Ernest Borgnine Gives Tour of His Bus 

"And around the back here is where I store the extra 50 pounds of badass that I'm a bit too old to carry round these days." Navy vet, Oscar winner, beloved movie legend. RIP EB

This was published about 6 months before his death. Ernie was a great guy and a great character actor. They just don't make them like Ernie any more. RIP Old Friend!

Nice guy. Down to earth. Definitely not the Hollywood type. He stopped by our campground in Pennsylvania years ago. Just a regular guy enjoying life. RIP.

You can tell that Ernie loved his bus.And he does like to travel. He was such a nice man.R.I.P Ernest Borgnine you are missed.

I remember meeting Mr. Borgnine back around 1976 when I was a kid. He was in Playa del Rey, CA filming Future Cop. There were a bunch of kids wanting his autograph. I came up and asked, "May I please have your autograph?" Mr. Borgnine looked at me with a big smile and said, "That's the way to do it!" He right away signed an autograph for me. I've never forgotten how kind he was.

There will never be another Earnest Borgnine. Arrivederci Ernesto

Ernie looked great for 95. He was certainly proud of his vehicle, i am glad he enjoyed it to the very end. He was a wonderful actor and was in many classic motion pictures.

I loved Ernie since I was a kid. I was devastated when he passed. Actors today aren’t made like this anymore. RIP.

R.I.P. Ernie. the world is not the same without you a great patriot 🇺🇸one of the best actor's to live. thanks for sharing 👍

Mr. Borgnine was 80 years old when he filmed this.

Wow, what a genuinely kind and wonderful human being. The greatest generation!

I remember seeing a show where he was being pranked and he arrived home to find his house wrapped in a huge fumigation tent. He enquired politely what was going on and was told his house was infested with an insect that had to be eradicated before it spread in the US. He then asked how long before he could get back inside his home and was told a few days. Instead of going into" the don't you know who I am" or having a tantrum he simply said I suppose we can go and stay in a hotel for a few days. It was a show that preyed on people acting badly in a stressful situation, it flopped with Ernie as he was so polite, and understanding and remained calm and reasonable the whole time.

See gang? Not so long ago, celebrities were just regular people... Unlike today. Sad.... R.I.P., Ernie.

If you ever want to give someone an example of the epitome of a grounded, feet on floor performer, look no further. He was great and this vid just shows the true warmth of the guy. RIP Fella.

What a great guy. I knew he was a great actor, but it’s lovely to see he was such a regular good guy. I’m glad he seemed to be a happy and fulfilled chap, with a good family life.

a down to earth guy & first class actor.

How many famous people would be so open and friendly...? Not many I bet. Nice guy.

I sat next to him in a restaurant in the mid90’s. He was traveling in his bus, passing through and stopping at an old favorite place of his. I opted this remarkably engaging man chatting up the wait staff. I didn’t realize who he was at first and the. saw that big gap toothed smile and a waiter asking him to sign a menu and put it together. He just had phenomenal positive energy and presence. Once in a while you encounter someone with that bright inner light and Mr. Borgnine was surely one of those.

I worked for the company that made his coach and had the pleasure of meeting him! What a nice gentleman he was!

Rest in peace Ernest Borgnine. You are truly missed.

I've liked this guy ever since McHales navy first came out.

Ernest Borgnine lived to be 95! Amazing!

I was obsessed with The Poseidon Adventure when I was a kid in the 70's. Saw it in the theater a few times.

Just a regular guy that made a few bucks in the entertainment industry. No fakeness or BS. It's wonderful to see how welcoming and down to earth he was. God Bless.

Met him mid 90s, talked for quite a bit. He was exactly the nice guy you think he was.

Great guy. I miss him. One of the few actors who could play funny or dark characters and both convincingly.

I was on cape cod when I saw this big guy getting gas on rt 6A/rt134 I went over and said hi he was very nice

Genuine human being!!! We could all learn from him. The best actor in Hollywood! Thank you Ernest B.!!!

That mans laugh was his career. You always knew when he was on TV or in a movie. What a great fellow he was.

Man l wish l would have run into him, he was one of my favorite actors. I loved McHale's Navy with Tim Conway and the gang!

Ernie's always been one of my favorite actors... in his best role of all time: a truly friendly, 'next-door-neighbor' type of guy!

Ernest Borgnine was a tremendously talented actor who is sadly missed after his passing. I loved him in everything he was in, whether television or film. Today’s actors have nothing on him. Ernest outclassed and out acted them all.

I’m 72 now. I wish I could have known Earnest and have become his friend. He just seems like an ordinary common guy,

Awesome. My grandfather told me stories about hanging out with ernest in the 40,s when he was in the service and would get leave, he said ernest was one of the most down home people he ever met and that he never got angry about being approached by fans. Truly a lost breed , if everyone was like ernest the world would be a much better place, r.i.p.sir, salute 🇱🇷👨‍✈️

Earnest was always a Class Act and Real. Dang , I wish I would have met him.

RIP Ernie. A true gentleman. Regards. Oz.

What a handsome man...RIP Ernie....love all your movies and your genuine smile

Really a big star but so humble and normal . I’ll bet he was so much fun to travel with . R.I.P. Mermaid Man . We love you.

He played so many memorable roles. A treasure.

Last of the great actors. Love Ernest. Poseidon Adventure, great movie. We need to see more of him

i met him in alaska when he was on vacation at the bird cage or bird nest bar the bar was slanted from the earthquake yrs ago we took a picture together what a great guy

I've always loved Ernest Borgnine. Such a sweet guy, not a pretension in sight. He was true Hollywood royalty, unlike these mooks they're subjecting the viewing public with today. But the best thing about him is that he never acted like Hollywood royalty.

R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine, Yesterday Sept 6th, 2018 another favorite actor of mine passed Mr. Burt Reynolds. Thanks for posting this video a thousand THUMBS up!!.

One of the most talented actors, ever, and a truly remarkable human being. Rest in God’s eternal peace, Mr. Borgnine.

I recall when he was on TCM being interviewed by Robert Osbourne. He was so open,engaging,with a great memory and told some really interesting stories. One of a kind for sure. He never retired and seemed to be always busy. RiP

Marble steps on a bus! Bet the rappers don’t have that! Still watch him on AIRWOLF. R.I.P.

commander Mc Hale....I love it

Great man great father, great friend and most of all great actor watched his shows and movies, a real American Hero. Rest in peace sir you are missed always. It would have been an honor to meet you. SJ

Today's celebrities show off mansions they can't afford to impress everyone.

Thank you ernest for all the great movies.

Truly one of the greats, he brought joy and real entertainment to so many. Rest in Peace, now your travels will take you anywhere your heart desires.

I cherish my memories of knowing Ernie and of traveling with him. Such a fun, upbeat guy. He was always so kind to me and to everyone

Seems like a nice guy. Great way to spend your senior years traveling around the country.

The epitome of a real man.

I love your bus, it's awesome, I remember when I was a kid going on camping trips with our motor home, great fun !!! So sad that he passed after making this video, so many will miss him!!!💞☀

Biggest star in the world, and he is out there on his own, on the road, just doing it by himself. No driver, no retinue, just him. He had to be competent to drive that thing, and the little touches - like putting the mats down on the marble so as not to wear them down - are classic practical stuff. Very cool video.

So down to earth, never let fame go to his head. I saw a video where he spoke of his role as the centurian in the movie Jesus Of Nazareth, he talked like he was so moved during the crucifixion scene that he was convicted about Jesus and what He did for us. I hope he became Born again.

That’s the point we get lost in celebrity worshipping forgetting how human they are. I might have enjoyed a cup of coffee with this man just to hear his life stories.

One of my all time favorite actors, and all around awesome man.R.I.P. Ernie, the likes of you will never pass this way again.👏👏👏👏

I sure do miss him. We don't have many Hollywood types like him anymore.

Great actor in the movie, Martie! In which he earned an Oscar for best actor , great movie!

My wife & I met him in the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville, TN. He was with George Lindsey(Goober), they both were very kind & down to earth. I know it must be hard to be famous like that & go out somewhere always knowing that people will notice you & want an autograph or a picture with you. I just told them both thanks & shook their hands. Really enjoyed this video. Just nice to see them both doing well back then. Nowadays so many stars seem to be out of touch with the world around them.

Ernie was one of the very very few Hollywood actors I'd of loved to have met. Great guy. May he rest in peace.

He seemed to be such a nice man. Really a class act.

We will always remember you Mr Borgnine and the joy you brought to us whilst growing up. There will never be another actor like you as you are the best and very much truly missed. RIP Ernest.

Sweet guy. Really like his style for the bus. No pretense or guile just plain Earnestness and hospitality. RIP I think he would've been a good replacement for Charles Kuralt's On the Road. He really had wonderful genes and probably lived pretty clean to be in his 90s there...Hardy Northern/Central Italian Toscano pedigree.

Lovely video clip ! R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine - You will be sorrowfully missed !

WWII Navy vet. That says it all!

This man was beautiful inside and out. He loved life truly, plus he was a great character actor. Just watch Marty, Airwolf or Escape From New York. You can tell he enjoyded that bus all around!

Most young people couldn't say anything about the older actors, just as I couldn't tell you who these young actors are. But, in my generation they were loved & admired and will be remembered forever...

I grew up watching this guy...i miss this generation...as a boy they made me feel safe and strong

My sister served him many yrs ago in an LA restaurant...She said he was such a nice guy and easy going...I still miss him a lot

Wow. He passed away 5 months after this post. Nice guy.

he was a first-calss guy, so sad he's passed

Breathing hard but lived another 17 years - RIP

Thanks For Uploading this..He was so proud, and happy to show his "coach"..It's nice to see him as a regular person..and Glad he was having fun..God Bless Him..May he Rest In Peace, and his Memory be Eternal,,,

He was 95 years old in this video, still stomping around and living it to the fullest. Died six months later, but God bless him.

Damn, Ernie. Just happened upon this video and it was bittersweet. It's good to see you again but reminds me of all our friends who are gone now. I wish I'd known the last time we saw each other was going to be the last time we saw each other. You are missed.

Best Actor for Borgnine and Best Picture 'Marty' in 1955. An American masterpiece and a treasured jewel of a film. Not to be missed.

All my tough guy heroes sadly have passed away.As of writing this Clint Eastwood is the only one left.Feel blessed to have grown up as a kid back in the 70s watching guys such as Ernest Borgnine wreck havoc on the big screen in their prime.Feel even luckier to be able to see Ernest on you tube being a regular,cool down to earth guy. Really makes you miss being a kid again.How quickly the time goes by.

This is a great video. What a classy guy. Ernest was a part of my childhood back in the 1960s. My dad, being a WWII vet, was a big McHale's Navy fan.

Wouldn't it be something to run into Borgnine at a truck stop?

what a cool man so friendly not snobish at all

What a lovely man. No airs and graces, just sharing the bus he loves with those of us who may be interested.

Remember when Ethel Merman said she divorced him after one month of marriage because he held her head under the bedcovers and gave her a Dutch oven??? lol I never liked him but after that I hated him.BARF but ...old school men

Loved Ernie too!! You could hear the labored breathing

I like how he described front and back as "fore and aft" ..like describing a ship.

Great guy, he will be missed!

He's the real deal. Years ago Paul Harvey related this: On LAS Vegas sidewalk Borgnine was accosted by 2 muggers, he beat stuffing out of 1 then chased other 2 blocks and gave him the same. Let's guess how many modern "tough guy" actors could or would do that. ZILCH!

I liked Ernie since in the 50's when I was a young man. The movies that I saw, impressed me as his personality came through and he was indeed of good personality and character. Memories of a great actor and a friendly nice fellow.

Ernie Borgnine the only Hollywood tough guy not afraid of Frank Sinatra, lol.

What a great guy.I miss Ernie.

He died at age 95 six months later than this video. Four wives, 4 children. Nice guy, what a long run!

Considering how overweight he was amazing he lived so long. I really liked him.

Earnest has since passed, however he became a head/leader of the mobile movement. He's a grad from my High School, Hamden High 1935' and, we'all take pride of him being a GREEN DRAGON !

Very nice Man. R.I.P.🙏

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I'M AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE IN MY FIFTIES AND LOVED SEEING YOU WITH YOUR DAD ON THIS ROAD TRIP. MY DAD DIED SUDDENLY OF AN ANUERYISM AT AGE 43, WHEN I HAD JUST STARTED COLLEGE. I WISH I HAD THE YEARS TO DO A TRIP LIKE THIS. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH GOOD MEMORIES DOING THIS, AS AN ACTOR HE WAS PROBABLY AWAY ON LOCATION IN YOUR YOUTH. THIS WAS SO SWEET WATCHING THE CLIPS, I TEARED UP. BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS.

I love that Mr. Borgnine takes such pride in his RV.......Safe Travels Ernie. Thanks for all the years you provided our entertainment.

Absolutely loved this man. Great actor. So down to earth and kind. They don't make them like him anymore. Ernie you are missed by me and my family so very much. RIP. Thanks for posting this. A real joy to watch.

One of my fave actors. "Marty" is one of best films of all time. He really was proud of his bus and what a nice one it was..
