Close your eyes and this could be him interviewed today. Absolutely nothing has changed in 34yrs. Most genuine person in music.

I’ve had a crush on Robert since I was 14 in 1990! Still do. He’s the most articulate and intelligent musician who puts all of his passion and dedication into his music. 😘

I went to a march for the cure in Robert Smith costume only 30% got the joke. But the ones that understood got a blast from it. Robert is king of 80s talent.

“He doesn’t think we are wonderful in real life.” How humble because they were are are still wonderful inside out ❤️

[@normsaunders4980]

Smith's humor. He just sort of lets a comment like that out & keeps going. Shows In the lyrics, too. IMHO

[@vanb.b7703]

[@HickW]

‘Getting too old to tour’. 😊 He didn’t predict 2022!

[@M.1607-h9n]

I already saw this interview with Japanese subtitles

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I think the makers of the show sold versions around the world, and made it in such a way, that presenters could be added in to suit each county of broadcast.

[@M.1607-h9n]

@@ScottishTeeVee Now I see, thanks

[@Guitarist888]

Did he cut his hair, or did he wear a wig? Because he had long hair from 87-89.

[@MrRobison94]

Probably the cleanest look he had for a short while. He looks like an alternative politician lol.

[@billyx67]

Ok " Scottie... " ; You got me to subscribe to you. Common interests in music. It helps after a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. I'm not living in Europe right now but if you can upload your favourite Virgin Prunes album or song I will appreciate it ; thanks mate. I bet you never heard a comment or request like that before... Yes I know they're Irish. 🌜🤕😎🤕🌛 .... Thanks immensely. I'll be more than happy to listen to what you have compiled after numerous pints and situational moods and awareness. Even sober. Look forward to a couple of jokes here and there from time to time from me. I promise .... No Novel or 3 chapter's of a book from now on. This is simply my personal interdiction.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Hmmm, Virgin Prunes, I do have some video of them, not a lot, But I will have a look. Johnnie Walker Blue, nice. I prefer mines peaty, like a Laphroaig Cairdeas Quarter Cask

[@freddiewadling2090]

Looks like John Cusack :D

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I see the similarities

[@Rafaelfo.]

what's the song playing at 1:10?

[@Rafaelfo.]

answering my own question: the caterpillar

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I'm glad you finally figured it out. Thanks for watching and commenting

Not seeing him in makeup is scary

[@christosnikiforos4103]

You mean not scary

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

You mean normal? 😜

[@microangels]

He looks lovely either way

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Robert Smith looking almost like a normal person? Wait...I don't think that's Robert Smith.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

🤣 These day's You'd think his wife would say to him that he now looks like someones scary old grandmother.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

@@ScottishTeeVee These days a lot of the people showing up to his shows are scary old grandmothers. Okay now you've put the idea in my head of what it would be like to have sex with Robert Smith, thanks a lot.
