Peter O'Toole has always been a huge inspiration for me as an actor/film maker. Oddly, I have the name Ryan O'Toole and have always been hoping there was some relation.
I remember meeting him on the set of Lord Jim just after his success in Lawrence of Arabia, I was one of many extras in the movie and he would always stop and smile and say hello, then many years later I was in a pub in Chelsea with my girlfriend and he came and sat at our table, introduced himself (as if we didn't know who he was) and chatted with us as if we were old friends, I couldn't believe it. What a wonderful, wonderful man, a truly class act.
@weirdcitykid ,i think after summing up his life,itsa wrye little giggle at the thought of what he has got up to.this is a tremendous advert,and to finish with,i`ve done a bit of acting as well,is genuis.

Peter O'Toole is brilliant. I love his movies, the way he lived his life - he lived it his way - no bars. Read the book "Hellraisers" and read about his wild times with his friends.
@wharfmouse I have that book and LOVE it. Almost makes your heart break at the thought of such consumate actors like Burton and Harris gone now. Only O'Toole left and God knows how much longer we'll have him. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Class Acts all.
God YES! And was Venus a masterpiece? Yes. I think as legends of film rank I can only include Paul Newman as an equal. Also check out this interview. A class act for life, he is. youtube.com/watch?v=LCJ7mLxPR8E&feature=fvw
It is absolutely idiotic that Sir Peter O'Toole has never received an Oscar for best actor or supporting actor, it is outrages and bloody incompressible.
Sir Peter O'Toole is one of the few best actor that ever was.
im a fat ugly cow no one will fuck my fat pussy and ass or suck my fat tits because theyre embarrassed to be with me in public im going to hurt myself again
you hate me and im crying you made me do it all i want is your cock in me again and again but no one will do me because they dont want to deal with me after they cum they hate my face they just want to fuck it and i could never meet mom they wont take me to church or work for a party they just want to slam me into the wall when theyre invading me but only a secret
so youre the kind who is mean and bad a monster you want to slam my fat doll face into the wall a million times and make me bloody and crying take my ass again if you can get inside the hole theres a lot to get around but you can hold one of the cheeks to the side and get in then youre so full of lust hate you want to degrade me make me a little pig fucking slut thats what i am im worthless fuck me daddy love me i cant hurt anymore wheres mommy dont tell again
In my life I've been the hero. And once or twice I've been the villain. Sometimes I've enjoyed being the fool. I've happily given my heart & taken my fair share of wickets.
I've challenged priests and politicians;
drank with rogues and revolutionaries.
I've been in some truly great battles: in my mind and on the playing field. In my life I have been many men. And every now and then I've done a bit of acting.
Is this from a poem or speech? Because it sounds almost similar to one (but shorter) given when Alex Ferguson got an award, I think it was his lifetime of achievement or PFA merit award 07. Sean Connery was the one speaking then but its a beautiful speech. Please help?
I love that if a younger, less experienced actor does an advert, it looks like they're selling out, but with a man like Mr. O'Toole you know its because he's spent his life working hard and he'll do whatever he damn well pleases.
Many thanks - a truly classic piece of video - the quality of his delivery is a masterclass in acting - thanks Peter...must go get a copy of the Times now !
This is a work of art! The words(which seem very close to his heart, certainly Do explain his life). The simple piano music, the whole composition, truely a wonderful advert.
Does anyone remember an ad where Peter O'Toole was dressed as a wizard and it finished with a small boy playing rugby. Is this ad on youtube, does anyone know ?
this is a great ad. I have seen a fantastic photo of Peter sharing a joke over a drink with Richard Harris - two old and grey men who both have a glint in their eye! They are suited and look like they are at a table in a fine hotel or resturant. I've scoured the web - does anyone know where I might find it??
They were at the Dorchester and the photo was taken by Snowdon. Just Google image "richard harris and peter o'toole" and it will be the first photo that shows up.
amazing voice.

-Fine, i can live with that.
..No. This will not suffice. I demand more of you. Lawrence, drunken binges, Masada and so forth on will not suffice. -Explain yourself!
