It is OKAY for a man to cry sometimes. Seeing Dolph break down and start crying, in a way was very beautiful and moving. Seeing this guy who has a very macho tough guy image and works really hard to maintain it, just be vulnerable and show the world that he's a human being with feelings like everyone else.
I so understand his reaction to owing up mistakes, and apologising to his family and the emotional impact it shows in the interview. Kudos to you Dolph.
It takes a big man to apologise for the hurt they've caused. More courage than you think you have. Well done Dolph. You should be proud of owning your mistakes, and seeking forgiveness.
@@robd1329 He was knee deep in group sex when he dated Grace Jones. But like everything, it gets boring. Or so my friend says. His bisexual girlfriend would pick up girls and they would have threesomes regularly ( like twice a month ). Eventually it got so samey that he would let the girls play together in the bedroom while he played videogames the couch. I kid you not.
@@anthonymartino9917 You don't redeem yourself when you do shit like that. It is permanent. The act happened. He is weak in character, despite the hero's that he plays.
I remember Dolph back in Sydney Uni where he was studying Chemical Engineering he was a giant of a man both physically and metaphorically. After seeing this video I have more respect for him. Well done Dolph.
I can’t even think of the words to describe how incredible this interview is. To think he’s this big action star but on the inside is the opposite and he’s just expressing himself like this. Much respect.
You can see the difference in Dolph from the bad years through his performances in his films. You can tell in his career from 1997-2007 that his heart just wasn't in it. If you see him now, it's like night and day.
Dolph Lundgren is my hero. This is the best interview I have ever seen of Dolph. Wish it was longer. The interviewer really did his research and wish interview was longer.
Throughout my life I looked up to all the poster boys from the 80s... Sly, Arnie, Dolph and others And just now I begin to realize they are human... not Terminators or Universal Soldiers ....
I've watched many famous people interviewed and Dolph is one of the most honest and open person that I have watched and heard. I like listening to his stories.
Great guy real honest admit his mistakes. A Scorpio like me ,sad trauma he went through. I can definitely relate. Keep up the good work Dolph your a Scorpion. I definitely messed up on my ex wife and I wasn't the best dad either. Your such a big inspiration to me.
I'm glad I watched this interview; I really appreciate his sharing some difficult times in his life. It's amazing to see how much Dolph's older daughter looks like him. Cool!
He was and is a great action actor. After hearing of his story with cancer, and the art how he surpassed this situation, that was / are a hard time for him and his family. He earns maximum respect ✊🏻 for that. In this interview he shows his emotional side, that he always hided on screen. He played the strong hero’s, that was/ are invincible. But he is a sensitive human being, that allowed himself to cry / tears to show the love that he have for his children. Real mens cry tears when the situation is for that- only sociopaths not. Wish you health and the best Mr. Lundgren, and many new films.
This interview has really opened my eyes to the idea that maybe seeing someone in terms counseling/therapy isn’t a weakness. Being in my late thirties close to forty, I grew up believing that therapy was something you did if you weren’t mentally strong enough to handle life. I will NEVER say I had a tough life because there are ALWAYS going to be people out there who had it FAR FAR FAR WORSE THAN I DID. However I did grow up in a so called “broken family” because my parents divorced when I was 8/9 years old. We lived with my mother who became emotionally and physically abusive. She would hit me and my sisters, she would pull us by the hair around the house. She hit me with objects too including a wooden meat tenderizer and even a frying pan on two different occasions (probably would’ve been more if I hadn’t ripped it out of her hands when she went to swing to hit me again during the second beating I got with it and told her if she ever hit me with it again it would be THE LAST THING SHE EVER DID, and I absolutely MEANT IT). I’m not going to dump my whole life story on a RU-vid comment that literally NO ONE is going to read because it’s too long. I’ll finish up by saying this. After all the abuse physical mental and emotional. After being poor as a kid growing up in Boston to the point of being evicted twice including getting served the eviction notice by the sheriff on Xmas eve, and having every placed we moved be smaller than the previous one to the point where it was literally a motel room for me, my younger sister, mom and her bf. Thankfully my father fought and got custody of us and then we lived with 9 people in it during my high school years. After 9/11 happened and personally knowing two people who lost loved ones (one was on one of the planes that took off from Boston and the other was someone’s brother who worked in the north tower of The WTC’s) I remember to this day being in class and telling my friend just as the second plane hit that it was intentionally done and my exact words were “Well, college is going to have to wait because I’m joining the military” and that’s exactly what I did as soon as I turned 18. Now I’m a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran and an avowed Atheist, I was an automotive technician for GM for several years after my unexpected medical discharge from the military after 7 years of service including two combat AOR deployments. I tried to make the best out of my life but I live every day in severe physical pain as well as mental and emotional pain from different things that happened in my life over the years whether it was as a kid or as an adult like losing a few of my military “brothers” at their own hands including a very close friend who did it while his family including his young sons and his wife as well!! I need to consider therapy because I’ve contemplated making the ULTIMATE CHOICE just so I am not in pain anymore!! They’d rather I’d off myself rather then prescribe pain meds despite them seeing the MRI’s and knowing there are legitimate reasons for my pain!! For anyone who has actually read this, THANK YOU!!
Thanks for sharing and you've had a hard run. I hope you can talk through your issues with someone and figure out what's next for yourself. You still have options and it's up to you what you do with them. Your future is yours to make.
Thank you so much for posting this interview. I always liked and respect Dolph Lundgren as a person and actor. He is a great person. I wish him all the best.Stay Strong Dolph. 💪
These are a series of very good and honest interviews. Mr. Lundgren has had many opportunities and experiences in life which it appears to have learned from it. It's commendable for anyone to come to terms with their problems and behavior, then recognize, changes are needed. I should think it would be more difficult for someone so famous and have many adoring fans, to set aside ego and deal with their stuff. I respect the man that much more for these kind of accomplishments and self accountability.
I didn't know that he had any type of abuse problem. What I noticed in movies recently that he looks much better. Good job Dolph lundrim. Keep up the good work buddy. I'm happy for you.!
I have been there and done that to my family. It is a hard road to go down, but I believe I went down that dark road, so my kids didn't have too. I have full turned my life around and my kids have forgiven me, but the ex-wife hasn't and that still hurts. I put her through a lot, and I know that. Hopefully one day my ex-wife will love me again and we can move forward. But I feel Dolph's pain and it still hurts 9 years later.
Graham you are the best interviewer-love your style. Father God heal Dolph, and if he has never known Your Great Love for him bring him and his family into Your Loving arms of Salvation-Jesus Christ, and thank You for Your unconditional love in Jesus name amen and amen
