Words of wisdom from a man who has done it all, not trying to impress and just being real. Ronan is so down to earth and polite, saying thanks for every question asked and making sure he answered it well. His Mum is proud of him for sure.

[@angelikascott5836]

What a humble, brilliant and articulate man.

[@Radhatter1]

Ronan is a really down to earth individual. I’ve met him personally in Hong Kong and he’s not arrogant or aloof.

[@Kerry8404]

all the boys are the bit got me about his mum and steo x

Ronan is a very nice person. I first met him in 2008 when Boyzone got back together, and they had concert in Manchester. I had the chance to talked to him and Stephen Gately for like 5 minutes after their concert. Two lads were so grounded. In 2020, I met him again in London, and to my surprised he has a very sharp and keen memory. He still remember my name. I'm a year older of him, and we've talked about our kids. He's the same Ronan Keating when Boyzone was selling like hot cakes, and the same Ronan now, that he's more lay low and relax. Cheers, mate!

RONAN WEARS HIS HEART ❤️ ON HIS SLEEVE---- A FAIR DOWN TO EARTH MAN THAT HAS TIME FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE------ HES A REAL GEM 💎 ❤️

[@sandyboehm8190]

I like this Ronan. Very relatable. It must have been daunting being in this room, but you certainly did yourself proud.☘️💚🇦🇺

[@samantharichardson6956]

What a lovely bloke Ronan comes across as, he's amazing❤❤

[@MostCommentsAreFake-ud8by]

I used to work in a theme park working on kids rides. Music played from tannoys during the day. When Ronan singing `If Tomorrow Never Comes` played, parents on the rides with their child used to cry.

[@Tubingonline1]

Such a wonderful person. I wished this interview never ended.

[@alvirabellchambers2779]

[@courtyard1972]

Ronan is an ICON, such a genuine, humble, wonderful man and such a talented singer/song writer. That interviewer needs lessons on how to interview and be engaged and respectful to the guests.

[@maunpery]

Love you Ronan❤️

[@christinemutisya815]

a wise decision you made! music is food to the soul.

[@Cristinact]

He continues to represent Ireland's best

[@yvettefrappier4733]

Wow!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and getting to know more about your journey. I fell in love with Knotting Hill and your song sent me searching to find out who this Ronan guy is. Thank you for sharing.

[@cheryl1909]

LOVE ❤️ MY RONAN X

[@JT-ok6re]

He is a lovely human being!

[@DelightfulGears-jr4zy]

Mo re music more power more power love unan and ur music

[@ayahrestu3711]

Really happy to find this channel..I never expected that Ronan would be invited in a talk show with kindda academic atmosphere like this.. I have been a huge fan of Ronan and Boyzone since I was a kid back in 1997. I am from Indonesia and love to hear when Ronan shared his experiences about visiting Jakarta with Boyzone at 34:53.. :) Hope you'll come back to Indonesia to perform again as you did! :)

[@janettedavis6627]

I went to school in Birr Co Offaly Ireland and we lost one of our classmates to Leukemia in 1963 She was 13 years. Hi Ronan from South Australia.

[@Peter-su9ns]

My son losed his first girlfriend couple of years ago..... She was 31 years old -We saw her leave this planet of cancer....in Madrid,Spain....

[@customisedfitness]

And he claims he is not a great singer...how humble!

[@mercutio39]

That was class... a very nice man.

[@dhecitpurnamawati2664]

Yeay,Ronan 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@charlotted1321]

How he still talks about Stephen.. and the story about him and Keith reminiscing, heartbreaking

[@tinaramone6615]

The loss of his mother, heart breaking.

[@christinemutisya815]

Sad to learn about your mums death. Hold hands together and take care of each other. It's a worthy courses! God bless your foundation and you make a difference in the world!

[@wrinkelsecam9492]

I won't get tired watching and listening to Ronan's journey. The audience looked amazed or bored?

[@jamesdolan4042]

And the interviewer was at least initially very distracted.

[@Peter-su9ns]

LOVE Ronans jacket AND hair !

[@lourdesmagsipoc3833]

i love boyzone specially ronan ❤️

Gi here Philippines ronan yeah

[@Dannydaring]

Is it only me who is observing that Ronan is feeling nervous because usually on the stage he is so exciting and I always notice his glow🕊️🌅 I guess these questions have become too common and doesn't enjoy the joy in answering 🌻

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

Don’t think he’s nervous, but he’s avoiding a silence, which would be embarrassing. She isn’t acknowledging anything he says - she’s not very good.

[@soniakwok1776]

[@puissant6788]

I don't understand why the Oxford Union removed May's video from your list

[@zackgrant-butler9988]

Why has the Theresa May ‘Benazir lecture and Q&A’ video been taken down?!?! Please re-upload!

[@chun5143]

Handsome !

[@abuhuraira3685]

Work so hard that one day your signature will be called an autograph

[@chordz82]

The interviewer seems so disinterested. Her questions are so stilted and disjointed. Thankfully, Ronan kept it conversational with his humility.

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

Agree, she’s not very good.

[@soniakwok1776]

@@gaynormainwaring1853 Agree n Im not sure it’s her interview’s style designs like that When she interviewed David James Gandy (one of the great n humble 🇬🇧Super male model I really admire him too) Every time she asks questions, she is very aggressive and deliberately stays difficult to call Dabid. It is very difficult to answer Dabid. She doesn’t know how to respect the guests at all. So most of the comments are criticizing her as well

[@drienie2329]

She's Great!!

[@sakinapdf]

When will the Jason Roy interview be uploaded ?

[@maefrancessebache9640]

I just hate how this interview was handled by this girl. She appears to be disinterested in Ronan's answers. Example is on 14:30 mark wherein Ronan was wholeheartedly telling his story but his interviewer was looking at her notes for the next question? And some of the questions i think was silly. Like asking if working in the shoeshop helped him in his career?!

[@Pussycatfeathers]

This interviewer is really annoying me, shes not even listening to him half the time, is distracted, disinterested and keeps looking away from him.

[@courtyard1972]

She was a shockingly bad interviewer, very disrespectful to Ronan by not being engaged or at all interested in what he was saying.

[@FunkyTymes]

You say it best when you say nothing at all

[@Kerry8404]

He is the best singer ever x

[@FunkyTymes]

@@Kerry8404 He sings as good as he talks

[@nondevonessuno]

"Not arrogant" "Polite" "humble" why does everybody say these about the Irish as if Latins were banshees in a haunted castle in Scotland or something ??

No surprise he can't remember how many records he made. Doesn't care. Neither do we. Next.
