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.

I really mis Him.

His timing and delivery is flawless.

His work in the Elephant man is an acting benchmark

One of my favorite actors of all time. The Naked Civil Servant was absolutely brilliant. And The Elephant Man was amazing.

John Hurt was a legend

One of the greatest actors in history. We have the honor of see and enjoy all his movies and I Claudius, unforgetable

john hurt was a wonderful actor lovely voice beautiful smile. i miss him too. x

Brilliant actor with the most incredible voice. One of my all time favorites. So missed…

a fantastic actor. Rest in peace John.

I was sad when i heard john had sadly psssed away .he was a such a great actor a British legend

Quinten Crisp was such a character and much loved personality, and John's portrayal of him was excellent.

One of my all-time favourite actors, a genius, humble, self effacing, but utterly brilliant!. So miss seeing him on screen. RIP John 💔

Thank you. His voice even that young...

He has been AMAZING in ALL his roles and I've seen most of them.

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. ❤ ♥️ 😍🥰😘

Great actor especially in the elephant man and 10 Rillington place.

Tremendous actor 👍

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.

Maybe the best actor ever.

I love John Hurt

God I miss John Hurt 😢

Fantastic actor. Probably one of favorites. RIP Mr. Hurt.

He was great in all of his roles but I loved him in "Scandal" the most. That film is woefully under-appreciated.

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.

AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR❤

For me Claudius was Johns greatest role

Wow. What a handsome voice he had.

C'est John . Délicat et so british !!

Fair play to John Hurt, a true great.

7:58 I LOVE that he calls "Newsweek" "Newspeak." He was channeling Winston Smith again for a moment.

He was so Remarkably….Fabulously Outstanding, Untouchable in his Craft that others can only marvel in his Genus talent of the Art…Of Acting…….

Don't forget about John's terrific performance in 10 Rillington Place as Timothy Evans who was wrongly hung for the murders of his wife Beryl and baby daughter Geraldine. Great movie but harrowing

He was perfect for The war Doctor

Snitter voice actor (Plague dogs). Rest in peace John Hurt. I will miss you !

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!!!😊😂

Great actor.

I love the guy’s talent; his accent, for some reason, makes everything in his performances sound so brilliant… he EARNED the Midnight Express nomination… (haven’t seen Elephant Man) sadly he was up against Walken that year, he would’ve won no doubt

Он гений.

A total chameleon. My favorite actor ever.then gary oldman, viggo Mortensen, christian bale,, sam Rockwell are some that i admire their versatility but none like sir hurt

Incandescent. Merrick. Caligula. He was a giant.

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.

First remember him from Mr Forbush and The Penguins, where he plays a scientist in the Antarctic who has to kill a penguin for an experiment, v v sad and touching

Hard to believe he's no longer with us.

Hazel-rah

No 1984...?

I have new productions ready ft. Anthony B, Fantan Mojah, Pinchers, Luciano and Busy Signal. They are live in my chan now!

how come he was routinely cast as a homosexual? I assume its that little-boy face.

nah let's discuss Paris Jackson's Tats. fools out there.

Unnatural affection is repulsive and is not bigotry at all.

John Hurt’s handsome !!!

He was fantastic as Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment.
