Christopher Reeve Interview - ROD Show, Season 3 Episode 51, 1998

Our interview with the late, wonderful Christopher Reeve on the fifty-first episode of the third season of The Rosie O'Donnell Show.

[@chrisleigh485]

I broke my neck a year before Christopher. He was my hero as Superman, and he is my hero still today.

[@wolves1980]

How am you mate

[@machismo8482]

It's amazing how good he still looked especially after what happened to him and how upbeat he was and his amazing attitude. It's sad because you can hear the ventilation machine in the background, he couldn't even breathe on his own 😢.

[@c.syde65]

He'd only been paralysed for 3 years by that point. Living out the 9 years that he'd spent paralysed took quite a toll on his appearance. On top of losing some of his hair.

[@dmer-zy3rb]

@@c.syde65 his hair had nothing to do with the accident. the man had alopecia and already wore hairpieces since the 80s.

[@c.syde65]

@@dmer-zy3rb I know. But losing his hair certainly helped contribute to him looking older than he otherwise would have done. And if he hadn't had the accident, he definitely wouldn't have aged as quickly as he did.

R.I.P Christopher Reeves. You will always be our superman.

[@Hdwrguy]

The one and ONLY Superman. This was a man with great character and inner strength. We will always miss you!!! RIP Christopher.

[@cathyrudd2304]

Love the guests Rosie had on her show. Christopher Reeve was such an inspiration. The best part is Rosie actually let’s people talk without interrupting. You can’t find talk show hosts like that anymore!

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

LOOKED AMAZING such a great Man and we all loved him. RIP sweet man

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

How beautiful and a shame that we haven’t made more progress on exactly what he was speaking about … roles for disabled people just cast as regular everyday characters - normalizing all of our different abilities. On screen. Representation. Beautiful interview.

[@Km-jl2cu]

Somewhere in Time his movie Is so beautiful. Rest in peace Chris and Dana Reeve❤. I enjoy seeing your son Will Reeve report on ABC news .. I know you both are so proud best seats in heaven 🤍🕊🤍🎭

[@markfarnon6742]

He'll always be Superman - none better.

[@Polterguy]

🙏RIP Christopher Reeve🙏

[@lilbirdztube3698]

Robin Williams was once asked about his friend C.R. He immediately dropped his comedian act and said that C.R. is perfectly capable of managing his own life. After C.R.'s death, his wife died of cancer. My heart broke for their young son.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Yes. Will's an ABC correspondent, Matthew's a filmaker, & Alexandra's a lawyer. The 3 orphans just sort of "kept shuffling, stumbling, & bumbling" after the death of their parents!

[@whitepuppysub]

Rosie always had AMAZING Guests.. LOVED her Show and LOVE her to this day.

[@StephenLuke]

RIP Christopher Reeve (1952-2004)

[@russellkellett9535]

There will never be a better Superman then Christopher Reeve never

[@karenkingrey6142]

Oh man. I know I’m not supposed to feel like this, but seeing this made me just want to cry. I always adored him! He and his wife were taken way too soon!

[@Gemmarose9012]

What you’re feeling is compassion, and it would be worrisome if you didn’t feel that way.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Yes, so true!! Chris & Dana, ya know.......they made a double-hasty beeline for the exits! It's a good thing that he died first, becz' she kept him going. Without her, he probably would've been put into an institution!

[@JessicaFigueroa-j3i]

His wife died shortly after he did right?

[@nayellizabeth]

@@JessicaFigueroa-j3iyes, just few months apart

[@bereal6590]

Same 😢

[@robzphotoz5465]

That everlasting smile and charm!

[@fetchmeastorm3670]

Thank you so very much for this interview! ❤❤❤

[@emmalisa8181]

LOVED HIM!!!

[@ReesieandLee]

WOW this is the first time I’ve watched him since I broke my neck and became quadriplegic in 2021. I was lucky enough to be fixed by surgery and am able to walk and function properly again.

[@nateboytwo]

I’m so glad , be well 💛

[@matthewmcdonough5601]

I’m happy for you, was it a car accident? Most common reason for spinal cord injury.

[@ReesieandLee]

@@matthewmcdonough5601 well since I’m special (🤡) I simply fainted in my driveway and landed with my head against the house and it shoved my chin into my chest really hard and snapped off a piece of C4. Such a stupid simple fall changed my life and the lives of my family forever.

[@Gemmarose9012]

God bless you!

[@ofiskox]

sorry if the question is stupid, but i thought its still impossible to heal/repair spinal cord?

[@antmagor]

You truly was America’s Superman by anyone’s Measure

[@MilagrosRotger]

Rest. Inpeace

[@vickitaylor680]

I read the book and really enjoyed it.

[@chrisleigh485]

He is still the most handsome man I have ever seen.

[@DarrenOSullivan-j2n]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Scottwilkie18]

R I p Christopher

[@Scottwilkie18]

At the time Christopher had appeared in the movie remake of rear window

[@dmer-zy3rb]

which even though brave and kind of boundary breaking for disabled actors was not a good movie.

[@endtimeawakening5557]

It's a daunting thing when your physical body dies and your spirit remains cognizant and sharp. It seems to awaken the eternal spirit within us, making us realize that we aren't only these temporal bodies that are destined to die. We're eternal spirits made in our Creator's likeness. This physical life is like a classroom preparing us for the next place. Christopher and Dana are in that place now, along with billions of others. ❤

[@smallvilledvd1988]

Respect for the upload video, I love you! Stay Super! (S) ❤

In memory of Superman

[@williamburke7383]

Too sad to watch. R.I.P. Christopher.

[@Matowix]

The hope and research he promised didn't come

[@Giorgekaka69]

Ame la presentadora ., 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@realscience948]

I worked one summer as his wife’s private lifeguard…on Martha’s Vineyard…88 I think?

[@ericdreizen1463]

There are things I won't do. Get on Blue Origin, get on a submersible to the Titanic, & get on a horse. All it takes is one mishap & u're either dead or experience a living death, like Christopher Reeve!

[@nateboytwo]

Why is there like a wave sound ?

[@qindeelashfaq6578]

That's the sound of his ventilator, he couldn't breathe on his own.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@qindeelashfaq6578 Yes, but I don't remember it sounding so pronounced. 🤔🧑‍🦼🙏🕵

[@aidanlynn]

@@SuperMarioBrosIIIMaybe cause it’s right next to his mic.
