      It was with Oprah Winfrey in 1988. Try again

      Edit: it isn’t fake, but it is false

        Please explain the edit a bit

        Edit: also thank you for the info. I had only ever seen a picture with the quote and his face. So the video source is new for me and given the stated age, not faked.

          There is an actual interview that is referenced, but what is being said about the interview is false

      I saw it years before deepfakes were a thing. I wish I had saved the video now. I would have loved to take a more critical look at it.

        Another commentor corrected my info.

        I had suspected it was faked because I only ever saw his picture and a quote like it was designed to look like a magazine. Turns out it’s a direct quote from an Oprah interview he did in the late 80’s
