- "You know, I can't do this forever," said Robert Redford. At 82 he's starring in a new film, "The Old Man & the Gun." It's based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, a lifelong outlaw who escaped from nearly every prison he was confined to, continuing to rob banks well into his late 70s. Lee Cowan catches up with the Oscar-winning actor-director, who talks about his decision to retire from acting - but hardly retiring from life.

I met Robert Redford in California when I was in college & working as a waitress. He's an incredibly warm, genuine kind & down to earth man.
Everyone should be like him ❤️
@@bradredford4846 your last name is Redford, are you related to him?
wOULD YOU BET YOUR LIFE ONTHAT STATEMENT!
So jealous....
I get that impression from his interviews J loved him in the movie with Barbara Streisand The way we were. My favorite part was when she would touch his hair.
WOW he still sounds so young when he speaks, his voice is still very clear... I bet he hardly smokes...
Has a very youthful voice for 82
Decent voice with a pleasant tone.
Saw that movie. Wasn't bad.
Now that you mention it, yes, he does ' sound ' young!! Alot of the 'older' actors TODAY, are talking with that raspy, scratchy sound!! I don't know if they really would sound that way or they're emphasizing it! Sounds awful on some, and they're not quite as old as Redford!!
Looks like a lumberjack.
.
He does
What I've always admired about this actor is his coolness; the power he finds in silence, in stillness, in pauses; like Steve McQueen (especially in Bullitt) but even more so. This is a guy who is a little wary, who doesn't easily trust. You could imagine a back-story where his character was deeply hurt and as a result likes to keep the world at a certain distance.
He'll build tension by dropping the volume of his voice and making you wait for what he'll say because you need to know what he'll say, which is a function of his magnetism; you're drawn in. This is not a guy who is hot or flamboyant, who acts out or chews the scenery.
That wariness and distance, that fundamental aloneness, was one reason he was so effective in Jeremiah Johnson, The Natural and 3 Days of the Condor, because it heightened the mystery behind his character and it's also why he was so good in The Candidate, because he fought so hard NOT to be the glad-hander that his handlers demanded he become.
What a stunning way to describe a person and an actor. That way about him shines throughout all his roles. Thank you for the way you put it. Very apt
True that.
Incredible respect for the man! Such a wonderful actor! I remember watching 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' with my Dad. Watching 'Out of Africa' a thousand times, and the marathon of his movies on cable. His work with the NRDC, preserving open space and corridors for wildlife! He's a wonderful guy, and incredibly talented actor and director! Thanks Bob for a lifetime of memories!
Wow Bob Redford still looks good..... Keep on going Bob....
I was in a movie with him when I was a kid. Mr. Redford was incredibly nice to me and we played catch with the baseball for awhile.
was it the natural? what'd you do in the film?
Yeah? Which movie was it? 🤟
when you listen to this guy talk thru all the years, about how he feels and the way he handles himself..you're looking at a truly decent human being in a lot more ways than one..he's spot on 'The Actors Studio' shines is a great example.
He is truly a handsome man and a gentleman too 🤗
He is into satanic things.
@@starlite556 how do u know?
@@starlite556 Absolute b.s. , what proof do you have? Do you know him personally?
The absolute best. God love him. So talented. Yet. So, very humble. His art has meant so much to me throughout the course of my life. We absolutely love you, Mr. Redford.
Where can I see his art ??
One of the GREATEST male actors of all time.😘 I've cried many a tear, laughed, and rejoiced to his films and absolutely loved every minute of the joy and sorrow.👍🤟
Not to mention "VERY easy on the eyes!!"
Absolutely gorgeous at any age... physically, intellectually, environmentally, socially, financially and in basic civility. To think, he grew up just a few blocks away, just a couple of decades before. A Renaissance man. The ideal + a smile that melt ones inhibitions.
Robert Redford in his day was absolutely gorgeous....just stunning...you could not take your eyes off him when he was on the screen...
When you put him and Brad Pitt together at the same ages it's amazing how much they resemble each other. Age is a horrible thing. Not just looks. LIFE itself. Just when you think you have it figured out, its time to go.
@@whynot2644 Only difference? Lips. Same DNA?
Hello Susette how are you doing today?
Yeah, but he was more than that....he was great in so many movies. .
Love him so much & grateful for all the joy he's provided for so many years!
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Mr. Redford is not only the definition of handsome now and in his early years but his voice is what completely makes me so vulnerable to him. His acting is so authentic as well and i get mesmerized by him then and now. I can't wait to see his current film it looks really great!!!!
He just might be the best looking male redhead I've ever seen.
Hello Joy; wish you had met my Dad.
Blonde in his younger days. Sun bleached surfer dude look. Always handsome.
Well, he has worn wigs for many decades...
@@dstorm7752 It doesn't matter, even if it's true.
He's even better looking in person which often isn't the case.
He is such an inspiration and still very humble - something that the large majority of modern ‘celebrities’ have no clue about. What a rare talent he has been.
Hello Cathy how are you doing today?
Love him. So authentic. Smart. Beautiful soul...we've been blessed to watch his work.
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Hello Melanie
Authentic !!!! he has had more plastic surgery than any of them. Im still waiting for him to move to canada
Hello Melanie how are you doing today?
One of the most charming and handsome men, ever 😍

Keep going strong with your loved ones.

Hello Maria
Hello Maria how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Hello Maria how are you doing today?
@Robert Redford will you make another movie soon Mr.Redford,?
I don't know if he ever did a better film or performance as an actor than Jeremiah Johnson. God, that's a fine film.
Damn straight
aww love him, still handsome after all these yrs :)
Thanks for all the great movies Mr .Redford. You are one of the Greats.
There is nothing about this gentleman that is any less than than truly inspiring... They just don’t make them like this that often- a legendary figure!
Excellent actor I thought he was under estimated because people were so taken up with his good looks. My favorites: The Sting & All the President's Men. :)
Lol, "underestimated" He has got to be one of the most overrated actors of all time. He can only play one role; unemotional. Since acting is about portraying emotions he's not very good.
Ed His 2nd film Situation Hopeless...but not serious (1965)
@Barbara...Did you see him in "This property is condemned"?
@@jonathanmosher72 Try another look. Often "stoic" works! Charles Bickford and Richard Widmark, and John Garfield.
@@jonathanmosher72 Hey, Jonathan. Bogey and Joan Crawford never "acted" then. But something worked. They were around a long time, weren't they?
Robert, ti amo. Seriously. You are wonderful, always.
He almost single handedly championed the independent film movement. All by itself that is a huge accomplishment for which we should be grateful. The studio system of the decades before Sundance was NOT good for the art, the artists, or the audience.
He's not a redhead, he's a strawberry blond. I love him.
Estella; you got that right.
I read where he wears a weave of some sort. All that hair isn't' his.
@@carpediem6568
I'm sure it's his. He bought and paid for it. Who would rent or lease their hair pieces?
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
@Robert Redford I've seen every single movie you've acted in and directed. My favorite movie of all time is:
"Out of Africa". I love the Social messages, emotional, down to earth feeling and cinematography of all your movies.
Robert Redford is a total class act. One of the all-time greats.
He is a satanic pos.
Robert Redford deserves to win an Oscar before he retires
You do mean 'another Oscar' right?
He won for director "Ordinary People" 1980
Seriously...
My favorite actor of all time. When watching his films, at no time did I ever feel like he was acting, hes so believable and sincere. I find it interesting that his choice of living conditions and location would be similar to what i would do if I was financially independent. Beautiful country living away from the big cities.
Hes a very intelligent man and I hope he is around for many more years, acting or not.
Brilliant man, director and actor ! A true natural! ❤️

He had a scene in "All the President's Men" where the camera was on him for over 6 minutes. No editing. That's amazing.
Hello
Hello Amanda how are you doing today?
We will miss him and his talent.
To echo a comment below, the guy has the best speaking voice in show business. Does not sound like an elderly person.
I love watching old Perry Mason and recently noticed Mr. Redford in that very episode. I was interested to note that it was made the year that I was born, 1959.

Hello Sandy how are you doing today?
Loved him and Paul Newman in The Sting - one of my all time favorite movies.
Me too I wish they had some more movies together. I loved them in the movie butch cassidy and the Sundance kid.
I'm glad he got the 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award. He earned it. I loved him in "The Sting". We used to see his movies at the Cinema at Wilson Road & Valleyview Dr.. It's torn down now.
It feels good to see a actor act and feels normal and original. Good looking man.
He is charming, calm and in every movie there is a hint of naughtiness in his face...
Awww, Zoe, that was so nice to read about Robert Redford. I love it when they turn out to be nice people. I've been a big fan of Robert Redford since early 60s. The Chase, Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Angie Dickenson. I think. A cast of many.his first movie I think. Good movie. He did a Twilght Zone episode, a Perry Mason. The Untouchables, with Robert Stack TV show, about the 20s 30s Phrobition. Then all these great movies. He is still a heartthrob to me. ❤❤🤗🥰

A Perry Mason. A Twilght Zone. The Virginian, Western TV show. Then Movies with Robert Redford. Silly me. Enjoy your Holidays. Bye now 🎄🎄🤗🥰☃️
@@leslieawest5062 I'm good. It's really good to hear from you
@@leslieawest5062 Where are you currently located from?
Class act
hard to pick a favorite Redford Film, 3 Days of the Condor, is certainly on that list!
That was his best movie

Thank You, Robert Redford ~ hero to me and to many .
Redford... a Legendary Actor and Benefactor. We love him. We miss him.
Miss him?
Im glad he squeezed in Endgame before he finished acting😌my favorite Redford movie is All the President's Men
Jeremiah Johnson ...saw it on the big screen when I was 14. still my favorite movie.
Me too
True to who he is! First class 🌟
Classy guy.
A favorite
He’s got the most wonderful sensuous voice.
Robert Redford is a wonderful actor I love his moves. Love him as as a cowboy..💖❤️

Beautiful man
Hello Natalie
Some of these nasty comments under this video sound like sour grapes. Robert Redford throughout his career has been not only extremely good looking but an excellent actor. He strikes me as an intelligent man with sound values. What have the those dis-respecting him accomplished?
He's a good looking guy, but he's not a stellar actor. I thought this was common knowledge.
His voice is as a lullaby which Jane seems to have no problem destroying, but anyway, we know what he's really doing, and are extremely grateful.
Redford is such a cool guy. Now in his 80’s he looks very good, he has charm and elegance. A man that young people can admire and look up to. I hope he will still continue to make movies.
Gosh simply great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks
I've always adored the lovely human being.........

Hello Annette how are you doing today?
May I please introduce to my mother, she turns 82 on the first day of Spring, 2020. Thank you my good sir! (She still has a sincere crush on you since 1960)....love to call you my stepdad😎👊 btw, I have many good stories of Eastern, Kentucky where our family owns over 160 acres since 1850...many possibilities for a great film! Especially, early bootlegers....I know all the mysterious stories😃👊 You are a good...great man, I honor you!
He's married to Sibylle Szaggars Redford.
Hi Robert always loved you🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hello
Hello Katherine how are you doing today?
I love Robert Redford in Out Of Africa!!. 😊
Great guy. A true legend and intelectual.
I love Robert Redford and I love his movies
He deserves to retire , and do his own thing , loved him in INDECENT PROPOSAL 🎉
He, in my opinion was miscast in that role
Warren Beatty was first offered the role, but turned it down. He would have been a better fit
Love you, Uncle Bob. Hopefully, you'll still be hitting Bishops Bowl at Sundance.
I’ve skied most of the resorts in Utah but Bishop’s Bowl at Sundance since they put in that back chair lift is still one of my all time favorites. The wind will blow drifting waist deep pow into it and Far East runs and there is not much finer skiing anywhere. Back side of Mt. Timpanogas views are just as awesome. Being It doesn’t hurt either that it’s only 30 minutes from my house near the mouth of Provo Canyon! ⛷💨
He is probably I think one of the best actors who ever lived, a legend.& he's so classy & handsome( his persona).😊
What a great interview! Enjoyed it very much.. If you haven't seen a Walk in the Woods with Nick Nolte.. your really missing something.. loved it.. His caliber of acting will be missed. I hope he does more interviews... if not acting because i will miss his face and his strength of character as well..

Hello Deb how are you doing today?
ROBERT REDFORD DEFINITION OF HANDSOME...WOOOOOOOOW
Redford is one of the very few legends from the late 60s through early 80s that did not make any action films.One of only a hand full of actors in that era,whom made period year films. The Sting,B.C.an S.K.,Great Gatsby,The Natural,J.J.,Tell them Willie Boy is here.
The Great Waldo Pepper
Such a handsome man. Inside and out.
Seems like a very nice unaffected man
Like Paul Newman true legends
Yup
My favorite actor!
Redford was and still is a thoroughbred ..........he will go the distance .......it is an interesting perspective .......go to you just can't go ......no mo'..............sounds good to me ...........if you take the time to study his work ........it is so varied ...........Redford is a film ARTIST .......in the truest sense of the word ...........I have enjoyed his life work .......its that simple.
Such a talented man.
I admire him as well. He has had to overcome a lot of personal tragedies.
Definitely a Legend
If human life is all about trade offs, then how do we fare?
We lose our of youthful looks and replace them with wisdom that’s new to us.
It’s a good trade.
In the mirror we see peeping back at us eyes that are wiser.
More thoughtful.
Others have more.
More years to spend.
Yesterday with the beauty of our youth we convinced all.
But today with it gone we can’t command them like we did in days gone by.
As our beauty fades they seek us out less and less.
But we can think.
We can reflect.
Old soldiers never die.
They just fade away.
Until they do,
they are happy with the way things are.
Live to 100 Bob.
Best Redford film to me is "the natural" but then, "god i love baseball"
Love that he refuses make up when doing his latest films. Accepting what is.
I remember his role of Mr Death on Twilight Zone
That's interesting that he played Mr Death as Brad Pitt played Death in Meet Joe Black. Pitt was inevitably compared to Robert Redford in the 90s and worked with him twice. (A River Runs Through It and Spy Game).
Yes, that episode was a classic. I've recalled a number of past lives and I try to tell people how painless death is. I often refer to that very episode, as it illustrates how much people fear death, yet it is so painless....just like getting out of bed and walking to the front door.
Hello Donna how are you doing today?
The Great Waldo Pepper was my favorite.
Me too
He’s a classy man , great actor, uncommon mind.
One of the very best and an American Treasure...
Thankyou Robert for all of the movies that you were in.. And I do own a DVD of the Walk In The Woods which I really like.. It was hard to find even online lol...
One helluava an actor, beautiful to look at.
Hello Terry how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
