    He was born in 33, so he's about 80 here. What a sweet man. We see the pain on his face when he recalls the times where people have hurt themselves and others.

    This man is a legend. He's a calm soul and genuinely a terrific actor. It's a shame his memory crept away from him later on. RIP Gene.
  • @JordanRants
    Rest in peace Gene, love all your movies. They bring such childhood nostalgia. Thank you :)
  • @ooliveric
    he is Willy Wonka  the same way Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator , Sylvester Stallone is Rocky and Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones
  • @AnalogX64
    Robert Osborne did a great job helping Gene and filling in the gaps when Gene was struggling. Both R.I.P.
  • @NostalgiaMan
    What a class act This man was so kind and wanted goodness. He died listening to somewhere over the rainbow and lived the life I wish I could
  • @KaliGold
    His family said that Alzheimers started 3 years ago, which is around this the time of this interview. This interview needs to be saved forever.
  • @AHHHHHHHHHHHHl
    Now that Gene is gone, the ending of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will always bring tears to my eyes.
  • @randr2141
    I’m a pretty miserable person, but even I smiled a few times during this. Thank you. Talented actor/lovely man.

    A true gentleman and a true comedian. We lost a treasure when he passed away. I never had the honor to meet Gene Wilder, but I miss him like I had.
  • @BlastBinary
    Today is the day Gene said "good day sir!" to the world. RIP Gene Wilder

    My mother went to college with him. She said the light would come up in his eyes, then the smile, then laughter would boil over from inside. They were both drama students and she played his "Poor little half-mad sister, Agnes" in a production.
  • @adamantman3200
    Gene speaks of his late wife Gilda Radner with a lot of love and respect but it's obvious he was still mourning her loss.
  • This was around the time when his Alzheimer's started. He seems like a really gentle soul. Willy Wonka will be my favorite movie forever. His performance is magic.

    I once saw Gene Wilder in JFK airport, right after seeing a film of his shown (prior to public view) in a New York City screening. I complimented his performance telling him that I laughed so hard I actually fell off my seat (true). Then I said, "how about an autograph", and he agreed..., so I gave him mine. He loved it! :)
  • @ShanuWral
    He wrote 6 books!! NOTHING sad about that at all. Alzheimers sucks but he clearly kicked its ass until his dying day. Blessings to you Gene Wilder and thank you for your art!
  • @LuvBugBlaqkHart
    He was obviously such a genuine and gentle person. I'm so sad I never got to meet him but I'm so glad he existed. We love you Gene!
  • @vickielawson3114
    He always struck me as a genuinely warm, friendly, kind type of person.
