

[@PopeLando]

I just now heard about this interview on the Quentin Tarantino COBNAF podcast!

Why what do they say about it?

[@Ganiscol]

You have this grizzled english giant of acting, Michael Caine and an all fresh, slightly star struck Conan - good stuff.

[@dlxmarks]

Caine was 61 in this clip and, all things considered, looks great.

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

Conan was super fresh faced.

[@waynej2608]

​@dlxmarks Indeed. Especially for a boozer, he's aged incredibly well. Much more so than O'Toole at that age. Or say, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris... Richard Burton never saw 61.

[@evand6817]

I got to admit, I actually laughed when Michael Caine first mentioned he played Stalin. Then I saw the clip, and I wasn't laughing anymore.

[@tomislavdokmanic]

I might create another account just to like this comment one more time :)

[@OOlympus]

Man, he was awesome! I want to watch the movie rn.

[@codystewart1014]

Wow. Same-sies! It makes me think of all the movies I haven't seen! Time to start watchig, I guess lol

[@007ndc]

When Lions Roar is a good little film. Bob Hopkins as Churchill, John Lithgow as FDR and Michael Caine as Stalin.

[@waynej2608]

Caine is such an amazing actor with a lot of range. I missed that show, but I plan on accessing it quite soon.

[@chemicalbrother7613]

Conan is in awe of Michael Cain as I imagine he had seen "Get Carter," "Italian Job," and "The Man Who Would Be King." Who wouldn't be, really.

[@barfymann362]

The story is in the book Hellraisers : The life and Inebriated times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Oliver Reed. Great read. There is one about how Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris were so drunk that they tried to eat some meat, and Richard threw it out the window. The next day they saw a dead cat next to it.

[@thetylife]

Was the cat crushed by the meat or alcohol poisoned by it??

[@barfymann362]

@@thetylife From what I understand, the meat itself was not safe to eat.

[@hazbutler]

O'Toole tells that story on Carson I believe. Its on YT. The twist being that Richard Harris says it was a dog.

[@TheKillahKyla]

Was Richard Harris Dumbledore?

[@barfymann362]

@@TheKillahKyla Yes, in the first HP film.

[@equine2020]

Love him. Such good movies.

[@MarceloKuroi]

I've just listen to Conan and Quentin Tarantino in the special episode of the podcast talking about this clip. Of course, is no coincidence.

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Conan was fantastic.

[@steveblack610]

Class act.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Alcohol destroys inhibition cells in the brain. Very true. You make a fool of yourself and get dodge courage in return. This could get you in a lot of trouble.

[@doeyjiaz4798]

I forget who said it first, but if you want to say Michael Caine in a cockney accent just say "My Cocaine"

[@rafflesxyz4800]

Not too bad the Yank. Surprised!

[@paul-hu8gi]

I have seen photos of Peter O'toole and Richard Harris together but never Peter O'toole and Michae Caine together.

[@OrbbKlesk]

Fun fact. The correct way to pronounce his name is My Cocaine.

[@Allagi22]

This is an amazing story of two legendary actors but also a harrowing tale of the real dangers of alcohol. It is ASTOUNDING that Caine here does not consider booze a drug. Many men of his generation thought/think the same. "I don't do drugs." meanwhile they drink so much they lose entire days/weeks due to a booze bender. Alcohol is a hell of a drug. Far more dangerous than many drugs that are illegal. I say all of this as a person who still drinks, that has also had serious consequences BECAUSE of drinking. I do enjoy drinking alcohol. But if I could go back in time, rewire my brain and just choose to NEVER try alcohol from the start----It's hard to argue that my life today wouldn't be better for it. It's also never too late to get sober which may be my path going forward. When I tally up the good times and bad times with booze......the real damage done is not really worth the temporary euphoria or good times I can never remember. The problem is that alcohol is legal and so readily available and at least as you're getting drunk the rising action, there is a sense of ease and relief and inhibition as Sir Michael Caine mentions. But to keep that level of functional euphoria, you have to drink. Which often leads to drinking more than you intended, which leads you to being far too drunk, which leads to regretful situations like Caine ended up in here. I've done some very stupid things drunk but never lost track of TWO WHOLE CONSECUTIVE DAYS blackout wasted. O'Toole and Caine weren't social drinkers they were full blown, fast lane to cirrhosis and liver failure alcoholics. The fact they lived as long as they did is luck.

[@theart8039]

When actors take themselves too seriously

[@CHEERSMEOW]

lol Alcohol is an effing drug. How or why does he not want to acknowledge it.

[@racheledwards2352]

British actors were all drunks-- all starting with Richard Burton and Oliver Reed

[@G02372]

“You can’t do drugs and drinks alcohol” 🤔

[@masterxyr]

young Conan doesn't seem real. It's like the wax museum lent him to the show

[@CUMBICA1970]

Now I'm curious, did Stalin speak English that good?

[@robertcottam8824]

Stalin was a very good linguist but he didn’t speak any English. Obviously, he spoke Georgian - his native language - and Russian. He could certainly read Greek. I believe he learned to speak some German as an adult. This is pretty impressive as all four belong to completely different language families. It’s a while since I’ve read it but I think that in his book, ‘Young Stalin’, Simon Sebag Montefiore reckons that he knew some Turkish and Armenian also. I’ve got a copy but can’t be bothered to check. If I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me - which I wouldn’t resent in the least. Best wishes

[@wolfganghasenmaier8350]

So Churchill was the small bird... Stalin was horrible but a smart fellow. One villain recognizing a much smaller version of himself

[@angelwings7930]

To see a beta like Conan or whatever his name is, interviewing the likes of Michael Caine is quite a contrast. 😂

[@lawrence97431]

O'Toole, Harris+ Shaw are Irish not English

[@johnricercato740]

Shaw and O’Toole aren’t. Both were born in England and were brought up there. Shaw ended up living in Ireland; O’Toole made a lot of his Irish heritage but spent most of his life in England.

[@timburr4453]

well they did make the death of stalin. a comedy

If you are reading this right now, I pray you will get what you always pray for, I pray you will get the happiness you want in life, I pray things will work out for you. Never give up, good days are coming.❤️🙏

[@rondunn4336]

Why are drinkers so proud of being drunks, anyone know why?

[@johnricercato740]

You obviously didn’t live through the sixties: all that happened was that people became inordinately proud of getting high all the time.

[@frenchprovincial9602]

Conan O'Brien's fake laugh gets on my nerves.

[@garyspence2128]

It's not fake if you believe in what you're laughing at. As for your nerves, just have a stiff drink and you'll feel much better. You might even laugh...

[@littlethuggie]

Conan has been talking over people and making lame jokes for decades since.
