Bob Hoskins 1942 - 2014

[Palazzo]

Didn't see this posted elsewhere, apologies if I missed it.

Bob Hoskins passed away in hospital with pneumonia at the age of 71. I loved him as a kid in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mr Smee in Hook. Even though he said it was possibly the worst thing he ever did I will remember him fondly as Mario in the Super Mario Bros Movie, honestly one of my favourite childhood movies. Always got the impression he was a proper down to earth bloke, RIP Bob.

I liked Bob Hoskins in "Pennies from Heaven" and as Khruschev in "Enemy at the Gates."

Loved him in "Mona Lisa".

Sad to hear this news. As Palazzo said , he seemed a genuinely nice bloke when you saw him interviewed, rare as this was.
