Really find Morrissey interesting, im halfway through his autobiography, a really good read, im not surprised he doesn't have many friends, as many folk along the way have taken advantage of him, in the early days of the smiths especially, i have a lot of respect for this charming man.

[@RhiannonSoulsby]

Andy Parsons lol "this charming man"

[@achair650]

@Bish_imma_cow I would go out tonight, but I haven't have a stich to weaaaaaaaaar

[@h0lysockbob401]

He is the most fascinating human being I've ever seen.❤

[@seaniek9175]

Morrissey is very honest . It's a rare thing. It makes him stand out. Jonathon is the perfect man to interview him

[@trship6274]

Do you think? He makes me feel uneasy.

[@Wings_of_foam]

@@trship6274 Is it because you aren't true to yourself?

[@AW-kr9fl]

I don’t like his views but I like his refreshing honest attitude in interviews. No fake humour, stories or inane conversation

[@emiliajonsson1891]

You said it very well😇

[@fungiformenow]

I met this charming man recently in Chorley and we had breakfast together in a Holiday Inn. He ate very sparingly and was more interested in the piece of knitting he was trying to finish. He extolled the virtues of moleskin trousers, despaired of people who love golf and football and left his tea untouched.

[@scottc9100]

Jonathan the perfect person to interview him.

[@beachlife2968]

I would say he made it very awkward.

[@drugstorerecords]

man this guy is hilarious. i always knew comedians loved music and musicians loved comedy but a comedian musician? that could only have come out of the UK. all good things come out of the UK. I should know, I'm Australian. lol what a hero.

[@sexobscura]

*even convicts*

[@leonie563]

I saw him in Australia when just Morrissey toured. Small club and he was incredibly charismatic, sexy and funny. He ad libed the crowd and it was like watching your cousin do karoke. I think he lives in California now but it was nice to hear he misses old blighty....even day feels like Sunday....he perfectly reminisces about what the 60s was like. He and Robert Smith from The Cure were my touchstones. If I had to choose, Robert would win. He's so cheeky and smart but his musical taste is pretty outthere and I loce that. But Morrissey got me into books and art and philosophy. Glad I missed punk so we could do goth, post punk, new romantics and 80s synth nuwave. I'm enjoying The Weeknd touching all of that period from Souxsie, Tears for Fears, John Lennon amongst others. It's all cool again....kids are lucky to have it again.

[@deadinthebed963]

goth is post punk pretty much , good story though

[@whiteshadow59]

I wish I could be more like Morrissey. You know more like myself in life, with other people

[@royfr8136]

it takes money - otherwise people just think ur weird

[@letmegoletmego]

@@royfr8136 Money is the difference between an eccentric and a lunatic

[@plasticbudgie]

that one lady didn't laugh for the whole of nearly 4 minutes but 3:52 tickled her.

[@wahillyman]

[@craigbroussard1010]

breackinnews shit samich.poboy

[@woundedpawz]

I Love Morrissey. He has always been very Honest. Absolutely.

[@pinwheel8723]

"can we be friends are this show" "i don't think so"

[@davidcampbell4647]

As soon as Ross turns the conversation to eating meat Morrissey goes into full flow because it’s an issue he feels passionate about, previously it was one word answers.

[@TheRudegirl007]

Moz looking fabulous here. X

[@mazuchan9479]

oh God. Hes so beautiful.

[@fionam3735]

I love this man ❤️

[@emiliajonsson1891]

Great interview🤝

[@hilaryg493]

This interview is hilarious v sweet.

[@PiratesAndCowboys]

Love that he grew up in Manchester but has an Irish accent cause of his parents so cute

[@kenpudsey6435]

Roisin Dubh -his accent is posh north England,its not Irish!

[@wavell14]

he doesn't sound irish at all

[@alexthomson7465]

Irish?? 😂

[@imgoingtocountdownfromthir4580]

I grew up in the same area as Morrissey in Stretford, I even attended the same secondary school as him (although not at the same time) he has a slightly posher Stretfordian accent, with a slight Irish lilt, however in the 70s & 80s a large majority of people in Stretford had Irish Catholic roots.

[@SuperMoonwalker1997]

"Only seals perform" haha that's great

[@dogg755]

+Chinchin Chinchilla (Peggster) Thats arrogant.

[@SuperMoonwalker1997]

+dogg755 Nooo, he's really cool. Maybe he is arrogant but it's not a bad thing...not in his case.

[@danielorourkeartist]

This is like a conversation between a chihuahua and a labrador

[@JonA-br5hk]

It’s like watching Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, but in real life

[@thomassteedman6861]

GM thoughtful and considerate...clever guy!! 😊

[@oodelallyoodelallygollywha1878]

He still has a following and always will because he is incredibly talented, true to himself and writes meaningful songs. It's fine for you not to be a fan you must have something better to do than comment on a KZbin video of someone you don't like? It's quite pathetic.

[@skipads5141]

It must be incredible to be you, to have been born knowing about everything and never having to check something out you've only heard about. I apologize from the bottom of my soul for saying something you like sucks dog ass.

[@darlinjacq1552]

Jonathan, I liked your "preforming" movements with your arms ..

[@blackferdinand2260]

I love how much Jonathan tries to elude to marr

[@theraubyreport]

Not everyone likes the truth, and Morrissey is honest.

[@skeletonjam]

love jonathan ross

[@seanbarr5871]

This handsome man.

[@jareroken9127]

Morrisey is a legend in his own mind and Ross is a sycophant.

[@SardonischerDean]

Jare Roken more of a legend then you'll ever be loser

[@guyincognito143]

And you are a nobody living broke in a shithole.

[@Johnevickery]

Legend

[@frafilipoart4082]

That was fun

[@rabmc]

His mannerisms remind me so much of George Michael! Both legends

[@medicusv61]

This is so strange, but I 100% agree.

[@giampaolofini1535]

They appeared together, side by side, on a UK music review show called 8 days a week, probably filmed in the late 80's. Just type in both their names in the yt search and it should be the top result.

[@rabmc]

@@giampaolofini1535 Thanks for that, will search for that ❤️

[@luffyduffy7817]

Also two of the most beautiful men to have ever walked this earth

[@StevieZero]

Its the aspergers

[@Zionist-Occupied-Government]

Not many people know this.. but despite Mozzer's " Meat is Murder " bollocks.. he actually sits down to a Kipper supper on each Friday evening.. This can be fact checked as 100% !

[@NoPainNoGain200]

Russell brand would tell him off for not voting

[@ashleyburns6752]

He's so like me lol (or maybe he isn't and its all been an act to get people like me to buy his records)

[@pumpernickel4429]

You must be boring as shit then.

[@MattWeismiller1994]

***** What's wrong with being a shy introvert? Nothing, but for some reason it bothers you.

[@pumpernickel4429]

Matt Weismiller Alright, noted. √

Sushi tastes great!

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Imagine being made fun of your hair style and continuing on with the interview with a straight face and going on with your day.

[@Alexroberts666]

1:56 lmfao love him

[@PAULLONDEN]

Henry..3:53 was a laugh machine hick-up...

[@1westiegirl]

Does anyone else think he looks like Robbie Willian's ?

[@paulgrahamedwardspencer5161]

No Sir Stanley baker

[@sharmaarkeadan6206]

I came hear because of Ian Connor

[@NoPainNoGain200]

West wing! I have never seen Ross outclassed before!

[@NEOpantos]

[@Clleonie]

On point about American TV.

[@catthomas]

In 2004 that would be accurate… now, not so much-there’s a lot of good TV now.

[@Michael-zj7lg]

I've never voted myself either " Boy with a Thorn in his side." Holy Spirit.

[@NoPainNoGain200]

For when?

[@coldacre]

imagine missing television in 2024

[@NoPainNoGain200]

He is comic genius Orwell style

Can we be friends after the show? No I don't think so hehehehe

[@NoPainNoGain200]

My teacher said animals came to be food and not to worry one bit or squander any misery and life force thinking anything is wrong..simply get in the vortex and enjoy the music... morrissey has forgiven Jesus in his song!

[@manuelcc5452]

He is really a case.

[@ROC14088]

He's the definition of sigma

[@darlinjacq1552]

As I AM, I would like to call You Francis, if You would not mind 😁😁😁

[@gmbrereton]

Flip me! Everywoord is tongue in cheek

[@Michael-zj7lg]

He's funny. I never knew.

[@MrPKenneally]

it would be like living in an even more hellish version than england, the perfect place to write about horror and ignorance

[@alakey1173]

If I live for 346 years, I am certain I will never understand what made M think it would be a good idea to move to America. I just imagine Oscar Wilde going to live with the Clampitts. How could he possibly be happy in a non-thinking culture??

[@aaronhay5064]

why kill an animal and just eat it.

+Aaron Hay because it tastes good.

[@mozzerianmisanthrope406]

God. Thats all i have to say.

[@FindingYourSerenity]

He's 70?!?!

[@jfluffydog2110]

Clearly you don't get humour

[@jonathanromero3765]

what a courageous host to have the balls to talk to a diety like that 😕

[@maxyo288]

I love how unpleasant he can be

[@NoPainNoGain200]

Not happy boy... priests was he catholic?

[@darentsimon]

To think Ross was supposed to be a great host. Listening to this is making me squirm with embarrassment. Morrissey is a legend!

[@YinvsYang]

This Charmless Man...

[@highburyhoops6074]

Interesting how somebody with such emotion on the stage can be this dull. At least he is honest about who he is unlike most celebs I suppose

[@matthewburden-v5d]

So, intellectual heavyweight Morrissey, thinks the West Wing is for kids?

[@cordyone]

Jonathon Ross, who used to be somewhat interesting in his ch4 days, would never have the balls to interview Morrissey now. He'd rather play with his toy collection and interview his celebrity pals over and over again ad nauseam. How did British TV get to be so staid?

[@NoPainNoGain200]

BB TORTURE morrissey not me!

[@Neicorr]

No wonder Michael Parkinson is missed, this guy is sad.

[@Wings_of_foam]

What an awful interview. Leave him alone fing fake people.

[@videodiva2]

i don't understand how Morrissey has still so many fans, God these days he is saying all the right things isn't he? hes a prat!

[@315Bodhi17]

Had to look to google for the work 'prat'. Not nice videodiva2. You must be a Brit.

[@TheBeezusjones]

Oh Morrissey.. I wish you had just stayed loveably unloveable without becoming simply unloveable. I don't even want to listen to your music now.
