My favourite Richard Burton interview moments

[juliano66]

I'll forgive Burton for his ill-spoken Irish slam, probably had as much to do with that wanker, Merv and his pandering interview style as it was Richard's somewhat sloshed condition.

@juliano66 I like the singing part. When you watch the whole interview Marv comments it at the beginning a bit strange. But I hope you enjoyed the video :)

@juliano66 and you are AMERICAN. Not IRISH. You have no history. My armchair is older than your country. You Americans that call yourselves Irish is hilarious. Going by your methods then, us English are actually neanderthal? LOL stupid fucking americans. And you dare comment on Burton?

[Loubrockdorff]

i love that to.. do you know what year it is from? he look so different from every other clip with him

[krofan]

@Loubrockdorff Wich one do you meen? The singing part or the interview with Parkinson?

[krofan]

@Loubrockdorff on parkinson was in the late '70 (don't know the exact year) he just got out of rehab, with Marv Griffin was around the end of his marriage to Elizabeth, that would be around 1974. And on Dick Cavett, he said that he was 53. So it should be 1978 or 1979.

I hope I explained it correctly.

@krofan He was told he had an enlarged liver in 1970, but still drank heavily on a near daily basis until his cirrhosis diagnosis in the early 80s

[Loubrockdorff]

[krofan]

@Loubrockdorff He is great, isn't he. I also like his imitation of Laurens Olivier, it's just great!!

Thanks for your reaction.
