Terence Stamp on the Late late Show 1988

Terence Stamp and Doctor Anthony Clare, my favourite tv interview ever! such a fascinating discourse of how to be.

[@powerboatguy2308]

What Mr. Stamp is saying, the biggest impact you are going to make on the world is first making yourself better. So many of us are focused on impacting the globe, solving conflicts etc. that we don't do the proper housekeeping in our 4 walls.

[@walthammassagefitness]

Irrespective of the idiosyncrasies, I love the venue and the timbre of the conversation. You don't see anything like this today.

[@SandraOke-sw2bf]

Intelligent, interesting and profound conversations, oh how I miss these in depth shows

[@soeffingwhat]

I remember watching this in 1988, I was 13 and I was saying to myself "wow General Zod is in Ireland" lol

[@goldeneddie]

These are the interviews I grew up watching in the UK. Deep, balanced, intellectual debate was what we were famous for, addressing issues like depression, individuality, community, connection and consciousness. Now look at tv interviews - loud-mouthed, heavily made-up Essex girls and boys shouting about 'wot a slag me fella is' and 'ow I shagged 'is mate who is well fit'. Then - for 'entertainment' - they will play a game with pictures called 'Whose Arse is This?' And this is _progress_ apparently.

Late late show Gay Byrne

[@soeffingwhat]

@@johnflynn8879 The late late show used to be shown in a one hour edited format on channel 4 in the UK so they did get to see it there. The west coast of the UK used to be able to get RTE too. Its all digital now of course.

What a wonderfully spiritual Man.

[@timmccaffrey1326]

What a great interviewer Gay Byrne was the way he left these two fascinating guys talk away without interrupting then every second...master interviewer w=and great guests.

[@LucyHall1]

yes I agree, used to love watching his show.

[@jimbobjimjim6500]

When he wanted to be, he was.

[@faithoffaith]

I just miss these types of deep and philosophical conversations on TV. We don't have anything like this now but trashy reality programmes.

[@timmyodaley1411]

Thank you so much for this......

[@LucyHall1]

wonderful isn't it!

[@keeleyg1]

A very intelligent man. As an ex-pat, I can certainly relate to his remarks about the effects of leaving one's country...

[@davidtaylor328]

I Love Terence Stamp ( Zod ). 👍

[@hollingbourne]

Gay Bryne guided his presentation beautifully. There was such a warm presence from everyone...an extended version would have been nice.

[@antigen4]

i like his way of looking at things

[@user-wb2kx9ns4w]

Charming charismatic

[@MidlandsMoS]

Fantastic interview.

He was so ahead of his time. #consciousness No, being aware of your own self and consciousness is the same as being ‘individualist’. Yes, the relationships between people are important. It’s only through our interactions with others, that we can learn any of the most important things in life that we are actually here to learn. We are both the leaf and the tree.

[@maryrose4712]

Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton were the most amazingly beautiful couple, check out the Terence O' Neill photograph.

[@soeffingwhat]

I remember seeing a bit of this interview during its original broadcast. I think it was later than 1988 though. I remember watching it and thinking "wow, General Zod is in Dublin" lol :-D

[@edcampion3998]

Terence stamp class act.

[@timmyodaley1411]

Awesome....

[@pal54321]

fab actor

[@mastanfordma]

Superb clip. Thank you. Stamp in top form with intelligent, considered responses. This is from the long running Irish TV show hosted by Gay Byrne. However, is it really 1988? I thought it might be later. Stamp didn't release his third autobiography Double Feature until the following year, yet in this he is discussing his 1993 novel The Night.

[@rayshortt3989]

yes this is definitely post 1993

[@13strange67]

' Live each day like it's your last ' ! I can relate to that : still here ( strapped to a Life-Support Machine ) with various tubes inserted up my arse and other orifices ! Call me a 'Bed-blocker' but I shan't leave this here Hostipal till I am well and truly dead !

[@shaq1]

A lot of people in the movie industry talk about depression, death and suicide if not carrying it out, case and point Robin Williams, you would think he had so much to live for, I am too poor to waste money on poison lol

[@fusionhar]

TRUTH IN LANGUAGE

[@Nopperabou]

Clare completely misunderstands what Stamp says. Stamp says "we're all part of the same consciousness" which he interprets as "oh you're an individualist".

[@treeduck3705]

Yeah he seemed to want to turn Stamp's thoughts about consciousness into a comment on relationships.

[@MrJamesdryable]

I like how the dude instantly changes the subject when the ego was threatened.

[@film_nirvana]

I get confused between Terrence Stamp and Udo Kier.

[@robertgarcia5809]

Yeah. They kinda resemble each other. Wow😊

[@jamesfrench7299]

It's a shame he didn't get to flesh out his intense General Zod we glimpsed in Superman The Movie in favour of the more two dimensional one we ended up with in Superman II.

[@markgbyrne]

Have you not seen the Richard Donner cut then?

[@jamesfrench7299]

@@markgbyrne yes but it looked disjointed. I'd rather just watch Richard Jester's.

[@NH1973]

@@jamesfrench7299 "Richard Jester" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Vicente480]

What's the question at 17:20 and the answer?

[@CEJ499]

I believe he asked him "Do you think you'll ever get married?"

[@calculus8219]

Theres a hint of Daniel Craig in Terence Stamp's visage and demeanour..

[@maxamilliansteele6454]

_HE LOOKS LIKE TOM WELLING_

[@plantpoweredjack9847]

Tunstell!

[@rebeccaburke9009]

Too bad about the moderator. What a crime.

[@irish66]

Wow. The comments here are so much different than those shown regarding the clip featuring Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Sometimes Gay could be brilliant and at other times, an arsehole.

[@danieldalton6544]

Terence would make a much better psychiatrist than this quack. Hello, not everybody has connections with others, family, friends, relationships. So, what do you do then?! Stamp makes much more sense. Just a horrible Dr.

[@rgearr1808]

I think this is mid 90s.... doubt its 88

[@irieite9666]

[@williamr3840]

Find Stamp always fascinating and very calming -- but Clare seems oddly aggressive and full of unecessary stress. In fact, Clare looks like someone headed for some kind of breakdown. Weird. :0/

[@davidbreen8702]

He had a heart attack and died in his 60s.....Clare that is.

[@kevinbetsy-w9424]

Clare was a genius and a good man. He helped a lot of people that nobody else would, without fanfare. He was high energy and perhaps indeed burnt himself out

[@rachelclare8928]

It's Gay Byrne not Anthony Clare 😂

[@kevinbetsy-w9424]

Imagine graham Norton or tubridy doing this. Wouldn’t get any insight just puerile jokes

[@LucyHall1]

not sure i agree i think that he is actually very good! just different.
