[arealOpia1991]

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

River is such a angel, the light in my dark!! .. rest in paradise sweeeeet river <3

[ILoveChrisChambers]

LMAO, even the host is charmed by River 4:26.

[ReGuterrez]

"OH GOD!"

[leedumett444]

river is very old headed here. he is only 17, but very level headed, and wise beyond his years.

[brieexbae]

I. (3 river

[twilightriverlove]

@gummybear422 I agree River should have thought more of himself he was so beautiful,humble sweet and talented.Everyone loved him except the few occasional obbsessed and delusional assholes who have no taste and just come around to make trouble.Man I hate people like that I wish they would just go away forever.

[aljforever01]

& to whoever the fuck Sylicone221 is ;; Stfu , If you hate him so much, Why on EVERY video of his, you comment.? You're obv jealous :)

[aljforever01]

What a nice interview with river Phoenix, he's so honest and sweet

[irhjma30000]

i know those glasses were acceptable back then (lol) but i'd love to see the interview WITHOUT them on! they take up half of his beautiful face!

[stevepaxify]

@missbabysoul- this pathetic retard silicone for brains(221 must stand for how many brain cells she has left) is obsessed with river!! She loves him sooooooo much! So much in fact she thought she would do just what river did. She needs help badly

[catspear]

@stevepaxify OMG! this silicone person is driving me mad too! if enough of us block her she might get deleted from youtube!! she repeats herself all the time

[MissBabysoul]

why do you respond to this sylicone beast? Reaction is everything it wants. Why do you give it what it wants? I don't understand..

[TheRiverofBelief]

@MissBabysoul EXACTLY... Ignore this misguided sick girl

[piratelove38]

What a special person he was, you can just tell...

[IloveRiverRIP]

Very sweet, modest and beautiful...

So heartbreaking to him say that he doesn't like to think about getting old.. =[ RIP River.

[wisesatyr72]

I was 16yrs in 1988

[MeBenHalpin]

[PINKBULLETS26]

[Odymull]

Sad... he says 'I try not to think of getting OLD.' Well he never had to worry about that. This year he would have been 40.... yes 40 had he lived. RIP.

[Gucciixx]

i have never seen such beauty before in my life, and LOL @ 4:07 i love how he is surprised his cast mates think of him as an extraordinary actor. river phoenix was one of a kind, honestly i dont think anyone today is like him. rest in piece rio!

[PieceofMindmusic]

[ofbestfit]

@sylicone221

[ChelzeaAnne]

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

[seta1120]

[ohsuckitup2]

Aww, I really enjoyed watching River in this interview! He was so pure and natural...Man I wish he was still here making great interviews like this <3

And I love this glasses :) Normally I wouldn't, but they looked so darn cute on him, hehe. He made them look awesome =)

[hethforever]

river <3

[lylasinybb]

river <3 + best movie ever!

[omgaw]

he is so beautiful, wow

[hwyitagesu]

River is such a teen here. All care free and sweet.

[elliekate39]

i feel so sad for all of us that we never even got a chance to know him im so glad that there are others that feel such a strong connection to him.

[riverluv93]

i agreee but i love this movie and i love him and wonderful movies like this will keep his memory alive

[toterola451]

I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it. The acting was first rate, and River really hit his stride in it.

That mustache on Joel Siegel though... I think he must have stolen it from John Holmes!

[riverjp]

I miss you River. This world and its animals lost a great human being:( I love you River forever! RIP

[christellelovesRiver]

Love River Phoenix forever.

[Radetzky19]

He was amazing. It's ashame how this world can torment those who are truly good.

[MissAlly20]

Omg this almost made me cry. River was so beautiful and sooo sweet. I wish he was still with us. :(

[Meag15]

I like rivers voice very much (:

[inspired47]

same here

[jude9406]

@Meag15 Me too!

[87Auby8]

Aww he was lovely! This is a great interview! He's so right though, no one likes getting old. I wish I could've stayed 17 forever, alas I'm 18, so maybe I can just stop aging now! River was sooo sweet though!

[rainbowsandwar]

I feel the exact same as River when he says "don't say that" about him getting older and having to live on his own. I'm going to be turning 18 in less than a month and I feel the same way, and it's depressing me, so I found this interview at a good time, haha.

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

River we all love and miss you sweeeetie... colleen

[Underwatermuffin]

Happy birthday, River Phoenix! xoxo

[JAVMAN3000]

His death hit me really hard. What a great person & actor he was.

[gummybear422]

oh my gracious he is so humble. when the interviewer says "everyone says you're terrific" he's like "OH GOD" he looks so embarrassed! and then how he says how much did you pay them haha...he's beautiful, just beautiful. but he doesn't have to be so modest he shouldn't have thought so lowly of himself at all.......<33

[godwhyisthistaken]

wow the host of good moring america been there for ever.

[randomtoastlover]

that joel interviewer guy was a brown noser....laughing nearly at every sentence river or anyone said and praising river which clearly put him in an awkward position and river himself knew that his jokes were just "smile to yourself jokes" and that interviewer just kept laughing....and his laugh was really fake..like he was reading how to laugh! rivers the best

[myownprivatesantafe]

God, River really was the sweetest thing...i miss him so much

[GregOBehave]

The interviewer is a Mario Bros'.

Thanx for this upload. Rare stuff. And Running on Empty is a great film.

[linus125]

What did River say in 4:10?

[noisyrag]

Uhhh...wow...Well, I try..I try to be a nice guy. I mean, I don't try. I'm not a brown noser or anything. heh. I don't know. It's just my nature.

[linus125]

Thank You, but as a matter of fact I meant his short funny answer - question right before that. (4:08).

[noisyrag]

He said "How much did you pay them?"

[linus125]

Thank You:)

[33p1nk3]

Why did he always referred to himself as being old? He hadn't even turned 18 here.

He really did seem like a nice person, he really was beautiful

[123ellebelle]

Because he'd had to grow up very quickly and probably felt old with all the stuff he went through with supporting his family.

I think he was depressed, I suffer from it myself so I can see it.

[randomtoastlover]

ya i agree like during the thing called love interviews he was saying hoe his roles are maturing with his "old age"......note he was 23

[butterflyjamjar]

that is the biggest moustache i have ever seen! x miranda, uk x

[jetblackjumper]

Susie223 you're such a fucking idiot. I'm not sure what you have against River since you never met him. Personally, I've never heard anyone he knew talk badly about him. They always say that he was the kindest person they ever met. Unfortunately he was dealing with problems and they got the best of him, could've happened to anyone.

Leave him alone, you have no right to say things like that. Show some fucking respect. You can't be so blatantly rude about someone dying - famous or not.

RIP River

[LittleBritain2006]

This was a great interview! He seems quite relaxed. Thanks for adding it!

[riverchick23]

A "movie now being made" I wish!!

[violetta223]

Yeah, this was River's best film, closely followed by 'Stand By Me' then 'Dogfight IMO'.

[PauHc4E]

River Phoeniix :D <3

I will always remember him.. (:

I have 10 pictures of him in my room :p

I love you Rioo :'( <3
