Donny Osmond and Lenny Henry interview - Parkinson - BBC

[1975Zantar]

One of his nephews did serve in England I think it was the one, I can't remember his name but he was a postman at snow college or something and he was Merle's son I think? One of my companions had the hugest crush on him

[Myview246]

lol he attacked a black man on tv!

[TheKev1960]

If Donny had not got fame so young, you bet he would have been on a mission. Donny and his family have brought a lot of happiness and pleasure to this world. Donny has relatives that have served missions. I'm sure one of his nephews served over here in England and I like to think his children have done also, although I'm not sure.

[cwood4ever]

Funny how Donny didn't have to serve a mission but I did just because I didn't have a voice. Still waiting on those blessings I was promised.

[annepavlos1]

@cwood4ever

Donny indeed had to serve a "mission", his "mission" has taken place his entire life....The elders of the church felt that the publicity generated by the "clean cut" Osmonds to be of paramount importance for the positive image of the Morman faith; Donny has been living as that "iconic image" his entire life.

[cwood4ever]

@annepavlos1 HAHAHAHAHAHA what a load of shit. I could have started my "mission" in college and then did my mission my career but instead the "Elders" needed me to go a "mission" in George for which I have yet to get one so called blessings. I guess because Donny was rich and he had all that tithing to pay his mission was better served making more and more money. After all money is a evil thing and fame doesnt matter when it comes to winning souls for Mormonism, oh wait unless your Donny. GTFO

[boheme19]

I do not for the life of me understand the Lenny Henry criticism. He is just hilarious! Milks the situation? Isn't that what comics do? Take the situation and examine it every which way but loose and exaggerate the funny in it! He's great!!!

[edwina22]

Theres no one like lenny henry to milk a situation, as soon as he hears a laugh the idiot dont shut up. He was shit then and he is still shit now, and the more you morons laugh at him the more you encourage him. He is probably the most crap of all comedians ever to be on telly. Total shit.

[nelsboom555]

i knew it i freaking knew it

[OhSoSwingin60s]

DONNY OSMOND IS A WINNER!!

[50diamondgirl]

i love donny. my only wish is to one day meet him in person.

[racklewackle]

love his face at 0:38

[ronMexico121]

I've never met him, but I'm guessing this Donny Osmond freak was anything but a "normal teenager".

[GhostofMichaelJakson]

I am so much better than Donny Osmond, even in Ghost form.

[cinstlu]

@GhostofMichaelJakson ...Well ther reason you are in ghost form and Osmond isn't is that you were stupid enough to depend on drugs and you lived a messed up life.

[stylishnene]

this D.OSMOND guy is a very HONEST n pure person. He says the truth always.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

You are right.

Donny Osmond is so HONEST!!!

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Donny Osmond is an accursed fool!

[TheYTChronicles]

Hmph! He actually seems a pretty cool guy! He's been mispresented over the years, clearly.

[cinstlu]

@TheYTChronicles Who ever, ever said that trying to lead a moral life makes someone boring and not interesting was wrong.

[TheYTChronicles]

'@YTChronicles'...are you having a go at me or something?

[cinstlu]

@TheYTChronicles No I think I was agreeing with you.

[jugador80]

Michael jackson and he were the most popular in the late 70

[andrewisaslut]

I love donny. if you wanna get some osmond action come to my channel!

[Yamibooze]

WARNING: my mum is a crazed donny osmond fangirl and will cut down anyone in her way to a concert

[kathleenm100]

Is Donny actually telling the truth that he never had pre-marital sex? Like he said the urges were there and he is a man!!!!!!!!!!!!

[puppylover1960]

Saw Donny and Marie in Las Vegas in April. I had a front row seat. Donny got down on one knee and sang to me. Then got to meet him back stage. The best night of my life.

[alexisinfanteo]

very, very good.

[jacobyde]

What is his religion?

[dwndbayou]

He belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; we know them as Mormons. This family is the epitome of good, clean living....

[heavenboundiwillbe]

lillestat....Speak for yourself, would you? There are some of us who are NOT liars, sexualy active, evil, into occult and all the other things you mentioned! I for one strive to be Christ like in my everyday life.....Donny was and is a very outstanding, respectful man. If he says he didn't partake in those things, I completely and totally believe him! You need to stop generalizing people. Everyone is different...GBY

[tommyboo21]

Reading some of the comments below was a lot more interesting than the video clip. How boring was that?

[iusedtobethere]

lillestat, you just cannot believe that there are several of us who controlled ourselves when we were teens and even in our 20's...no drugs, no alcohol, no premarital sex...it's called respect for yourself...yeah, I was one of them.

[blackcat89]

@iusedtobethere i like anal sex and strong cider

[bunnyluv41]

Donny is as honest as he comes. If he says he didn't "partake" .. that's exactly what he meant. He's also honest enough to say that he's human, and humans always will be tempted to do things that they normally wouldn't do. :)

[lillestat]

yeah.

he's lying

[bunnyluv41]

I hope you're joking when you say that Donny is lying.

[lillestat]

if anyone in showbusiness says they haven't taken drugs or had sex with groupies/fans whatever, they are talking out of their arses

[bunnyluv41]

I guess that means you must know Donny Osmond quite personally ... or maybe it goes to show how ignorant you really are. Before you go pointing fingers at people, why don't you take a look in your own glass house.

[lillestat]

it goes to show how naive you are.

human beings are petty and evil, they lie, they cheat, they fornicate, they drink, some take drugs. call it unfair generalisation if you must but that man is just like the rest of them. as you said, he's human.

and ok, i'll look in my own glasshouse. and i'll readily admit that i am a sadist, a liar, a drunk, a hater, ruthless, a pessimist and an occultist. but i admit i'm a bad person.

[lillestat]

Osmond has had an entire career out of an innocent anglelic persona, ever since he was a kid in his shit family band. it makes him money and he would do nothing to jeopardise it

open your eyes my dear and let me give you some advice. expect the worst from mankind, because if you don't they will always prove you wrong. we are evil, and no illusion of 'god' or 'goodness' can dispell that

so thats me :D spreading the hatred and despair, one happy clappy moron at a time ¬_¬

[annette64]

This was funny. He admitted temptations and his strength to withhold. Good for you Donny. BTW, STILL as cute as ever! ;)

[footsur]

I've never dared admit this in public before, but let's face, Donny Osmond is a pretty cool guy.

[maryautism]

Donny is soo irresistable!

[litlbit2001]

No wonder all the girls love him now and back then. He was my first music crush when i was a kid and if I met him today I would thank him for all the wonderful memories his music had brought me as a kid.

[lebaneseasilah]

Aww, Dawn is so lucky. lol

[drawakangaroo]

Thanks for the video.

[lynjef7]

Lenny Henry's a cracker - soooo funny.

[glcfordco]

[Wstendstar]

[SpearTwain]

You know I was just a kid in the 50's and I just couldn't get the deal with Donny. But looking at him now the man is hot!!!

[leaaron7]

Great sense of humour!

[lembellglitter]

[Lava1964]

Donny sounds like a great guy.

[generic53]

Sounded VERY "clean cut" to ME.

[wadyano]

of course it did. what makes him clean cut in how he acts not what he wanted.

[GLASGOWHOBO]

THE THREE STOOGIES

[kirstieandlou]

Donny is so cute and i love going to see him in concert. I would also love to see the hole film of this interview. He is a great musican and i love all the music he has done. I love having a signed picture of him that his driver got me when he was on tour in 2005. I will love him for years to come.

[lisodo1]

Where can I find this entire interview?  How old is this interview, anyone know?

[tigertbalm]

I think he got the last laugh being thought of as so goody-goody, look how many musicans he has outlived! He looks great and is good health too.

Donny has one the best smiles today in this world. Way to go Donny and God Bless you.

[Brinker72]

When was this exactly?

[rmworthem]

[justmissjulie]

Still in love with Donny. And I LOVE that Lenny(?) knew the lyrics to Crazy Horses and Love Me for a Reason. I hope the Osmonds tour America after the UK. What happens in Vegas can't just stay in Vegas!! It's not fair to the rest of us!
