People forget that the only reason the overdose proved to be fatal for Cory is his body had no tolerance for it since being in rehab flushed his system of the chemicals. Plus, the fact he did both heroin and alcohol depressed his respiratory system preventing him from breathing. If he just drank or did heroin alone, a high chance he'd be alive (possibly another stint in rehab). He seemed to be a lovely person who tried to do his best to be happy. Will miss his talents. ❤
Also there are legal drugs that can be used to mitigate opioid detox, relapse and overdose that aren’t administered by most rehab facilities due to fear of liability and other random costs. There were a host of ways the system failed to adequately treat and prevent exactly what ended up happening. It was completely tragic and unnecessary and the system is responsible for many fatalities and opioid addicts falling through the cracks.
when they started talking about cutting his character out on glee and cory being curious to how they would remove his character wow……. that hit me so hard
It's his fault for abusing drugs and alcohol, I am not saying that his death wasn't sad because any death is sad. Especially if this person was close to you in some way of form. But, he got himself to that point where it was hard for him to get away from doing all these things that you not suppose to be doing. He was self-destructive individual and in a way maybe it was meant to be, maybe this was his time to leave us.
NoX# it’s hard to get off the stuff when you’re addicted or where addicted, on top of that he’s in the limelight, i can’t imagine the pressure he felt or what was going through his head.
I never met Cory Monteith in person, I just watched him through that magical box called t.v. and I instantly fell in love with his character (Finn). Seeing him and hearing him in interviews and all that made him all that more real. More lovable, flaws and all. I hate to imagine that warm lovable person in a room alone moments away from his death. HOW!? WHY?? So many questions and no answers. I as a fan feel so broken hearted, for him and for his family and Lea. R.I.P CORY MONTEITH. uwillbmissed.
What strikes me about this is the seriousness. Yes, there's a few laughs, but there's no gushing about "ohmygod I love you in "Glee" and I think you're so handsome and ARE YOU DATING LEA MICHELE OR NOT??" It's real conversation, and I like that. There should be more talkshows like this. (at least in Norway. Sheesh, we have none!)
I believe Cory was a fundamentally good person - who despite a difficult childhood and some powerful inner demons, really fought hard everyday to say and do the right thing. His involvement in charity work and incredible kindness and humor with fans, is a true testament to the outstanding person Cory was. I think the disparity between his clean cut public image and his very dark reality took a toll on him - it's incredibly sad that he wasn't able to find the middle ground.
i cant stop noticing how he keeps looking the interviewer directly into his eyes. im not sure what this means but i feel like it shows hes a great listener and tried hard to respond the best to the questions given
WOW. what an amazing interview. not only cory, but the interviewer as well, so natural, so relaxed. just letting the conversation flow, not something you see very often in other interviews..!
He's smile is so amazing :') Him & glee inspired me to be more confident in my singing It's so sad and it makes me cry that he's gone:( Rip Cory montieth
This is a very good interview. Cory has so much depth as a person, very level-headed, intelligent and grounded. He was so Canadian- the epitome of a real Canadian man. What a waste. We lost a great guy. Rest in peace Cory.
He has such a big heart and he is so humble. We all have our struggles and challenges in life and sometimes they get the best of us. You will always be remembered for bringing so much joy into so many homes around the world. Your body is resting peacefully. You were amazing and you will certainly be missed.
I'm about 101% sure he's in Heaven. He never talked about his faith,but it was evident in his actions he had the love of God inside of him. God knows and judges our hearts, and Cory had one of the most golden hearts I've ever seen. I'll always love him.
I'm French and I didn't know a word about Glee until two weeks ago. I knew Cory was dead but I didn't even know how. And then I watched the first three seasons of Glee, and found out about Cory, and can't stop crying for the last few days. This video makes me weirdly so happy. I should be crying right now but I smile because this is EXACTLY the way I want to remember Cory. It helps a lot. Thank you... And RIP Cory ♥ EDIT : I've read some of the comments from those last 2 years and some of them are so rude. For some people, being a drug addict is being a bad person who certaintly can become a criminal or a rapist or whatever. Guys what are you talking about ? you don't know ANYTHING about taking drugs and alcohol and you just can't judge a person for what she's been through. Taking drugs is NOT a choice and not a way to live. It's a DISEASE. A mental disease. Plus, you don't know a thing about what his family and friends did or about how they were with him. You can think whatever you want but keep it to yourself, and respect the memory of a young man that surely was dealing with a lot of tough issues.
+demeko96 You are wrong on two parts. Taking drugs IS a choice, but being and addict is not, it is a disease. The difference is that at some point in their lives, an addict made the choice to START. My dad smoked cigerettes for 22 yrs straight. Had he not started at all, he may have still had that addiction inside him, but he wouldn't have any consequences. And 2nd, you're in a public forum, people are allowed to express opinions that you might not agree with. When you reach adulthood you may understand these issues better.
+Sunny san diego 1) this is what I meant. 2) you're totally right and in the same way, I am allowed to say that I disagree with them. There is a difference between giving your opinion publicly, and be disrespectful to someone who's not even here anymore to defend themselves.
1:41 - "I'm always about the next thing...the next job...the next challenge...at the edge of the cliff." Such a nice interview/conversation and connection between them that both their fathers reconnected with them via social media.
This is so sad... Because he completely reverted back to his old self. He became too self-aware and ultimately Cory hated himself for no good reason. He absolutely hated himself.
Jennifer Brigitte tbhbi know this feeling a lot and wanted to hurt myself than you think about all the people who supported you and never left me. I was a awful person in the past and still some guilt through it now. Sometimes you sit back and go "wtf is wrong with me? I have a job and full life to live!"
From this interview I sensed he was clean every since he got into acting and had a dream to follow. I think what triggered him back into that lifestyle was when he shot his last film "MaCanick" or however you spell it. He had to 'become' his younger self and get into that character he's left behind. He relived his past and and the aiction that had been dormant took over again. Someone recently told me that when you relapse, it's not like starting over, you start where you left off.
Actually it all started after glee season 3 ended, he was sober for a very long time but at the season 3 wrap party with the rest of the cast he said he wanted to drink normally like his other cast mates so they all thought it was okay, but he just got back being an addict (which is why he lost so much weight during season 4). Which is why they feel kinda guilty for his death.
deep within Cory..he has troubles bugging him for a long time..and since he grew up without a father to guide him, he was forced to deal with the harsh realities of life alone and ended up with the wrong people..he wasn't used telling people what he really feels or what he really thinks, or talk about his real pains that created a deep scar in his heart..and growing up without any person he can be honest about his struggles led to him keeping everything bottled up inside..
I was watching this video a day before he died. I told my friend that he was pretty cute. A day later, she told me it was on the news that "that guy you were watching on youtube, he died today". I thought she was joking. Now I'm watching Glee and turning out to be a big fan. This really sucks. RIP Cory
Even with all the negative, I always tend to see the good in people. After watching this. All I can think is "What an extremely intelligent and kind hearted man he was. So much good to offer the world. "Celebrities" with Cory's heart and mind are truly a rare find." Something about him as a "person". The way he spoke, his whole aura. WOW! You just can't get anymore "real" than that. Look beyond the "druggie", dig a little deeper, you will see what used to be one hell of an inspiring human being.
This was a great interview. I love how George doesn't hold back and asks the questions that people want to know. I think the bast part was how cory said the most Canadian thing he does in Hollywood :-)
he's such a sweetheart, bright bright future ahead but unfortunately, heaven needs a hero and God chose him. at least he's at a better place now. rip cory we really really miss you
I cried very hard when I found out about his death last night. I couldn't sleep at all. He was a magnificent man and I still can't accept that he isn't here anymore. Rest in peace, Cory. We love you.
RIP Cory. I'm still in disbelief over the news of his death. Despite his issues with substance abuse, he always appeared confident, composed, and healthy in front of the camera and I think this is why his death came as such a shock everyone. Hollywood normalizes substance abuse and it's easy to forget the real seriousness of addiction, along with its consequences. Rest in Peace Cory, you will be missed around the world.
Such a nice person, honestly so down to earth. Maybe all these problems he thought he was dealing with he wasn't..it just seemed so perfect, he seemed perfect. Bless his heart, I hope where ever he is now he is at peace .. x
Cory is so wise...I found my dad on Facebook at about 12-13 years old. I'm 16 now, and because of my self-esteem I don't want him to see me..and what he said about "Parents are people too, they make mistakes" and that he doesn't want a history of shutting doors on people..that's what I am doing..Thanks Cory for giving me a new perspective. R.I.P
I know from experience, insecurities run way deep. I always felt I never fit in didn't belong and tried to be like other people. I've come a long wa, but those feelings still rear their ugly head, and full force at times. It was obvious everyone on the set looked up to Cory and he def was part of the family. But I wonder if their were times he didn't feel he belonged, that he still felt he didn't fit in despite his surroundings. I agree, inside hes still that little kid still longing to be loved
I had followed news of his untimely and sad passing..his pure honesty and very kind heart,humble character and happy disposition despite everything makes it more hard to deal with it..people who treats him now as "wasted" well, you should be thankful if you grew up in a good family coz cory didn't.. when he bacame famous everyone wants him for a friend coz he's generous,like Finn, he's naive..he wants love and takes whatever he can find, notice how he loves getting hugs instead of handshakes?
“I’m just always trying to do the next right thing” oh Cory how we miss you! Still can’t believe he’s been gone ten years. The things he could have done. It’s so sad he’s not here anymore.
I liked your comment about him knowing in his heart he was living on borrowed time and that' why life and love and friends was so important to him. I feel sick when I think of what he went through in that hotel room. Someone told me angels are with you at yoiur time of death, so that gives me hope. such a sad loss.
Cory's answers were great but the truth is that he lost his life. I guess you can never measure success by any degree without the knowledge that one can still make mistakes that cost them their life. RIP Cory Montieth. You're still shining down on us and pointing the way not to go!
My respect for Cory Monteith had grown leaps and leaps during these 3 years. I love that he found his way out of the hard side of his young life becoming a compassionate and open man, a loving human being.
That is exactly why I agree with you and feel the way I do. I also am directly affected and dealing with someone in my family who has an addiction. It's very difficult. I can't even begin to imagine what Cory's family is going through since he passed. I hope to god, it doesn't turn out this way for what I am dealing with.
to think, Cory bid life farewell alone in his room..felt like, well, he went through all the hardships alone, tried to survive alone, then died alone..it came full circle..he's so young. maybe in his heart he knew he was living on borrowed time explains why he wants everyone to be happy all the time..not a day wasted on moping..sadly he can't be replaced, hope people will watch glee tribute it's gonna flood tears..but it will be worth it..at least now he's done struggling,done pretending he's ok
I am from Victoria, and have known Cory... This interview breaks my heat... He will be so missed. I thank him for representing his home town of Vic, and loving his Canadian roots. Thank you Cory, for being so humble, and being so real. I am so sad that the past (and whatever was happening in your present) was so overwhelming that you needed to "self medicate"...You were a brilliant, proudly Canadian man who will be missed! Thank you for "talking about Canada at every opportunity!"....
from this interview, it would seem fair to say in spite of his father reaching out (so much later) the absence of his father from all those years hurt so bad it killed him. for all those who have a story like this, have some compassion.
Yeah watching this feels like he's still here! I couldn't believe it for a while (haven't thought about it as much the past week)...it kept feeling like he was gonna come back.
his family is responsible for him, not his friends..Lea came to his life later he was already in deep with his struggles..they keep saying they all tried to help him, but did they really put enough effort? if they did, Cory would still be alive.Cory may look like an adult but deep inside him he's still a kid who still feels he has no place to belong..you can't just tell a guy with his problem, 'dude, get some help, or check in rehab' like that simple..then say"we did everything to help him"
its so easy for him to admit his mistakes in the past and tell it to the whole world...such a good man...even if i don't know him personally i still admire him the way that i admired him since the first time that i saw him on glee..he is such a nice person...maybe he died because of drugs at other looks it as the worst way..and i don't care actually his fans don't care..we still remember him as a sweet talented man..he will be missed..and i am sure of that..i love you cory...nothing has change..
His dad sure wanted to be his friend after he became famous, and wanted attention afterwards. Hard to believe a genuinely sweet and caring person like Cory is related to that man. He was a 'huggy' person, and he also gave out the kind of love he himself was seeking.
I only came across this recently, but I think this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. Seems like an obvious thing to say but the interviewer talked to Cory like a real person. He wasn’t JUST Finn Hudson, he wasn’t JUST Lea Michele’s possible boyfriend, he wasn’t JUST some famous heartthrob. He was Cory Monteith, a talented actor with substance and a story that we wanted to hear. I’m so glad this is something we get to remember him by. Wish I could say thank you to whoever made this happen.
This made me tear up... Cory was definitely an inspiration. His death is the only celebrity death to have such a profound effect on me. 3 weeks later, I'm still crying and grieving over him despite not having known him at all.
Wow. This is the first I’ve seen this since it aired and it’s heartbreaking to watch him talk about how being sober was easy for him knowing what happened to him not even two years later
oh god, i dont think ill ever get used to the fact that he's gone... what an incredible and inspiring person, you could just tell that there's only good intentions behind those eyes RIP Cory
My little sister is in LOVE with Glee but she just started watching it like 5 weeks ago and found out he died.. she really misses him and wishes that he could have started over. And she would not stop talking about him. R.I.P Cory Monteith:(
you say that because of your lack off experience drugs are not him he is an amazing human being.. He just happened to get addicted and that is a hard thing to get clean from and he is a huge inspiration to be able to get over that and he is a huge inspiration to get his life to that point...I THINK HE IS MORE OF AN INSPIRATION THAN MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN TODAY'S SOCIETY
Man he was such a loved person, and he just got stuck up in such a bad situation. He couldn't stop himself and now we can only keep memories until we join him once again when we pass away. All my condolences go to him, his family and friends and girlfriend Lea. How much she must be going through right now. R.I.P :'(

He was the sweetest man ever...He still is and forever will be.
People forget that the only reason the overdose proved to be fatal for Cory is his body had no tolerance for it since being in rehab flushed his system of the chemicals. Plus, the fact he did both heroin and alcohol depressed his respiratory system preventing him from breathing. If he just drank or did heroin alone, a high chance he'd be alive (possibly another stint in rehab). He seemed to be a lovely person who tried to do his best to be happy. Will miss his talents. ❤
This is 100% true. Thank you for saying this. It's part of what makes this so tragic.
💯
*Cory really seemed like such* *a* *_sweet_* *person*
A _Big Loss_ to the world ✨
Also there are legal drugs that can be used to mitigate opioid detox, relapse and overdose that aren’t administered by most rehab facilities due to fear of liability and other random costs.
There were a host of ways the system failed to adequately treat and prevent exactly what ended up happening.
It was completely tragic and unnecessary and the system is responsible for many fatalities and opioid addicts falling through the cracks.
Plus now they found out it was spiked
@@heathervelasco5159 Noo so that meant some wanted him to die
when they started talking about cutting his character out on glee and cory being curious to how they would remove his character wow……. that hit me so hard
"I don't want to look back on my life and have a history of shutting doors on people" This gave me the chills, what a good guy
i miss him so much. He was such a beautiful person. Life isn't fair. I want him back more than anything :(
Cindy Webber I still think about him a lot. I really miss him and Finn.
It's his fault for abusing drugs and alcohol, I am not saying that his death wasn't sad because any death is sad. Especially if this person was close to you in some way of form.

@Tootie Ramsey What's the point asking why I left it? Concrete on yourself.
NoX# it’s hard to get off the stuff when you’re addicted or where addicted, on top of that he’s in the limelight, i can’t imagine the pressure he felt or what was going through his head.
same. 2021 now. still miss him every single day
2019 and I still can't stop crying whenever I watch any Cory's video. He was an awesome guy. R.I.P my idol, Cory!
I never met Cory Monteith in person, I just watched him through that magical box called t.v. and I instantly fell in love with his character (Finn). Seeing him and hearing him in interviews and all that made him all that more real. More lovable, flaws and all. I hate to imagine that warm lovable person in a room alone moments away from his death. HOW!? WHY?? So many questions and no answers. I as a fan feel so broken hearted, for him and for his family and Lea. R.I.P CORY MONTEITH. uwillbmissed.
Cory is such a spectacular and giving human being. He is greatly missed :)
He was such an amazing person.
He shed light on who he was with no regrets but a deep feeling of just doing the right thing.
What strikes me about this is the seriousness. Yes, there's a few laughs, but there's no gushing about "ohmygod I love you in "Glee" and I think you're so handsome and ARE YOU DATING LEA MICHELE OR NOT??" It's real conversation, and I like that. There should be more talkshows like this. (at least in Norway. Sheesh, we have none!)
Well said!
Did i heard Norway? Norwegian too! :D
"I'll stay as long as they'll have me" some reason that quote gets to me.
Me too
Crazy he was almost 30 in this. Man was baby faced. He was from my hometown too.
I believe Cory was a fundamentally good person - who despite a difficult childhood and some powerful inner demons, really fought hard everyday to say and do the right thing. His involvement in charity work and incredible kindness and humor with fans, is a true testament to the outstanding person Cory was. I think the disparity between his clean cut public image and his very dark reality took a toll on him - it's incredibly sad that he wasn't able to find the middle ground.
He had such a contagious smile
i cant stop noticing how he keeps looking the interviewer directly into his eyes. im not sure what this means but i feel like it shows hes a great listener and tried hard to respond the best to the questions given
This shows an entirely different side of the Cory I've seen in interviews. Dude is a heartbreaker! Gives a woman a reason to dream :)
WOW. what an amazing interview. not only cory, but the interviewer as well, so natural, so relaxed. just letting the conversation flow, not something you see very often in other interviews..!
He's smile is so amazing :')
Him & glee inspired me to be more confident in my singing
It's so sad and it makes me cry that he's gone:(
Rip Cory montieth
This is a very good interview. Cory has so much depth as a person, very level-headed, intelligent and grounded. He was so Canadian- the epitome of a real Canadian man. What a waste. We lost a great guy. Rest in peace Cory.
He has such a big heart and he is so humble. We all have our struggles and challenges in life and sometimes they get the best of us.

I wish I could have met him- he was my hero :(
JustPlainJoel! Me too
I would read the book about Cory
I would like that we don't forget him, ever!
I'm French and I didn't know a word about Glee until two weeks ago. I knew Cory was dead but I didn't even know how. And then I watched the first three seasons of Glee, and found out about Cory, and can't stop crying for the last few days.

he's such a sweetheart, bright bright future ahead but unfortunately, heaven needs a hero and God chose him. at least he's at a better place now. rip cory we really really miss you
I cried very hard when I found out about his death last night. I couldn't sleep at all. He was a magnificent man and I still can't accept that he isn't here anymore. Rest in peace, Cory. We love you.
7 yrs later and still loving Cory! :D
Unconditional forever and beyond Love ❤️ 🕊
"The NOW is amazing" and this is when I've started crying
He was truly loved by so many (including millions of fans), but I wonder if he felt undeserving of that love, which is so sad.
R.I.P I will never forget the joy and inspiration he brought to my life
such a loss. its been nearly three years and im still so upset.
Aww such a great guy!! Miss you Cory
I can hardly watch this interview knowing how he died and now watching this he seemed like he had it all together. We all miss you Cory, R. I. P ❤️
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen of anyone.
Great interview. So much insight.
RIP Cory. I'm still in disbelief over the news of his death. Despite his issues with substance abuse, he always appeared confident, composed, and healthy in front of the camera and I think this is why his death came as such a shock everyone. Hollywood normalizes substance abuse and it's easy to forget the real seriousness of addiction, along with its consequences. Rest in Peace Cory, you will be missed around the world.
Such a nice person, honestly so down to earth. Maybe all these problems he thought he was dealing with he wasn't..it just seemed so perfect, he seemed perfect. Bless his heart, I hope where ever he is now he is at peace .. x
Cory is so wise...I found my dad on Facebook at about 12-13 years old. I'm 16 now, and because of my self-esteem I don't want him to see me..and what he said about "Parents are people too, they make mistakes" and that he doesn't want a history of shutting doors on people..that's what I am doing..Thanks Cory for giving me a new perspective. R.I.P
I know from experience, insecurities run way deep. I always felt I never fit in didn't belong and tried to be like other people. I've come a long wa, but those feelings still rear their ugly head, and full force at times. It was obvious everyone on the set looked up to Cory and he def was part of the family. But I wonder if their were times he didn't feel he belonged, that he still felt he didn't fit in despite his surroundings. I agree, inside hes still that little kid still longing to be loved
5 years. Miss you so damn much, Cory.
I had followed news of his untimely and sad passing..his pure honesty and very kind heart,humble character and happy disposition despite everything makes it more hard to deal with it..people who treats him now as "wasted" well, you should be thankful if you grew up in a good family coz cory didn't.. when he bacame famous everyone wants him for a friend coz he's generous,like Finn, he's naive..he wants love and takes whatever he can find, notice how he loves getting hugs instead of handshakes?
“I’m just always trying to do the next right thing” oh Cory how we miss you! Still can’t believe he’s been gone ten years. The things he could have done. It’s so sad he’s not here anymore.
I agree with you Renny Kim...I have never been so affected by a celebrity death...I am still mourning over Cory :(
I liked your comment about him knowing in his heart he was living on borrowed time and that' why life and love and friends was so important to him. I feel sick when I think of what he went through in that hotel room. Someone told me angels are with you at yoiur time of death, so that gives me hope. such a sad loss.
Its sad he lived a short life 😭
An amazing life but short, his happiness was contagious
a friend showed me this and said he actually struggled with his own self image that would be surprising for good looking people to do that
Cory's answers were great but the truth is that he lost his life. I guess you can never measure success by any degree without the knowledge that one can still make mistakes that cost them their life. RIP Cory Montieth. You're still shining down on us and pointing the way not to go!
My respect for Cory Monteith had grown leaps and leaps during these 3 years. I love that he found his way out of the hard side of his young life becoming a compassionate and open man, a loving human being.
lol @ 12:00 when he said Miley Cyrus. I can just imagine him singing along to wrecking ball XD
He died before wrecking ball was made :/ I bet he would have dissed it and a half
That is exactly why I agree with you and feel the way I do. I also am directly affected and dealing with someone in my family who has an addiction. It's very difficult. I can't even begin to imagine what Cory's family is going through since he passed. I hope to god, it doesn't turn out this way for what I am dealing with.
to think, Cory bid life farewell alone in his room..felt like, well, he went through all the hardships alone, tried to survive alone, then died alone..it came full circle..he's so young. maybe in his heart he knew he was living on borrowed time explains why he wants everyone to be happy all the time..not a day wasted on moping..sadly he can't be replaced, hope people will watch glee tribute it's gonna flood tears..but it will be worth it..at least now he's done struggling,done pretending he's ok
I am from Victoria, and have known Cory... This interview breaks my heat... He will be so missed. I thank him for representing his home town of Vic, and loving his Canadian roots. Thank you Cory, for being so humble, and being so real. I am so sad that the past (and whatever was happening in your present) was so overwhelming that you needed to "self medicate"...You were a brilliant, proudly Canadian man who will be missed! Thank you for "talking about Canada at every opportunity!"....
Rest in Peace!! Your interviews give me inspiration
I met Cory once. He is the most genuine person I think I've ever met. He's fabulous.
from this interview, it would seem fair to say in spite of his father reaching out (so much later) the absence of his father from all those years hurt so bad it killed him. for all those who have a story like this, have some compassion.
Yeah watching this feels like he's still here! I couldn't believe it for a while (haven't thought about it as much the past week)...it kept feeling like he was gonna come back.
his family is responsible for him, not his friends..Lea came to his life later he was already in deep with his struggles..they keep saying they all tried to help him, but did they really put enough effort? if they did, Cory would still be alive.Cory may look like an adult but deep inside him he's still a kid who still feels he has no place to belong..you can't just tell a guy with his problem, 'dude, get some help, or check in rehab' like that simple..then say"we did everything to help him"
its so easy for him to admit his mistakes in the past and tell it to the whole world...such a good man...even if i don't know him personally i still admire him the way that i admired him since the first time that i saw him on glee..he is such a nice person...maybe he died because of drugs at other looks it as the worst way..and i don't care actually his fans don't care..we still remember him as a sweet talented man..he will be missed..and i am sure of that..i love you cory...nothing has change..
I love Cory Monteith. And just by him doing what he did by coming clean about everything he did, made him even more amazing.He is an awesome person
such a deep interview. i feel like he just had a therapy session, or he just sorted out his life
I love you brother no matter what, I miss you Cory
I love you Cory. I really do.
His dad sure wanted to be his friend after he became famous, and wanted attention afterwards. Hard to believe a genuinely sweet and caring person like Cory is related to that man. He was a 'huggy' person, and he also gave out the kind of love he himself was seeking.
I only came across this recently, but I think this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. Seems like an obvious thing to say but the interviewer talked to Cory like a real person. He wasn’t JUST Finn Hudson, he wasn’t JUST Lea Michele’s possible boyfriend, he wasn’t JUST some famous heartthrob. He was Cory Monteith, a talented actor with substance and a story that we wanted to hear. I’m so glad this is something we get to remember him by. Wish I could say thank you to whoever made this happen.
This made me tear up... Cory was definitely an inspiration. His death is the only celebrity death to have such a profound effect on me. 3 weeks later, I'm still crying and grieving over him despite not having known him at all.
He said "you Know" all the time ^^
Brilliant interview. Love it.
I wish you well with your family member. Addiction is very heartbreaking indeed.
so inspirational, i miss him.
I just love you Cory
Such a big inspiration for so many people. Rest in peace Cory.
this interview, is so good and so so tragic
Good suggestion ! But it is too hard for me to accomplish. Whenever I see his so alive, my heart hurts severely.
Inspiring! Being real, a big deal. Love it. I want to go out there with no fear.
It's still crazy to me that he's gone. Coming up 4 years, and it still doesn't seem real.
courknob a
Wow. This is the first I’ve seen this since it aired and it’s heartbreaking to watch him talk about how being sober was easy for him knowing what happened to him not even two years later
oh god, i dont think ill ever get used to the fact that he's gone... what an incredible and inspiring person, you could just tell that there's only good intentions behind those eyes RIP Cory
My little sister is in LOVE with Glee but she just started watching it like 5 weeks ago and found out he died.. she really misses him and wishes that he could have started over. And she would not stop talking about him. R.I.P Cory Monteith:(
exactly :( it's just really tragic he never deserved to die, he was trying so hard to get better :( ♥
Looking at this I can't believe he is gone!!!! Cory was a very humble person. Miss seeing him on screen!!!!!
My heart is broken, so sad to see him go. RIP Cory.
George is a great interviewer!
you say that because of your lack off experience drugs are not him he is an amazing human being.. He just happened to get addicted and that is a hard thing to get clean from and he is a huge inspiration to be able to get over that and he is a huge inspiration to get his life to that point...I THINK HE IS MORE OF AN INSPIRATION THAN MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN TODAY'S SOCIETY
Omg I can't believe this!!! Sooooo sad right now!!!!
Man he was such a loved person, and he just got stuck up in such a bad situation. He couldn't stop himself and now we can only keep memories until we join him once again when we pass away. All my condolences go to him, his family and friends and girlfriend Lea. How much she must be going through right now. R.I.P :'(
Awrrh what a beautiful human being, rip cory I love you so much, another amazing souls taken
the acting world will never be the same miss you cory x
wow. never would have known he was so.. intelligent. I totally bought in to the Finn Hudson character. I love the real Cory SO much more.
