I keep forgetting that Bob Hoskins' was British, because in Who Framed Roger Rabit he sounded very American, it was almost too perfect. RIP to this legend.
Same
Come on, though... You can't forget about "Smee?! Smee's me!!!"
I remember used to watch that movie in my childhood
He was English until he played mario then we disowned him so now he’s yours 👌🏻😆
I got 3 words for you, long good Friday
The timing of this video. I’ve been watching some of his films lately and it’s easy to forget he’s actually British. He pulled off an American accent really well. One of the true greats that deserves more recognition.
Very well said
he died at age of 40
Fully agreed and as I saw this I'm like - I need to go watch more of his work this man was fantastic
@@karenling2106 Bob Hoskins died in 2014 at the age of 71
@@karenling2106 lol- so he looks like he’s in his 30’s in this interview to you does he? 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Bob. It’s a shame his career got stone cold after the Mario movie and took 6 years to make a comeback with Felicia’s journey. Brilliant and severely underrated
that maybe the case yes, but as a Kid, I freaking loved that movie. I still have a soft spot for the Mario Brothers movie.
Long Good Friday is brilliant, ending scene is one of the best bit of subtle acting
Always watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit when I was a kid. The toons are amazing, but it's always Bob Hoskins who I've always looked up. Eddie Valiant is the hero to us 80s & 90s kids, in spite of his flaws but we always cheer him when he stood by Roger Rabbit's side or took on Judge Doom and his Weasels.
👍🏻
rest in peace man
Unleased was a great film too
I was lucky enough to have met Bob Hoskins when he came to Secaucus, New Jersey to promote this film. Twenty Four Seven was being shown as part of a NJ film series. When they showed this film, Bob Hoskins was the special guest. It was probably within a a day or 2 of Bob Hoskins being on Conan or it could have been the same day. He was super nice to everyone in the audience. I got his autograph and I actually got to shake his hand. It was funny that when he walked out of the movie into the main lobby and was walking towards the exit, people who were coming into the lobby would do double takes when they saw him. They were coming to see a movie and they did not expect to see an actual movie star walking by. It was amazing watching this film and then as soon as it finished, they introduced Bob Hoskins who came down the side aisle to the front. Bob Hoskins was even nicer in person then when you see him in the movies. Just a nice, regular guy who happened to be an extremely talented actor. Rest in peace Mr. Hoskins. His daughter wrote a very nice book about her father.
In the '80s, Hoskins was _X-Men_ writer Chris Claremont's dream pick to play Wolverine. He could've done it.
But seriously, Bob would have been a magnificent Capone!
Glad he got a little money out of it for his troubles. 👍
Could see it. He & Stephan Graham have similarities. He made a great Capone on Boardwalk Empire.
Would've been bloody great, sadly he was taken from us too soon 😢 hell of an actor.
Robert De Niro played him well but he would've nailed it.
An utter legend. THE LONG GOODBYE FRIDAY is a barnstorming performance
That's how I found him. Young Pierce Bronson with his original Irish accent & the lovely Queen herself, Helen Mirren.
It’s “The Long Good Friday”.
@@MrTibster The Long Good Friday and The Long Goodbye are both great films though 😬
Ade channel baru ytuber pemula trmh kasih oke
Bless Bob Hoskins, always a true gentleman who never forgot his roots...and a fine fine actor 🎬
Also a man who was a fine socialist
Legend. Loved him in The Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa. Rest In Peace Bob.
I watched Mona Lisa for the first time on TCM a few weeks ago.
great films
Unleased was a great film too
Definitely his two best performances, he really gets the room to shine in those.
I absolutely love the contrast of Bob being such a rough and tumble guy at the same time such a beautiful artist.
Bob Hoskins is an actor that any younger movie fan should absolutely go and check out his work you will see why he is so appreciated and you won't regret watching a single one of his films.
Always watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit when I was a kid. The toons are amazing, but it's always Bob Hoskins who I've always looked up. Eddie Valiant is the hero to us 80s & 90s kids, in spite of his flaws but we always cheer him when he stood by Roger Rabbit's side or took on Judge Doom and his Weasels.
My introduction to Bob when I was a kid was “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. He was also great in “Hook”. RIP
He was iconic in The Long Good Friday. Amazing who Conan had as guests
Never, since Damian Lewis, have I been so surprised to discover that an actor I thought was American is actually British.
“The Long Good Friday” is one of the great British gangster flicks.
Unleased was a great film too
Brian De Palma got a good heart. Still payed Bob for his time.
Reminds me of days when i would turn up for shift and if they didnt need me. They would pay me half a days wages just for turning up and send me home. You wont get that kind of appreciation from employers these days.
Time and a half on weekends, Christmas bonus, a bonus on top of the Christmas bonus that went up by a small percentage for every year you remained employed with the company. Those were good days.
He said he loved doing the film Hook🪝
because he got to do his own voice!
He was always playing American characters or if he did do British it was mostly the proper British accent.
Hook is one of my favourite films!
He actually reprised his role as Smee (albeit a very different Smee) years later in a miniseries called 'Neverland'.
@killwill83
That’s what he said in a interview,
so take it up with him!
There’s no such thing as a “British” accent. Bob had an English accent, or more accurately a London accent. If you were to travel for 30-60 minutes from London in any direction, the accent will be noticeably different. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all British countries, but they don’t have the same accent.
(hears English accent)
*surprised Pikachu face*
Next thing you’re going to tell me, Hugh Laurie or that guy from Homeland are English too.
Hopkins would've been a perfect Al Capone
Even damn near looks like him. It would've been the most perfect casting.
De Niro nailed it
Bob Hoskins always played his characters with a certain humility and humanity that was quite (I think) unique. His bad guys had a vulnerable side and his good guys were flawed. He is much missed.
What a great guy. When Roger Rabbit came out, I was living in West Germany, the film was dubbed, and I remember wondering how Bob had possibly pulled off an American accent. But he did.
It’s amazing
I became a huge fan of Bob Hoskins after seeing him in Dennis Potter's 'Pennies From Heaven' in the late 70's.
Yes.
Bob Hoskins had one of the most relaxing voices of all time.
I wish they went with Bob Hoskins for Capone, he'd be perfect. I always thought De Niro looked a bit out of place in that movie.
Disagree, De Niro was scary as hell in that part. He nailed it
Probably the only time Les Battersby got a shout out on US TV.
What a legend, Mona Lisa and LGF are some of the best British films ever made!
He was a very jolly English actor who does a great job putting on a fake Brooklyn accent. Underrated actor ever and may he Rest in Peace.
I loved this man, he was the perfect super Mario and who framed Roger Rabbit was superb. But his grittier crime and mob films were where he shined
Top Actor. Great character. Great accent. Rest in peace.
He would have been perfect as Capone.
Thank you so much for posting this. Bob Hoskins was as cool as they come. Harold Shand, George, Eddie Valiant, Mario... you name it.
He was great in Super Mario Bros the movie
He was too good for it if you ask me
Poor guy said he had to drink just to get through filming.
@@Jeremy_theGent he was great as Mario- when I was a kid we went to see Mario Bros in the theatre- I really thought he was from Brooklyn, and my mom is born and raised in Brooklyn and he fooled her too! I didn’t find out until decades later that he was British
@@haruruben Terrific actor, he was.
@@Jeremy_theGent yes, may he Rest In Peace. So weird to see people who have passed on like this, for a moment I forgot he died and I thought “oh hey, what’s he working on? … oh… right 😔😮💨
Like a Cockney James Cagney. Underrated as hell. Miss him.
It's good to hear Bob.
it bloody is
Wow. Just wow. He was casted as Mario in a movie years ago with John Leguizamo. And now Chris Pratt was just recently cast to play Mario.
I liked the casting of the Super Mario movie, but the script, the direction and everything else was insanely wrong.
We Miss You Bob Hoskins
Came here to hear Bob's British accent, and holy crap!! 😮
So underrated !!
The world has never been the same since he left us. 💔
One of the most underrated actors. Ever.
As a person who lives in Nottingham, bobs true with what he says, we coined the names Shottingham :)
Bob lives on not only by film but he was in an British Telecom advert decades ago and he said this.. Listen it’s good to talk’ how truer a line is today as it was back in the 80s. The Guvna
He almost sounds like Horace and Jasper in 101 Dalmatians
The way he pulls off a British accent is amazing.
Haha that's because he was British
@@redheadflames3454You don't say
My Favourite Actor Ever. RIP Bob. 10 years gone nearly.
Hoskins and Michael Caine worked together in Mona Lisa. Great movie.
I loved Mr. Hoskins. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Hook and Super Mario Bros. Some of my childhood favs of his
I get wanting De Niro, who wouldn't? But Hoskins is an absolute dead ringer for Al Capone, it feels like it was the part he was made for.
Rest In Peace Bob, MY FAV FILM The Long Good Friday
Bob Hoskins would have made the perfect Al Capone.
If I see another "underrated" comment I think I'm going to barf. People should engage their brains before posting nonsense.
It's not fair there's very few interviews about his other roles. Loved him in Brazil, Hook and made a tiny cameo in Spice World.
He also played J Edgar Hoover in Nixon
I think of the long good friday as one of the top 10 best gangster films of all time.
I didn't even know he was British. Seen him in so many American movies with Northeastern American accents, I thought he was American. Never thought to look his background up or interviews.
Felicias Journey is a must see film. Shows how BRILLIANT of an actor he was. Terrifying.
I like the way he talks
The film talked about at the beginning is TwentyFourSeven, directed by Shane Meadows . Good movie
Him and Joe Pesci as brothers from another mother across the pond ... that wouldve been the hit of the 90s
Are you serious??? This is his real accent??? Wow, I thought his american accent in Who Framed Roger Rabbit was his legit accent.
Imagine an English interviewer saying to DeNiro lets talk about your accent. What's it like when you work with Pacino because he has the same accent .... If you speak English but are not English then its you with the weird accent.
RIP Bob Hoskins!
Orson Welles should have been nominated for his captain Quinlan inTouch Of Evil
Goodbye Bob ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Rest in Peace
Such a legend. I forgot he's no longer with us.
I'll always remember him (as everyone should) as Smee in Hook, but I also have a fond memory of his voice acting as Teddy in 'The Forgotten Toys.'
"EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE FAMILY... LOVES...
YUMMY!" xD
Smee!
Seriously, that movie was 90% of my childhood
An amazing story teller. God rest his soul.
Awesome actor. Wish he had played Al Capone.
I lived in inner city Nottingham in 1998 - can confirm it was seriously rough
gunchester and shottingham werent a joke. beirut sht some nights
What an incredible talent and what an incredible man. RIP.
Best voice in cinema.
What a great actor
Now THIS is my Mario!
Same here didn't even realize he was British.
Ooh he would've been good as Capone. Great actor and he looks like him.
Both Bob Hoskins and Robert De Niro starred in the movie Brazil back in 1985, two years before The Untouchables. But they didn’t share scenes together so I don’t know if they ever met
They actually did share a scene when De Niro killed his character
Listening to this, I think we underrated Bruce Jones when he was playing Les Battersby
Bob was snubbed by the Oscars. Never forget!
ua-cam.com/video/280U9-5v8I0/v-deo.html Very Exciting News! 🎶❤️🎵
Freaky timing. I just randomly thought of Al Capone's theme in The Untouchables, so I looked it up. Then I saw in my notifications that this was just recently posted 🤨
Bob Hoskins would've been perfect for the Capone role.
Such a great actor!
Wow. I mostly know bob hoskins from roger rabbit, and a movie called heart condition, and another called shattered. I never knew he was English. I always thought in the movie hook that he was doing a fake accent. Lol.
Great actor , sorely missed
Brilliant actor R I P Bob 🙏
People dont know about parts of UK back then- It wasnt fun growing up in Gunchester back in 90s sometimes. Shottingham, all them. You mericans forget that isht. But this man was a real one. showed whats up
Love it when Phil Collins stops by Conan...
A great British treasure. America may not see his like again. We don't really have working class actors any more.
I had heard the story about haskins and the untouchables I've lived in Nottingham never realised it was so violent
Legend. Was amazing as Harold Shand in the Long Good Friday.
Unleased was a great film too
Wow, he was English! That’s amazing! I’m just watching Mermaids right and just googled him! I’m blown away. All the time I thought he was American!
My kids went to the same primary school in North London,as him, albeit about 60 years apart
Hook is one of my favourites
Most important aspect of this video is that Les Battersby got mentioned on Conan
I remember first seeing Bob Hoskins in the film Who framed Roger Rabbit. Didn’t know until watching Made in Dagenham he was from here the UK 🇬🇧
Love this guy.
Bob on Connan is awesome.😎
Bob Hoskins was supposed to be George Knox in Angels In The Outfield but was deemed too short for the role and Danny Glover replaced him.
First Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, then Mario gets paid by doing absolutely nothing.
Yeah big up for my hometown “Nottingham council projects”
“Have you two worked together?”
Uh, Mona Lisa my dude.
Rip Bob Never forget you, My Movie Favorite Roger Rabbit, Super Mario Bros. etc
A great performances in pennies from heaven
