[etesta63]

[vini7361]

the man has no love one-third near the animal but they really love

[epulsoda]

Where is the lion now? Still live? sorry i dont know. huuhuhu

[Jebrusis]

@epulsoda lions dont tend to live that long in the wild and this was 40 years ago so he is definitely dead

[bluepeas510]

@Jebrusis ...Oh noooo Christian was to special to be dead! Pay attention to the signs..when he was alive and 30 yrs later. He has been returned to where he was sent here from, lion heavebn lol. and did you hear what was said in this interview ..He turned out to be the biggest lion around back then! Thats b/c he was nurtured in love and his mind was always stimulated by play activities ..thats why he mas mentally and physically healthy!

[DelilahLovve]

[DelilahLovve]

[XxAtomic646xX]

wow... not only did they raise such a sweet lion, but the LARGEST in the area wow just wow

[OlgaMariaMaria]

beautiful Christian ! Hope you have a large family !

[hopefranks7]

this is so sweet :')

[JayFlamerof1999]

To all those who thumbs downed this video its hard for me not to watch this and not break out into tears every time i see it and God Bless Chrishtan and George Adamson who unfortunatly are no longer with us for between them both they did something that was hard and rewarding for them both. Please remember that no wild breed of animal is a pet and to treat them with the upmost respect and care.

Again God bless each and ever one of the men and the lion for they taught us something.

[briscojoseph]

@ 4:17 Oo

[6033shasta]

Gay or not.. who cares?! They did a wonderful thing and I applaud them for it.

[DonChilenito]

christian was protected by george Adamson that helped elsa alot aswell.

[Nebulisation]

I love this story, but I hate the version where they put Whitney Houston's song. I hate this singer, and mostly, hate the song. But the story is awesome.

[koop5365]

"Conker-brained twats" !! Brilliant :D

[sudarsan8]

every soft heart will get tears on their eyes after seeing this touch story... sure...

[AnonHateMachine]

@hyperdarkshadow779 have i ever purchased a pet (lion) with my bros? no. that's something couples do. this is a gay couple getting a pet.

[dellgriff82]

cgi,now there about money,bastards

[Wolfie238]

I wonder if they kept Christians collar, or what happen to his crate. I often think about those little details with stories like this.

[Drifter0001]

Nice... Now lets see the same story with a hyena.

[TFPhenominal]

@Drifter0001 lol, good luck. "oh yeah my best friends are back, mmm, they look yummy" dead...

[petuniamighty]

@chriskafaldjian101 they belong in the wild and away from the humans who are disturbed creatures

[AntBanks2626]

he grew up to be the KING just as was meant to be...He was a good looking cub too...

[UKFOREIGNERSUNITED]

sorry 2 not 20 as of 06/07/011.

[UKFOREIGNERSUNITED]

20 gazelles and zebras watched this video.

[LOKOGONO]

r they a gay couple or wut?

[TherealSandyCovi]

well duh it said they lived together with christian :)

[MsVeganzombie]

People who hit the dislike button have never been hugged.

[Bluezaphire2402]

Well of course they're gay. I don't think that makes any difference. The whole story is about what love truly is.

[nancissy]

i agree with stuart38, y'all are jus messed up! the video talks about the lion not the relationship of it's owners...Y'all are jus sick!

[stuart38]

@nancissy cheers,m8.tho i meant what i said.lions in the wild last around 5 years.christian HAD that time with these guys ,and was THEN released to enjoy the rest of his life,free and happy.what MORE could these men have done?

[johnplayersstandard]

I'm pretty shure they where just friends not that it matter! if they where gay i'd think they would come out with it in a more modern day where that thing's a little more accepted!

[stuart38]

these men raised and set free a lion that could so easily have been bought by someone who could have caused his death,they took christian to africa,set him free,went to see him in the following years,and the concern here is that these men are GAY?fuck off,you small-minded,conker-brained twats....

[forzaazzurri101]

@stuart38 well i mean wat if they r gay

[leonardae]

so what if they're gay, they are much better people than you straight??? but then who are really straight????

[moclov]

Are they gay?

[Supernorbi]

great movie shot! TY

[sillybandzlover121]

F**k that one person that dislikes this video! Thumbs up if you agree!

[boosky0607]

2/3 less!? That's sickening! There is no reason for that. :( Lions are such amazing gorgeous graceful animals.

[EgyptClan]

They are not gay!!! And even if they were, they still have the BALLS to raise a lion.

[Clyaton]

@EgyptClan Would it be so bad if they WERE gay?? homophobe! just messin'

[sarabower1]

God bless these loving individuals and their beautiful "pet"

[Yourself1015]

who is the asshole that disliked this video

[DudettRin101]

I feel sad for the lion to know that they never went back and saw him again.

[Sablebombe]

He actually lived very close to where I am now! The Moravian chapel grounds is on the opposite side of my road (Milmans Street) where they exercised Christian - I didn't live here then but my older neighbours remember him well from the shop and from the Moravian church! Aparently, he used to go to a local restaurant (now closed) with those two guys! Totally amazing!!!!

[EvilZeno]

I am completely infatuated with this story. I've gotta get me that book, though I think the title would be more powerful as "A Lion Called Christian: the True Story of the Remarkable Bond Between Three Friends"

[poodlecupsfive]

"friends"

[stud28gr]

I THOUGHT THEY WERE A GAY COUPLE....

[gothambat26]

I love this story. It shows that animals feel accepted as family members and feel love as well as give it. I hate it when you hear about animal abuse. Every animal has a mentality of a certain age. For example dogs reach a mentality of a 3 year old human. Animals are gentle to us so we need to be gentle back.

[onetwofoursmallsz]

It's sad that they can't visit him anymore ;-(

[christianlucca]

@bb2ification the story was in 1969 the lions i read that live 16-18 years.. also ace and john says they hopes it lives many years and died of natural death...but is unknown

[thornysubject]

ace and john were at the right time and place that day at Harrods ( how come no one reported harrods to animal welfare societies?, imagine selling a lion , of all things!).... if it hadnt been for those two lovely souls, we wouldnt have had this truly heartwarmingly beautiful story of Christian ... such a sweet big baby!

[rappermisha]

They should make a movie :)

[Jer0mmel]

I hate Whitney Houston !!

[claudelaate]

wow! HArrods rlly?

[ankasiara]

that is so beautiful i was crying watching the full episode....animals have a soul too,just like human beings

[jespero93]

@ankasiara

probably more than human beings.

[ryryan50]

wow 000 dislikes.

[Caliento1000]

Olá gostaria de ter noticias sobre Christian ... obrigado.

[mickeybarstow]

"friends"

[Pook365]

@mickeybarstow

Apparently they really were just friends...

[sillysugar87]

lovely video! but I could do without the constant "and I------- will always love you" every few mins when they re-show the reunion.

[Pook365]

@sillysugar87

I guess it's for people to thick to be able to tell that the lion loves them, they need to be told as well :P

[mimituico]

this story is very touching

[TheLongAndWindingRd]

Actually, Sony Pictures IS preparing to make a film about Christian's life. It's really not important, by any stretch of the imagination, whether or not these men are or are not gay...is that really relevant to some people reading this? The bond and love they shared with Christian is what this story is about...

[Pook365]

@TheLongAndWindingRd

Yes it is important.....

They are apparently not gay, however if they were it would have been offensive to refer to them as "friends".

[TheLongAndWindingRd]

@Pook365 - Gay, Straight, whatever, I responded to other people placing importance on their sexuality and in my opinion, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT and has nothing to do with anything. What Ace and John did for Christian and they love they shared with him is what this incredibly beautiful story is about. Period.

[danamcwonderful]

Hearing that Whitney Houston song really makes me want to see Christian the Lion maul someone to death.

[Rocketfingaz1]

this is some great stuff daaayyyuum

[sabinal01]

are those two guys a couple ????

[HattieLovesCattie]

@sabinal01 No,John is divorced and has 3 kids.Ace never married and is a famous photographer.

[aznman2000]

i smell a disney movie

[amoralphat40oz2]

This makes me think of my late cat Hank he was a little yellow lion

[barneymccomas]

And they still can't call Ace Bourke and John Randall partners, or lovers? It's such a moving story. Can't we all just state the obvious - that Christian was adopted and raised by a gay couple?

[SUZYB13]

I cry everytime I see the original video!!!

[keith860]

they should make a movie!

[Tarzana324]

omg! Christian always remember them , awwwww! 

[xFloor1]

ILOVETHELION!!<3



[03crichardson]

Tactless interviewer: "so you don't think he was poached?"

[mustangersalie]

wonder if Christian was alive today- if he would recognize & remember them now because they are older & look much different ? - guess well never know

[mikamai]

@mustangersalie Christian was born in 1969, that would make him forty one years old. In the wild lions average a lifespan of around fifteen or sixteen years. (In captivity they can live up to thirty years old however.) In other words Christian is clearly dead.

However, Christian would likely remember them no matter what age he was-- they were like his parents and studies have shown that pack animals can clearly recognize their family members years after they part.

[ronstero]

but...is Christian dead now?

[xsafiax98x]

@ronstero probs

[FREEDEJATAYLOR]

oh em gee!!

[SUBEGAP]

i like it very touching story.

[adrianjamestansmu]

Great touching story. Remembered this when I was a little boy in England.

[somoslosbebitos]

thanks for recording this!

[Stellastar1972]

does anyone know where i can watch the film online free? I have part 1 of the film but part 2 has been taken off. thanks and thank u for posting this. x

[tupai27]

george adamson was killed by a nexus of poachers ... he was the biggest threat for the poachers... poachers should be killed on sight...

[icebreakerulez]

unbelievable showcase of love and friendship, this already a legend yet a fact..

[vinznaetebe]

great story

[gustavoguga2010]

nice video

[gustavoguga2010]

nice video

[trinashinead]

i think we have to thank the photographer as well...for the wonderful shots!!!! ^_^

[yesjoyce]

@trinashinead

yes! u are right!

[KyokoAmbrose]

I like this interview very much,it is touching.Sad to know that George Adamson was murdered by "Human". I now believe that lions are individuals,they possess different quality as human do. it is very good to know more about lion and it explains a lot.Thank you for sharing!

[timalalala]

was george killed by a lion??

[xsn1]

he was killed by Somalian bandits while he was aiding someone...sad.. i wish the jungle beasts mauled the murderers to their death. poor George.

[KyokoAmbrose]

No,he was killed by people (can't remember who they are)but you can google George's full name and there are related links and story about him!

[brettishfan]

The lion whisper's full name is George Adamson, the only lion-man ever lived, was murdered by humans, this makes to feel there's more humanity in beasts than in humans.

[dichambers]

@brettishfan Well said. It's sad to think it but true sometimes.

[mosba123]

@brettishfan Awww! he didn't get killed by lions but he got killby humans omg that's very sad.

[FlumsClums]

@KyokoAmbrose Who is George Adamson? o.o

[theredmars]

@FlumsClums ffs, watch the video.

[FlumsClums]

@theredmars I did lol

[acutebluesmurf]

@KyokoAmbrose All animals are individuals none of them posses the same quality

[powermacuser12]

I never tire of seeing more interviews and footage about Ace, John and Christian. What a wonderful story. Something so pure that it will stay with you for the rest of your life.

[stevelewis3]

Hi powermacuser12. I met John and Ace 3 day ago at a book release. The most wonderful people you would like to meet. Christian had no chance with these guys. he was destined to be the Lion of Lions. Ace and John were his guardian's and he couldn't have found better people to lead him back to his rightful home. R.I.P George Adamson.

[powermacuser12]

stevelewis3:

In what city was the book release, if you don't mind my asking?

[iamyie]

what had happened to christian? the lion should be 40plus year old today..

[Demarini71691]

he died..they live about 12-15 years in the wild. incredible story. stuff like this usually makes me think and get sad about how they had to let go of christian, but i feel like their story is complete...that they went back and saw him, and he was doing great for himself.

[blowmebaby1990]

it probably got poached

[shanna1950]

@iamyie utterly IMPOSSIBLE.

[stevelewis3]

powermacuser12 . In Sydney. Bondi beach. Ravesi's hotel.

[stevelewis3]

Thank you Meridith for doing you research this time.... Two very wonderful people. Add George Adamson to the picture & Christian could not have been a luckier Lion..

[MimMarquez]

this is such a moving video. Thanks for posting.
