I honestly didn't expect to wake up to this news yesterday. Absolutely devastated by the news. I'm so glad I had the chance to meet the man before he died. It was at Brighton Film and Comic Con in 2015, right at the bottom of my country. Took hours to drive down, we stayed in a shitty last minute hotel and I spent ages queued behind some douche who had Hurt signing about 50 pictures. I eventually got to meet him, have a brief chat and he added his signature to my AvPG poster and his CCG card. He was such a lovely gent. RIP John.





That's awesome! Of the hundreds of films he's been in I would have loved to have told him how special Alien is to me, and also how much credibility someone of his talent gave the whole franchise.

I've waved to Scott and Giger at the Prometheus premiere but that's as far as my appreciation has come :(

RIP.

On a lighter note it's probably too late for WHY DON'T THEY JUST FREEZE HIM? ;)

I saw him in an early role in a movie called 10 Rillington Place (which is really good btw) and he played a working class guy who was manipulated into being falsely accused for murder by a serial killer.  He really put in a great performance, but there's no John Hurt role I don't like.  My personal favourite is The Elephant Man, however.
