Rock was such a lovely man ,luckily we have all his wonderful movies and tv series that keep his memory alive.We can see his beautiful face and enjoy all his performances he created over his life time.

What a beautiful thing to say. Thank you. 💐🌈🐦

'Was it?!' Love his expression! Gorgeous guy.

[@sircxx8621]

Hi Rock, I’m just watching ‘Lover, come back’ with you, Doris Day & Tony Randall. I’ve been meaning to watch it for ages but have been so frightened that it wouldn’t be as good as ‘Pillow Talk’ but 20 minutes in and of course it’s perfect. ‘Send me no flowers’ with the three of you again is next on my list and I’m sure that will be amazing too. Thanks so much for all the happiness you bring to us, you really were the best in the business.

[@kristenraejohnson]

Rock was so humble, honest, unpretentious, and naturally suave.

And year later, he was gone. Sad. Today He’d be alive with all the drugs we have now.

[@garydunn3037]

I really miss the Wogan show. We just don't have any good talk shows here in the UK anymore. Just Jonathon Dross, and that Norton fella, and their shows are only on for a 5 or 6 week run. Wogan was on 7 nights a week from 7.00pm to 7.30pm.What do we get now? Just miserable soaps, with aweful storylines. Bring back some decent tv. r.i.p Mr Wogan & Mr Hudson.

[@brianmcneill1972]

he was on 3x a week ( Mon, Wed, Fri) Just after a while it seemed like he was on every night!

[@dcanmore]

Hudson looks really healthy here but sadly went into rapid decline shortly afterwards and died one year later in October 1985.

[@colmjulian5257]

Just my thoughts

[@kensuke0]

He likely had it around this time but it didn’t progress to aids yet.

[@ralex3697]

Actually he looks gaunt and sick

[@jackbrown4120]

I've just watched another interview of his less than a year after this and the difference is unbelievable... Aids worked fast in the 80s.

[@cgab12]

There aren’t enough Rock Hudson interviews.

[@danielmay1278]

Don't think he liked them. I heard he would deliberately tell stories to conceal who he really was, which was a homosexual. People should have just left her alone. Wasn't the best actor in the world, but yet you couldn't take your eyes off him.

[@Madmen604]

He is sick there. Interesting and sad. Nice man.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

is your dad single?

He was gone a year later

[@susanmurdock9055]

Good interview with these 2men.

[@PungiFungi]

Hudson here is modifying everything he said and did: from the way he moved and the way he spoke; as he had stereotypical gay mannerisms and he took "lessons" to move and talk like a stereotypical straight man. And he is also had to be careful on what he was divulging in the interview...lying by omission, basically.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

Sad to think that he could have survived just a few years later. He did well to keep his sexuality secret, no chance these days.

[@ralex3697]

Never made it to 60

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

good looking man but he's right he could pass for an every day man. he also doesn't come off remotely camp at all. i bet a lot of women hit on him.

[@ralex3697]

Weird comment

[@johnrotten3268]

He just doesn't look gay to me lol.

[@ralex3697]

Looks are deceiving

[@Whatt787]

Not only was he gay, he was a bottom--He said he knew he was gay ever since he was 9 years old

[@ballygeale1]

Never liked any of the two

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

why are you here???

[@DennisBloodnokPhotographyVideo]

I vaguely remember watching this back in 1984. Rock Hudson is a very interesting individual to listen to (some so-called stars are dull and boring to listen to) It would be interesting to see the full-length version of this interview ?

[@LARomeo-jy9uw]

He likely wasn't near as masculine as he appeared .
