[@Deathshuck]

Attenborough is an absolute living legend. The man is 92, and yet he's more sharp, lucid and coherent than the average person I meet. He's truly had a wild ride, living through WW2, seeing the world evolve from no TV to the age of social media and building such an extraordinary career. Clearly an individual in the upper echelon, and we've all been fortunate to have him in our life in some capacity.

[@dljarman3708]

He's truly remarkable.

[@GrabinGears]

Is he really 92 😮

[@davidrapalyea7727]

I will never forgive him for that damned climate hockey stick.

As a latin american, i saw a lot of nature documentaries with his voice... his accent... his wisdom... made me search for his name. Now i know who he is. Now I just want to see every corner of the world through his words. To look at him at his age, makes me think that i just want to keep hearing from David, as much as i can, as much as he lives, the wonders of nature.

If we had more David Atteboroughs on this planet we would live in a much more beautiful world.

Wow what a man, I remember meeting him at the national history museum in London. He was magical, was an honour to meet a living legend.

[@sarikatimmi]

no pretentiousness at all. he answers in his way but then always goes on to give an answer that the interviewer was looking for. (example: his favorite place is “home”, but also gives a geographic location). good man

[@MERISI001]

The worlds greatest educator. Sir David's programmes will educate generations to come.

[@DINOLOVER6717]

I’m an American (yes I know, I’m sorry too) and even I know Sir David Attenborough is a national treasure. He’s exposed us all to an absolutely marvelous side of this planet; he’s the reason I love exploring the magical spectacle of nature 🌍🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@romz5330]

I watched Sir David growing up as a child, and the first day i set foot in a forest on a hike, I felt I was in one of David’s documentaries. The feeling was surreal and fascinating.Thank you Sir David Attenborough for inspiring us all.

[@daria7076]

the most amazing man...i could listen to him for hours, our planet needs more people like him. i hope he will live another 100 years

[@RG-ja34sep]

I would do anything in the world to meet this iconic human being. He is amazing in any category, so inspirational, captivating, educational, and his longevity is unsurpassed. He has totally revolutionised the way we view nature on television, and enhanced our overall knowledge of the natural world. Sir David is an international treasure, hopefully he is blessed with good health for many more years. We love you Sir!

how is this guy always such a great interviewer he and Graham Norton are my favorite interviewers

[@SkavlanTV]

Thank you so much - we truly appreciate the feedback!

[@fellowcitizen]

@@SkavlanTV Have you ever interviewed Noam Chomsky? Listening to Attenborough, and realising how so few of his generation remain brought Chomsky to mind. I feel we must consult them extensively.

[@collinsspade7107]

Oh yess And Peter Thomas

[@jestestuman]

I think this is far better, place for a guest to speak instead of interrupting. It does not seem that obviously set like GN, where there are stories which seem pre-defined 'so you met Frank Sinatra' and then guest tells the same story told 50 times. Salute to you, Skavlan!

Great interview. Many people talk over Sir Attenborough, as he tells long, slow burn stories, but he’s got a remarkable talent for speaking, and when you let him say what he wants, everyone wins. Great questions as well, and the setting was lovely.

[@terminusest9179]

He definitely is one of the most recognizable voices in our history. We have all heard it at least once in our lifetime and it will never disappear from our heads.

Sir David is truly one of my heroes! He has truly made a positive impact on so many people and this troubled planet. He kicks (figurative) ass harder as a nonagenarian than most people a generation or two younger. And there's no better host/narrator of nature documentaries!

[@MichaelBennett1]

A legendary interview with a legend.

[@therealKINDLE]

David Attenborough & Jacque Fresco are the only two genuine scientists I know of. They're not patriotic, religious, political or opinionated. They're dedication to the truth as a means of identifying & understanding reality is unsurpassed. And I have complete respect for them in risking their reputation in their 90's by challenging the way we live on this planet. We should be backing them up. *_"Anyone who believes in indefinite growth upon a physically finite planet is either mad, or an economist"_* - Sir David Attenborough *_"People do the most desperate things to stay alive. The day we move beyond money is the day we learn to take care of each other instead"_* - Jacque Fresco

I've never really heard of him until now, I've recognized his voice most definitely but never looked into it, now a few years has gone by and I'm very intrigued by his story, his life, and particularly im very interested in the topic of health and longevity, how has he reached the age of 94 and counting, what is David Attenborough's diet like? Lifestyle? If anyone has any information on this I would gladly appreciate it.

[@Daichifan1]

David Attenborough is the Morgan Freeman of documentary narration

I would consider David Attenborough voice is more iconic than that of Morgan Freeman. For one thing he has done it way longer.

05:31 It is worth mention that recent neuroscientific evidence shows that we have evolved the ability to establish mental neural networks using the quantum entangled nature of Mirror Neurons to think and/or act in a cohesive and coherent manner.
