Warren Beatty Tells the Story of Hitting on Ellen

The Hollywood icon and notorious ladies' man told a vintage tale about a memorable interaction with Ellen.

[@saloni3962]

"i knew you were happy, i didnt know you were gay"

[@bwayland1290]

Saloni K Now that's funny.

[@TeresaCatherine-wi9co]

Warren Beatty is just great to listen to. He comes off as very intelligent, warm, and funny. What an acconplished man he is. He and Annette Bening are wonderful. God bless both of them.

[@katepollock5408]

Warren is such a funny and warm man. Great chemistry and comic timing between them. I laughed and it warmed my heart :)

[@DippyHippie]

Yep! One of my favorite liberals!😂 Especially now-a-days!🌈🦋💙❤️💋

[@joseambrosio1895]

People saying that this video is cringe or awkward, but I think it's really adorable. He's like a little kid confessing how he felt about Ellen all those years ago. And he's really funny. Haha.

[@alfrancis8]

you can see they really had genuine respect and adored each other so the trust was there,... it was a cute

[@quicksite]

He was ACTING- You could tell this was set-up. Why else would Ellen have the photo on screen. Very unusal for Beatty- really terrible. I've never seen him this way- he notoriously hates interviews, but somehow felt the desire to try to charm the audience. Surely he'd want people to see his movie- but this was so over the top.

[@superlex611]

+quicksite but still he does want to make a low profile, and stay out of the spotlight

[@11Garrett11]

I thought it was cute too

[@adliuza45567]

Warren is a psychopath. Look it up. This is a game. He is manipulating the audience and us viewers into liking him.

[@juliawillc]

What a sweetheart, and he is extremely bright and talented. I'm so glad he found his soulmate.

[@substitute91]

He's a sweetheart and he's a gentleman. That is why its awkward , we rarely see this, these days. :)

[@bwayland1290]

substitute91 You are so right. I met Warren many years ago . Annette is his perfect match. I applaud their marriage of 25 years.

[@danielyourestillachad5542]

he's a fucking psychopath is what he is idk how u all can't see through his cute old man charm bs

[@manofiske3318]

" a gentleman"?! It what sick, perverted universe would a monster the likes of Beatty be considered anything but the most lecherous of cretins?

[@shallynovita559]

how he described his feeling about his wife after many2 years of marriage...loving it

[@bwayland1290]

shally novita 25 years of wedded bliss. Hollywood's Golden Couple.

[@ero5314]

I adore him! Warren Beaty is one of the few actors in Hollywood who is doing his own thing and doesn't care about all this fake bullshit..

[@audreygosser7541]

Ero Fremont k

[@johnsimmons171]

Are you kidding. He's as full of himself as they come

[@624radicalham]

@@johnsimmons171 Yup and MIckey Rourke said he's the creepiest human being you'll ever meet

[@Charlenedoesstuff]

Warren Beatty was handsome when he was younger....and still is!! I love how he talks about Annette!

[@importantverbs]

I don't care what you say, Warren Beatty is still dreamy.

[@NiVi192]

"I wasn't afraid of marriage I was afraid of divorce." What an important message and what a great man! He's an absolute superstar, but so not Hollywood!😊

[@zenlifetv4837]

awww....warrren turned out to be a cute old man

[@geewiz8253]

IamFiery sweet comment!

[@bap0629]

Great interview, nice seeing Warren

[@nikeeweston]

Omg Warren is soooooooo polite.

[@nikeeweston]

Old fashioned Hollywood star

[@flake4710]

superior half.. what a beautiful thing to say about your spouse

[@killitill3588]

Flake just what I thought

[@maazparvez]

Warren Beatty is the definition of Class!!

[@Archer335]

Great interview. I love how “old school” and centered Mr. Beatty is.

[@michellelopez3639]

I never knew Warren off camera. I like his personality. Very nice interview. 😊

[@cooldude5699]

He was one of the greatest womanizers of all time.

[@PanickedTato]

What people don't really realize is Warren Beatty was always this sort of shy person in real life, even when he was indeed that sort of "playboy" of Hollywood. You can look to any time the camera was on him in Madonna's "Truth or Dare" for a perfect example of that. He knows he definitely got around back in those days but, despite that, it was usually the women he was with who would "kiss and tell," and not him. It's adorable really.

[@maxmetodiev641]

warren Beatty looks very good for 79

[@faboze]

LMAO That was a great interview

[@rishibhatt9773]

Beatty has been out of the public eye for a while. Good to see that he looks well!

[@clairebrodiefitness7913]

He is a very sweet kind person... I met him when my Dad played Saxophone for Heaven Can Wait 💕

[@ivanab5781]

how come i'm the only one who's not cringing? it was hilarious!

[@moimeself1088]

Ivana B me too!! It was hilar!!!!

[@nutpaweejohndej4665]

Hi, Ellen. I am from Thailand I'm not very good at speaking English But I wanted to tell you that you are my favorite people. I like every your show.ชอบมาก

[@cinematrendings6611]

Why what the reason

[@mikeinvictus2233]

Ellen had the aura of a straight woman...like uncomfortable but seemed really flattered. :)

[@bwayland1290]

Mike Invictus the aura of a straight women ; only straight from the nearest Gay Bar.

[@afatherslove5341]

he did not seem to get her sense of humor... But he seems like a really precious person...

[@nessuno1984]

I thought he just couldn't hear her. He is an old man. We all lose our hearing.

[@afatherslove5341]

:)

[@manofiske3318]

There's a great deal of distance between what seems and what actually is (the case)

[@NiVi192]

Oh they've known each-other for like thirty years, they go way back, so that might just be their unique dynamic!

[@DarkSali]

Am i the only who didn't find this awkward at all? That's just the chemistry between those two...

[@TheJazz61]

Award

[@geewiz8253]

He's so funny! Seems like a great guy. Did not know he was 80! Way to go Beatty!!

[@minnie129]

Love this, fun interview!

[@Safirlady]

Warren is such an old school gentleman, love it;*,

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Except that he was such a womanizer. Hard to fit the two ideas together.

[@Ghost-vg6iq]

He is a psychopath you dumb@$$ humans get fooled by his cute,charm,awkward bs that he knowingly portrayed so women will lower their guards.

[@alexandrasch.8674]

Whoever is reading this: Have a nice day 😙🙈

[@ethiokonjo3899]

Alex Schröder thank you dear! Same goes to you

[@inthemix7640]

you too!!!! thanks. I just watched a Star Wars movie for the first time.

[@HannahMariyaEpstein]

Thank you! :-)

[@0cean.Sun.]

Alexandra * Really, you made my day. I hope you also have a great warm get out & have a good walk sunny day 🌄!!! in your neck-of-the-woods.

[@0cean.Sun.]

Alexandra * And I am well aware you left this message year ago. Yet, here I am a year later & it made me smile.

[@faile819]

This interview is so awkward! It's cracking me up :D

[@mason6963]

Warren Beatty is everything that we hope a human should be. Whatever the public perception the him. he's always been a gentleman. The woman he fell in love with, married and has the most amazing kids with is proof that he met, fell in love with, and raised amazing kids with Annette. They are simply an example of what love should and be lasting enduring journey!

[@behindyou2025]

i don't know why i felt a little bit shy watching this interview lol

[@11Garrett11]

Me too because there was something real happening between these two

[@inthemix7640]

I really love her sweater. Warren is an icon. love this conversation. this is long before the Oscars. Shampoo was my first R rated film..

[@lakshp87]

Being early to videos is no good, the comment section is sometimes half as good or more fun than the video itself.

[@travisodermatt2130]

He is one classy Actor , I still can’t believe he was 54 already when he played Bugsy

[@hayleyava7398]

He is so charming. I like the interview.

[@lizbeth5386]

Good interview!

[@toddkloster6013]

Beatty is a GENIOUS. The subtle nuances of Hoffman and Beatty in "Ishtar" were so increadably funny. I didn't like "Ishtar" at all when I first saw it, and I even walked out of the theatre. Today, I have seen it at least 10 times, and I have to say, there humor was so subtle in their characters, that once you get into the characters, you cannot get enough of that movie, it's hilarious. Only those Two could pull that off.

[@happyumondia]

great interview

[@rekaroob2589]

Ellen, I know, that you will not read this, but I have to say: Actully I from Europe, Hungary. It's a small country central Europs, but my classmates all love you and know you and of course, I'm too. You're one of the nicest and kindest pepole on THIS world! We love you're show!❤❤❤ Réka

[@Ultronicus]

[@cyjeren1627]

I love Anette! In Dreams is my favorite.

[@bobbybobby3232]

Love Warren Beatty. He is so funny.

[@egeo03]

Always loved him.

[@bonesonstones1]

I find these two hilarious and adorable together. What a great guy, so rare that an old Hollywood guy is not creepy!

[@Ghost-vg6iq]

He's a PSYCHOPATH fooling all of the world around.

[@damage6836]

Cmon enough with the calling men creepy...

[@BikinFilmYok]

He's adorable.

[@nililia5337]

it's funny to recall the past and Ellen ..oh Ellen what did you do to him almost speechless

[@gracewilliams1841]

he's so cute and funny

[@alexandrasmith9190]

What show was this.?

[@TanningMiami]

what a classy guy !

He really wants all womens ! even the gay one omg 😂

[@sumayaouali1613]

Yeah i know of course she's beautiful !

[@bwayland1290]

Sumaya Ouali If you beleive that, then Beatty should have won an Emmy.

[@killitill3588]

Sumaya Ouali ahahah you killed me, so true

[@michaelunderwood6658]

Great line by Warren …” I knew you were happy ….”

[@nanoazeez2785]

love this

[@topgurl9313]

I LOVE Ellen's sweater

[@danitestalkr]

Hes still hitting on her, lol

[@pr4442]

Why is she obsessed with getting Warren Beatty to tell everyone how long they have known each other?

[@ArmyJames]

Because of her personality cult and constant self promotion

[@chaycesmom1212]

A lot of his interviews are awkward, but in a good way. I get him!

[@87clami]

He is so cute! Also like those emojis lol

[@clementina1247]

He read the emoji card perfectly❤️

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Lol

[@NiVi192]

"Now you just wanna hurt me!" 😂

[@HastDesigns]

lol, that sounds like a casual chat yet Ellen seem uncomfortable at the end.

[@bwayland1290]

Ace Beyond uncomfortable.

[@iamamazing1885]

Well this was awkward

[@howwraaa7146]

iamamazing I KNOW RIGHT

[@andyjay729]

You thought THAT was awkward? I know a certain guy named Oscar who has an even better story.

[@sweiland75]

No it is not at all. You will learn that when you grow up.

[@geewiz8253]

sweiland75 Exactly. They had "awkward" chemistry, in a good way.

[@geewiz8253]

And sometimes Ellen can act a little non-purposefully funny

[@katylangston8116]

I’ve always liked him but my opinion of him rocketed when he married Annett Bening!

[@miles1332]

lmaooo Ellen's greatest achievement is being part of the mile high club...

[@ncorp2668]

They were dancing strangely around those questions. Did they just say Warren was trying to get Gary Shandling to hook him up with Ellen? And then Ellen went on to say he was already with Annette at the time. And Ellen acted kind of weird about saying she made out with Gary...was that off screen?

[@AlanHope2013]

They kissed on the show. It was hardly what the kids these days would call making out. Ellen wasn't out yet, and trying to get by as an actor and comedian. She would never have got her own sitcom if there were even a hint of her being gay, so it's no surprise other people were oblivious. That's the way she wanted it, it's not because they weren't woke. When she came out her career came crashing down in flames for a few years so she was wise to stay in, and very lucky indeed to be able to recover.

[@debrafrakes6479]

Annette seems like the ball buster.

[@mjade1673]

'I'll come back later today'😆😜

[@qualqui]

What a guy! Yeah I'm of the same mind as Warren, its the Lady's choice if they go with us or they part ways, yeah us guys we have to make the first move, but its definitely the Lady's choice if they pick us or move on to find another that meets up to their criteria.
