I agree, he interrupts a bit too much and we are unable to hear many of Paul’s thoughts or even answers for that matter. He can’t even answer a question and he constantly got interrupted by Jay. Jeez, annoying. May he finally be able to slow down a bit and Rest In Peace, such an icon Paul is. Thankfully he will always be remembered fondly by myself and many millions more!
WOW! Between 1982 to July 2019 Newmans Own has now made more than 22,000 grants totalling over $550,000,000!!! God bless this man and his beloved Joanna. I hope there is a heaven, these two deserve to be reunited. RIP Paul❤️ Lovely interview. Jay really got this usually very shy man out of his shell. (Loved how he lit up at the mention of badminton❤️)
I have to respect the character that he displayed by choosing to not live in LA. He'd rather take his family back to New England and live in a "normal" environment than deal with the wacked out publicity freaks in the Hollywood Circus. He valued his privacy far more than the publicity that was typical in that industry. He seemed to get by "OK" in spite of staying away from the crowds. ;^)
@@cellardoor199991 I believe you're correct but the majority of the acting community seem to congregate in the LA area... that's where they seem to feel the work is. There are several (usually older) actors who prefer to move to a "more normal" part of the country and let their agents deal with the LA crowd.
I recollect after reading his biography 20 years or so ago he wasn't happy with the the studio with the roles he was given. Slowly he accumulated enough money to buy his way out of the contract. That took a lot of gusto which made him the legend and philanthropist. That's my vague recollection and please correct or add to . Thanks for reading.
@@Merylcaine Utter nonsense. Don't confuse the good ones with the arseholes that get all the attention. The media only focuses on them, which tars everyone else with the same brush.
Always loved him HE was a great guy. Funny .good looking . good husband great sense of humor.Alot if class Paul Newman and Robert Redford were great in the movies they did together.He was the best looking guy Iever saw.
Has there ever been anyone cooler than Paul Newman,recognized by everyone on the planet,gave more to charity than most people Could ever dream,and all done with grace ,humility and style what a man ,,!
My guess is most viewers are going to come away from this thinking Paul Newman was a so-so race driver playing around with racing. Nothing could be further from the truth! Fact is he was a top driver who drove in some of the toughest car races in the world. Luminaries like Mario Andretti considered him a very capable driver and my guess is that if he had started out earlier he may have been one of the best. Paul's daughter went to college in the town where I live in Maine and Paul and his wife used to visit her every year. They both developed a reputation among locals as good people and they literally exuded a feeling of modest friendliness. A local story has a teenage girl asking Paul for his autograph and Paul responding that he didn't give autographs because he was nobody special. When invited by a Maine magazine to comment on the Hole In The Wall cancer camp for kids he funded Paul wrote a short essay saying that he was a lucky guy who had made a lot of money and he wanted some of that money to be used for a good purpose. He then added that the people who deserved the real credit for the camp were the devoted doctors, nurses, and support people who worked with the kids. Great actor, great race car driver, and most importantly a great human being...
Pretty impressed Paul Newman loved Badminton. I’m a huuuge badminton fanatic. Consider the current Guinness book of world record speed stands at a staggering 306 mph (493 kmh) just south of 500 kmh. One player actually hit a shot that impaled a watermelon, with the shuttlecock embedded firmly in the gourd upto the tape behind the leather covered cork tip. Wow! Tres incredible! Check out ‘this is Badminton’ on Google. It will simply blow your mind, lol! Blistering, mind numbing action shot after shot too, you won’t believe. Great to see PN on Jay Leno. Jay mentioned the fact that most people are seriously deprived of the real thing lolol! They only are familiar with the outdoor ‘garden variety’ game, not sport I call ‘goodminton’. Notice I didn’t cap the word. Cheers!
@@timheidel5849 Yeah? He won the race too, and pulled the gap further and further apart. He was a very good actor, and a great race car driver. Most people have no idea how awesome a driver he really was.
@@fifteenbyfive I worked with PLN in SCCA races and in Indy Car. I have one of his driving suits and some autographed things (and Paul did not like doing autographs). Comedian Adam Carolla now owns much of Paul's race cars and equipment.
He made some great movies, the kind that no matter how many times I've seen them, if they're on I'll watch 'em again and enjoy every minute. The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, The Color of Money, Butch and Sundance, Towering Inferno, The Sting, and Slap Shot. And probably a few others I'm forgetting. And I like his products, I've never had a Newman's Own product that wasn't great. It's the only coffee I'll drink. Even frozen pizza, which usually is lousy at best, is very good.
Loved Paul Newman, great actor and class act. Leno, not so much. His loud, crass interview style and no matter who he was interviewing he always managed to turn it back to himself.
I have to disagree about Leno. He was funny, intelligent, and entertaining. Look at what we have now as late night hosts! Carson, Letterman, Cavett, Leno, Parr, etc. were in a class of their own! A bygone era of talk show hosts...imo!
@@timheidel5849 Yeah he did, but did you notice that he continued to pull further and further ahead of Leno? That shows superior driving skills. And besides, I'll bet Leno secretly took the faster car for himself!
@@stevenswm9844 Since Paul is much lighter than Leno (and a pro driver) he SHOULD be pulling ahead. In a staged race like that, whoever got in front could just block and win...and it would have been rude for Jay to invite a legend like PLN onto his show and beat him. It was fun to watch. Hard to believe that Paul has been gone for almost 11 years.
What can you say except for Pure class old school actor. Nothing today can come close to him rest in peace.Paul. plus he raised fine kids. With a Wonderful wife
What a class act a 100 million by 05 donated how much do u think it is by now that man lived rite awarded best looking man how many times and never any controversy of him cheating on his wife of over 50 years and any woman wanted him till he died I guess thats the way to live if u have what he had great man more actors should follow his lead
Newman played ALL kinds of sports because his father owned one of the biggest sporting goods store in Shaker Heights, Ohio. His father was very wealthy, too. And so is Newman where he has donated over $300 million dollars to charity via his Newman's Own line of food products.
love love love Paul Newman. Did anyone else notice when they gave him the flag, he said, "what do I do with this?" hahahaha you keep it! haha he's the best. always will be.
