Lovely genuine guy. My apprentice, Mark, wife was the nanny to his kids. Mark and she wanted to buy a house, but needed Bob to say she was earning more than she was to get the mortgage they needed, he said he would do that. A few weeks later, he gave her a letter to give to the lender, and it said she was earning more than she needed it say. She pointed that out, and Bob said, you are actually earning that from now on. What a gent

Another time, my apprentice (mechanic) Mark, arrived at Bobs house late Saturday night after a hard days spanering, still in his overalls. Marks wife was Bobs kids nanny, and had a room at the top of the house so she could stay over if needed, and there was a party that night, so she’d agreed to stay over to watch the kids, Mark was going to stay as well. Anyway, he arrives, and Bob insists on introducing Mark to some very big movies names, still in his overalls. He goes up to the room, showers and changes, and is just settling down to a beer and pizza, there’s a knock at the door, it’s Bob with a bottle of champagne. He asks if he can stay there for the evening as he really can’t deal with the movie crowd!

I think it was in the same interview where he was asked about 'selling out' and doing adverts for British Gas. Bob replied he had thousands of reasons for doing the ads - and each one of them had a picture of the queen on the back.

Although he was British, I had a hard time hearing his accent because the first movie I watched A LOT was Roger Rabbit (I was an enticed 2 year old for Jessica Rabbit), and Bob nailed the role as Eddie so much that I always hear him as such. RIP Bob.

Growing up I knew him as Eddie Valiant and Mario Mario, both of whom had American accents. Didn't realize he was British until years later. I saw him as Mr. Smee in Hook and just assumed his British accent was fake there lol

Few people seem to talk about his role in Enemy at the Gates. Not a major role, per se, but wow did he deliver

He was fantastic in Mermaids!!!

What a legend of a man

I was pretty surprised to learn Bob Hoskins was actually British. He put on such a convincing American accent as Eddie Valiant.

You know Yosemite Sam? Yeah, I've met him.

His claim about it not so much being about the voice and more about looking short and (Italian-)American carries weight considering years later he played Mario.

I think Bob Hoskins would have made a more nuanced and interesting Al Capone. DeNiro's Capone is kind of cartoonish and too "DeNiro" and lacking depth.
