- There has never been another actor quite like Steve McQueen. From his tough-guy looks to his penchant for fast cars and dangerous stunts, McQueen lived a life as fast and hard as any of the characters he played on screen. So, what kind of life shapes a man like Steve McQueen? Turns out, this legendary actor lived through a lot.

He is still my favourite actor. Still love him and respect him.
The King of Cool a great actor i loved all his movie roles.Bullet,Nedva Smith, Papillon, The CiñnatinKid.RIP
HE WAS AWESOME!!!
My Hero, The Good, the Bad & the Cool. May He R.I.P.
When Steve McQueen died at 50 in 1980, I cried my eyes out and I thought he was old. Today that I’m 52, i think that he was a kid.
He used it all up... his body looked more like late 60s... Too much booze, too much sun...
He lived pretty hard from the very start like andywells says here. That multiplies your time like dog years.
Ok but was still pretty cool, sopoo.
Me 2. 😢😊
Perspective
If he became a "private" in the navy that really is incredible. 😂
When Bruce Lee says Steve was Very Tough n Macho Type of Man you should take his word for it lol ☯️
He had a tough childhood and was in the military. I imagine he really was a tough guy. So good in every role.
Apparently he was a real @sshole to work with
Once he made it big, he always made sure his movie contracts had clauses that made sure Boys Republic received items they needed.
MCQUEEN was a MARINE not a Squid he played one in the movie the sand Pebbles. In 1947, after receiving permission from his mother (since he was not yet 18 years old), McQueen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He was sent to Parris Island for boot camp.[2]: 106 [21][22] He was promoted to private first class and assigned to an armored unit.[7] He initially struggled with conforming to the discipline of the service and was demoted to private seven timesremembered his period with the Marines as a formative time in his life, saying, "The Marines made a man out of me. I learned how to get
Semper-Fi, Man.
Do you know what a marine without the navy is? A bathtub toy. I don’t have a real opinion, both the posturing is hilarious. It’s just PR to make you work harder. Maybe marines are deaf…..they said he was a marine
Steve McQueen was a real man
As opposed to what?🤣
@@Roz-y2d Guys who aren't.
A "FALSE" man ????? yuk yuk
Fascinating video Thanks. I didn't know about his early life. He really made good after that!
McQueen joined the Marine Corps!
Steve and I were both beat, and both had to leave home because of it. We also made up our minds that it would never happen again.
Ha, me too. We can walk away when we’re older.❤
Except one was famous and the other isn’t.
Over here,in the UK we as kids thought Steve was great because he rode motor bikes. Triumph aa well and love the film on any Sunday. Steve and his bikes rip Steve.
I was most impressed after the Manson killings, while celebrities were getting out of town or holding up intheir homes, STEVE BOUGHT A .357 MAGNUM, CARRIED IT and WENT ON WITH HIS LIFE..RIP STEVE
STILL DIGGIN YOUR FLICKS
His son Chad was in the Karate Kid movie. I am surprised that you didn't mention the movie The Towering Inferno. Steve and Paul Newman did not get along.
Didn't mention that little movie Steve did with Jackie Gleason called SOLDIER IN THE RAIN either. Not a box office smash, but it had it's funny moments.
He wasn't in the Navy, he was a Marine! That photo was ftom the Sandpipers. It's when he was assigned to deal with removal of asbestos which is how he contracted Mesot.
@rickcheever6794 THE SAND PEBBLES. The Sandpiper a diff film w Burton, Liz, Sue Lyon w "The Shadow Of Your Smile" J. MANDEL Oscar win theme.
If you are going to post content you need to check for errors: was he a model marine or seaman? Otherwise l enjoyed your post.
Breathing asbestos in the Navy is what killed him.
He died of mesothelioma?
@@iggbowmon3171it's a condition of Asbestos poisoning!! The vessels were built with it. SM and many many more suffered from Mesothelioma😢
@@iggbowmon3171yes. He was forced to remove tons of insulation from the hull of a ship as punishment for going awol as I understand
It also didnt help that he had a 3-4 pack a day cigarette addiction.@@kylemcmullan
Steve was a Marine. Not a sailor.
McQueen came to faith in Jesus near the end of his life. He found forgiveness.
Doubt it. Sinners never repent.
@@sulevisydanmaa9981 I did.
(1 Timothy 1:15-16) "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. {16} Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting."
A Giant of the screen and an American Icon.He made anything he was in better.He died way too soon.God rest him
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great actor and driver 😊
A visit to the morgue can be shocking. I attended quite a few autopsies so became somewhat accustomed to it, but I’ve been retired since ‘97 and today it would be a shock for me.
made their blood run cold...SPOILER . he walked into the morgue with an apple... that's it... did not even see a body....when I was 22 a woman jumped on the tracks in front of the subway train I was on... I waited till they brought her out... her head removed brain on her face... I went home and had lunch... I did not know how I felt at such a sight but it did not rattle me... but a sparrow with a broken wing can make me weep...
A heart throb from the late 60's!!! Just a great actor
He was an amazing guy. I wasn’t very old when he died but I remember how upset my older brother was. It was so sad. He had so much more to give. It’s funny but we still say, “You drive just like Steve McQueen!” When somebody squeals their tires or spins a donut. That is an Icon.♥️
In the end, God sets the time limits.
One of the cops that McQueen was learning from was Dave Toschi, the same cop involved with the Zodiac killer investigation. McQueen also chose to wear his shoulder holster in the same way as Toschi.
Dirty Harry was also based on Det Toschi
a far better driver than James Dean!
Mr. Cool.
Steve was a result of his misfortune upbringing sadly enough he didn't realize this at all.
I'm a Former Marine {coincidence?} while I was in, I was working with a volunteer rescue squad in Jacksonville NC. While studying for EMT-I we had to watch a video {from Duke Med} about an autopsy {for Doctors}. After a few minutes, we get a delivery guy.
I'd ordered a pizza...
Some were NOT amused.
I didn't have a tough childhood.But I've had this cough since 2009.....
Go see a doctor.
McQueen did all his own stunts as well as act!
Wasn’t great at anything much though eh.
Except the jump in great escape. Too much risk for the studio to let him make the big jump.
I loved the blob.
Some people do everything they can to destroy their health in their younger years, and only begin to appreciate their vitality and their time on earth once they have destroyed it and are facing eminent death.
The medical system, treatments and medications can only do so much. We have to also do our part with maintaining healthy living habits and avoiding risky behaviors if you want to enjoy your senior years and hang around a little longer.
He served in the NAVY during WARTIME, and, there is ASBESTOS in the PAINT of Naval Ships...So, some may want to attribute the cancer to SMOKING, and NOT take INTO ACCOUNT the ASBESTOS in the Navy Ship PAINT.
When the Naval Ship's PAINT CHIPPED in situations of wear and tear OR
run-of-the-mill DAMAGE to the WALLS of the SHIP, due to ENEMY artillery fire, then the Sailors suffer EXPOSURE to ASBESTOS.
As for the Mexican Doctor QUACK....Steve should've researched numerous Country's NATURAL CURE THERAPISTS, instead of just One.
And, BTW, The Narrator labels any "Alt Therapist" who DOESNT PRACTICE AMA Pill Popping,
as a "Quack".
Look up Dr. Berzynski and FDA Scandal for a glimpse into how medecine is REGULATED, CENSORED, KEPT OUT OF AMERICAN'S CHOICES.
One truly gifted performer,and one who didn't even need to know how to act. Brando, Redford ect they are the actors but MC,queen,he was s star.
Steve was also supposed to attend a 'party' at Sharon Tate's home, on that fateful night, but went elsewhere to party. Fortunately.
PFC in the Navy? Come on, there. That's basic knowledge, not research knowledge. How can we trust any other bit of this now?
Wait. And now he's a Marine? Seriously. Now I doubt everything you publish.
❤ Steve McQueen😢
He was a United States Marine . AI sucks!
McQueen wasn't "promoted to Private First Class", that's an army rank, not navy or coast guard.
He was advanced to Seaman 2nd Class after he completed training. Standard in those days.
He was a marine. And yes he was pvt in the Marine corp. Not army not a seaman in Navy and not Air Force.
@@wallybraveheart6896 , yes but not a "Private First Class" as the narrator said.
He was also a Merchant Marine, Seaman 2nd Class.
Private First Class is also a Marine Corp rank!
My father was a marine Private First Class also called Lance Corporal @@patrickkelley6212
He was a marine, not navy!
I hope the doc got whats coming to him, but doubt it.
He did a lot of things he shouldn't have done, including mistreating women, but he was finally getting it together when he got the mesothelioma diagnosis. I remember it like it was yesterday. McQueen wanted so much to live that he was willing to do anything to make that happen. Sadly, he passed. His daughter also died young. His first wife, Neile Adams Toffel, is still alive as of this post (8-24-24) and is 92 years old.
Stupid headline, just a potted history of the actor!!
A very interesting and well presented show, but why did you have to resort to clickbait? If you hadn't resorted to clickbaiting me, I would have liked and subscribed to your channel. Not all your viewers are suckers.
As punishment while in the navy he was made to clean duct work full of asbestos
Loved him!!!
OMG, "Mamie" is pronounced "May-mee" not "Mammy"
This AI gets loads more wrong! The script was probably written by the same AI.
We don’t have “private first class”, in the U.S. Navy. Was McQueen in the Navy, or the Marines?
He was a marine
He joined the marines, not the navy. The navy doesn’t have the rank Private First Class. You show footage of him from movies in naval uniform, which he never would have worn as a marine.
The studio is Warner Brothers, not bros… that is an abbreviation and no one called them bros!
He treated his wife and kids like shit. That's not a real man .
Steve McQueen was both a U.S. Marine and a Merchant marine. He was a Marine for three years and a Merchant Marine for about three months. Merchant marine first.
Mammy Van Doren ? Did she ever cook Steve any pancakes?
MAYME not MAMMY... so I'm thinking AI voiceover....
😂😂
I had NO idea Ali McGraw is the age she is now 😐 I swear I honestly thought she was much younger 😒
Steve McQueen joined the U S. Marine Corp, not the Navy, where he served for three years.
How many times do you have to say Steve McQueen? 🤦
"Merc-yer-ul". Lol.
Um. No.
Try "Mer-cure-ee-ul". Loosly rhymes with "material".
"Ash-fault". Nope. Try "@ss-fault".
I've been to the morgue many a times, one gets used to it.
He died of a heart attack . His cancer was in remission , the "quack" was actually saving his life .
His cancer wasn't in remission, he was having massive tumors removed from his stomach, liver, neck and getting his right lung removed when he died of the heart attack.
The quack you mentioned was actually an orthodontist that was giving him coffee enemas and daily injections of fluid containing live cells from cattle and sheep and Laetrile a supposedly and anti-cancer drug available only in Mexico but long known to be ineffective and Toxic in treating cancer.
He was a lifetime 2 pack cigarette smoker that also smoked Marijuana every day, did cocaine, every psychedelic drug available and drank like a fish.
This video is highly inaccurate.
At 0.36 s et lose the contrôle of the mustang to percuté the parking car ?
Cooler king, he should have spent more time in a fridge.
It seems that just about everybody who worked with McQueen - directors, actors, and stage hands - thought he was an arrogant pr$$k.
He should have spent more time with good actors and he may then have gained acting skills so he could have played someone other than Being Steve McQueen…. Ho did get very good at playing Steve McQueen though in every movie he ever did. Never liked him for generic actors I preferred John Wayne.
"Mammy" Van Doren?
It's Mamie Van Doren!
I don't get it. He never seemed "cool." Good actor though. The first movie I saw him in was The Great Escape and he seemed kinda dork.
It was back when America was mostly gringo...
Considering there were no Americans in the real Great Escape
The fact that the morgue didn't bother him doesn't impress me. A morgue is quiet and the dead are dead. Murder victims, burn victims, decomps. I visited the Los Angeles morgue about 4 times. I saw a lot of bodies who met their end brutally. Hardly affected me. Now an emergency room on a bad night will rattle me. Kids getting hurt, really f's me up. McQueen led a badass life, though. Tough guy, for sure.
