I think this is the original John ... Very handsome
Yes good point .
my favorite Beatle
My favorite Beatle as well
That's the John Lennon I choose to remember
me too
yep
i liked john better before he went off with that yoko ono
Me too always
I Agree
This is the most goodlooking John interview and his post BEATLES look on Get back film, a clean look,soft shy spoken John in his peak Beatles time ,
He said he couldn't see for shite without his glasses!
Did you have a stroke whilst writing this?
@@jackr5407 English may not be their first language, says more about you for struggling to read it
dunno i think he was nicer when he was older
That's subjective... I think he looked best with his full beard and long hair
I can't think of a musician with the same charisma, personality, wit and musical talent as John. He had so much influence on so many of us. How could we lose him?
This clip of John was him at his best. He was very polite, and quite charmingly self deprecating He clearly got on well with the interviewer and let down his guard.
Agree, finally someone asking good questions that's why he's polite, not comparable to those ridiculous questions on press conferences, it could be part of what led them get fed up with success.
I respectfully disagree. John was a rockstar, I think a rockstar should be a bit of a rebel, a contrarian who dare to challenge societies conventions. That doesn´t mean being a bully or something, it means you challenge the people in power. So I liked when John and the Beatles were a bit cocky towards journalists, because they were typically uninformed and condescending.
Yes, as far as being more humble and polite, and he also looked much better here than he did in the late '60's-1970's..he looked quite rough and sometimes emaciated in his 1970's appearances...
Because he didn't know Yoko yet
he had such a soothing voice.
Not only did he have the very best singing voice, but also a greatl speaking voice.
he's so gorgeous
Early John is very funny, especially the way he looks at the camera letting us know we’re in on the joke 😊
Absolutely. But he did that until the end of his life, the way he looked at the camera.
Thanks to YT I've been able to look at old Beatles interviews and footage. It really struck me how healthy, normal ad full of life John was in the early days. It is sad to know how much drugs changed him.
Fun to see John so RELAXED
I'm going to be honest here. I'm not bloody listening to a word he's saying as I'm just admiring how bloody gorgeous he looks here ❤❤❤❤ Rest in peace John xxxx
The same here 😂 didn't realise how good looking he was.
I think all the women or most never fell outa love with them.
That just shows you don’t care about what he says and only care about him for his looks.
Cool dude would've been even cooler than my older brothers if he was my older brother. Haha
I love how calm and straight forward he is in this interview it’s nice.
The real John Lennon's personality. The John that Cynthia talks about. Love this John, before all the pressure & drugs. RIP John❤
Same he was the best here
😢before Fohn took over in 1966
And before Yoko.
@@gretchennelson7056 exactly can't stand yoko
@@NaaHvaFohn is not real! Nor was John. Ringo is the only Beatle that ever existed. He created John, George and Paul in his mind.
Such BEAUTIFUL eyes.
Handsome
He was so gorgeous
John young and good looking before Beatlemania took its toll on his soul , his look in early Beatles era was perfect
I Have 2 Agree
At his most gorgeous.
before they replaced him 😔
I think that he must have been replaced too, besides McCartney, because he looks completely different just a few years later… and he was not likable, as he was in this interview… Anyways what we’re given by the major music companies are not genuine born artists, but performers and cultural influencers, conceived in Tavistock and similar places…
You can see his mind 🧠 is working on a few levels, as he waits for, listens, to questions 🗣
He's my favorite. ❤️🙂😁😊😃
John was really open and charming in this interview. He gave thoughtful replies. I think it might have been Kenneth Allsop who interviewed him who did a fine job.
John was totally charming and self deprecating. He got a good interviewer who bowled down some nice thought provoking questions which got a mixture of humour and serious reflection from John. The questions were not really as John as a Beatle.
beautiful boy
Just for me! i cant believe this John Lennon and the one in the 70s. with Yoko Ono his long hair are the same! this dude had such a big Change in his later years. i really adore the young John Lennon! especially on stage with the Beatles! The Energy they provide is unmatched!
I agree.
Maybe they weren't the same person....
@@cutekanjii Lol. That's A Good 1
@@dannyboyd9462nothing is real bro 🚬🤠
Back then, the people interviewing Pop/Rock Stars were soo clueless.
Some people have thought that John had the intellect of a genius.
I just think he was Superman.
I grew up in the 60s and he helped change world culture.
This interviewer wasn’t bad
John Lennon was a genious still is.I'll see you in heaven John. Beatles forever ♥️👏👏💛
He is thoroughly a Lovely Lad. One of our Best humans 🛎👋
Look how handsome he was before the drugs and the eating disorder 😢
Yeah, you're right on that one.
Absolutely gorgeous.
he was cute in new york.
he was handsome the whole time dude
He was always handsome
Thank u for this video....john is so so handsome 😍 💜
Very authentic interview.
What a brilliant dude.
✅🙏📈🔭🐥 off the charts
The articulate and ridiculously talented Mr John Lennon (Ex-MBE holder...) thanks for uploading.
amazing! Is there more we can see? This is a side of John we rarely got to see. He's so sweet and charming.
because it rarely existed.
Because he didn't know Yoko yet
The most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen 🤎
How can you see brown eyes when it is filmed in black and white ?? 😅
@@morganalvarez5925 In color videos you can see his eyes color, lol
He was way too young to even think of how he’d like to be remembered! The Beatles did stuff, like we all did as youngsters, usually without thinking much.
He's a one-of-a-kind, even in the early days. Is there any other 'pop' singer, alive or dead, who was articulate and honest as this at 24?
Paul.
@@xxcelr8rs Nope. Check Paul's interview on the same day with the same interviewer: 'we meet out friends... er.. um... that's a bit daft isn't it, we meet our friends.' Yes, Paul, it is.
@@artgecko Paul knew exactly what he was doing. Paul never gave anything about himself away, definitely the most private Beatles and he makes out it's all just luck and thumbs up but like Donovan said the real Paul is intense and obviously a genius,you don't wrote all that music and lead a band like the Beatles and be a dummy.
@@artgecko also John said the Beatles were made in Paul's image
Robert Plant
I absolutely love John Lennon favorite singer his music helps calm my anexity good man he is miss him wish he were here still with us
In a few years he would seem like a completely different person
Exactly ......in 1966 all changed .
John Lennon❤❤❤❤
Hard to believe this was almost 60 years ago. I was 13 at the time of this interview.
Hard to believe you are 73, you don't look a day over 70.
@@andydixon2980
Yeah? Well I got old when I wasn't looking.
At the age of 24 had the wisdom of someone 94 an old soul
❤❤❤que saudade de qdo john lennon tão lindooo ❤❤❤
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy...
Darling, darling, darling, darling John.❤
It amazing how new interviews of The Beatles are discovered or released year after year. Makes you wonder how many more there are out there that may get released long after Paul and Ringo are no longer with us.
Rodger the Artful Dodger! Who’s Roger?
Anyway, this is a special interview of Lennon in his prime! He wasn’t good at painting but he was good at drawing caricatures and great at writing songs.
I get a melancholy feeling from watching him here because I think of what the world lost later. He didn’t deserve to go out like that so brutally and senselessly.
RIP Lennon 💐
He was very clever.
@@miamibeachsunnydays8274 Let’s see! Hmmm? Joko stalked him for a year and went to his house where Cynthia lived and would wait all day to see him. And she threatened to kill herself if he ever left her. Did you know that too?
I would've never dreamed when I was in grade school a Beatle would get shot to death
@@markdinkel-uh2je
It was a very sad day. Senseless and brutal beyond words. I cried all day.
He looks like a completely different person from the John Lennon just two years later. I know people who had eating disorders and drug problems and they still looked the same. I wonder if Paul wasn’t the only one who changed.
🔭🐥
I thought I've seen everything from them being long time Beatles fan it's nice to see this one from John certainly the best version of him good looking, charming and witty.Sure he had some flaws but no one's perfect so let's us enjoy whatever is left with his memory and tnx 2 yt were seeing never before seen footages like this again!
There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be ❤
Thanks again for sharing! Wonderful interviews with some of my favorite entertainers! Lennon, so interesting!
He’s adorable 🥰
John he is a really good person And My favourite person
Sexy sexy and sexy. Love his voice and face. Miss him like crazy. One time machine required please!
Its strange but the John Lennon in 69 looks like a totally different person....
oh this special being! We were fascinated by him, we still are.
Lennon❤
That period of the Beatles both gives me nice, comforting memories of my young childhood, and excites me with the uplifting, daring and revolutionary verve of the ‘60s.
He would have been 83 years old today...(October 9, 2023)...
🙏❤️☝️
1966 changed John and it wasnt just the drugs
"Preoccupied with abnormalities?" Wise interviewer.
a man we failed to protect😢
Love you John baby 💗🧡🤍🌼💛☮️💙💓
Yes He was handsome all throughout his Life. No denying he looked better b4 the late 60's.
two different guys bro 🔭🐥
I fell in love with this john
the real john
❤❤❤❤❤❤☝️🙏😔
His hair is so fluffy
John Lennon very funy😊
The beautiful boy 👦 💙 😍 ♥ ❤ 💖

untouchable. take note, kids. if ya wanna master art and life, balance all things. write and have rebellious fun. play music and experiment.
"Lennon's love of wordplay and nonsense with a twist found a wider audience when he was 24. Harry writes that In His Own Write (1964) was published after "Some journalist who was hanging around the Beatles came to me and I ended up showing him the stuff. They said, 'Write a book' and that's how the first one came about". Like the Daily Howl it contained a mix of formats including short stories, poetry, plays and drawings. One story, "Good Dog Nigel", tells the tale of "a happy dog, urinating on a lamp post, barking, wagging his tail - until he suddenly hears a message that he will be killed at three o'clock". The Times Literary Supplement considered the poems and stories "remarkable ... also very funny ... the nonsense runs on, words and images prompting one another in a chain of pure fantasy". Book Week reported, "This is nonsense writing, but one has only to review the literature of nonsense to see how well Lennon has brought it off. While some of his homonyms are gratuitous word play, many others have not only double meaning but a double edge." Lennon was not only surprised by the positive reception, but that the book was reviewed at all, and suggested that readers "took the book more seriously than I did myself. It just began as a laugh for me".

"In His Own Write is a 1964 nonsense book by English musician John Lennon. His first book, it consists of poems and short stories ranging from eight lines to three pages, as well as illustrations.
After Lennon showed journalist Michael Braun some of his writings and drawings, Braun in turn showed them to Tom Maschler of publisher Jonathan Cape, who signed Lennon in January 1964. He wrote most of the content expressly for the book, though some stories and poems had been published years earlier in the Liverpool music publication Mersey Beat. Lennon's writing style is informed by his interest in English writer Lewis Carroll, while humorists Spike Milligan and "Professor" Stanley Unwin inspired his sense of humour. His illustrations imitate the style of cartoonist James Thurber. Many of the book's pieces consist of private meanings and in-jokes, while also referencing Lennon's interest in physical abnormalities and expressing his anti-authority sentiments.
The book was both a critical and commercial success, selling around 300,000 copies in Britain. Reviewers praised it for its imaginative use of wordplay and favourably compared it to the later works of James Joyce, though Lennon was unfamiliar with him. Later commentators have discussed the book's prose in relation to Lennon's songwriting, both in how it differed from his contemporary writing and in how it anticipates his later work, heard in songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "I Am the Walrus". Released amidst Beatlemania, its publication reinforced perceptions of Lennon as "the smart one" of the Beatles, and helped to further legitimise the place of pop musicians in society.
Since its release, the book has been translated into several languages. In 1965, Lennon released another book of nonsense literature, A Spaniard in the Works. He abandoned plans for a third collection and did not publish any other books in his lifetime. Victor Spinetti and Adrienne Kennedy adapted his two books into a one-act play, The Lennon Play: In His Own Write, produced by the National Theatre Company and first performed in June 1968 to mixed reviews."

"I was doing it long before I became a guitar", such a special mind, I love this era Lennon, before he got deeply serious, impatient with the world and Yoko'd
I don't understand anything but I like it
June 14, 1964...Melbourne Australia...Southern Cross Hotel.
The pressure John and the others were under was just insane. Glad none O.D. with all that portable Rome band.
Reading without glasses
Great interview, but looks more like 1965

John Lennon foi tão sexy e muito bonito ❤
4:46 god damn 😍🥴
The most beautiful smile in existence.
The thirst for John is real in the comments. Yes, he looks extra great here for some reason. 😄
People often forget just how downright funny all four of them were. Quite different from all rock bands before or since.
Take away the music and they’re all very capable of filing the gap between the goons and python.
pretty john❤
WHERES YA GLASSES JOHN
Just look at John in 1964 and then see him in 1967 to see how visually his face changed, unfortunately for the worse, a direct result of the rampant use of drugs, a shame, but a fact.
He was still handsome in 70's
@@FuturoDeRedpillEhAlcoolismo
I disagree, he was beautiful of 1962 to 1966, then with drug abuse, his face changed a lot and for the worse. His worst phase was in 1969 with his pale and bony face.
@@melissamell1785 I guess you have dysmorphia disorder so you think everyone is ugly. How can a true young beauty become ugliness just because he lost weight? That's impossible.
He has not lost his beautiful facial features at all.
In 16 years he would be gone.
Yoko really messed him up! I don't care that he says he was suicidal before her i just think that's him being John! He got with her so he could do heroin openly and not hide it amd someone he could anything with and not care what she thought
He was definately suicidal before they met , but I agree with you she made it easy for him to carry on the way he did.
The interviewer defintitely must have gained Lennon's trust when you see him reacting the way he does. Or is he just being pleasing and political?
John is so nice when forced to respond to so many daft qustions.
Fucking genius!
THIS FUCKING BIG ASS WATERMARK AAAAAA
Who's the interviewer? I recognise the voice.
Look at his eyes-he was stoned😆
John looks back on this time and called it his fat Elvis period. You can also see he’s as blind as a bat without his glasses.
Little Richard said that he was very mischievous..that he would fart in a room and close the door so you could smell it.
Oh ok fair do's 😊 👍
Blind as a bat in that interview as George would say. Unless he had his specs on or contact lenses in.i looked up to alot of people in life but never wanted to do them harm. Well maybe a little but never did.
14 th June 1964 Melbourne’s Southern Cross Hotel
there are moments here when he has certain inflections and gestures that remind me of Linda EAstman. It was far more attractive on John. Was she copying him?
