2007 alex: join a circus and be a juggle in my spare time 2016 alex: (when asked about what his next agenda may be) cirque du soileil, not a bad juggler He is still there my friends, still very much there.
Dude was 19 when he wrote that masterpiece that Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. It's unbelievable because it sounds great and is a lyrically brilliant album.
Ali agcabay actually he is. He’s no longer the shy boy. He’s still reserved and introverted but he has acquired a stage personality that allows him to perform and face the press without retreating into himself. He’s not a 17 yo boy anymore
@@bizbitmişizabi i think he just puts on a character for the stage so it's more comfortable for him since he's said before he's not really a born performer. i kinda get the impression that if he could have his success while staying in the studio he would but like he's gotta do what it takes i guess lol
such a charming, poetic sweetheart. i just wanted to hug him when he said he was very shy. it may not be as obvious now, but he's still quite shy, but he just knows how to hide it better. i wish he didn't have to.
This Alex was absolutely wonderful. And full offense, so is the “current” Alex. People change, it’s natural. I don’t think it’s arrogance, but perhaps confidence. Alex knows what he is doing, he’s not this same kid who has been introduced to the cusps of “fame.”
"I always get happy when the sun's out shining. I've always had a thing about that. I hate it when it's like raining and that, but when the sun's out I can't help but be smiling." That was legit the cutest thing he's ever said... .
I’ll always love this man. He’s the sweetest thing in this world. Maybe i’ts a bit shoking when you find him so shy on the interviews, but when you listen to his songs and lyrics you just... Wow. He’s so expressive. He’s art.
I realized recently that even back then he was much more wiser and stronger person than his appearance suggested. Both character wise and in terms of dealing with all the circus surrounding the band. Key sign of a great artist and human being.
'yes alex it's warm, but not that warm' i adore that part... he's adorable and cute just because he's not trying to be so.... i hope he'll always keep this natural side of his.
why would anyone watch this any comment that he is stoned...he's polite, and thoughtful, and tries to be a bit funny. he is soooo wonderful and freakin adorable. those big, sexy eyes of his. he's my favorite man of all time and a legend of a songwriter and musician. ALEX YOU ARE AMAZING AND THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC. (and alexa is a sweetie - they are perfect for each other)
In this interview I love the most that he shows us a bit of his natural, nice personality. You've mentioned when he's on picking up the cards.. he looks so excited like a kid he is adorable :D People could be proud of having musicians like Alex in this world now... because the Arctics and of course The Last Shadow Puppets are convincingly ace.
I can understand him completely... then again, I come from Yorkshire. But what a cutie, hard to imagine that this is the same Alex Turner that we have now in 2015! So precious. :*
Of course he's not so humble anymore, it's been over 6 years since girls started wailing over him. Everyone changes as they grow, it would be a bit odd for him to be almost 30 and still acting like this.
immaturegirl yeah. I mean he's 32 now and I feel like this little kid is just the sweetest, albeit being only three years older than he is on this interview😅
I agree with you. I don't find him good-looking or attractive in a fysical way, but his intelligence, music and talent attracts me in a way that I would love to meet him or interview him. I've got a lot of respect for the man.
Everyone needs to shut the fuck up about him seeming "arrogant" now. This was years ago, when they just started out as a band. Obviously with more success, he's gonna mature and be more proud of their work. He doesn't HAVE to stay a shy little humble guy, he's allowed to be proud of all their success. So just shutup and enjoy how fucking adorable he is in this interview, okay?
I think he is a bit arrogant. Im not saying we should all hate him for that. I think being arrogant is not a good thing but if he is, theres nothing we can do about it, you know. He's speech at the brits was horrible to be really honest but we dont even know the guy, maybe it was a joke. So no one actually knows if he's arrogant or not. He seems to be but again, if he is, there isnt much we can do.
It’s hard to believe that he was 22 here.. he looks 16/17! I’m watching this in 2021 and this video was 13 years ago so 2021-13= 2008. Alex is currently 35 so 35 - 13 = 22... Woah. He shall be handsome forever tho :)
It's so nice to come back to see this after it's been such a while since the first time. It's crazy how much Alex has grown up! So humble and so talented :')
I really like this alex, I can actually relate with him in some way. Can’t put my finger on what exactly. I guess it’s just that he feels so down to Earth y’know.
How i wish he would give another interview like this now, just talking about trivial stuff, just to see how much has he actually changed.... the thing he says he'll never do again-about the vest- he's been doing it in the last concerts...lol
I really want to know what kind teenager he was , cuz still i don't think he talking about himself too much ; he was so soft and so quite and it's make him a mystery for me/us ; i still want to know what it was his fav movie or what makes him feel happy ;
its actually not his personality, its just being worn out, i dont know if you have any idea how tough and tiring it is to travel every day, country to country, playing gigs till 1 am and getting up at 6 to get to the next gig.. its unreal, im not surprised he seems so tired
Back then, Arctic Monkeys had a similar level of success as Oasis with their first two albums. But unlike Oasis, they were not "instant" rock stars. They came across as raw and naive and unprepared for rock star life. Alex didn't have that much star quality or charisma or sexiness... but look at him now!
"i keep trying to change me haircut" aahhhh so that's why
I just want to have deep conversations with young alex rn lol
Fetus Alex was the purest thing in existence
peridot
Agree totaly
😋🥰😍
You can tell he's just an emotionally intelligent and thoughtful kid. Poetry from the streets of Sheffield he just gets how to express life.
Interviewer: were you sure of yourself?
Alex: Short? Yes I was quite short
"I've always been quite short"
and smol
until he wasn't anymore :(
SO CUTE AHHH
this is unintentional ASMR
he talks so softly, my volume has to be almost all the way up LITTLE ALEX

Non-verbatim btw. Just trying to prove a point. Anyway the interview was this june 6th i think? Iheartradio
twinkle starchild i love this comment so much
Dude was 19 when he wrote that masterpiece that Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. It's unbelievable because it sounds great and is a lyrically brilliant album.
He still had most of those songs written in 2004, they were playing gigs in 2003 already
@@biohazard9503 i think he means the entire album
@@sophia-um6wu yeah, and all of the album was written in 2004-2005
@@biohazard9503 im aware 🙄
@@biohazard9503
View from The Afternoon was written by very late 2005, around October or November, Alex was 19 when he wrote that one.
He's poetic even in the way he speaks! Why can't there be more men like that?!
forreal :’) hes truly one of a kind
when he said he doesn’t have the physique for a vest i SOBBED, and then even MORE when he said he’ll work on his arms oh lord he’s too cute
And then not that long later like a few years he’s wearing vests at concerts and has 🍃muscles🍃
my heart in that clip uhh
“I’m in a vest” -library pictures
Unpopular opinion but I don’t think he’s become arrogant at all. He’s very confident now.
He is not confident. He is just trying to look confident and it's sooo cringy...
@@bizbitmişizabi care to elaborate?
And confidence is essential in life tbh
Ali agcabay actually he is. He’s no longer the shy boy. He’s still reserved and introverted but he has acquired a stage personality that allows him to perform and face the press without retreating into himself. He’s not a 17 yo boy anymore

And being confident is actually very important, there's a difference between confidence and arrogance.
He is not confident at all, haven't you saw his interviews nowadays? He is just confident on stage
@@superlivelyrics2463he’s confident, just bc he stutters doesn’t mean he’s not smh
You mean he's genuine? Lol. He is most definitely a confident man.
"I always get happy when the sun's out shining. I've always had a thing about that. I hate it when it's like raining and that, but when the sun's out I can't help but be smiling."
That was legit the cutest thing he's ever said... .
That's why he left rainy Sheffield for sunny L.A.
They said it changes when the sun goes down :/
alex: still sharing me mum's car
alex's mum: get out of me car
LOL
Broom broom
IM LMAOOO
I’ll always love this man. He’s the sweetest thing in this world. Maybe i’ts a bit shoking when you find him so shy on the interviews, but when you listen to his songs and lyrics you just... Wow. He’s so expressive. He’s art.
Definitely, what should we do to have this piece of art in our world
He seems so gentle in real life but his singing is extremely powerful
this interview is so cute
He looks so innocent ♡
"Me Friends" So Precious
"yes Alex it was warm but it wasn't that warm you could have put on a t-shirt" lol I luv him so much
I realized recently that even back then he was much more wiser and stronger person than his appearance suggested. Both character wise and in terms of dealing with all the circus surrounding the band. Key sign of a great artist and human being.
"I don't have the figure for a vest" lol
not me obssessing over interviews from before i was born
same mate
just one year later i was born bestie
@@irahh literally same and i just found them less then a month ago and I'm obsessing-
You're not special sweetie
'yes alex it's warm, but not that warm'
i adore that part...
he's adorable and cute just because he's not trying to be so....
i hope he'll always keep this natural side of his.

Hi, this is to you remember
Omg they assume Alex is stone since forever...
:0
oh little did they know...

People could be proud of having musicians like Alex in this world now... because the Arctics and of course The Last Shadow Puppets are convincingly ace.
It’s 2021 and I’m still watching this and crying. God he’s so genuine and cute
2023 : ) and thank you genuine describes him perfectly.
10:16 'I dont think id do that again' - lies but i love it anyway
This guy made one of the most successful albums in British history when he was like 17
the interview is so quite and peaceful and Alex's voice is so soothing and there's brianstorm playing at the start and end of it tf
I love the contrast between the brianstorm song and the sweetness with which he speaks in the interview.
Probably the cutest interview I've ever seen, I love his personality and that he loves cake as well, aw what a sweetheart :')
He’s so cute and shy and I’m so soft 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 he cant even look in the camera 😭😭a baby
His little “no, not at all” @ 3:36 is SO cute and endearing
A young & seemingly innocent Alex... I like his shyness. It's endearing*
I can understand him completely... then again, I come from Yorkshire.
But what a cutie, hard to imagine that this is the same Alex Turner that we have now in 2015! So precious. :*
Charlotte Pearson I'm a Dubliner and I understand him
6:42 that “I dunno” was so cute I’m dead
HES SO SWEEEEEEEET we dont deserve him :'(
Of course he's not so humble anymore, it's been over 6 years since girls started wailing over him. Everyone changes as they grow, it would be a bit odd for him to be almost 30 and still acting like this.
he’s 35 now and his latest interviews give us fetus alex vibes
@@c2938a What's he's latest interview? Can you tell me the name or give me the link please?
love his obsession with the circus, he's always talking about juggling or doing the trapeze. It's visible in his lyrics too btw.
Such a sweet kid...
immaturegirl yeah. I mean he's 32 now and I feel like this little kid is just the sweetest, albeit being only three years older than he is on this interview😅
Seeing this interview came out 15 years ago is INSANE
Oh god, He's so adorable
Would love to see al do this exact same interview now! Be great to hear how his perceptions have changed...
I agree with you. I don't find him good-looking or attractive in a fysical way, but his intelligence, music and talent attracts me in a way that I would love to meet him or interview him. I've got a lot of respect for the man.
Definitely my favourite Alex turner interview
Amazing, humble, sweet, shy, honest. Adorable. He’s still the same today + sexy af.
Young Alex Turner literally kills me!

Obviously with more success, he's gonna mature and be more proud of their work. He doesn't HAVE to stay a shy little humble guy, he's allowed to be proud of all their success.

i don't blame him. I would have been an arrogant fuck from the beginning.
I think he is a bit arrogant. Im not saying we should all hate him for that. I think being arrogant is not a good thing but if he is, theres nothing we can do about it, you know. He's speech at the brits was horrible to be really honest but we dont even know the guy, maybe it was a joke. So no one actually knows if he's arrogant or not. He seems to be but again, if he is, there isnt much we can do.
Maze Runner i thought his speech was brilliant.
Maze Runner Historically they've never taken the Brits seriously, so I would take it as a joke, as dickish as it seemed.
Ok. Someone on the internet has told me to shut the fuck because we have different opinions.
Better do it.
this is the sweetest video i've ever seen
my face hurts so much from smiling
he’s so pure it makes me really upset idk why 😭😭😭😭i love him sm really
Baby Alex is so adorable🥺
It’s hard to believe that he was 22 here.. he looks 16/17! I’m watching this in 2021 and this video was 13 years ago so 2021-13= 2008. Alex is currently 35 so 35 - 13 = 22... Woah. He shall be handsome forever tho :)
he was 21
He’s born in 1986 this interview was in 2007 so he’s 21
This warms my heart so much :'D
This interviewer seems like such a sweet person:) bonus point for you lovely Dutch people :) greetings from Hungary lol
"I'm in a vest..."
Is that the start of library pictures? 😂
* explosive drumming *
back when we used to understand him in interviews :D
you can understand this?? lol

I've been all this interview with a smile on me face
This came out when I was a baby and my mum watched it cos she's fucking obsessed with arctic monkeys...like me...
I really like this alex, I can actually relate with him in some way. Can’t put my finger on what exactly. I guess it’s just that he feels so down to Earth y’know.
I love how he kind of fades out his voice as he reaches the end of his answer, I realized I do this a lot too but obviously it's not as cute
How i wish he would give another interview like this now, just talking about trivial stuff, just to see how much has he actually changed....
the thing he says he'll never do again-about the vest- he's been doing it in the last concerts...lol

A decade old today.

he said he is shy that is so cute!
Ahh Alex is so sweet here! Aww he was sooo cute back then!
aaaah he is so cute back then!!
He'd be a perfect Harry potter character.
My thoughts exactly
aw hes so timid here :')
just waiting to see him like this again. maybe at one point we reach to the end of those changes and the cycle starts from beginning.
He's still genuine. He's just not a child anymore. Everyone matures. He's still the same
I love his shy smile it makes me uwu
