Peter O'Toole Interview on Letterman | The Late Show (1998)

[@Giorgio-j6p]

Still having not enough anecdotes about Sir O'Toole's professional and private life. I'm truly amazed. What a vivid, sharp energy! Unique, brilliant, wise and superb person!

[@morganfisherart]

I love the way he respectfully turns and acknowledges the band as he comes on, and then they stand and applaud him in return. We need more genteel, kind moments like this in our mad, selfish world. Bravo!

[@Imsoconfusedthesedays]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. 100% agree with you sir

[@-Luka-Brazi]

@@morganfisherart - He’s an alcoholic. He would’ve acknowledged the honking traffic he stopped as he stumbled across the street!

[@VisionaryofMirage]

Incredible story-teller, I couldn't stop giggling.

[@0Imtheslime0]

Such an class act. Forever Peter O' Toole. Lived his life to the full..

[@67maverick]

A true gentleman with a wonderful English and a fantastic narrator who knows when to pause. Wonderful humor also has this gentleman.

[@jeremysladek6623]

I remember watching this very interview, live. I remember vividly crying with laughter! A master storyteller of which Charles Dickens would have been envious.

[@stevenhunter3345]

An incredible storyteller and gentleman. Charm, wit, brilliance...

[@thetricyclehorse]

I shall be in love with him as long as I breathe... just saw What's Nrw, Pussycat?, and he abd Peter Sellers had me roaring with laughter. But Dean Spanley will always be my favourite (and My Favourite Year). ❤

[@brexitannia9703]

Such a classy guy with a voice like silk a fabulous actor and sadly missed. They don't make actors like him anymore

[@MiRilag]

Peter is hilarious! Love his stories. Thx for sharing

[@VintageTreats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Goodfella1960]

Lived his life his way, enjoyed the hell out of it, and left us with great memories.

[@joetanaka6446]

Mr O'Toole is a great storyteller. He has the most graceful command of the English language. I strive to speak as eloquently as does he.

[@NJTDover]

What a impeccable spoke suit he wore for this particular interview. A gentleman from head to toe.

[@headgroundsman1650]

.....'same fella'.....omg absolute gold....God bless him.

[@junemarshall546]

Just love his gestures and the cute way he smiles and dandy way he puts his hands. He is such a gentleman and somehow quite child-like in this interview. He is more handsome now than he's been for a long time. He grew better-looking with age and more happier. Some of his interviews he seems quite sad. Poor darling. RIP Peter.

[@eileendoherty5317]

What a lovely sentiment.

Oh I love him ❤❤❤

[@susangirardi3655]

I love how he tells a story.

[@flanplan5903]

He could’ve been a stand up comedian if he could! RIP O’Toole...

[@yolainesene8691]

Thank you !

[@Fnelrbnef]

This guy would've nailed the Dumbledore role.

[@raoul2650]

Unfortunately they had to settle for Richard Harris............

[@nathanielpreston5377]

Actually after Richard Harris sadly passed away, his family considered his close friend Peter O'Toole as a replacement for The Prisoner of Azkaban but unfortunately the studio feared that Peter O'Toole wouldn't be healthy enough to carry on for the rest of the franchise. Even though he passed away 2 years after The Deathly Hallows part 2.

[@eileendoherty5317]

Agree! Richard Harris was perfect as Dumbledore. He had that warmth and twinkle in his eye that Michael Gambon didn't bring to the role. O'Toole would have brought that same warmth and twinkle to Dumbledore.

[@mariusloftum693]

Unfortunate that they settled with Gambon. Although Gambon admittedly got better, he was still just wrong imo. Harris was amazing.

[@AndyP998]

@@raoul2650 Harris was great on his role like every role he had. His best friend is O'toole

[@jezebeljones659]

Fire seemed to follow him around -- there's the story of his setting the kitchen on fire while trying to make French toast.

[@irishelk3]

Ah great, a new interview, where did you find it?.

[@kpec3]

He sounds more like posh English than Irish, but I loved him anyway!

[@BernardLinehan]

Born in Conamarra in the west of Ireland. Registered in a leeds hospital

Sharp suit.

Hi Anton Ego.

[@spinandmarty]

Letterman needs to shut up, listen and learn

[@-Luka-Brazi]

Alcoholics. Curious how we make heroes out of these terribly weak people!

[@garyfoster3854]

Perhaps because they’re more intelligent, interesting, and talented than you are.

[@-Luka-Brazi]

@@garyfoster3854 - Did your hands tremble when you wrote this, alchi ?

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA4AAAAAAAAAAAAA]

What do you complain about? He lived a long, happy life.

[@-Luka-Brazi]

@@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA4AAAAAAAAAAAAA - Pfft! How do you know he was “happy”? He himself likely couldn’t remember a damn thing!
