I wish there were more people in the world like Leif Garrett. For someone so young to be so kind, charming, intelligent, genuine, generous and to have a great sense of humor is extremely rare. It's unfortunate that he was led in the wrong direction and taken advance of and used and then thrown out into the world to deal with life when they were done with him. He didn't deserve that. He deserved love and care. I know his mom really loved him and that she too was naive to what was happening, but I feel like he was just abandoned. Then the horrible accident that changed everything. The positive thing is that he is still alive today and he seems to have conquored the disease of addiction, wrote his story and shared it with all of us. He is STILL that warm, charming and kind person. He was born with that. He is a special individual and if only there were more people like him in this world, things wouldn't be so sad. I love you Leif. Since I was about 9 years old, I've rooted for you and always wondered how you're doing.
Leif started to get into this interview from about 1:28 onwards. You can see he got Norman's humour and started to enjoy himself. A credit to him, as so many people just didn't know how to react to these satirical interviews.
@@levinmoser4001 that's where his heart and soul are. He didn't want to do Pop anymore and got his own band together after his Teen years. He's been playing Rock and Roll ever since. These truly were his Golden Years and the Producers were right about the Songs and Look etc. I still love a few of his Hits. They've stood the test of time. I don't really care for the Rock but Google it and see what you think ? Definitely talented and exceptionally handsome for such a young Boy.
I can relate to this as Norman Gunston came from Wollongong, a steel city which is only down-the-mountain from where I live, and the way Leif just kept smiling, he didn't know what to say, this video is treasure...
What a great video. I had never seen this interview. Leif seems so sweet and like a kid here. He has such a great smile. His whole face lights up when he smiles. Thanks for posting. This one is definitely one of my favorite videos of Leif.
Thank you so much for posting this as I had never seen it before, but fell in love with Leif when Three for the Road came on in 1975, I was ten and a fan ever since.
That was brilliant! One of the better Norman Gunston interviews I've ever seen - not counting the infamous Sally Struthers one. Leif seems to have really got into the spirit of the thing.
He reminds me of a 1970s DiCaprio! I mean they are sooo similar with them being major heartthrobs; pretty blue-eyed, blond boys; starting off in the Hollywood business at a young age; are close to their moms; are single and childless; are scorpios (their birthdays are 3 days apart!--wow!!); similar personalities; have the same sort of smile and life; are polite during interviews; unfortunately, have aged like milk (just being honest here); were born and raised in LA; their names start with the letter "L"!; are more into show business rather than school...Wow!!
Wow, thanks for this! I've never seen it. What country was this? I wish the interview was longer. Leif has always been beautiful on the outside and inside.
OMG!! Leif is so sweetly endearing here! You just wanna hug him. Actually, he's like a potato chip; you can't hug him just once! Love the humor in this, made me laugh!! Thanks soooo much for sharing!!
"They're good fun but, when you get sick of the songs, you know, they're good fun coz you can stick your finger through the hole and everything eh." :D
LOL @ 2:02. Leif i hope you had a good time last night on Hollywood Idol Contest @ Platinum Live Theater;Best wishes to you!!Wish i could watch you on Bio Channel tonight but don't have it on my local cable.
@DA90027 Aha! I found you here, too! Bitter much? Leif wasn't developed as a singer, that's no secret....but his voice has evolved beautifully over the years....and in his teen heyday he could definitely out-sing today's premiere auto-tuned poptart (J.B.) who can only hope for a fraction as many hits on his Y/tube videos 30 years from now. And did I not say that Leif will prevail? Careful....you'll be eating your own words one of these days. : )
Leif Garrett is the go-to case for anyone who is born with good looks. Make your money as fast as you can because when your looks fade with time, fame finishes just as quickly.
his managers ripped him off for millions and he and his mom were to innocent to realise what was happening, mind you he blew quite a lot as well, on the high life
Norman Gunston was a satirical TV character performed by Australian actor and comedian Garry McDonald. Norman Gunston was primarily well known in his native Australia, and to a lesser extent, the United States during the mid to late 1970s. He was the only Gold Logie winning fictional character on Australian television, with McDonald collecting the award in characterIn his later and most famous incarnation, Gunston had evolved to become the unlikely host of his own national TV variety show, The Norman Gunston Show, which premiered with a live broadcast on ABC television on 18 May 1975. Dubbed "the little Aussie bleeder" (a play on the term "Aussie battler"), he satirised parochial Australian culture, media "personalities" and egocentric talk show hosts. from wikipedia.
Poor thing all he had was looks, he couldn't act, sing or dance that well. Later he lost the one thing that made him famous, his hair. He was a mess due to drugs too.

Leif was so beautiful and gorgeous, there has never been anyone quite like him. Love you always sweet Leif ❤️❤️❤️
In the 70's Leif Garrett was the most beautiful teenager in the world. I have never seen someone this handsome.
Pervert

I wish cowards would use their real adult names.
@januarypresley I agree 10000 % !!

Leif was so beautiful. No one has ever been as beautiful as Leif. I love him so much.
I second that!
Drug addiction sorted that out.
You never seen me honey pot
Leif Garrett was a prince in the 70´s ! The real Golden Boy of the Rock´N Roll and Pop Music!
Adriano Miranda Leif was *never* rock n roll.

this was great! don't apologize for the quality, we're lucky have it at all! leif was so responding to the silliness!
He is so handsome here..from all angles..all the time he is handsome here..no bad angle at all
Thanks so much for posting this ' Leif is such a beautiful human being inside and out .
Most definitely!❤

sounded like his manager was taking 98% of what he got. I remember this interview. Thanks for posting this so I could laugh at Norman again
Manager= his handler
The Justin Bieber of the 70's without the attitude
Leif was really great with Norman - much better than so many.
Thank you so much for posting this as I had never seen it before, but fell in love with Leif when Three for the Road came on in 1975, I was ten and a fan ever since.
Happy you like it. I'm not sure what country it was shot in but the other interviews in the programme seem to be in America as far as I can tell.
Australia...
Australia, mate...
thank you soooo much for posting,leif is so adorable!!!! mein schatz!!
That was brilliant! One of the better Norman Gunston interviews I've ever seen - not counting the infamous Sally Struthers one. Leif seems to have really got into the spirit of the thing.
Leif Was Very Cute ....
Haha, that was so good. "Can I call you uncle Norman, I've never had a funny uncle". Leif did it so well. he enjoyed it as much as anyone.
Filmed in Australia in 1978 I think. I remember watching it! So funny, thanks for uploading.
He was beautiful for sure! I love him too...
God, this is so fun and funny.. Leif is so cute here.. ❤️
what a star he was
shannon johnson agreed

Wow, thanks for this! I've never seen it. What country was this? I wish the interview was longer. Leif has always been beautiful on the outside and inside.
Australia is the country....gunsten was a great aussie comedian
Leif wanted to keep talking.
Clearly enjoying himself. Young man had a great sense of humour.
AAAAAAAACK !!! He's GORGEOUS !!!!!!!
Love it. He brings out some natural reactions doesn't he?
OMG!! Leif is so sweetly endearing here! You just wanna hug him. Actually, he's like a potato chip; you can't hug him just once! Love the humor in this, made me laugh!! Thanks soooo much for sharing!!
November 8, 2014 : THE LEIF GARRETT DAY
Happy Birthday, LEIF GARRETT !
This is the one video in which I find Leif attractive,and charismatic , in other videos I can't see anything special about him.
I think he's a sweetie. I'm pretty sure he'd of had a better time of it, if it weren't for that horrific accident.
bahahaha when he pulls a face as the "funny uncle"
Leif,,no wonder the girls loved him,,classic interview....
I so ❤ Leif!
What a beautiful Leif!!!!!!!
I feel as if my heart were were bursting!!!!!!!!!!
Stalker
he was so cute back then
1989bccclasmate true, he has really lost it.
men age horribly
Women age well? Me thinks not
Gary McDonald still looks very similar now!
Good old Leif. Not too shabby.
Glad you liked it :)
if you were studying with Leif, do you think much homework would have been done? !
"Little sticky fingers with the hole in them!" Gets me every time🤣
"They're good fun but, when you get sick of the songs, you know, they're good fun coz you can stick your finger through the hole and everything eh." :D
LOL @ 2:02. Leif i hope you had a good time last night on Hollywood Idol Contest @ Platinum Live Theater;Best wishes to you!!Wish i could watch you on Bio Channel tonight but don't have it on my local cable.
These days Leif has the same hair like Norman did in this vid
My pleasure :)
@lavendercalendar What a lovely thing to say :) So glad you like it.
Leif Garrett isn't too shabby either!
leif in his heyday
Happy you like it :)
Here is my ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leif can see his future shining in front of him.
@DA90027 Aha! I found you here, too! Bitter much? Leif wasn't developed as a singer, that's no secret....but his voice has evolved beautifully over the years....and in his teen heyday he could definitely out-sing today's premiere auto-tuned poptart (J.B.) who can only hope for a fraction as many hits on his Y/tube videos 30 years from now.
And did I not say that Leif will prevail? Careful....you'll be eating your own words one of these days. : )
You're welcome fellow NG fan!
Edit "This is Uncle Norman in Hollywood."
Leif Garrett is the go-to case for anyone who is born with good looks. Make your money as fast as you can because when your looks fade with time, fame finishes just as quickly.
Seeking fame in the first place is a fuckin' disaster. Only about 1% get it and then they generally want their privacy back.
i like his voice
he changed his name to nathan fyfe and plays footy for fremantle in the afl now
@raynageotte It's the sort of thing little kids do, like "...jumping in puddles or eating money."
That interviewer is weird! Leif is still handsome.
Do you not understand comedy? Leif sure got it, and played along with it well.
Leif Forever Strong💪*"My Future Hubby♥️♥️💍💍💒👩❤️👨🌹👍🥰
@missjoshemmett Well thank you for being so forgiving. I've seen people ripped to shreds on yt for the quality of their vids.
I simply defy them to go find the same clip in much better quality. When it's something totally rare we all know they never will.
claudine, you're welcome.
"I think my business is more important than school" . Oh dear . I just looked up his net worth . Apparently he is worth $1000.00 .
How do you know that is true?
I think that's an exaggeration! Poor man has been down on his knees for a long time. Very hard road the teen-idol one.
his managers ripped him off for millions and he and his mom were to innocent to realise what was happening, mind you he blew quite a lot as well, on the high life
@MilitantPeaceist No bullying on my channel please.
🤣😂
ShirleyTemple was a middle-aged woman! LOL.
Awesome
wow! here's lookin' at you kid
I don't know why the interviewer reminds me of Liam Payne .... lool
Leif /♡\☆
OMG Norman Gunston LmFao
@gailmckennag I'm British (this is my vid) and I love him :)
Creepy af.
Looks like fame Fade don't they...
Cannot understand a frgn word the english fellow is mumbling!
Neither of them are English. Norman is Australian, Leif is American.

Wow.

You need to travel .

Twaddles McGee He could definitely sing! Had lots of hits!
Everyone thinks this is funny I think it's kind of creepy the interviewer is a weirdo sorry
You have no sense of humour.
Leif had no problem with it. He got the humour instantly.
mc 프랑켄슈타인이냐?ㅋㅋ비호감ㅠ
