I know..it's fucking weird. I was born after he died but I feel a major sense of loss, perhaps the loss psychologically feels like something that was once gained due to our brains observing this sense of imagery. Our brains doesn't really know "this is just a past performance on a film", we see him on the screen as an actual human in the present time. So to know he's dead is just a major loss
same with me. i cant stop wondering how would he look like if he was still alive. i really want him to be here and save the world.. we need more activists like him. he will be as big as leo, or johny depp, or even bigger than them. i really want to see river and leo interacting. i miss him so much
I met river back in 1993 at a. Hard rock a cafe in LA. He was really nice and my sister asked him for a autograph, and he invited us to his table to eat with him. He actually paid our tab.

That beauty would destroy him. All he wanted was to support his family, write and produce music and to help save the planet. He was an incredible actor but he only really got into acting to achieve the above goals.
It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who misses him and feels loss despite being born after he passed. River feels like an eternal flame, always so luminous and exuding warmth... I wish the world could have been better to him, he cared so deeply for it.
It's very interesting you said that, I was 3 years old when River passed on Halloween in 1993. But I feel sadden to believe his career has been shortened due to the fact what happened at The Viper Room. But your not the only one that misses him, I miss him alot as a fan of his career too.😢😢😢😢
His gaze is so fierce but his character is so gentle. He’s wise beyond his years and was a truly passionate soul. So tragic, he was gone too soon. He had the weight of the world on his shoulders and still managed to smile and do what he loved. RIP River, your family is in my prayers.
Hard to explain this one...but he had a natural thoughtfulness, and young wisdom about him. Johnny Depp always seemed to me as someone who wanted to sound deep, pushed very hard for the laid back poet vibe. River was the genuine article
💯💯💯 River will always be in a class all his own. In a way, I feel it was his spirit that drew people in and that spirit shone too bright for the jaded Hollywood crowd. They absolutely fed into his demise, Johnny Depp included. The world was robbed of an incredible soul, yet I can't shake off the feeling he would be beside himself if he were alive to see the world as it is today.
seeing the comments still came from days or months ago i feel like i'm not alone. esp not the only one who decided to watch his videos because i miss him.
Bless him, he was so shy in this interview, but somehow exuded a comforting energy. Usually when someone is uncomfortable it makes me feel uncomfortable, but with River its different. Idk how to explain.
Humbleness at this level will NEVER be seen on this planet ever again, sad but true. There will NEVER be someone like River again, and we failed to really appreciate and cherish him the way too short time we had him amongst us. :'(
Sadly no one ever asked him this, which is what let to his early demise. Someone should have put him in rehab, though I bet people tried but he didn’t want it himself. I recall reading somewhere that his long-term girlfriend Martha Plimpton, held bitter anger towards his friends and family for never caring about him, or “saving” him shall I say. Perhaps that anger might be self-reflective for her as well.
That fucked up Gus Van no Saint “ My Private Idaho “ got him, Rodney Harvey and Keanu to experiment with heroin. Keanu made out all right. Rodney and River got hooked and eventually died of overdoses.
Such a talented man gone too soon. His brother is a great actor as well, if he could see all the great this his brother has accomplished from Gladiator to the upcoming Joker movie, he would be so proud of him ! RIP River Phoenix !!!
So many of us have named our sons, daughters and Animals after Him . I never seen see another actor have people use their name as much as River . He was something special. People even name their children after Rain and Joaquin he’s so well liked people even like his siblings.
He seemed so vulnerable but had to keep it strong. I wish & really wish if only we could be given a chance to have even one more day with him. 😟 It's been more than 20 years & I'm still mourning. 😭
seems like he was a really special guy, not only was he very cute and unique, but he also was a very kind and humble person, he did his last movie to get money for his younger sister to go to college, he worked mostly to get money for his family, and cared a lot about everything surrounding him, family, friends, the environment and also the animals since he was a vegan since he was little. also was apparently a sweetheart to all his fans. I wasn’t born yet when he died but I would have loved to meet him and give him a hug, it’s really sad to see what happened to him. Rest In Peace, River ❤
He never done drugs at this age and this is what happens from being a young teen to becoming an adult,exact same with my son from 15 to now 19,he looks way older but hasnt touched any drugs
I was 5 when he died. Too bad because of pressure and burden he carried, he became so stressed and wanting to achieve everything for his family. Love ya River I really do. Your movies such as Stand by me and dogfight always make me laugh and sad .
No, I dont think you're a weirdo. To hear him breathe after he's long gone is kinda surreal actually and it makes you sad when you realize that he breathed once too, and now he doesn't anymore.
He looked a little irritated with the guy putting a time limit on the questions, he looked like he liked answering questions he just didn't like the time limit aspect
I was a teen when he died and I felt it so deeply I was crying for more than a week. This is so bizarre to not even know a person and would never meet him and still feel this way. I am 47 now and still cry when watching this video. So bizarre. 😢 R.I.P River.
For having zero education he has a way with words well articulated. The way that people in Hollywood self medicate. Too bad his life was short & ruined by such learned behavior
Despite how handsome River is, I never had a crush on him (my best friend did). And I certainly don't see him that way now. If anything, I feel parental and big sisterly toward him (even though he's older than me) and just wish he were alive, happy, and thriving. I can't explain why I feel that way about him. It's not just because he's gone, as other celebs are too and I don't feel much about it. And it's not because of his looks. (I don't feel romantic or sexual toward him). I almost think it has to do with knowing his background before he became a child actor, the whole thing of busking in the streets with his siblings and just not having a very normal childhood. I swear, you just want to hold him and take care of him.
I think I'm searching for some way that I could move on from him Because I can't find a reason why I miss him so much I wasn't even born when he was here Now I have 20 y And I keep thinking that I could have been in the world at the same time that he was I wish I could ask him about how he was doing I wish I could have a chance to talk to him about anything Could be the air or protecting the animals Or whatever he wanted to Or just about how I will miss him forever It's a strange feeling what I'm experiencing How can I deal with it?
Hi He never similed due to maybe his sad background. I think the entertainment industry and media beatifies him although I thank you for posting this one. Does anyone know his TH-cam clips which has his smiles? Please let me know.
I miss him and i never even met him

My last name is Jordan, I was thinking about naming my son River, his name would be River Jordan.

oh wow he was so breathtakingly beautiful
He looks so nervous i just want to hug him. His breathing in the mic is so good to hear and his voice so soothing.

Mikail Stacy agreed. His family are beautiful too (inside and out) and they did a good job with him I reckon
❣️🙌🏼❣️
What's the link between the two?
He's such a beautiful yet tortured soul and his pain seemed overlooked..
that's a beautiful picture.dunno if that's you but you're beautiful if it is.
Beautifully written and a sad truth
He abused Heroin … he went method for Idaho.

@@angeleforoughe5135 watching in 2020 😔✊
I still miss him.. Yesterday I ordered T-shirt where River photo was paste from our local shop.. 💕💕
Yr definitely not alone
you are not alone...i'm always watching him...he is my angel
He was such a gentleman. And handsome. He is loved and missed.
Bless him, he was so shy in this interview, but somehow exuded a comforting energy. Usually when someone is uncomfortable it makes me feel uncomfortable, but with River its different. Idk how to explain.

If I were there and had the oppurtunity to ask him anything, I would just ask him “How have you been doing?”
SUCH A PURE GOOD SOUL
❤️

Awe my heart aches for this beautiful soul 😢he was so nice x
Its interesting like he always looks annoyed with something but he is so sweet at the same time. He was so humble and shy.
His looks and aura are incredible.
He was sooooo kind :) he was such a softie. I love him so frickin much !!! Ugh it’s so sad that he died so young.. I wish I could talk to him ❤️💯
Hi You're Beautiful
A young guy just wanting to be a normal. Hollywood killed him.
That fucked up Gus Van no Saint “ My Private Idaho “ got him, Rodney Harvey and Keanu to experiment with heroin. Keanu made out all right. Rodney and River got hooked and eventually died of overdoses.
@@nikkibeacth he didn't die of overdose on porpouse, he accidently drinked something that killed him
same with Heath Ledger
@@sr.rodriguez4816 he was actually killed in hospital. He overcame the overdose
@@draig1 lol dude wtf
He was so gorgeous, kind and PURE ❤how can one miss and love someone so much we never even met....
Such a talented man gone too soon. His brother is a great actor as well, if he could see all the great this his brother has accomplished from Gladiator to the upcoming Joker movie, he would be so proud of him ! RIP River Phoenix !!!
RIP man it breaks my heart. Imagine all of the roles he would have slayed
Here after The Oscar's 2020!!! Rip River. Your brother is doing great!! :)
I miss River pheonix, I was 5 when died and it's only now I have started watching his movies and absolutely love them.....
I was only 8 so I can relate to you x😥
I was -13 🤧
You perfect buetiful man hope you found peace in heaven river you sure deserve it 💖💖💖
So beautiful,so humble,so kind and this is why i named my first born after River
Yo también l puse a mi hijo river esau por lo amo a river phoenix hermoso ni leonardo dicaprio ni brat pit l llega el mejor mi rey hermoso

The first 30 sec blew my mind away! What a thoughtful artist!
He seemed so vulnerable but had to keep it strong. I wish & really wish if only we could be given a chance to have even one more day with him. 😟
It's been more than 20 years & I'm still mourning. 😭
Very similar to his brother.. not needing the validation of a trophy & that stage ... he did it for the love of the ART!
He also did it because his parents exploited him…
Bring him back to me please I miss him xx ❤️❤️
Aaww
His voice 😍 wow
Such a delicate, fragile and beautiful man.
seems like he was a really special guy, not only was he very cute and unique, but he also was a very kind and humble person, he did his last movie to get money for his younger sister to go to college, he worked mostly to get money for his family, and cared a lot about everything surrounding him, family, friends, the environment and also the animals since he was a vegan since he was little. also was apparently a sweetheart to all his fans.

If he never died, he would probably be winning oscars like his brother!
my guess would win 2 or 3 oscars...he is my angel..he isvery talented...forever young my love
He was nominated for some I believe
@@AestheticallyChe was nominated for "Running on empty", a 1988 movie, his movie character was Danny.
A really true angel 😭❤ I miss him so much 😭❤.
He jokes about playing a “cruel bastard” but he really did. In 1991’s “Dogfight”. He did a great job once again.
Dam he is unreal 😭 😍
I love him so deeply. I was 3 years old in 1989. I was so madly in love with him at 5 lol. If only i had a chance to speak with him older. Rip River
It's hard to believe this was only 3 years after he did stand by me, he looks as if he aged about 20 years.
He never done drugs at this age and this is what happens from being a young teen to becoming an adult,exact same with my son from 15 to now 19,he looks way older but hasnt touched any drugs
Lori Paterson not trying to be funny but you weren't there so you can't really say when he started doing drugs.
i thought he was 14 in stand by me 😂 turns out he was 16
All you need to do is dig deep into the internet and you will find his drug history. He kept it hidden well.
No way
I was 5 when he died. Too bad because of pressure and burden he carried, he became so stressed and wanting to achieve everything for his family. Love ya River I really do. Your movies such as Stand by me and dogfight always make me laugh and sad .
But you like 15
@@johnclark3108 asian dont raisi'. Many said that
dogfight is a very good movie..still watching...i love all him movies...my angel
And "Running on empty", a 1988 movie, he played Danny.
He’s way too beautiful. Rest In Peace we love you river !
I almost cried when i heard him breathing into that microphone..am i a weirdo or what :(((

Same.

No, I dont think you're a weirdo. To hear him breathe after he's long gone is kinda surreal actually and it makes you sad when you realize that he breathed once too, and now he doesn't anymore.

if he was still Alive I think he would be the best actor of his generation
his place took DiCaprio
My dear sweet older brother from another mother. River ❤. A beautiful old soul
I love him!! ❤❤❤❤❤
i miss riv so bad.. he died a little before i was born i never got to meet him. one day :)
He looked a little irritated with the guy putting a time limit on the questions, he looked like he liked answering questions he just didn't like the time limit aspect
MY LIFE,MY FUCKING LIFE
He would be one of the most phenomenal actors today if he was still alive RIP River
He’s amazing!!
"He'll be here for 5 minutes so ask your questions."
Me: Do you know I love you?
You made my day with this video :)
Ur welcome
a genuine soul
I was a teen when he died and I felt it so deeply I was crying for more than a week. This is so bizarre to not even know a person and would never meet him and still feel this way. I am 47 now and still cry when watching this video. So bizarre. 😢 R.I.P River.
It's been awhile since I've watched one of my many favorite peeps/there r so many good ones to reminisce with,they give me comfort
For having zero education he has a way with words well articulated.
The way that people in Hollywood self medicate. Too bad his life was short & ruined by such learned behavior
He was under educated and over intelligent.
Actually he had a tutor come to his house everyday, even so he was under educated during the early years of his life, but he still knew what to say
@Lisa Surlie Shut up! Just Shut up!
@Lisa Surlie can i call you as a Bitch!!!!!! Benchoot !!!!!!
@Lisa Surlie i see you responding to every comment, why on earth are you watching this video
I love you River😭
I love him but I never got a chance to know him. Missing you River
I love you River.
And now there is his nephew little River.
i love you river
Un angel
He was not a greedy shark yearning for only fame ...He had a more wider view about life and the world.
本当に演技が上手くて驚きました。どんな人間にもなれる。
Fucking damn! He is SO fucking FINE! Such a sad loss!
The moment River walked in the you can see he's thinking "ah for fuck sake"
I know right. Lol
Despite how handsome River is, I never had a crush on him (my best friend did). And I certainly don't see him that way now. If anything, I feel parental and big sisterly toward him (even though he's older than me) and just wish he were alive, happy, and thriving. I can't explain why I feel that way about him.

I luv his voice…a soft Bronx accent, so gentle yet strong. So handsome! Unfortunately I love you to death was a dud
It's like they brought in a wild deer and bombarded it with questions.
2021でも、このセンスはカッコいい。

Que saudade 😔 meu amor
He and Elliott Smith are both the same in character, talent and sensitivity
He looks uncomfortable
Vamolian yeah you will see in interviews, he never looks into the camera he said his self he gets scared of the camera.
He looks tired
That's Oscar! Who wouldn't?
if only I could hear the questions a bit better
anyone know where he got his sweater?
Inesquecível em mim❤
this interview gives me anxiety ngl, he seems stressed and confused and not healthy :(( his breathing- so sad fly high angel

Because I can't find a reason why I miss him so much
I wasn't even born when he was here
Now I have 20 y
And I keep thinking that I could have been in the world at the same time that he was

Could be the air or protecting the animals
Or whatever he wanted to
Or just about how I will miss him forever
It's a strange feeling what I'm experiencing
How can I deal with it?
Wonder what caught his attention at 5:44.
River mentioned Martin Scorsese lol Leo would be out of work imagine River in Scorsese movie epic!
