What before you is a frail old man with a powerful voice piercing your body and soul. The world around you falls to a silent halt giving a respectful moment for such a great man.
You have had an illustrious career spanning many generations and appreciated worldwide. I am looking forward to your latest acting roles (Especially "There and Back Again")!
Stay well sir, I hope to one day reach your years with my wits as you have.
I hate seeing actors this old because it reminds me of the fate of all of us, withering away into an old miserable and slow existance.......... oh god...............oh fucking god.............it's fucking depressing
Sir Christopher Lee, I could listen to you for a hundred years and never get tired. Your career is long and prosperous and you shall always be my favourite actor, musical artist.
i would love to meet you one day, it's been one of my goals in life. my parents named me after you, my name is Christopher Lee Ball. they decided to name me after you after watching, of all movies, The Satanic Rites of Dracula! talk about a bad omen! never the less if my parents had not seen that movie, who knows what my name would have been. if there are any Hollywood openings coming up, i will try to see you, even if i don't actually meet you, it would be nice to see the man i was named after.
Delighted to see and hear you connect via social media. Fabulous year for you. I look forward to you doing more astounding things in 2012. Happy New Year!
Truer words about the shape of our world in the year that has passed were never spoken, by a truly amazing actor no less. All the best to you, Sir Christopher.
Isn't it more than a little bit tragic that this great fellow who worked in so many movies from the first half of the nineteenth century until this day, who played in so many great, defining roles yet haven't been nominated for an Oscar even once? What does that say about the academy do you think? All of our condolonces, Lee. Not that you need any awards that tell you how great you are.
I love this guy, as genuine a living legend as you will ever see. I hate the idea that he may not be with us one day, I like the idea that he may live to see 100 instead, if anyone could, it's him.
I love how he speaks, putting so much thought and effort into each sentence and syllable. It's like he searches for the perfect way to put his thoughts into words. It reminds me of how Ents speak.
But Bilbo hasn't aged between the Hobbit and the Lord of The Rings. The Ring stopped his ageing Gandalf even says he hasn't aged a day. They even use the same actor in a scene at the start of the Fellowship showing Bilbo finding the ring.
@floooooooooooooooood Yep i thought of this exactly but the public doesn't now this, because they haven't read The Lord of The Rings or The Silmarilion or any other Tolkien books.
All the very best Sir Christopher, may you have a good new year and hope you do indeed live to see the "An Unexpected Journey" and "There and Back Again" (especially as the latter will not be around until 2013).
Thank you Mr Lee, I feel humbled by your message. I wish you the best and I love your work, and I always smile when I tell people you love heavy metal.
You sir, are an entertainer and deserve every standing ovation gave to you. It's a noble pursuit, and will be as long as you and other ladies and gentlemen of your caliber continue to bring the people first.
Wonderful Message Christopher, you've entertained me most of my life starting with Dracula which I've now just been able to get hold of and sit and watch with my son, who's already a fan thanks to Star Wars. You're still a young man, wishing you all the best for 2012 xxx
An amazing and very talented actor. Sadly though, I have a deep sinking feeling that Sir Christopher might not be around in a few years after the Hobbit is out He appears quite fragile then I ever seen him. My grandmother was only a few months older in age sadly she passed in 2007. I wish him the best of health and do hope he is around for his 111th birthday
@swdrgn I hope he sees his eleventy first birthday as well :) I do fear the same as you...it seems that he's been feeling his years in the last half year more than ever - just a year ago I was convinced he'd live to 100, now, I can only hope. none of us is exempt from time's wrath, though...if any of us live to see 90, we can only hope our bodies hold out - at that age, the human body is quite unreliable. Saddens me but...thus is life. Either way, Mr. Lee has lead a marvelous life.
He is getting old, yes, but his voice remains as epic as ever and apparently his mind is as sharp too. He is a true living legend. All hail Sir Christopher Lee.
Thank you so much for the message Sir. Christopher. All the best for the upcoming year and we hope, like Bilbo, you are around until at least your 111th birthday!
Thank you for everything Sir Christopher Lee! And best wishes for you and your family. Have a happy New Year and all the best for 2012 and many years to come!
I did not knew your age and was quiet shocked to see you so without make up. You looked a lot younger in the saruman outfit. Wish you a healthy new year ! and that many may follow.
As a child, you terrified me in the Hammer Films...as an adult, you blessed me by playing parts in adaptations from my favorite authors: Philip Pullman and JRR Tolkien! Many Happy Returns!
We all really appreciate your Christmas messages Sir Christopher Lee. You thoughts on the present, future and your own work is always a pleasure to hear.
Thanks for the heartfelt message Sir Christopher. Knowing how much you love the works of Tolkien I do hope that you are given enough time to see and enjoy The Hobbit, both movies. I am glad you and mr. Jackson were able to find a way so your role might be filmed. Saruman did play a big role in the White Council. I am very much looking forward to these films and you being in it is one of the reasons.
Sir Christopher, thanks for this wonderful video, i like to see Saruma talking about magical movies, thanks for all, for Rhapsody too :) , greetings from Colombia
God Bless you Christopher Lee, you made me a fan of British horror films and I will always put you at the top of the list of my favorite actors ever. Thank you for the passion and excellence that you bring to the silver screen.
It's so amazing that he's still lighting up the screen in 2011 and beyond! Sir Christopher is a true legend who we've all grown up admiring and I know he'll still be enchanting many generations to come. Nothing makes me more happy than the fact that he was able to be involved with The Hobbit films! I cannot wait to see them.
I can't wait for the second part- I'm very excited about Omens of Death. Sir Christopher is my single most favorite actor of all time, and seems like he is an extraordinarily kind person on top of everything else. I wish him and his family many more peaceful years of long and happy life. To you, Sir Christopher Lee, have a happy new year.
I think that it is absolutely lovely that Sir Christopher records a personal Christmas message for his fans every year. It just goes to show how thoughtful, and genuine of a fellow he is. He is a true inspiration to all aspiring thespians. Thank you for the well wishes! I hope Sir Christopher and his family have a very wonderful holiday and a happy and peaceful New Year!
Your work will stand on. Especially Tolkien's. Without you, Hobbit wouldn't be right. :)
