The SAD Tragic Ending Of HERVE VILLECHAIZE

[@lila6117]

May your new home be filled with love and happiness.

[@harbingerview]

i watched these shows also....that was a golden era for television. Nice to hear other people share the same memories. TV really started to die off in the 1990's when reality shows and game shows took over. No longer did these dream like shows, that were relaxing, being produced in any volume. Now I don't ever watch TV anymore. The plane ...The plane....immortal words for a generation..

[@ndog2005]

Just a Huge Thank You for info on Herve. Shocked he took his own life. Oh, loved the bee insert, thank you, Loved Fantasy Island...

[@mrbuchanan92373]

I met Herve at the Ontario hospital where he was visiting patients with his dog. I then went to his house in North Hollywood and actor's would hang out. What I remember his publicist was very nice and Herve was always gracious around me. Thanks for telling his story

[@bitterellaselectricgroove8544]

What an outstanding vlog, Jordan!! Growing up in the seventies, Fantasy Island was a weekly treat. The tragic ending of Herve's life is very sad. He was and still is, in my book, an icon. I also want to note that I appreciate the little nuances in your videos. The beautiful roses, the one with the bee, the extra footage of the house with the bears, etc. It's what sets you apart from all the others. You have a true heart and real kindness. Thanks for being you!! ❤️

[@serenatymundy395]

One of the things I admire most about you is your humanity and grace. Thanks for telling his story with respect and compassion. You have a true talent for story telling. For some reason you can tell even the saddest stories without bringing people down. You are such a blessing. Thank you for sharing.

[@3BricksHigher]

Awesome props Jordan. I don't know anyone else who spoke as well as you did man. Nice

[@JasonJames72]

Wow incredible video.. sad of his passing and dealing with pain. Luvd the bee's buzzing around too. Never knew much of Sonny, I just luv Cher. And omg all that kiss stuff, I would have decorated myself. From the land down under 🤩

[@conniefeltman3189]

He had many challenges and problems! Bless his sweet heart! I still hear his voice and line he said when the plane...”The plane the plane!” Thank You for sharing!🌹

[@Speedy9yo]

Great job on the vlog! Even though I know you already moved, I was so thrilled for you when you said goodbye to your old place. Tristan is going to be the coolest kid ever! That was so lovely of you and Eric.

[@cynthiadameron1399]

How very generous of Eric Singer, that’s awesome!

[@WS-1]

A great overview of Herve`s career . For those who are familiar with Fantasy Island and his subsequent work with the James Bond franchise , he will be forever remembered . Many thanks for this .

[@Heather_Lynn]

I remember watching Fantasy Island and love that when I was little. Tattoo is probably The character that I remember the best from Fantasy Island! I was only 14 when the series ended and I never heard what had happened to Hervé. What is sad ending to his life. I’m glad you were able to finish up the blog on a happy note! I imagine Tristan absolutely loves all of the memorabilia that Eric signed for him! What an amazing and giving man!

[@SuperKat619]

Thanks for the vlog. I didn't know much about Villechaize other than the TV show he was in. Now I have to watch My Dinner with Hervé.

[@angelalinderman3993]

Jah!!! I always wished that Fantasy Island was a real place! Thanks so much Jordan ❤️ I didn't know how much pain Herve was in, so sad...

[@altheaharris]

That show use to creep me out sometimes.

[@lindasavage6157]

Awesome job Jordan a ty for going out doing this for everyone have bless day Jordan

[@aussiecoastie72]

Great video , very sad end to a very talented actor . Very kind of Eric to donate those items ... I saw Eric with kiss in Sydney years ago , he was one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen to this day .

[@mryorkielover]

I remember seeing him in a Builders Emporium back in the late 80's with his bodyguard. A little girl with her mother came up to him and asked for a autograph. He was quite rude with her and said he was shopping and didn't want to be bothered. Me being young and a dick went to the next aisle over and started yelling out "The Plane, The Plane". At this point he lost it and stormed out of the store. Like I said, I was young at the time. Probably in my late teens. Sad story. Rest in Power.....

[@scottb.7239]

It would have been easy for him to give the little girl the autograph ...I'm with you Mr Yorkie ...some times maybe Celebrities are caught at an off moment ...bad day ..sure ...we all have them ..but maybe sometimes they are simply douchebags ...like to think the best though ...especially with the pain issues...the little girl probably watched more Love Boat after that than Ricardo and Tatoo

[@altheaharris]

@@Azureecosse Me too!..LOL!

[@finnickrinzler8907]

Lmao! Awesome.

[@jimmysapien9961]

Some people forget where they came from that’s the problem with people these days !

[@Stewieboy1995]

He didn’t have to be an asshole to a little girl. Maybe he deserved being yelled the plane the plane at him. He wasn’t very nice to a little girl, if it’s him thinking he’s so special and famous then he was very wrong and deserved to be insulted at by yelling the plane the plane. Karmas a bitch

[@mariaday712]

Such a sad story. I didn't know Herve was in that kind of pain. Too bad someone couldn't help him. Thank you for telling his story. I remember him in Fantasy Island. I hope he's resting in peace. Enjoy your new home and may everything go well for you and Jah in your new place. Stay safe and Take care.

[@cindycinnamon1965]

I always hit the like button before I watch because I know I won't be disappointed with the content of the vlog and today was no exception. I remember watching Fantasy Island every Saturday night along with The Love Boat when I was growing up. Thank you for telling his story, Jordan!

[@megz_85]

Oh what a sad sad ending to his life and so heartbreaking he had to live his life in such pain but he did still thrive in whatever he did. RIP and thanks so much Jordan for this vlog. Enjoy your new Zip code! Wishing you much Happines and Jah. Love to Amy 🙂💛

[@georgemckenna462]

Jordan's videos have a gritty authenticity and poyiency. This is achieved in part by a young person who actually lives in and is struggling to make it in the bowels of the tinseltown beast. I hope this quality doesn't vanish with Jordan's new zip code.

[@MrI.F.S.]

Thank you for a wonderful vlog, Jordan. I always wondered what happened and the back story to Tatoo. Thanks again.

[@anacristalmuniz1644]

Wow the drum sticks and posters and t shirts thank you Eric that's rock and roll.

[@angelacuthbert6644]

I think it's great you've made this video bless you because even though he was quite famous at one time nobody else has remembered him...

[@briandt75]

Hey buddy, long time no see. What to my wonderous eyes should appear, but a link to a Jordan the Lion youtube video. Sent to me by a friend in North Carolina, as we were talking about Forbidden Zone. I knew you had this gig going on for some time, but it's the first time anyone has ever sent me a link to it randomly. Hope you're doing okay and staying safe out there. If you're still in LA hit me up sometime. Ciao!

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

Great tribute. Giants and dwarfs sadly have a lot of physical ailments that plague them throughout their lives. The Man With The Golden Gun was the first Bond movie I watched and is among my favourite. RIP Herve.

[@sherrihinton8567]

Thank you greatly for this compassionate story. He must have been in such great mental and physical pain.

[@docbrightside784]

I must say that you are one of the best story tellers on KZbin

[@kerribell8416]

You told the story so compassionately and tastefully. I always loved watching Fantasy Island and wondered what had happened with his career.

[@amandaprice2489]

Moving on is good for the soul. I love your stuff. Hope you keep making vids.

[@lauraodle5816]

I'll always remember the show and "Tattoo. " Wishing you all the best in your new place. New beginnings are wonderful.

[@Chutney1luv]

Ahhh, "The Plane, The Plane! I loved Fantasy Island! Tatoo, was a pistol! Such a sad ending for him! Very good narration Jordan! Also, Eric Singer, did an amazing thing for you for Tristan! All of those gifts of autographs will be treasured for life! KISS ⭐🎸🎶🎸⭐🎸🎶

[@davemersino3176]

Glad to see you finally were able to get a haircut. I’m on day 94 of quarantine and in dire need of a haircut, but all salons are still closed out here in the Imperial Valley.

[@Farallonjoe]

met him when I was a kid many times. He had a small boat in the marina next to ours. He was always nice, friendly, and loved to fish. He liked the cheeks from yellowtail so most people would save the heads for him. I'm actually surprised to hear all the negative stories.

[@jenniferkenney7595]

Congratulations on your move... Good Luck on your next chapter & thanks for taking us with you!😎🎈🍀

[@alh9750]

Hi Jordan I enjoyed this vlog well done . Herve is a classic sad Hollywood story you handled so perfect. Believe it or not I loved the bee on the rose classic Daze savvy ! Sonny was a classic story !

[@ellennewth6305]

Herve seems to have been a talented man with a tortured soul. His was such a sad story. You told it beautifully, Jordan. On another note, it was fun seeing the video of your "old" apartment for the last time. The place where the "Adventures" began. Hope you and Jah are getting on well in your new digs!

[@JulieR73]

Those flowers you’re standing in front of are just stunning! Such a tragic story of his life. I had no idea! You did a very respectful job on this!

[@jimmysapien9961]

As always👍🏻

[@scottieburnett5606]

Great vlog! This was a sad story, but the second story, involving Eric Singer, added joy to the vlog. What neat gifts to give a young man! 🌹🐕🦁

[@Cowgirlfrom_Hell]

I appreciate your extensive knowledge on all these people. Your videos give me a nice distraction from all the bs in the world and I always love learning all I can about celebrities lives. I’m fascinated lol You’re awesome!!

[@mariannejennisch9293]

Thanks for sharing that I could not remember how he passed. I loved watching him in everything.

[@Books_and_olfactory]

Sad story, sad looking house. Well narrated, thank you for sharing.

[@candacedolan4857]

Another great video. Fantasy Island used to be one of my favorite shows. You never disappoint! Thank you for being you.

[@annmeyer2854]

What a touching story... who would have known Herve was in pain like that?

[@1alsturgeon]

Man you know Eric Singer?! Such a cool dude. I live in the UK and have always heard if you send him stuff to sign when he's in the road he'll sign it and send it back free of charge. Been afraid the post office will lose it somehow though lol.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's true actually.. he has a p.o. box, and if you send things to that address, he does sign it and return it

[@joanlightfoot6065]

Great blog as always! Good luck with your new home with Jay! Love from Josie Labrador x

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Thank you for telling Nerve's life and the pain must have been unbearable.The roses were a nice touch :) Eric Singer is one super nice dude.

*Hervé

[@SallyGH2020]

I have loved watching your vlogs, and I hope you have a safe and wonderful move. When I was a teenager (in the 80’s), I loved old movies and had the good fortune of having a cousin in show business who did “Showboat” with Van Johnson, who I had such a crush on after seeing “Miracle in the Rain”. I was 13 and it was such a thrill to get his autograph! I love it that younger people still love old Hollywood. ❤️

[@yolandadelazerda207]

Sad indeed Jordan. I'll always have good memories of Fantasy Island,Herve and Ricardo! Love the little bit you've shown of your new place! Blessings on you and Jah in the new place!

[@evonnewilson1073]

I loved watching Love Boat and Fantasy Island on Saturday Nights when I was a kid. Sad story-I couldn't remember how he died. Your haircut looks nice! Eric is a nice friend and so are you to Amy's son.💕

Behind the vlog research and time you take to make these vlogs are much appreciated Jordan! Keep up the great work!

[@angelacuthbert6644]

Awww bless him... brings back childhood memories of being at home with My dear Mam and Dad who have passed away now 😢 I loved fantasy island and the love boat... I think I was about 10 at the time I'm 50 now... such s long time ago. So sad he took his own life I hope he's at peace 🙏

[@MrLXFlores]

Hi Jordan. My wife and I watch you all the time . That actor used to live by my friends house in Oxnard, Mandalay Bay community. My late friend Mike knew him . Around 87 ?

[@alemdaimaginacao4666]

good night alright my name is Junior I'm Brazilian did you know him personally was he your friend? I have always been a fan of him for a long time. I am looking for someone who knew him in his personal life. I really wanted to know what he was like as a person. I learned that he helped children. It made me admire him. Tell me a little about him, please, until today I sail to his soul my eternal idol Hérve villechaise

[@pdxer8895]

So Sad. We never knew from watching. Loved the show, especially the back drop was LA Arboretum. I went there as a kid and loved it. Thumbs Up!

[@SteveW60ish]

Well done Jordan! Soooooo respectful on your part = you rock pal !

[@reconnsupernaturalsyndicat1493]

Jordan you are the best! You love KISS and Elvis just like me. I met Eric Singer at a drum clinic at Sam Ash in New Haven, CT around the time KISS decided to put the make up back on. Eric and I had a great conversation. Thanks for just being you

[@kiethee]

Hi Jordan so glad you r out of there hope you will be happy in your new home so sad just shows you what fame can do Very sad. Loved the series stay safe catch u next time

actually met him twice. once at a chili cook off when I was a kid , and once at a Tattoo convention In Anaheim about a year before he died ( Tattoo as in ink not the character ) he seemed pleasant enough at the time . happy to have met him.

Herve spent most of his fortune helping other people afflicted with dwarfism. His most notable contribution was an apartment complex where everything in said apartments was scaled down to size for little people. Little people were allowed to stay at these apartments rent free. The apartments are still standing, and named "Stay Free Mini Pads".

[@annehedonia156]

Wait. What??!! Stay Free Mini Pads? Is this a joke?

Hey Jordan good luck on the move and thanks for the great videos

[@rickdrais9737]

One of the last times I was in L.A. and staying in Anaheim, I saw an ad on local TV with Herve standing on a little hill next to the tarmac at LAX, pointing at every plane that took off, saying of course “De PLANE! De PLANE!” and at the end he’s totally in the dark, shining a flashlight upwards, saying “De PLANE!” It was so sad. Don’t remember what he was advertising, but I remember feeling extremely sad that a star like him was reduced to doing such crap just to pay the bills. This was probably only a year or two before his suicide. Like I said, so sad…

[@annuknowthe1562]

Thank you for that one Jordan. I use to watch that show. I have often wondered what happened to him. I am so glad you and sweet little Jah have started a new chapter in your lives. Much love. Wishing you every happiness for your new start.

[@jamescox5626]

I once worked on a TV show called “The Big Show “. We had him on as a guest star. As his girl friend was leaving the set Herve dropped a pistol out of his bag.

[@TuckerSP2011]

A very sad story. It's hard to think about how much pain he must have been in but he also got so arrogant with his success. I never really enjoyed those shows, Fantasy Island or Love Boat but Herve was very cute and had a beautiful face. Good vlog.

[@The123bill]

Thanks Jordan. I'm sorry Mr. Villechaize had such an unhappy and troubled life.

[@lorih2924]

I remember hearing about his death by suicide. Loved watching him on Fantasy Island. He was good looking. Thank you for sharing his story and showing us his last home. Such a sad ending. It’s great that you have a great friendship with Eric Singer. I’m sure Tristan was over the moon when he got all that cool Kiss stuff. Glad you and Jah have a new better place to live now. May your new home be blessed. I missed the very beginning of your live stream the other day so I missed what had happened to Amy other she was being harassed. Somebody on Breck’s live stream mentioned about it. It upset me to tears that she was being bullied. Amy is a sweet thoughtful kind considerate loving person. Shame on the bullies. I hope she will be ok. She’s has a lot of Lionhearts who love her and care about her. Just wait until God gets a hold of the bullies. God bless you and Jah and Amy❤️

[@keepcalmcarryon8178]

I recommend the Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan movie about Herve and the journalist who last interviewed him. Artistic license was used including Herve’s tragic suicide, but it is extremely well acted. FYI: At the end of your video you show a house with stuffed animals in the front yard (a nice reprieve after the mention of the end of Herve’s life). This could be the COVID-19 ‘activity’ where people place stuffed animals for children ‘to find/look for’ on walks with parents/siblings. In NY State, folks place them in windows (we don’t have all the sunny days that California has!😉). It’s fun to actually ‘find’ them throughout our neighborhoods and everyone gets a little smile when discovering them on their walks and bike rides.
