People need to lighten up. This was exactly what I signed up for when I clicked this. It's a riot.
So true, it's a good thing Lord Byron is no longer alive these snowflakes in the comments would absolutely hate him. Rupert is a total riot
it's amazing how many people miss that the attitude Rupert is exhibiting is glimpses of Byron..it's on purpose people..wow
@@jcfal1708 Everett concentrates on Byron as actor and poseur, and speaks with authority. Mostly Rupert behaving badly in the Balkans. The flamboyant frolicking got a little tiresome for me.
This man is a very disturbing creature. Irony is one thing and ksenophobia something else
@Kristy Kelly I don't care what the misogynist Byron would or could have felt - why do people celebrate his mistreatment of people, especially women. He gets away with things because of a mistake of birth - the French knew how to deal with the nobility.
Kiki Kelly glad you pointed this out. I listened to the first few minutes and thought. What’s with the homophobia? Another two minutes and I realized that the words were totally ironic
I figured that when he began in the bathtub...
I'm just at the beginning of the video and I did, as an English major, study Byron in university. Seeing those paintings of him, one is just struck dumb by the sheer beauty of the man. Stunning.
Effeminate
Rupert does this brilliantly , he also did Oscar Wild superbly 🥰👍
Byron's greatest achievement was his daughter, Ada, a mathematical genius who is also credited with writing the first computer program.
Interesting
that wasn’t his achievement.. she was the product of her mother he was a trash father
@@llegamosa300milsubscriptor5 ok?
She didn't write a computer program as computers didn't exist yet. Ada wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's analytic machine which was never made.
And his wife who wrote Frankenstein!
I find it really quite remarkable that both Byron and Rupe managed to complete their respective adventures without suffering a beat down. I'm pleased it worked out for them.
With Byron, many yes later your idea got life implementation - he was killed in Greece after all.
@@fainatselnik267He didn’t killed in Greece he passed away due to malaria disease and he didn’t contribute much to Greece independence except financial and good at speeches, and fight with most of his greedy mercenaries guards.
69 of Lord Byron's former lovers disliked this video.
Four more came out of the woodwork, the count is up to 73 now. LOL
M gdhse3 105 now. Not super surprised 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@edennolani8171 Now it is 161!
This documentary made me realise that the fame everyone chases these days is very temporary. No one will be talking about Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton in 100 years; no one will have even heard of them. But in 500 years people will have heard of William Shakespeare and Lord Byron. What's the difference? True talent and real genius. If you want immortal fame, you need to do more than have a reality TV show and millions of Instagram followers.
With social media anyone nowadays can become a celebrity and people take advantage of this and we are bombarded with new celebrities every year, not to mention that a lot of people are starting to have their niche now for me the kardashians are nothing much but glorified rich people the only celebrity from there is Kanye, a celebrity to me is a professional cs go player.
idk, who can name 99 percent of those high society nobles in england in the 1800s? byron was a great poet but there were plenty of people back then who were "famous for being famous." apples and oranges
So true.
Here here
I feel like people will be talking about them. They're too wealthy, and changed the face of modern media so much to not be talked about.
Rupert is just such gorgeous, elegant eye candy & that voice maids this biography of Byron so friggin' interesting. Thank you fine man!
To see all that trash in the gates of the castle made me feel sad.
Gypsies, probably.
I fell on the floor at Rupert at the Embassy cocktail party exquistely not regailing the 2 guests with his Byron, sherbet and sodomy anecdote. Meryl Streep couldn't react this painfully stilted more beautifully. Hilarious.!! Thank you for this unique and informative journey, I enjoyed it immensely. Pat
Fabulous, scandalous documentary , thanks so much for taking the time to upload this amazing video.
Poetry is a dangerous drug.
Just a sliver/Can make a girl quiver...
It surely is a gateway into novels and other works of literature.
WHO KNEW??? I skipped over Lord Byron in highschool - or maybe.......maybe my teachers skipped over Lord Byron. Fascinating history - WHO KNEW about Albania's passion for him? Cheers
One of the teachers I had the most in high school, who was really the senior English teacher, was obsessed with the romantics. He fangirled the whole week he set aside just for Byron.
Asking Albanians if they want communism back in Albania is like asking the germans if they want the nazis back.
Agreed
,, ,, "B A C K," !!, ,,?,,?,, ,, THEY, !!, "THOSE," - people, !!, ALL, WANT, - "2," - "L E A V E," !!, ( albaninia, !!, ), "SNEAK," - THREW, - THE, "CHUNNEL," !!, "&," LAND, - "UP," !!, IN, "CANADA 🇨🇦,"!!,"
so, the answer is yes?
yes German wanted the Nazis, they got brainwashed
While I don't care for Byron as a poet, I must admit, as a person, he was even worse
why ? what did he do please ?
Ruppert wants to check if it is true what Byron said about Hispanic women, and he meets a High class call-girl in a restaurant Iin Portugal! ... What does a call-girl from Portugal have to do with the Hispanic women?. I don't see the connection.
,, ,, LIKE, ALL, THE, "OTHER''S," !!, ( HERE, - "2," !!, ), "SHE'S," - KEEP'IN, A, "BLACK," - BOOK, !!, WITH, "TELLY," #, !!, IT, "HAPPEND," - HERE, !!, ( TORONTO, !!, ), WITH, "DONNY," OSMOND, !!, "GRAND,," - WEST, !!,
What we love is Rupert’s excitement about Byron, his emotion and enthusiasm brings the poet alive for us. He brings him - his beauty, heroism, foibles - into our own spheres.
The current Ottoman Sultan juring Lord Byron's Grand tour was Mahmud II he destroyed the Jenisaies the Sultan's bodyguards.
Thank you Rupert Everett for a delicious story of Lord Byron. A beautiful depiction. What an amazing adventure you had. Thanks again for sharing history.
Good to see Rupert Everett looking as handsome as ever. I was scared he’d never look the same after that surgery years ago. I’ve had such a crush on him since Dance With A Stranger.
I Googled Byron's psychiatric profile and it pulled up an article titled, "Lord Byron, Bipolar Genius." So, they think he was manic depressive, very creative, and a little crazy. Hence the wild mood swings.
well done thanks for sharing
Wow - Looking good Rupert!
Rupert was the perfect choice to host this. I'd like to see Jude Law, too, as Byron.
Although Rupert can be quite entertaining I find him quite insufferable, arrogant and overbearing. He's definitely full of himself masking incredible insecurity and a good deal of self loathing. Quite a pity what has become of him. Or was he even young so cynical and somewhat bitter.
as a greek i am proud of Lord Byron
Wow that’s pretty harsh his snarky comments on the Albanian native clothing.😒
Superb!
Surprsing they never mentioned his incestuous affair with his own sister. Could it be the nanny who taught him that? Could that explain his contempt for women?
They do mention incest at the very end of the video. There must be a second episode.
That’s in Part Two

bravo ! well done.
hoisted on his own petard !!!!
"Sherbert and sodomy" to the woman at the embassy party. --- she was not one bit amused or interested in discussing that topic.
I look at parties like that as 'business' parties. You can have a good time, so long as your good times are work appropriate and that convo was NOT work appropriate.
HAAAA I KNOW RIGHT IT WAS AMAZING xD
Rupert comments at the embassy party drop like a lead balloon. Clearly Rupert would not have made a good diplomat.
the second lady was a bit rather squirmy,pity hedidnt have the shower etchings with him!
Ohhhh thanks for describing Albanian so lovely
Really good, it's like we are there and it's almost like we are meeting Byron. I have been shocked and I m French, well done! How would you feel being around Byron, watching this documentary ?? wonderful thank you.
So we ignore the fact that Lisbon is in Portugal, not Spain?
Portugal was, for all intents and purposes, part of Spain for about 140 years. There would likely have been a lot of Spanish women there in Byron's time.
120 years And it ended in 1680 so more than 100 years before he was born....
@@ariaalexandria3324 not right.
@@filipasales9291 1580-1640.
Simply ignorance.
Somewhat rude to the embassy guests. You could see disgust in their facial expressions.
Rupert can be a quite naughty boy in his own right, but I suspect that's what made him ideal for this documentary.
Yeah I loved it!
13:30 "2PAC 2008". He lives!
BAYRON WAS VERY CHARISMATIC
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know!" BYRON, of course, fits that description.
MY CHOICE to fit those words:
ROCKSTAR WARREN ZEVON .
I MET him....was with him one evening... he was a Grand and Golden Renegade. To be with W.Z. was to know how Icarus felt when he flew too close to the Sun.
King Oberon is looking good
I can't see Byron wearing an Adidas jacket if he were to be alive now.
So well-produced video….
Rupert is very funny! Adorable
Gold!!!
2442 Calling the Queen "very well stacked..." amazing... but true... she was a superbly beautiful girl....
Great Documentary - The comparison between then and now was very entertaining.
Is just me or does the narrator sound like Jamie Lannister?
Ahh this reminds me of my life nothing in the world is better then a life full of adventures my journey is not over yet
find yourself some ottoman bath boys brotherrr
Yay, finally I'm the first to comment. Waiting for this moment for months. BTW, nice bathtub.
lord bayron was very CARISMATIC😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
anyone know what the title of the book he was reading out of about the bathhouse?
Sherbet and sodomy.........that’s Byron all over....
Cemetery man..cool
The farther I watch this video, the more I feel a kinship with Byron's kind of mind (socially awkward, needing to prove myself, mood swings). Posting my comment at the point at the painting, "this is natural" I dont think he was lying. My natural face seems like a scowl to some people.
I feel bad for everyone else like oof. I know he’s doing it on purpose but imagine having to deal with him
Lord Byron sounds like a sociopath. :/
He was an unpleasant git because of his disdain and mistreatment of people, especially women - he was very good at spending other peoples money.
Loved all of the info given but I think he goes a bit overboard sometimes
Lawrence Oliver McBeth about a guy who was called ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’?
27:11 Enemies & loyal friends, those words are eternal.
Byron etched his named in a pillar in the Parthenon, really missed an opportunity here ha
RUPERT ROCKS
@13:30 '2PAC 2008' respect
Those were horrible comments about the Albanian national costume! It’s appalling to hear them from the mouth of an artist globally renowned like Everett!
Sorry granny, sorry mum....🤫
Rupert Everett is a major act. He's a lovely guy
He had the morals of an alley-cat.
fabulous doc
this series is perfect for a drinking game :p
I would say that everything I’ve learned about lord Byron I’ve learned against my will, but I did click on this video so….
LOL same. I guess I only have myself to blame..
Where is part 2? I’d love to see it!
th-cam.com/video/_bneto1szFo/w-d-xo.html
MsNahualita It’s available now! 🙂
To be clear, the Versace are *not* Italian royalty ;)
No kidding. Waste of a good bio.
If the prurient parts had wit - aye, this could've been a game changer.
28:23 you can tell she doesn't drink à l'anglaise. lol
What's the name of the music that plays ahen they reach Albania?
Hriste boze
@@pathonda3608 thanks a ton sir
Those Portraits of Byron remind me so much of a Young Robert Downey Jr.
Really? I actually think he looked more like the old Hollywood actor Robert Taylor.
Rupert's face is so strange after so many procedures, specially his eyes, they are horrible
The call girl is like Tina Fey!
Rupert Everett in the tub, I AM INNN!
So many men before have had this kind of experiences. I cannot tell what makes Byron better or - other word - worth of a whole documentary (even for 2 parts)...
It glosses over the most extraordinary parts of his life, but as it's supposed to be a travel show that may be what they were going for.
Ha, ha.... this is so amusing!
This is a great documentary. Thank you :)
he's quite rude. while trying on the albanian costume he said "couldn't have chosen a more stupid hat even if i tried"... really? is this the best you can do?
I was hoping for something interesting, but this is just disappointing
He's trying to provide the viewers a glimpse of what Byron would actually have said.
Sameeha Eram I doubt that very seriously. He was even painted in them, quite a pretty penny at that time, and probably his most famous portrait.
Part 2?

i am a turk i lovo byron
As you are a Turk, I am sure he would love you too!
lol why does this open with him in a bath and a picture of Byron by his feet? #wut?
What do 'Byron and his cambridge friend hid the stews of Lisbon' and 'the loosh city of Lisbon' mean?
Can't find it anywhere on the internet.
"luxe" it means opulent or rich
@@AmmyBelle thank you
@@AmmyBelle thank you
Hahahaha talking to the ambassador about sodomy ❤ always loved Rupert: he can be classy and crass at the same time ❤
*tried to follow Byron's life*
*dressed like a Slav in a tracksuit*
Nothing wrong with a Slav in a tracksuit. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s hilarious and yet of merit. Everett is a parody and parodying.
19 Aπριλη 2024, σαν σημερα συμπληρώνονται ακριβως 200 χρονια απο το θανατο του Λορδου Βυρωνα στο Μεσολόγγι. Ο Βύρωνας εδωσε τη ζωη του για την Ελλαδα, και το ονομα του στη γειτονια του Βυρωνα, στην Αθήνα. Ο Λόρδος Βύρωνας ειναι ο καλύτερος αγγλος ποιητης του 19ου αιώνα.
Please put Turkish subtitle
He's just a bisexual dude who was a drag king. That's what he was. A writer poet and artist of his own kind. But that's what he was.
THANK GOD HE HAD ONE GOOD DIRTY JOKE FOR THE PARTY. But u can tell the people he told it too just...seemed a bit prudish. But that could have been editing
wasn't ali pasha actually staying in his capital city of Ioannina? How is this Ali Pasha's castle? He had many castles....
there is a castle called Ali Pasha in Saranda ( Kisha e madhe )
38:11 wtf ?? It's monastery.
Rupert is a great story teller. And very hot!
Oh goody
meu sonho ter legenda em português
tem em inglês e eu acho que tu consegue traduzir automaticamente daí
byron was sort of the errol flynn of his day
Errol Flynn liked romps with good looking young men too? Hmmm...I did not know that...
I started to watch this documentary to learn a little more about Byron, all I learned is that Everett wants to portray himself as an A-hole. After 11 minutes I'm gone.
Same here !
I'm ashamed to say I watched half.
I’m getting there
You definitely wouldn't care for Byron then lmao
Lol such puritan prudes
Ali Pasha or Tepedelenli Ali Pasha he was almost the de-facto ruler of Albania
