STATE OF MIND with MAURICE BENARD: ERIC BRAEDEN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2022
- Today on State Of Mind is Eric Braeden. Born in Germany during WWII, with a life having been shaped by losing his father at age 12, Eric learned to channel his emotions into sports and later acting.
Having immigrated to the US as a teenage, after college, Eric found roles in dozens of movies and television series. We talk about what it was like working with Marlon Brando, his role in Titanic and as Victor Newman The Young and The Restless. Eric shares few anxious moments before performances and how he was able to overcome it.

Eric Braeden is a legend. He’s got such a great speaking voice. What a storyteller.
Thanks dear!
How are you doing?
I love how two actors talk about their respective roles and craft and enjoyed what they do in this business and both made my childhood.
Sonny Corinthos and Victor Newman, two iconic soap characters, that never been recast, have been family men, and very sweet
Thank You
There is no Y&R without Victor like there is no GH without the REAL Sonny!!!!

2 legends. 😊
When Maurice said this is like the longest dinner that we’re talking through, that’s what I felt.
It was like I was watching it, just a conversation between two people, that had such respect and fondness for each other.
What a great conversation.
Thank you so much Maurice for having Eric on State of Mind.
Thank You
Eric Braeden - you are so loved. Thank you for continuing to be on Y & R. I still can’t get used to your portrait not hanging in Victoria’s office. I want it restored and put up again! Thank you Maurice for this interview.
Thanks 😊
When he said I’m just interested in life, that is mine and my friends conversations everyday I could listen for hours. I’ve meet Eric in person once and never wanted to stop talking to him!❤️
Mr Braeden is one of the most outspoken people on the planet. A fierce intellect. I find him intimidating too.
Yes
This is beautiful two legends just hanging out and having a truthful conversation, love it thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You
Yea, I agree!!!!! ❤️
Two legendary icons sitting in the same room oh, that's just awesome! I love Eric Braeden he's a wonderful actor on Young and the Restless. And Maurice Benard the one and only Sonny Corinthos. YASSSS!
Awesome by Mr. Eric Braeden aka Victor Newman from The Young and the Restless and he has been around on the show for the past 42 years and his soap character has been through a lot of marriages, reconciliations, affairs and divorces on the show. But, his character is still there with Nikki Reed-Newman (Miss Melody Thomas-Scott) as a supercouple of today when the two first fell in love mutually on the show 42 years ago.
@@MBStateOfMind YOU ARE YOU KNOW?
I loved this. Maurice was locked in listening to him speak. Two soap icons. You could feel the respect they both have for each other coming through the screen. Interesting views on how both actors handle anxiety. Two perspectives both extremely helpful to people. Thanks Maurice. This work is amazing!
Thank You
Hi Maureen how are you doing?
❤
Thanks dear,
How are you doing?
just discovered State Of Mind a few weeks ago and thought how cool it would be to have Eric Braeden as a guest. was pleasantly surprised when I saw the notification for this one! could have been 5 hours long and I would have gladly watched every second.
thank you Maurice for being so open and honest with yourself and your struggles. your transparency is refreshing and much appreciated! ❤️🙏
Maurice: You have a knack for getting your guests to open up. Eric Braeden was very engaged and I loved how you two interacted. I always learn so much from watching your program. What an outstanding conversation! Thank you 🙏
I’ve always had that skill since I was a kid
Outstanding interview Maurice with Eric Braden he's such a humble person he opened up about his life born and raised in Germany losing his father at a young age and coming to The US to get his acting career going. Much love to the both of you
Thank You
P pop
An outstanding interview ! Eric was so open and honest. What A cool, tough, strong man he is. You and Eric, both icons of daytime. Thank you Maurice for these great State Of Mind shows. You are helping so many people.
Thank you
Great show,
@@MBStateOfMind Having seen all the Rat Patrol episodes and thinking what a waste of time for Eric as he is much more deeper as both an actor but also as an intellectual. He takes his kraft seriously. There is only one other actor I love to watch and that's Francis McDermott. He like her brings it every time when on screen.
This was definitely one of my favorite STATE OF MINDS… I have Soo much respect for both of you. You both make DAYTIME SOAPS what they are today. Amazing to watch. I wish there was a part 2, 3, 4 etc. w/Mr. Braeden. Thank you Maurice for doing these.
thank you for commenting on my fan page.. l appreciate your love and support towards my career ♥️♥️
I’m so impressed with Mr. Braeden. His Attitude on life is wonderful, not to mention he’s a sexy 80 year old. Oooooh! Thank you. I enjoyed listening to his stories and he definitely needs a part 2,3,and 4. He’s so interesting to listen to , love his accent. Maurice, Eric was your therapy for the day. 😂 Thank you, Maurice and Eric for a great Sunday talk. God Bless you both. ♥️
Absolutely
Eric Braeden looks good at 80
Maurice Bernard you are a phenomenal actor , love you on General Hospital and I think your state of mind channel is incredible and brutally honest. It’s awesome!
Thank You 😊
Your welcome! Without a doubt you are one of the few that could never be replaced! Your awesome as Sonny Corinthos!
Thank-you again Maurice for bringing Eric on. I love his no nonsense gritty attitude. With Eric anything is possible so here’s hoping he’s on Y&R until he’s surpassed 100 years of age. I amongst many appreciate the extra time, effort, excruciating pain that the cast and crew put into gracing our TV’s. Also nothings wrong Maurice with feeling restless about your career. We hear you.
Hi Ann how are you doing?
We're for that!
That interview with Eric was amazing. I wanted more, being a fan of both GH and Y&R i enjoyed every moment. Maurice please try to get Michelle Stafford on State of Mind.
Thank You 😊
What a fantastic interview! I've watched these 2 guys on TV for decades and have totally enjoyed their performances. Sonny was always one of my favourite characters. This was mesmorizing!
I totally know how you feel about acting, when it’s such a deep and emotional part where it actually hurts in your gut. It almost feels like I’ve been socked in the stomach and it takes so much out of me. I thought I was the only one that experienced that. Thank you for State of Mind!
Eric is a legend . Been watching him since I was a kid watching RAT PATROL!!!👍👍👍👍
I watched that too! I recognized him when he came on Y&R under a different name
I watched it too
It's always refreshing hearing from Maurice, These guests are very good
😎
Daytime has been very lucky to have had someone like Eric Braeden for this long, a living icon
Hey Maurice I’m your biggest fan here in the Bay Area and as I watch you on tv daily I always wondered if your character was really going thru this. Thank you so much for sharing your story and helping others.
I don't watch GH anymore, but I watch this. Because it HELPS.Thank you
Love General hospital
Two of my favorite soap opera stars! Much love!
Have you watched Rat Patrol? He changed his name after that.
@@MaryAnnMsbl34 Yes, l forgot about that. He was so young then. I also watched him in The Planet of the Apes.
WOW!!!!! I think this will be a fascinating one!!!! Eric spoke out a few times after the death of Kristoff St. John. AND...you could see his genuine sadness and acknowledged the role that BOTH...BRYTON JAMES who plays Devon and DOUG DAVIDSON who plays Paul Williams who were often there for Kristoff dealing with the tragic loss of his son, and were there I believe, when Kristoff St. John was put on a 24 hour watch for being suicidal at one point after the loss of his son.
@Tammy Boon, that was so sad.
@@ms.diva2u22 YEA...it was VERY SAD!!!!! Still remember watching the Daytime Emmys after his passing. I'm sure EVERYONE CRIED!!!!! Still remember when Shemar Moore spoke at the Day Time Emmys, and referred to Kristoff St. John as the Denzel of Day Time. AND talked about how Kristoff had taken him under his wings when he was so young and starting out at
Y & R and said, "There would be no Shemar Moore with Kristoff St. John." I think he handed out, the last award, the soap opera that won that year for being the best.
AND for some reason, Eric Braeden was on a few interviews and was asked how they were all doing?!?! You could see that it affected Eric as his eyes filled up with tears. How you know and you didn't, and how he didn't always know how Kristoff was doing. BUT...he always would names those 2 guys who were there for him 100%.
thank you for all you do. for us anxiety and depression folks we need this
Yes We Do💯💯
Great interview with Mr Eric from Young and the Restless, he is a great actor. God bless the both of your 🙏😇❤
Maurice, I could see in your eyes, expression the respect and admiration you have for Eric Braeden. I absolutely love these personal conversations you have with people. So beautiful. Thank you!
Thank You
Great interview ❤
I love Eric Braeden even more now! Powerful personality!
Thanks 😊
another great session, I like that Eric asked Maurice questions, I think what I enjoy so much about state of mind is that with people like Eric ,it's doesn't feel like an interview, but it feels like an equal conversation,
That was my intent thank you
This was so great to see the two of you together. Legends in the business. Having such a real conversation, great conversation. Thank you for sharing.
Unbelievable actor and his career is astounding! So good! He's the best in the biz! Thank you for having Eric on!
♥️♥️♥️
Lovely discussion today I could of sit another hour just listening to the both of you. Great great show.
Thank You
I really loved the interview! My two favorite actors in daytime! Keep up the great work ❤️
Not only should he get accolades he should get respect
Maurice, I am the same age as you are, and I truly believe our journey's aren't over. It seems that maybe you are being called in another direction. To help those who struggle with mental health. It doesn't mean you have to give up acting, but maybe let it take a back seat for awhile as you pursue another passion.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Interesting, emotional, and entertaining ~ all at the very same time.
Great conversation, so genuine. ☺ Many thanks to you both.
This is always the best part of my Sunday afternoons ♥
Thanks
This was great!! Love Eric Braeden!! Wonderful!!🌟✨
These two brilliant actors. Maurice your changing the world one day at a time. Another great episode another favorite. Eric very curagious !
Two amazing men right here! This was so meaningful watching you both!
thank you for commenting on my fan page.. l appreciate your love and support towards my career ♥️♥️
I couldn’t stop watching. So much reality in the conversation. Real people who are amazing at what they do . Love that separation of their everyday person and their characters . Let’s you know how good they really are. Two of my favourites, keep it going
Thank you Maurice, it was so nice to listen to you and Eric! ❤️❤️
It was the honesty for me they are real people 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great interview
Eric is blessed to be able to function at his level. 😊
Maurice Bernard and Eric braeden are so cool they are the best
Maurice should do a part 2 of Eric's episode.
Beautiful Conversation between to great men and legends ❤
That was incredible! Loved hearing about everything Eric has done. What an interesting life he has had. Wonderful conversation. Thank you Maurice for State of Mind and all you do 😊❤️
❤️
Hi how are you doing?
Maurice - you explained anxiety and panic attacks perfectly!! I have had debilitating anxiety since I was 18 years old, I am now 62. I am finally on the right medication that keeps the anxiety under control. I am on Sertraline, Alprazolam and Quitiapine for my bi-polar.
Eric is right - it is an imprisonment!!
Eric is SO SPOT ON about the soap world being the hardest business for actors to be in - you all deserve the UTMOST respect for your talents! I've been watching Y&R since 1978! ❤
This was spectacular...too many great moments to touch on. I'm so, so happy to see two great men in one gorgeous space sharing topics that men aren't always comfortable with historically.
I grew up watching Victor Newman and Sonny Corinthos. Victor (Mr Braeden) from very young. So intersting to hear his experiences with the stage and fear and anger on his youth. His insight into Marlon Brando I believe are right on
I remember watching Brando's Connie Chung interview and even though it was a bit uncomfortable (I could see that sadistic streak) it turned out fascinating and he became very gracious as the interview progressed.
Thank you both so much.
To Mr Bernard, you are a legend who has by the genius of his creativity, the skill of his "chops" developed and mastered and brought to life a world wide known character adored by millions. If YOU can feel performance anxiety (or any kind of anxiety to the point of shaking) it makes so much more legitimate my own and prooves the chemical aspect of bipolar. I personally believe it comes from having volatile, unpredictable circumstamces in childhood where the pendulum would swing between safety and comfort or love or happiness and fear aggression and violence (whether physical or mental) and your hormones as well as your behavior become stuck in these patterns and cycles that are tied to reality and your very survival.
I'm so sorry for the length of this. I just enjoyed it so much. 🙏🙏
Thank you for this amazing comment
@@MBStateOfMind 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
Omg their acting styles always remember me of each other. I would love to see them on screen together. This is fantastic.
Such a great interview today with two icon soap stars. As always thanks Maurice for all you do.
Great conversation between two acting legends. Thank you for this state of mind episode.
🌹
Eric has so much life experience. I would have been happy to hear more! Thanks to both of you.
You both are legends and I am so very proud of you both ❤️❤️❤️
When I say this was the highlight of my Day 🤩💯💯💕💕💕. I really don’t want it to end. I love the Conversation between These two Giants in the industry. Thank You So Much Maurice so much. I have loved 🥰 Eric Before he started on Y&R. He is So Right when he says be proud of What you Do. The Work that You And Eric put in is Greatly Apreciated. And We Your Fans Know that it’s the hardest to do. I hope you have a chance to have him back on the show Again. Once Again Thank You Maurice 💯
Thank You
Hi Gwen how are you doing?
@@josephboyet5701 Fine and You
My two favourites had an awesome conversation. Just finished listening/watching. ❤
Eric is A Real Man! He has it all what it takes ! Fabulous interview! I truly enjoyed it !
All the Best to you Maurice for that interview! ❤️❤️❤️
I love both of these iconic actors. Maurice I loved U since Ur portrayal of Nico Kelly on AMC. And the ONLY actor that nailed Desi Arnaz. Loved Eric since The Rat Patrol and have watched him since day one as Victor Newman. A role that was meant for him to portray.❤❤❤
Thank You
I love his voice
I just love State of Mind....look forward to every one of them. I also love Eric Braeden!! Awesome interview....
Thanks
LOVE LOVE LOVE....this was so interesting! I love Eric...he's is such a dynamic presence! Keep up the good work.
I know that feeling of anxiety. I am told I am really good at what I do but I always feel anxious about it. So like you, I try to control it before it comes
❤️🥊❤️
What a blessing to have you both here. I have never watched nor do I know this man, but he is well spoken and just amazing.
Maurice this is wonderful! Eric, you are in my prayers for healing and complete recovery! Wth Love ❤
Loved this!! I would like to hear him do more and talk about working with Melody. ❤️
Yea ❤️❤️❤️
Remember Melody was w Tippi Hedren right,!
I'm going to have to read his book. I was a surprise to my parents that were both 46 when I was born, and my daddy was fighting in Germany for the US Army during WWII, so that period of history has held a special symbolism for me because of it. I can't imagine being a child in that environment, and it must have been hell. I absolutely LOVED the BTS stuff from Titanic - that was amazing!! That's honestly one of the best comprehensive movies I've ever seen...from the legit reproduction of the ship, to the chilling sound effects, to the kick ass casting, it truly is a marvelous film. This was such a fantastic interview - I truly enjoyed it so much. Thank you for putting it together and sending it our way. Much love to y'all from TX ❤️
Thank You
Michael Zaslow and Anthony Herrera, both AMAZING actors, and fabulous people people, might be gone...thank GOD Eric is still around...FABULOUS actor, so amazing...acting is acting...DAMN, he does it so well...and for decades...like, decades
This is two of the best soap icons of all time
Outstanding interview- two icons and so professional on & off the screen ! Well done!
thank you for commenting on my fan page.. l appreciate your love and support towards my career ♥️♥️
Such a fascinating discussion. Eric Braeden is a legend, and I’m so amazed by his life story and all the experiences he shared!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for reminding us that we are not alone - there is a community for you to reach out to. For me it is depression and anxiety.
Easily one of my favorite State of Minds to date.
So inspiring. Makes me want to act! (In an age discrimatory world….impossible!). These legends started out young and aren’t we glad they did!!!
Thanks
