Cliff on piers Morgan's Life Stories

Yes Whitwave

He’s very guarded about his private life, and why not?
I think in some ways he has probably lived a rather selfish life, which is why he has never had a real sort of relationship.
He now seems rather sexless somehow, if that makes sense.

I don't like the way Piers Morgan's interviews are heavily edited. There's no flow - just quickfire questions and Cliff's answers. followed by Piers's loud laughter. came across as staged and false.

Michael Parkinson would have done a much better job.

Oh yes “Kitty”.

Nothing real about him.

Oh nooooo, I missed it

I watched because despite all his faults I always think Piers Morgan a good interviewer and feel I know more about the person he interviews. I came away from this non the wiser! I dont dislike Cliff but hes either incredibly bland or deceptive!

Sorry I cannot warm to Cliff Richard, I watched last nights interview and my opinion is unchanged.

Looks - he's lived clean and looked after his health - and is blessed with good genes. Personality - If I'd lived his life I think I'd be pretty guarded about how much I let show. The allegations - he was abused by the press and Police and if there had been substance to them both he and any complainants are victims of the media. We've all got long pasts - lets be kind.

Such a sad man I always think, always putting up a facade.

If he looks about 50 than I look about about 40. (I wish).

There was no emotion, I don’t mean tears rolling , no warmth,
nothing .

I agree with grannyrebel7. Cliff is a lovely man, and has been devastated by false accusations.

Oh My Urmston, We may have found an area we can agree on.

No smoke without fire.
I don’t trust him.

I was always an Elvis fan and irritated by my cousin who was in the Cliff camp. She had a poster of him over her bed where I had to sleep when we stayed with them. Yuk. Never really liked him or his music but did feel he was quite nice last night, humorous and friendly so I’m surprised at the reaction of others.
Perhaps he does hide behind some sort of facade, I don’t know, but if so, I think I prefer that to today’s so called celebrities who like to bare all and I don’t mean skimpy clothes.

I'm another in the Bluebellwould camp. Fake and forced, not genuine and his real personality completely concealed behind that phoney front.

I agree Bluebellwould

Nothing to do with his suffering at the hands of the BBC, but I’ve always thought him fake and forced. He comes across to me as a living picture, where the real person is completely concealed behind a facade. He was very clever deflecting questions with humour and turning things around, it all seemed rehearsed somehow. I will now get my hard hat and hide behind sofa.

Remember watching a documentary celebrating his 60th!

Where has that 20 years gone?

?

I caught the second part of the programme and couldn't believe he is now 80. He came across as genuine and with a sense of humour. It was lovely seeing the old clips of him singing too.
