  • Gene Wilder is a LEGEND!

  • Six people gave their everlasting gobstoppers to Slugworth.

  • Let me tell you people something.There is a lot of people in this world being that in the entertainment buisness that can learn a lot from this man, on how to conduct themselves in public. i find a lot of entertainers have their heads in their backsides, this man aint one of those.This guy is a real pro entertainer. I love this guy.

  • They don't make them like Gene no more..

  • I miss old Parkinson.

  • He's still a funny guy and has that spark to him that I saw when I first watched Willy Wonka as a kid.

  • His voice is so comforting...I can listen to him talk all day :)

  • He is sooooooo smart. Holy crap.

  • RIP

  • @xmykro WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HE DIED?

    He's very much alive by the way.

  • i'm so happy he's healthy, is he retired? i would love to see him to a See no evil, hear no evil sequel and the story could be that wally (richard prior) died but he had a son that was just as stubborn and wack as he was (chris rock) who also became blind

  • I could listen to him tell stories all day.

  • its sad that the frankenstein who played everybody loves raymonds father died :(... im glad gene is still alive :)... but im still sad over graham champman :(

  • as far as chemo and radiation go, it "can" work for some. But the fact of the matter is it kills most people, but destroying their immune system, the very thing they need to help fight and destroy the cancer. It's a hard decision to make, and I wouldn't fault a person trying to go the poison route. But i'd much rather choose the natural route, as i've seen many using hemp oil, apricot seeds, and an alkaline diet go into "complete remission".

  • @Reinpret Yeah hemp oil and apricot seeds are all you need. You are a dangerous fool spouting this bullshit.

  • @Chris396 - I hear your concern, however I'd suggest you do some actual research. My father and a friend are alive today because they did the research, and went about a different method of treating this horrible disease. There is no magic bullet cure, however I do believe that many things including the couple I mentioned have been shown scientifically in independent studies and research trials to be 100% effective in either the remission of tumor growth, or the ability to stop its growth.

  • @Chris396 - however, I'm glad that this poison worked for him and all it has done good for. But you sadly like many still are uneducated in this area. I'm not an expert but I am informed and have seen and heard with my eyes and ears. The way we treat cancer is changing, more and more people are having success stories using alternative methods which is teaching us more how to combat it. but the fact of the matter is, if your only method of treatment is barbaric chemo, then I am saddened for you.

  • @Reinpret Tell that to Steve Jobs, who waited 9 months trying alternatives for his cancer. Had he trusted medical science, he may still be living and loving life.

    RIP, Steve. You made a difference. Hopefully your story will convince others with a similar choice that you should trust the real experts and not chase after alternatives you read about on the Internet.

  • @dougmoose1 - sadly you did not do your homework. Trust me, the treatment that steve jobs did maybe considered "alternative" by the medical community, it was far from it, It was chemo, just in a varied form using drugs that isolate cancer cells. Its still poison, and so are your words. My father is alive today because of alternatives having seen his cancer disappear, but what the fuck would you know about that? nothing. Educate yourself and open your mind and heart.

  • @Reinpret Your tone and language tell me you're too emotional to have an open mind. Every body is different. There isn't one treatment for everything, including cancer. Some respond to chemo, some respond to alternatives, and many never improve. Some go into remission without any treatment. Others give prayer the credit. That being said, we have no way to connect to outcome to each remedy. Don't pretend your opinion is better than all others--that's arrogance.

  • @Reinpret Also, whenever someone I've never met before says "Trust me," that's a good sign not to....

  • @Reinpret From Steve Jobs' Biography: "I've asked him" why he didn't get the operation, Isaacson told Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes." "And he said, 'I didn't want my body to be opened. ... I didn't want to be violated in that way.' I think that he kind of felt that if you ignore something, if you don't want something to exist, you can have magical thinking. It'd worked for him in the past. He regretted it."

  • @dougmoose1 - it was chemo.. and what is your conclusion? about it all.. you seem to also have a strong opinion. Hypothetical scenario : a loved one is terminally ill according to the medical community. What have you learned? what would you do with your apparent open mind? do you have so much faith in the economic system some call a medical system? that you would put a loved one, fear a child perhaps through the barbaric methods they call treatment today? you may be beyond help if you chose to.

  • @Reinpret If you choose to distrust medical professionals, that's entirely your right. You should be just as considerate of others. If I find myself in this situation, then it is my decision about how to treat it. If you don't agree with the choices others make, then you should at least respect their decisions and not fly off the handle as if the very idea of trusting the medical establishment is fool-hardy! Steve Jobs regretted not having surgery earlier. Science is science. Have faith!

  • R.I.P. Gene Wilder

  • @Michaelcyr5 Gene Wilder is very much alive

  • @Michaelcyr5 he isn't dead

  • @Michaelcyr5 .....Gene Wilder is still alive....

  • Not a bad group to sit and chat with - Patrick Stewart, Joe Cocker, and Gene Wilder!

  • I love his voice! :)

  • wow it's nice to see him doing well. I hope that he lives many more years.

    I truly enjoy watching his movies. Good times.

  • @cagebabii he is very much alive

  • he died 2007

  • @cgibbo12 hes alive, aged 78 !!

  • @cgibbo12 No, he is still alive. He is no longer acting but is still writing. He put out a book called "What Is This Thing Called Love" in (2010).

  • @cagebabii You are very much wrong

  • @gulgul2006 Well he said he was working on "See no Evil,Hear No Evil" wich came out in late 80's (I think) and he's been married for 15 yrs. So I'm thinkin this had to be around 2003-2005??

  • @gulgul2006 - Gene talks about Peter Boyle dying recently so you're looking at this airing sometime before December 2006

  • He's been out of the scene since 99 (03 on tv) I thought he had passed!! Absolutely a wonderful person!!!

  • The greatest american PERSON of american cinema of all time.

    Salute from Poland, Gene.

    God Bless You

  • @satelitek well said he is simply "The Man" and i'm glad hes still with us.

  • the world could use a lot more Gene Wilders...

  • I love him. What an Awesome Awesome man.

  • I miss him so much, i watched his movie's when i was young and i wish he'd make a comeback

  • gawd i love that guy

  • Gene Wilder's Wife is "DEAD" Yikes

  • i thought i was watching charlie and the chocolate factory for a minute there

  • @Frank289100 I give you another crackpot conspiracy theorist, Ladies and gentlemen!

    Wilder is still alive 12 years on, so something must be working...you quackcandle.

    Some people respond, others don't. Now get back to your bedsit and carry on reading your 'Did man really land on the moon?' books. Plum.

  • @danhero2 Why don't you go for a check up and if you are eating the conventional foods most likely they will find some kind of growth which is not even cancer and since they are animals who chase the dollar you will wind up on the receiving end and I don't mean bending over as they lie to you it was cancer and slowly pour car battery acid into your veins as the cash register in their head goes cha ching and then drop me an e-mail that's if you survive and most never do.

  • @Frank289100 I feel sorry that something in your life has made you this way but thanks for the expectedly unhinged reply, although at least you didn't retaliate after I rather childishly called you a plum and a quack-candle.

  • @danhero2 60+ years have gone by and still no cures. I am a strong strong believer in GOD. I am not a big church goer nor an extremely religious man but I respect GOD/Christ. Your faith in life is everything. God did not create this kind of world it is corrupted from A to Z which is mainly due to man's greed and the absence of GOD being Atheistic beliefs this in itself has fucked up the whole world. Even if GOD was a fairy tale it kept people in check so they dare not step over that line.

  • What an amazing man!

  • Most people who take the drain cleaner and blow torch are pushing up the daisies. Once you take the chemo the quality of your life is gone so why bother taking it. Don.t use Mr.Wilder as a example that he survived. Once you take the chemo its only a matter of time before it returns. Chemo creates 175 new cancer mutations and in each cancer there is roughly 165 colonies. His doctor will out live him because they don't take chemo neither do they let their families. Its a scam.

  • Gene Wilder is an actor and a gentleman and Peter Boyle was too

  • Gene Wilder is TRULY timeless... such a sweet and gentle man, and a terrific actor and human being. love this man.

  • Aww bless him.....he has really been thru it as his mum died of cancer too.

    I'm so glad I do race for life every year.....it helps fund research for better cancer treatments every year. I love his movies xx

  • he sounds the same as in his earliest movies. he doesn't have that "old man" kind of tone.

  • 'Little Bastard Shot me in the ass"

    >Blazing Saddles

  • every time i see his eyes all i see is this gentle sweet hearted guy who is so nice that he will take time to talk to every one thats all i see in those pure and gentle eyes

  • I BEAN DIAGNOSED BY THE SAME CANCER :(

  • He will always be the pure hearted Willy Wonka =) I love that man.

  • gene is going to live forever -- so funny and brilliant

  • I THINK "WILDERSTUDIO" Wilder guy should play Gene Wilder in this new movie. There is an "uncanny" similarity in their voices look and MANERISMS-/--.,?! Somebody tell me if it's true - false - or just a coincidence.,! .,?

  • my favourite pg comedy alongside his pal wilder- swearing is piss funny etc- but these two didn't need to swear to make a film as funny as this.

  • what's the book called? all i heard was mumbling

  • love this guy!!! hope he lives forever!!!!

  • He is just one of those guys that everyone loves. Also a great actor of course.

  • Amazing how his voice is the same as it was 30-40 years ago.

  • @generalcircle I was thinking the exact same thing.

  • Comment removed

  • as a child i fell in love with his beautiful spirit, i had hoped too one day meet him, if only to thank gene for the gift of comedy.

  • A true genius, great comedy actor a one off.

  • Poor Gene..gotta filter that water...That CHLORDANE is on his properties.

  • my mother had lymphoma and survived as well, came back 3 times after chemo, finally they agreed to do a new (at the time) risky operation, bone marrow transplant saved her life.

    AWARENESS FOR LYMPHOMA AND OTHER CANCERS PLEASE! NOT JUST BC

  • He seems truly happy. What an amazing man! I'm sure his positive attitude went a long way in helping him defeat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

  • What a gentle soul.

  • I have also have NHL and am so glad to hear his story!

  • My dad took me to this in a walk-in theater. He freaked out so much, we just were in fits of giggles.

  • He needs to be on the Actor's Studio, or someone needs to make a movie about his life :))) Pure awesomeness <3

  • He still sounds young for an old man. I know, completely random.

  • @LoomiT92 No, I'm glad you wrote that. You can really tell he still hasn't lost his inner child. For him, the world hasn't managed to loose much of it's luster, and the things and people around him still seem to amaze him. Very reassuring, actually :).

  • Oh My God! This gives me so much hope! My boyfriend who is also my bestfriend has Hodgkins Lymphoma, he just had the stem cell transplant. Just to know that the stem cell transplant worked as well as it did gives me so much hope, I cant explain it!

  • A true actor, a true man.

  • i really like his voice and his eyes... is very sincere...
