His refined sense of humor is incomparable. His nuggets of truth are classic.

[@vickyswindoll686]

One of the greatest actors of all time and the most beautiful eyes!

[@Qwerty-db1js]

one of greatest speaking voices, i might add.

[@Discover-Ireland]

A true legend of a man we don’t appreciate them till there gone.

[@Qwerty-db1js]

True. I didn't even realize how talented he was when he was still alive. Guess I was too young then.

[@j.b.9581]

A TRUE classic, the man, the movies that he made, and his life is legend. He still shines, shines, shines.

[@hayleyannamathieson7261]

I adored him as a child and continue to love him! ❤

[@peterjansen8262]

When actors were actors and not just movie stars.

[@sableshepherd2485]

Holy sh*t. I've always loved and respected this man and his work....even more so now. Awesome.

Wise , classy n hilarious... This kind of gentlemen now r endangered species

A bit of Wisdom and a good ol dose of cop on is such a rare concoction in these dumbed down times.

Well said CN👍🇬🇧

[@jezebeljones659]

An incomparable, abundantly gifted man & actor! I adore his work & wish to god I'd met him

[@pat12533]

I am watching Lawrence of Arabia right now and he is amazing in this movie. He was truly a wonderful actor and he was Mr. Blue Eyes in my books. Rest In Peace Peter.....

[@philiphubbard6234]

I never understand why people comment saying I'm watching one of the actor's film and also watching a KZbin video, are mobiles/cellphones clued to some people's hands and they have to look at something on the rotten thing.

[@juliedeleon999]

Mr peter o toole is as good as wine.

[@915buck]

DAMN, he is surely missed, to be poised like that is such a gift!! WONDERFUL

[@63bplumb]

Some of that comes with age I believe.

[@JaniceLDN]

At the VERY LEAST, he should have won an Oscar once. He deserved it probably twice or three times over

[@billyb6001]

He got the lifetime

[@Jared_Wignall]

@@billyb6001 not the same thing. He’s not an Academy Award winner as he didn’t beat anyone for the Honorary Oscar he received. He will always be an nominee since he never got one competitively.

One of the best actor I have ever seen!👏 Pity that he passed away((

[@HollywoodArchive]

😭

[@DansFilmFiles]

I’ve said it for years, this man should have been Albus Dumbledore. Read the Harry Potter books, it’s his voice as Dumbledore.

[@GJ1607.]

He would've made a great dumbledore but you cant take away that Richard harris performance and gambons

[@Jared_Wignall]

@@GJ1607. Richard Harris’ family said O’Toole should have replaced him as Dumbledore after Harris passed away, due to his friendship to Harris and how great of an actor O’Toole was. Peter O’Toole would have made an excellent Dumbledore.

[@GJ1607.]

@@Jared_Wignall yeah I heard that too about Richard Harris's family asking for peter otoole to be given the dumbledore role. I also heard he was considered but due to his ill health they couldn't get him covered with insurance. Its a pity he would've been brilliant. Gambon was good though

[@anniehaynes1561]

Saw him on stage in "Jeffrey Barnard is Unwell" the best time ive had at the theatre ever!!! He was pure genius & hilariously funny ...my husband was in shock "Lawrence of Arabia" is sitting on the edge of the stage,swinging his legs right in front of me...😍thought he might faint😬😹

[@ijustgottasay1281]

Annie: I also had the privilege of seeing this show while on a London vacation. One afternoon I was riding on a double-decker bus that happened to drive by the theatre where it was playing. I saw the billboard that said PETER O'TOOLE in big letters, so I hopped off the bus as quickly as possible, then ambled back to the box office and got a ticket for that evening's show. A fortunate occurrence (loved the egg-in-the-cup bit).

[@guzaltashbaeva3778]

Ooh, how I envy you😅

[@muhammaddawood4382]

Deserved more than one oscars. It is hard to believe that he acted in Lawrence of Arabia,Goodbye Mr.Chips,My Favourite Year, Lion in the Winter, Venus, The Ruling Class and was not awarded for any.

[@anoobiscooking1193]

I know right

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s cause the Oscars are dumb as hell on a lot of occasions. The best hardly get recognized anymore, when they do in a given year when they deserve it, it’s sort of shocking.

[@TT_1221]

Yes, Richard Burton was also nominated 7 times for an Oscar but never won. It was never awarded to him. People like O'Toole, Burton, Harris were in many respects persona non grata in Hollywood. They just didn't play the Hollywood game. Tom Hanks they were most definitely not ..

[@Qwerty-db1js]

@@Jared_Wignall Agreed. Oscars can be damn dumb. There are a lot of Oscar winners, both men and women, I just can't stand watching their acting.

[@emilyseal3207]

Academy Awards actually meant something at that time. Even being nominated was a sheer honor. Now they go to whatever DEI candidate they can conjure up from the depths.

[@christinemaher9527]

[@brianocallaghan7172]

enormous charm eloquence and carriage avuncular erudite and elegant tall slender and graceful with a well honed cultured voice and sublime delivery of his era he really had no equal all but shadows behind his frame a classical actor unrivalled within our firmament . . . .he had it all and in spades. small wonder this poor man drank so much for how can you carry the weight of that talent unfettered . as an actor he really was a genius where most others were mere journeymen.

[@Giorgio-j6p]

As he said about being a "mere" entertainer... That's not completely true: HE WAS PURE BRILLIANT CLEVERNESS. A further wise person who lived his own, fulfilled existence at the whole proved experiences. A truly courageous champion of the species.

[@lauradominici73]

Vous êtes magnifique Mrs ....magnifique....

[@robsherfey4582]

How he didn't win for Lawrence I'll never know. How he didn't win for The Ruling Class or My Favorite Year I'll never know. Criminal.

[@Qwerty-db1js]

How he didn't win over Rex Harrison?????? So strange.

[@emilyseal3207]

He did win for Lawrence.

[@shaun5944]

Don't understand that. He's half way through being interviewed and then he's interrupted by the television! How disrespectful to a great actor. He handled that well 🇬🇧

[@brexitannia9703]

Brilliant actor... We had a few things in common

[@KristaAMartin]

Cool!

[@bethfiori4708]

A man this smart deserves smarter questions.

[@fernandkessler5608]

Un monument

[@maddy7]

Peter O'Toole definitely should've won for Lawrence of Arabia. Yes, Gregory Peck was great & he won, but O'Toole owned the grand and incredible film.

[@briankinnear1314]

I loved murphys war!

[@markstedman9099]

Roman Polanski= "strange little bugger" haha BRAVO Mr O 'Tool 😁

[@zxbc1]

I thought it was hilarious how he was gesturing how short Polanski was lol.

[@БоратСагдиев-р5ц]

And why did Peter o Toole never go to the Oscars? I was looking for information on the Internet, I could not find it anywhere, maybe someone knows why he attended the ceremony in 1981 and did not go to the rest.

[@donna9121]

There was a Johnny Carson show with Peter O'Toole on an Oscar night. When asked why he wasn't at the Oscars he said it was because he wasn't going to win. He wasn't bemoaning it but respectfully said who he hoped would win.

[@memoranda1]

good thing he didn't live to see the Marvel debauchery of acting....god that's terrible.

[@4Everlast]

WTF are you talking about ? The performances many gave in those movies are better than they ever gave, cause these movies allow them to explore all of the emotional spectrum and stretch their acting range, as you have to show more and more versitile emotions in shorter time and that demands talent. Single bit of a scene in a god damn trailer allowed Robert Downey to give a better performance than the entire 100 minutes of The Judge. And the performance you get from him in the comedy Due date with Galafinakis is beyond deep, but snobs like your self who think drama is the only valid acting shows how little you understand the toppic at hand. The extra clip of again Downey as the black curnal as he's just messing about is a better performance than 70% of people have who got oscars in the past 1o-15 years, i bet you never saw it didn't you?

[@juanvalenzuelaquezada802]

The fact that Roman Polanski won an oscar yet Peter didn't.... Nuff said!

[@bobbydazzler330]

Weren't the celebrities celebrating pollanski ?... the hypocrisy is overwhelming with these people they live in another dimension to reality .....

[@turk5832]

Some dreadfully dumb and awful questions to ask a man of his stature!

[@jay_rjabonillo9908]

Wondering if he was Dumbledore.

[@kateholland4980]

No, that was Richard Harris, one of his great boozing friends

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

He was considered for the role I think before Harris was chosen.

[@Bullroarer-oj3sp]

If only... though Harris was great.

[@markharrison2544]

O'Toole was a hammy actor who pretended to be Irish.

[@markharrison2544]

@nikto45 He said he was born in Ireland.

[@markharrison2544]

@nikto45 He actually denied being born in Leeds in a radio interview.

[@nealcraigcomedy]

He was a spectacular actor and was born in Connemara, County Galway in 1932. His family then moved to Leeds for work when he was only a few months old. Look it up
