I once ran into Stamp in Starbucks in Chelsea, when I was living in London as an actor/screenwriter. He really is the most enchanting man... A million best wishes, Terry..
That's why shows like Graham Norton bug me, too many guests competing for conversation. Parkinson's 1:1s with Peter Sellers and Billy Connolly show how to do it - and LET the guest shine
The most gorgeous man. I have said to people when they've asked who my ideal man is, and when I say Terence Stamp, they haven't a clue who I'm talking about. Their loss.
The ‘beautiful people’ Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, I think that’s where the phrase came from when those 2 lovebirds reigned as leaders of the ‘In crowd’ in 60s swinging London.
Michael Parkinson put his guests at ease and really listened to them. Parky never thought his show was about him. He never condescended to his guests, never tried to be clever at their expense, never grovelled, but was suitably star-struck in the presence of great musicians and Hollywood stars. Terence Stamp was a prince.
Love this one on one Parkinson interview with Terence Stamp. He is such a handsome dreamy looking gentleman, such a captivating voice. Can listen to it for hours, and yes one of the male faces of the 1960’s era. But he has been attractive in every era and so charming. Adore all his films and books. Such a brilliant genius writer as well as actor. 🩵
Mister Stamps respect for the spoken word is inspiring. In a time where the notion is becoming forgotten I would always come back to him to be reminded.
What a wonderful interview! But of all Terence Stamp's great performances, he'll always be Billy Budd to me. One of the greatest, most underrated film roles of all time.
Terence Stamp shared a house with Michael Caine and an old actor friend of mine right at the start of their careers. Whilst Stamp & Caine made it big time, my friend was left behind and I feel so sorry for him.
Terence is tremendously brave to pull through his stay in America while his mother died. He is almost old enough to be my granddad but it doesn't stop me from admitting he is very attractive.
As aa Sarf East Landan guy I can truly empathise with his feelings about his start in life He was very fortunate and I love the honesty that he gives here. He must have trained hard to get rid of the 'cockney' accent we all have
His face is mesmerizing. If I met him in person, my knees would have buckled, my legs would have turned to jello! Being dressed in black in so sexy! His green eyes, his gorgeous hair, wow!
i love Terence Stamp. It seems he uses his stage actor diction in this particular interview. In more recent interviews I've seen, he's got a less affected cockney accent. I like him either way.
The vote must be unanimous Jor-El. It has therefore now become your decision. You alone will condemn us if you wish and you alone with be held responsible by me...Join us. You have been known to disagree with the Council before. Yours could become an important voice in the New Order, second only to my own. I offer you a chance for greatness, Jor-El. Take it! Join us! You will bow down before me, Jor-El! I swear it! No matter that it takes an eternity! YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME! BOTH YOU AND THEN ONE DAY...YOUR HEIRS!
I remember sitting and watching this during its original broadcast. I was a HUGE Superman fan as a kid, still am kinda lol. I thought Terence Stamp was brilliant in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
the Fellini film he is talking about is quite brilliant, it appears to be here on youtube, look for "Toby Dammit with Terence Stamp".....it is about 45 minutes long as it was part of a trilogy of short films that made up the whole movie.
He took well too much LSD in the 60s. He was really handsome and stuff. Plus a voice as well. Like proper old school tembre to his voice. Cheers uploader.
Jesus Christ, his eyes were/are piercingly blue, sort of like Cillian Murphy’s (hell, I’d even go to say that Cillian is the new Terence Stamp). Did his co stars ever get distracted by that? I certainly would.
Interesting man, I think his career took a downward turn around 1968 because he said no to just about every role he was being offered, these were leading roles in big important films by important directors that got made with other actors in the roles meant for him and they became classic films, ironically one of the films he regrets not getting to make was " Blow Up" directed by Antonioni, that was a film he said yes to and was all set to go, then he read a press release that David Hemmings was doing the film, I think he was quite upset to find out that way that he wasn't doing the film after all, even though he had been offered the part and had accepted.
The fella doesn't come over well in interview - gaaaawd bless im ... but anyone who has a genuine interest in the emerging sixties would be well advised to read Mr Stamps three slim autobiographical volumes . Well worth a look 😎
