I was in a long line at a bustop outside Waterloo Station (a lifetime ago) and a short scruffy man in front of me briefly turned to his right and, my word, it was John Hurt. I was dumbfounded. Couldn't figure what a Hollywood actor was doing waiting for a bus. He got on the bus and people recognised him but no one said anything. Close to Victoria he got off and we all smiled at each other with raised our eyebrows. What a weird and wonderful moment.

John Hurt was a genius of an actor. I've actually just watched The Naked Civil Servant for the first time. It was amazing and he was phenomenal. I could never watch The Elephant Man again. It's the most magnificent performance I've ever seen but I've sobbed like a baby every time I've watched it. Nobody could act that role.

Love everything about this gentleman, that voice, I swoon every time. One of the greatest actors and larger than life personalities of the screen and stage. Adore his voice in classic timeless animated characters, whether a villian or hero. He could portray anything in any leading part. I find his face uniquely handsome and adorably boyish. ❤ ♥️ 😍🥰😘

John was so perfect as Quentin Crisp. They needed a brave man to play a brave man and John Hurt was that man. Not just a skilled character actor. He was a leading man, most unconventional by design who did his utmost to play the roles others were scared to. And god, did he play them. A bit like Mr Crisp did with his life.

I can't believe John Hurt was in Alien the first time I saw it. He didn't contradict his sci-fi fiber by playing the War Doctor. The part I love the most of him is John Merrick, but I always hear him in my head with Adam Sutler's voice.

John Hurt was always phenomenal in whatever roles he performed. The Elephant Man must been physically challenging due extremely elaborate makeup. I recall doing Children's theater production where I had to perform Orge costume made of thick rubber padding. Undertaken I was sweating so heavy. When brought couple kids onstage. One turned me and said. Yucky! You're very sweatty!!!😊😂

Multiples characters define some actors's careers and if Bruno Ganz was born to play Hitler, John Hurt was born to play Quentin Crisp and regarding The elephant man, John played a real life's character, which was so heartbreaking and appreciable, he coulda won the Oscar, but the winner was Robert De Niro because of his performance in Raging Bull.
