New Peter O'Toole advert

[@emilybacon3402]

[@katiesnell4570]

O'Toole's voice alone is so great. Great writing, too...never thought an ad would bring lump to my throat!

[@shaitarn]

@martythetickler He was offered a knighthood in the past (I think back in the 80's) and refused it.

[@pagalley1]

Brilliant man, brilliant actor, brilliant storyteller, brilliant gentleman, brilliant dresser, brilliant speaker, brilliant intervewee, brilliant drinker...

[@oscoe]

this is a great ad. I have seen a fantastic photo of Peter sharing a joke over a drink with Richard Harris - two old and grey men who both have a glint in their eye! They are suited and look like they are at a table in a fine hotel or resturant. I've scoured the web - does anyone know where I might find it??

[@joeymyers87]

Is this from a poem or speech? Because it sounds almost similar to one (but shorter) given when Alex Ferguson got an award, I think it was his lifetime of achievement or PFA merit award 07. Sean Connery was the one speaking then but its a beautiful speech. Please help?

[@Jason12575]

God YES! And was Venus a masterpiece? Yes. I think as legends of film rank I can only include Paul Newman as an equal. Also check out this interview. A class act for life, he is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnStaKCCrbWFbqc&feature=fvw

[@rkiry]

I've just checked that- They were at the Dorchester and the photo was taken by Snowdon. Just Google image "richard harris and peter o'toole" and it will be the first photo that shows up.

[@jbbroadbent]

its taken by Snowdon and is available in a book of his theatre photographs. national theatre bookshop may have a copy and the hotel is the dorchester or possibly the savoy

[@rkiry]

They were at the Savoy hotel I believe. The photo is under Google images, you may have to scoll through a few pages.

[@bangfarang]

But you've been out drinking with him, it seems, Jonathan. There's compensation in that.

[@Vincent936]

Is this a famous passage he is reading or something scripted especially for the ad?

[@officialpetedroge]

To clarify... the piano music was written and performed by Pete Droge.

[@richardluckman]

anyone know what piece of music this is??... really quite relaxing

[@jezebeljones659]

Well, 'Id def. buy the Sunday Times after that.

[@drcheekyisback]

Once in a while I come back to this upload…

[@dianadowning7992]

This man shows class and distinction throughout his body. Love O´toole

[@benoakes01]

[@officialpetedroge]

It's Pete Droge.

[@PhyroMcBruceEsq]

So true, so true.

[@natebaumer]

God almighty bless Peter O'Toole

[@wharfmouse]

Peter O'Toole is brilliant. I love his movies, the way he lived his life - he lived it his way - no bars. Read the book "Hellraisers" and read about his wild times with his friends.

[@jbbroadbent]

my pleasure! i think i have a copy of that picture somewhere. if i find it i'll let you know.

[@oscoe]

thankyou so much - thats really kind of you to take the time to pass that on! cheers! :)

[@Sloth55Chunk]

he was never knighted... he turned down the offer in the 80's

[@martythetickler]

@Asdrubalmao He actually hasn't been knighted yet.

[@bangfarang]

"Destinctive," KD? Yes, you could put it that way.

[@thestick52]

Just brilliant... As he has ever been! Thank you.

[@jeremygraham]

HAHAHAH LEGEND THE WAY HE SAYS VILLAN

[@HappiDoll]

That voice is timeless.

[@mastergunes]

what a beast

[@EdNortonisMineLol]

Oh, that voice!

[@capperr44]

I remember meeting him on the set of Lord Jim just after his success in Lawrence of Arabia, I was one of many extras in the movie and he would always stop and smile and say hello, then many years later I was in a pub in Chelsea with my girlfriend and he came and sat at our table, introduced himself (as if we didn't know who he was) and chatted with us as if we were old friends, I couldn't believe it. What a wonderful, wonderful man, a truly class act.
