In addition to being a rock icon, Keith Richards is surprisingly kind in this 1993 Brazilian television interview. He appears calm, courteous, and truthful in the video. The moment is made memorable by that simple “thank you” in Portuguese. This type of subdued scene serves as a reminder of why people adore him not just for his riffs, but also for his charisma offstage.
The video captures Richards talking with Brazilian journalist Bruna Lombardi in New York in February 1993. The mood is calm and friendly. He jokes a little, listens a lot, and keeps eye contact. No drama, just an honest chat. You see a side of him that’s thoughtful and grounded, far from the wild concert lights. It’s pure, simple, and human.

Fans loved it. Keith is made even more awesome by the numerous comments that highlight how “normal” he appears to be. People describe the quick “obrigada” and gentle tone as being sweet and respectful. Others observe that he responds thoughtfully. The clip continues to be shared because of its understated style, which isn’t loud or ostentatious. It gives the legend a sense of intimacy.
Go back to another 1993 moment to witness a completely different flavor: The same artist, different vibes: Keith Richards sitting next to writer Hunter S. Thompson. This conversation is edgy and unpredictable rather than the usual hotel-room banter. Fast questions, quick answers, and a wild energy that feels like a storm in a bottle are all part of the encounter between two giants. It’s magnetic, strange, and raw.

In this clip, Thompson pushes; Richards parries. They touch on myths, mayhem, and music history. Keith cracks jokes, swats away rumors, and drops sharp one-liners. Viewers call it “insane” and “must-watch” because it shows Keith handling chaos with calm. The comments praise his wit and the rare chance to see two icons collide without filters.
