Спасибо , спасибо всем создателям фильма.. Мы очень сочувствуем близким Энди, жене, детям, очень переживаем ,что Энди ушел ...😢

[@6ixConfessions]

I can't get over how much Jesse looks like his father. And always grateful for the inspiration Andy left behind.

[@jab6223]

I watched 'Be Here Now' last night... Andy and Vashti were so brave throughout that journey... we miss u Andy!

[@Kiroley]

We're still here, now ♥️ Thank you Vashti

[@indiamitchell1598]

He was Spartacus, no offense to Liam, but Andy was the man.

[@bigboss8847]

both were, in they own way

[@pablo9364]

India Mitchell he had so much in common with the character Spartacus he played . Incredible and a true legend.

[@enjuui]

yes

[@anonymousgamer3509]

Same. I can't watch the others. Andy was Spartacus. Definitely the best one

[@sofiovoxo]

Hi Vashti, I pray one day you read this. I realize it’s been 8 years since your beloved husband and children’s father passed away, but my tears still fall down my cheeks when I watch Spartacus or his interviews on KZbin. I have watched many movies and shows and I have never seen a character, a man be so real. I felt his pain and anguish, and also his happiness and laughter. He was a sweet hearted, wise man and He made Spartacus the best show of all time. I pray you and your children are doing wonderful and know that their father’s legacy is forever immortalized in playing such a real historical character with great cause.

[@kelvinmacharia3715]

Hey safiyya.I share you sentiments. It's the most saddest story i have encountered.Hope Vashti and her kids found peace.

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

still think of Andy

[@jenslim77]

I watched Spartacus just recently only to find out that he already left in this world 8 years ago.. it was so sad to think. He was a fine actor and a great family man. God bless him and the family he left behind. He was the best Spartacus ever!

[@spartacus3608]

Not sure you guys are stilll active on this channel... watched Spartacus years after it's final season... came to it on praise from a friend... watched the 1st season with Andy... found out about his condition with the change of actors.... and wasn't sure I could finish the show out! Saw how the rest of the cast loved and honored him... then watched his journey through treatment with you and your family.... definitely a humbling experience! Pray you and the kids are doing well!!! Stay safe and blessed! Best wishes!

[@Otik0718]

Courageous Vashti. Thanks for the uplifting words. 9yrs since Andy died but he still lives in my memory. What a big loss to u and to the film industey. RIP

[@ritaheilig3575]

Just watched the documentary Be Here Now on Netflix a few days ago. Very moving and I thought he would pull through as I did not know who he was but he was so determined to live. Recently noticed on FACEBOOK that Vashti is working in a place called School of Life in Sydney giving classes on dealing with death.Very rare to find a video of her that is not six or so years old!!! Made me appreciate that I am alive, a gift we all take for granted. Made me more positive about life, rather than complaining about little stuff that is not important. The documentary is well worth your time. You can learn a lot from it.

[@janetharned6799]

What an incredible story of Andy's tough battle against this cruel disease! Brought tears to my eyes and heart! What an incredible man he was and a loving, amazing family. I'm certainly going to pass on your enduring, courageous story. He was truly Spartacus!!

[@82auer]

Spartacus 111bc - 71bc Andy 1971 - 2011 Andy really was our modern day Spartacus, what a legend. RIP

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Indeed!

[@ShellyL3]

The documentary is the most touching thing I have EVER seen. Amazing man with an amazing woman and family. Helping me to deal with health issues in a more positive light. Thank you for sharing this personal journey.

[@Kupacolypse]

Was a big fan of your husband in Spartacus, and just watched the documentary on Netflix. Damn that really tore at the heart. But watching the man in real life was strangely inspiring. Thanks for sharing your story and all the best to you and your family.

[@elisae.h.7725]

every time i watch the be here documentary i can feel Andy. Deeply. And he lingers, his spirit lives within the billion molecules that life is... he is everywhere, every time, always...

[@oscarpicon7164]

Love you guys, Vashti! Such powerful resolve to not quit!

[@betulyn]

They say every generation is defined by a great struggle. In his first coming, Spartacus fight against slavery and the last, against cancer. He WAS, he IS, he always WILL BE Spartacus and INSPIRE millions to fight against the great struggle.

[@cenkaytekin]

Saw the documentary last night on Netflix and it was the most moving documentary I have ever watched. Thank you for creating such an uplifting story, it made me rethink certain things in life. I wanted to hear more of what you have to share, so I just bought your Audio book today. Really looking forward to listening to it. I wish you all the best for you and your family.

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

YOU are so wonderful and your family....We still and will forever miss Andy sending you a virtual hug from Canada

[@patriciamartinez5836]

Andy is and always will be Spartacus!! I miss him so much. I have watched Vasari and Andy’s videos going through such an ordeal. When I heard of his passing on the news , I sat and cried. RIP Andy. Vashti I always look to see your new videos. Your son looks so much like Andy. I hope you find love again and it fulfills you. You are a beautiful intelligent woman and I wish you and your family the best

[@judymoore1969]

I just saw Be Here Now and God it took me back. Ive lost 2 husbands, yep 2! I remember being this young widow (30) and feeling like Oh my God my life is over. And well after the second i just stopped getting married. I was only 40 after my sec husband died after an inaccurate diagnosis of non Hodkins lymphoma. I know how devestating it is and i remember i would wake in the morning and it would be like a punch in the stomach! I also lost my daughter at birth but if i could have known strong women like yourself and taken the grief counseling maybe i wouldn't have sunk to those depths. Im fast approaching 50 and its amazing how raw it still can be somedays. I was lucky to be loved hard by 2 wonderful men and i see it as a blessing but it makes moving harder. And ppl that havent experienced real love and the loss of that love just dont want to deal with you. The Documentary was amazing and thank you for such a close look at your family and your struggle. God bless you and your family!

[@mattgiovanni9681]

Well said Sharon, I know many many people who passed away from cancer and not even a single soul knows about them. To me they all are Spartacus and fought bravely to the end and they are all free men. Cheers to all free men.

[@Islandgurlnmainland]

Aloha Vashti! Please do not pay attention to demanding people. Continue To Be The Inspirational Person that "YOU" are!!!! (We need more people like you in the world).

[@renzorivera4347]

Siempre será el GRAN CAMPEÓN tanto en la serie, como en su vida real por su lucha contra el cáncer. Andy Whitfield estará en nuestras mentes y corazones. No hay palabras que puedan servir de aliento para tan difícil momento, pero para su esposa e hijos les envío un fraternal saludo desde Panamá 🇵🇦 y que Papa Dios junto con Andy les guíen sus caminos.

[@kimmieskuisinehomesteading1575]

Vashti, I hope to see more vlog and blog entries. You are such an inspiration! I'm a single mom from different circumstances close to your age, and I'd love to learn more about how you manage.

[@anamramana]

He was an awesome actor and shall be remembered may his soul reach the lotus feet of the lord

[@Zero8880]

Wow, your son looks so much like his father. Andy will always be remembered....

[@Jin92ful]

Good evening Madam, I saw the documentary dedicated to her husband Andy in the last words of her husband I was moved was a man with an extraordinary willpower Her husband is close to you with the spirit, I'm sure, will protect you and love you from heaven he is Gabriel! no Spartacus I wish you a good day to all of you! Best regards Bruno

[@panaderiabenja8808]

La mejor seríe sin duda!! Me encantó!!

[@kgboy4325]

He was the most beautiful man. Vashti, you are so inspiring and strong. I need a life coach like you to help me through this crazy life. You mentioned a book... what book?

[@tammibartice2088]

This was a beautiful story💜They truly were soul-mates💜WoW! Jesse looks like his father💜I have never really thought it a saying but when things unfortunate happen, or there were circumstances in which were out of my grasp at the moment, I would always just say," Life happened". For example, "well Tam, how did your labs go?" "They were positive."💜 "I thought for sure they were going To be Great, you thought that as well, correct?"💜Yeah well, 💜"Life Happened."💜The reason why I say at the moment is because we are blessed with choices and as I learn a little more, I realize okay how can I make this work, how can I further overcome, How can I learn in this case to truly just Be Here Now💜My future has never been mapped out for me, and I am grateful because though I never know whats going to become of myself or My Husband and I, we handle it as gracefully and positive and most important, as something that can help us grow stronger not weaker💜 Your family is incredible how you have gracefully handled the situation with Andy; your family has grown closer and have adapted to the different ways in which things have changed💜I admit, I get angry, sad I want to catharticly scream sometimes💜How do you deal with those feelings? I'd really like to know Vashti.💜I myself, if feeling that way, do cry. It's part of Being here and present with myself Now.Lol💜 I just adore you all as one big beautiful family, you've really touched my heart💜Andy is no longer suffering and is a beautiful Angel💜Again, I hope he still visits you all and comforts you in the form of a lovely butterfly💜😘💜

ОЧЕНЬ ЖАЛКО АКТЁРА

[@Sharon-yt7je]

What about all the amazing people that died from cancer before their time, who were not actors with good looking faces. Who writes their story? and who remembers them?, children included. Actors arnt Gods!

[@judymoore1969]

Sharon im quite sure many dont but hes the only celebrity who documented this horrible battle. Ive watch several documentaries on Netflix right now that were about your average Joe. If you watch the Documentary youll see it touches more on a young man trying to be a husband and father to 2 tiny children and having to give up more that just an acting career!

[@melodylapier]

The Whitfield's choosing to document their journey doesn't take from any one else. In fact I would say it showed that the lives you think these celebrities live aren't always the bed of roses you think they are. His story broke my heart, as I imagine so would the stories of anyone fighting a battle that he or she cannot win no matter how strong in body and mind. No matter how wealthy, or poor, how young or old, we are all susceptible to things more powerful than we are. What we should take from Andy's story is to live life to the fullest. You're not :guaranteed a tomorrow no matter who you are. Let go of the pettiness and fill your heart and soul with kindness and love. The rest of the petty jealousy, anger, hate only hurts you. Do your best to have compassion and empathy for all of your fellow mankind. You don't know their stories.
