He's very gracious for an almost 60 year old man who has to spend the majority of an interview talking about his dad who has been gone for over 40 years.
This interview most likely would have never happened if Julian's dad was not John Lennon so it's his cross to bear and it seems like he handles it well.
you cant chose your parents.....
What else can he talk about.. his music is terrible..
Yeah, I’d actually like to hear about Julian. I pretty much know everything about the Beatles. What is Julian’s day-to-day life like?
@@dougfornili5969 "too late for goodbyes" is a great song!
Awesome interview. Julian seems so kind and humble. His mom did such a great job raising him. Thanks to Julian for sharing his talents with us.
Hello Theresa,
How're you doing?
Thanks for all your love and support, also for being an amazing fan.
It's nice meeting you here
Kevin is so focused on plowing ahead with the hike and interview that he doesn’t realize Julian’s getting pelted with branches and squeezed behind by thickets. 😂
He does that to everyone. It's always nice when people catch on and start holding there own with him and Kevin gets branches to the face. lol Paul Rudd I think.
Lol I thought the same thing
He definitely notices. He's thinking of ways to incorporate it into his comedy narrative. No doubt. His face is always the straightest as someone takes a branch to the face.
🙄😪
I've seen that occur in most
of these interviews
~no matter the trail location.
Kevin knows which side to walk on,
as he likely checks it out before filming, or is familiar.
What a lovely guy. He seems very together for someone born into a life of constant scrutiny and expectation - it would be very difficult to be an artist with a parent that famous - the pressure to succeed would be insane. I got chills when he told the white feather story. I'd be willing to wager his Dad is very proud of him.
This is a nicely written comment.
I think it helped that his father abandoned him at 5 years old.
And then left him $50k out a $220m estate.
I think he's very clear on who he is, and who his father's new family was
@@TheMijman I doubt the veracity of your comments. In any event, Julian does not seem the least bit bitter.
@@googleyeyed5814 Readable online.
Most stuff I said was from Julian Lennon interviews. The rest is just fact.
There's so many articles from both father and sin describing their lack of relationship.
@@TheMijman Who's 'Facts'? 🤣
First interview I've ever seen of Julian Lennon. What a very sweet and intelligent grounded man.
Julian is 100% a photographer at heart. Noticed all of the best scenes to shoot.
He's a musician at heart...it's in his DNA.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Talented people can actually be more than one thing. Untalented people cannot imagine how.
🌞\m/💝
@chris72010 It was easy. I tried.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 But, so is art. In case you've forgotten or didn't know, both his parents were visual artists - in his dad's case, as one of multiple creative outlets. And, of course, John and Cynthia met at art school in Liverpool.
Met Julian at Kennedy Airport years ago. A very nice guy and gentleman.
What's crazy is that Julian is 59 going on 60, his father died at 40. So Julian has already lived 1.5 times longer than his father has, a full 20 years and counting.
math is wild huh?
Julian is just lovely!✌️❤️✨️
Very down to earth guy indeed.
Julian is a gem.
I can’t imagine living with that burden of having an iconic father and constantly being asked the same tiresome questions and handling them with such grace. I’m glad Julian mentioned his mother being an artist. She gave him many of his gifts as well, one of the of best of which has been raising a lovely, grounded and insightful man.
Hello Mary,
how're you doing?
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you,
it's nice meeting you here.
17:07 HI Julian thank you for being so gracious.
I feel for Julian and Sean when every interview they do becomes “so, your dad” they are very talented, interesting people in their own right
And the ridiculous, tiresome question about whether the sons would capitalize on their fathers recognition and form a band, all the while trying to be recognized for their own talent and work. Even the Beatles probably could not have been the next Beatles had they reunited. Jules got so fed up with the comparisons he left music to go into photography. Sean avoids comparisons by doing very experimental non-commercial work. The other sons and daughters too have their own things. Leave them all alone.
I feel for Julian not sean so much.
@@kookytoots6755 do you know either of those guys?
@@kookytoots6755 why not sean? just because you're a misogynist and you don't like his mother?
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Very strange comment. Disrespectful. Not liking terrible things a certain woman is able to do doesn't mean it is misogynist. Nobody needs to appreciate bad actions only because the person is a woman.
So nice to see Julian. I can’t even imagine how difficult it has been for him to live under such a massive shadow. He seems like a very lovely man in his own right.
Hello Tessa,
How're you doing?
Thanks for all your love and support, also for being an amazing fan.
It's nice meeting you here
Yes, but he also gets to live under his Mum’s shadow too, and I think that is beautiful.
I'm impressed with Julian. He is so humble and down to earth. When I first heard his first hit song, I honestly thought it was John. Same voice and looks so much like him.
He's a great photographer. I actually think he was lucky not being raised with his famous rich dad. Everything he has accomplished has been on his own. He was cute when he was young, but wow, he has aged really well. Now he's just a really great looking guy.😊
Hello Loree,
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
This dude is remarkably still put together considering he's the son of one of the most famous human beings in the history of modern culture.

Wow, heavy, but true!!!!
This really captured the essence of Julian. These 15 minutes revealed more about his personality than from any "formal" interview.
I like his energy. Very relaxed and seems like an awesome person. Really great hike, thank you Kevin! :)
That particular hike could've been at least another 1/2 hour long. Julian is an interesting guy.
When Kevin asked about all the Beatle kids coming together to form a band and Julian rolled his eyes, that was all the answer I needed
I am glad Kevin has a wide range of guests. I have been a fan of Julian since the 80’s. He is a talented artist on his own. I cannot imagine being the child of a rock legend. Looks like he is doing his own thing. Much love!!❤
Julian has released some excellent songs. Unfortunately most people have never heard most of them. There are many fine gems from him - if you take the time to delve into his discography.
Mr Jordan is an excellent album
I love the photograph smile album.
claypool/lennon delirium was amazing
@@VeriTasered That was Sean Lennon.
Photograph Smile from 1998 is a fine album.
I really dig these interviews, the energy is so more laid back and more real than something you would see on a conventional late night type show
100%
This is definitely better. Better questions more air time
🌞\m/💝
John Lennon shooting - 2 gunmen. 8-10 bullets (Mark Chapmans gun holds 5 bullets). Jose Perdomo (CIA) was security guard outside.
I think a sit down would have been better.
Julian Lennon was a terrific interview. Thank you so much! Great job!
Agreed! His new album is great too!
Favourite track off “Jude”?
Wow, just looked him up & can't believe this dude is 59 already!
Yeah!! And Kevin is 69
@@suzyh6633 Yeah, but I already knew that. 😜
This was a great interview Kevin. Julian Lennon was so forthcoming and down to earth. Loved this interview.
Julian is a class act ! John would be proud !
Cynthia would. She raised him.
Cynthia was
This is great: Julian is just Julian and that's the best he can ever be.
Valotte is a great album. Love Julian
Thank you Kevin!! ❤ Great walk with a true legend!!
Julian looks more and more like his dad. He seems like a very down to earth nice guy.
He actually looks more like his mum if you look at old photos of her
I love Julian. He is Brilliant. Thank you.
Brilliant?
I can tell that Julian had a fantastic mom that loved him. He seems like a nice person. Sounds and looks so much like his dad. Wow!
He’s like John but much nicer person. John wasn’t very nice
@@dogpd3 so I’ve heard. But I’ve heard nothing but good things about his mother.
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598his mum comes across as a very kind gentle person in the interviews I’ve seen of her.
I love Julian. I'm glad he's back songwriting and singing again. I didn't know he was a photographer. I'd love to see his work.
I remember there being a video online here about some of his photography work in a museum or show somewhere, and I know his beautiful mama Cynthia was also part of the video briefly and she mentioned being so happy her son was happy.
Thank you Julian for your honesty and thank you Kevin for your silence ❤

Really enjoyed your hike with Julian, thanks for letting us tag along😉
I LOVE Kevin, but his quietness and reverence on this hike is palpable. Great hike, Mr. Kevin.
I remember buying the album Valotte and playing the title song for the neighborhood. Several people remarked that Julian sounded just like his father. Agreed.
Julian seems to have his stuff together. Mind seems sharp for someone who has always been under scrutiny. Liked his recent Imagine performance.
This is great. I always loved The Beatles, I always loved John, but I never kept up with Julian. He is quite interesting, and seems very down to earth.
underrated musician he's got some great songs

Coincidentally, John never really kept up with Julian either.
@@MattTee1975 He did, towards the end.
Check out Julians Photograph Smile album. A few great tracks & he sounds exactly like John
Great interview. I do think Julian is sick of talking about the Beatles. He wanted to talk about his work. I guess it will haunt him the rest of his life. He seeems grounded and in a good place.
Julian. Probably why I'm still single. When he used to come on MTV I made my dolly kiss his face on the TV.
Julian is such a Wonderful person. You can feel his beautiful spirit! I could listen to him talk forever.
I like how talkative Julian is. Kevin is just plowing ahead and occasionally throwing something out there and Julian runs with it. This was great. Two guys, that in my opinion, have been underrated or at least under appreciated.
I always thought that Julian got a bad rap from the press for being John's son, he really is a down to earth kind of guy, I'm glad you interviewed him.

Julian doesn't do many interviews so I really enjoyed this....I love the white feather story....what a sweet and grounded person he is....his Mom Cynthia did a great job raising him on her own....I love John but I wish he had been around more to see what a wonderful son he had....God bless Julian and thanks Kevin for this video : )))))))
Hello June,
How're you doing?
Thanks for all your love and support, also for being an amazing fan.
It's nice meeting you here
Holy holy cow this is my childhood dream podcast, I legit have always wanted to hear these questions from Julian. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to hear this.
Julian is so generous- what awesome dude. I always liked him. Mad crush on him in 1984!
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize..
I love Julian for his strength and graceful expertise of melody. His dad would be so proud.
What a lovely,talented human
Love Julian so much. I always thought highly of him. He's a very special person. Thanks for the hike. Such a great idea for a channel.
A funny coincidence as someone who's been avidly catching up on "Hiking with Kevin" and just before opening TH-cam and discovering this video, I was on Spotify randomly downloading Julian Lennon for the first time. I always feel sorry for him and Sean that no matter what great stuff they create in their lives, they'll always be in the shadow of their father, and always having to answer interview questions about John. And yet, that white feather story really gave me some goosebumps. Thanks Kevin for your hike series!
Karma! 🎉😊
Yeah Julian good to see him!! 💕
Now that was a interview. Thanks Mr. Nealon (Kevin). Long, long time fan of yours and John. 69 your old male. First concert Jethro Tull. Keep these hikes going as long as you can......✌🏼..........🦅
Loved the feather story.
This was awesome! Love the white feather story so much. 💜
Very enjoyable discussion. Julian never fails to impress me when he talks. He's so relaxed, open and honest. Amazing that to this day it still pains me when john is brought up. What could've been.
most honest and down to earth interview with a Lennon ever! people need to check this show out.
What a great interview. Julian is a talent in his own right. Love to hear him talk and learn more about him.
so genuine. He inspires me as a person and a musician.

Awe, I love Julian! He's so nice!
Interesting that Julian didn't care for the ending of the movie "Yesterday". I actually thought it was wonderful. It basically showed John L. got to live a long peaceful life in the "alt universe". I personally thought it was brilliant. Great movie btw. Great hike yet again Kevin!! Keep it up!!
Thank you for this, Kevin!
Glad they talked about how funny "Get Back" was. John, in particular, but the other three all had their moments. Watching John & Paul goof around was the greatest. And nothing about the way they joked around felt dated, either. It's like their humor felt very current. I challenge anyone to watch the very last scene of the doc, as the credits are rolling, while the band is attempting to film a video for "The Long And Winding Road", and not laugh. It's legitimately hysterical. Again, John, in particular.
This guy is amazing. I love him. We're the same age. He's an amazing underated singer songwriter but it was difficult for him having so famous a dad.
Wow, this show gets better and better!
Kevin, you're a gem! And this is my first time ever really hearing anything Julian had to say, and he seems so lovely!! Thanks for posting, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I'll catch ya next time.
@@dikdik1313 What does him singing have to do with my comment?
@@dikdik1313 No, not in this regard. This was quite a personal conversation Kevin and Julian shared.
I appreciate Julian Lennon. He carries a lot of grace towards the rest of us who were fans of his father and The Beatles...insane as we can be. May he continue nonplussed about the path given to him. 🙏🏼

Thanks for the great content Kevin!
Wow he said Cold Turkey!
One of his Dad's great tunes.
Julian seems like such a straight up guy & a great talent. Kevin, if you ever want to hike in central Illinois look me up!
i love how without hesitation Julian just said "my brother Sean" just an average person like the rest of us and i am impressed how Kevin just seemed to hike effortlessly at 70 years old and that makes me feel guilty , need to get off my tush
Thanks Kevin! Was so nice to see and hear Julian. I look forward to each hike. Steve Perry maybe one day??
i love Julian. How this man is so normal and cool with all he's been through is a mystery to me.
A lot of expensive therapy, I’d imagine.
His mom kept him grounded
Saw u in Fargo a maybe 12-13 years back or so. You Took a pic with my wife after u had dinner. Very very funny guy and kind! Thank you sir!
“Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can’t afford, I can feel you there…”. Valotte is still in my playlist labeled ‘Current Favs’, always was and still is. Brilliant.
Julian Lennon is a wonderful person
Wow, he seems like a genuinely nice man. Over the last few years I enjoyed some of his common sense posts of Twitter.
So good! I have "Too Late For Goodbyes" on a number of playlists! Great interview!
Julian seems like such a beautiful guy. Just incredibly down to earth
So glad you got Julian on the show, he is one of a kind. Shows up to the hike dressed like a rock star, or a biker on a trek through Tibet.

Great interview and I love the casual format.Just wanted to warn you there is an attractive blond following both of you! Glad Julian gave himself the biggest gift of health by quitting smoking and wish him well on future endeavors. Fantastic new batch of songs
Best interview you’ve ever done. Julian is amazing! 🎶🎸❤
🥱
I’m not sure who I thought Julian Lennon was as a person, but I wasn’t expecting this. He appears to be such an intelligent, kind and grounded person. I’m very glad to have seen this interview. Nice work!
By all accounts, he had a fantastic mom who loved him very much. I think that’s why he turned out as well as he seems to have.
Plenty of interviews out there. Always been a great guy
@@ashleigh2491 I’m sure! I just happened to have missed every one of them. Clearly I was missing out!
Have always appreciated Julian's works. He is a humble yet very talented human being. What I love about these treks of Kevin's is how the efforts of the trek break so many of the pretentious barriers of the interview process.

Great job Kevin been wondering a bout Julian and Sean abandonment issues was he on hard times but there he is intelligent talented holding his own would like tosee a walk with Sean have no idea what he all about
Hi Dr
He seems pretty down to earth which is great to see..big fan of John what a legend . Used to be a Julian fan at one point in my 20s too. Nice interview & good to see him happy. My mum & dad met George Harrison once in the 90s on Hamilton Island here in Australia. He was very friendly & kind to them & they have a photo with him aswell .
Interesting to hear Julian's take on the Yesterday scene of his father. It wasn't needed for the storyline, but I think it was needed by a lot of us to feel that John could have lived out a rewarding, contented life that he deserved in return for all that he'd given us.
Only Kevin would ask Julian who his favorite Beatle was.
Julian youre wonderful....wish I could know more about you. We all LOVE you
Love to Julian,all the time.

One of my favorite interviews of Julian was done by his half-brother, Sean, who posted it on-line around this time last year. They've gotten closer over the years, and this interview demonstrates that in ways that will stir your heart. It was good to hear them discuss their childhood experiences, the roles that the other Beatles members played in their lives growing up, the death of their father, how they were affected by it and how they coped with it over the intervening years and how they dealt with the press treating them like they were their father's heir apparent in his absence. Do yourselves a favor and look it up -- the time spent listening will be well worth it!
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize.
It was done as a tribute to what would have been John’s 80th birthday.
I saw it. It was quite a touching thing to watch and listen to. Might have to look it up again.
Crazy how yoko left john's entire estate to sean & julian got 0
do we still say half-siblings?
thank you for posting this I waited along time thank you I Loves Jules
I've been a fan of the guys' music since I heard "Much Too late For Goodbye". I got the feeling that external pressures on him to match what his father had done was too much. It's good to see he's moved right on past any of that and just like his old man, charts his own path in life.
Jude will be a must-have...
(his dad sent him that feather. How cool is that?)
Julian seems lovely. Humble and kind. Sending blessings to him.
Hello Beverly,
How're you doing today ?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
Always interested to see Julian moving along healthy. Good for him
Best interview of Julian I've seen..really enjoyed it...
He’s way more interesting then I anticipated. Haven’t really followed him that much but seems like a genuinely kind down to earth, interesting guy. Especially after all he’s been through. Had to be mentally difficult. Can’t imagine.
