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
I'm English and I always watch American films with the English subtitles on as I don't understand hardly a word spoken, especially today with all their vibrating mumbling voices which destroy my speakers.
I never knew Bob had passed away . What a massive loss . Brilliant actor and down to earth geezer who spoke his mind with a great sense of humour. R.I.P BOB SAD LOSS
What a lovely man. Saw him on the lot of Columbia, reading what looked like a script on a bench, under a tree. One of my regrets is not going up to him and telling him how I adored his work.
I couldn’t help thinking of Stephen Graham when watching this. He also has a strong accent but can do American really well and is charismatic and versatile as an actor!
What a great comparison!!❤ Both incredibly down to earth individuals and fun fact very similar in height too! Both of them are now national treasures, R.I.P. Mr Hoskins & Salute to you Mr Graham!!
@@skintslots Aye I really like him too. The acting he was doing on 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' was absolutely revolutionary. It doesn't get talked about much but Bob really showed that he was the real deal in that production.
he is probably my top fav. I have a genuinely hard time choosing one but his presence in my childhood with roger rabbit, hook, and many others just sold me instantly
@@rabit818 There's still no such thing as a British accent, it's an English accent that has something called regional dialects depending on where in England you are born.....British is just a term of political identification and Bob hoskins was as English as they come.
@@heresjohnny602 All I know is the host of that video channel is from the UK . My cousin's husband is from London used the same term I did, neither of us is an English nor a political science major. nrn
@@rabit818 Well sorry but it's an inaccurate term, it's as inaccurate as me calling anyone from Canada down to Argentina American.....someone is British if they come from a country that isn't England however the Irish, Welsh and the Scottish all have very unique cultures they fiercely represent and do not call themselves british....the only meaning being british has is as a political identity label for the government and those who immigrate here.....The east end accent of the Cockney is Currently the accepted definition as to what an English accent would be with received pronunciation from the Queen being the Posh example that people associate with red coats, bearskin hats and Victorian London......Next time this comes up you're going to really impress people with your cultural know how. 😉

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.
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.

@killwill83 2 seconds of googling 'bob hoskins british gas' is all it takes - but thanks for playing, better luck next time.
@@SamLowryDZ-015 Ooo, are we playing 'I'm A Condescending Nob'? We have a winner...
@@repo136 Not at all. I laughed like a drain when he came back with that reply. I've been a admirer of Bob ever since 'On The Move'
The good die young. I miss Bob Hoskins. What a character he was.
He was such a gem rip

Hear, hear.
It’s trippin me out lol I thought he was American.

Bob hoskins truly was a very rare talent to come across when it came to acting. A rare talent gone way too soon
RIP Bob Hoskins you are still missed
“Mona Lisa” was my favourite of he’s ..
R.I.P Bob Hoskins & Robbie Coltrane
The Long Good Friday..."shut it, you lanky dehydrated streak of p1$$"
Very down to Earth. Great interview.
Love the anecdotes about his kids 😆
I never knew Bob had passed away . What a massive loss . Brilliant actor and down to earth geezer who spoke his mind with a great sense of humour. R.I.P BOB SAD LOSS

You respected his privacy, no regrets about that.
@@al1665 Cheers!
Bob really reminds me of phil collins
Yeah I thought this was him promoting Buster, film about the Great Train Robbery?
Mr Hoskins was such a AMAZING actor, raised beautiful Daughters. RIP Great Man you are missed.
I couldn’t help thinking of Stephen Graham when watching this. He also has a strong accent but can do American really well and is charismatic and versatile as an actor!
What a great comparison!!❤
Both incredibly down to earth individuals and fun fact very similar in height too!
Both of them are now national treasures, R.I.P. Mr Hoskins & Salute to you Mr Graham!!
And Stephen Graham did play Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire.
@@DrMcMoist oh yes, he was great in that
@@DrMcMoist A Scouse Al Capone beat a Cockney one to it. LOL. Loved Bob Hoskins and he seemed a really genuine fella too.
@@skintslots Aye I really like him too. The acting he was doing on 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' was absolutely revolutionary. It doesn't get talked about much but Bob really showed that he was the real deal in that production.

Who did he play in Hook was it Captain Hook himself ?
@@BlackangelKatakuri he was Smee
First time I remember seeing him was in the educational tv show ''On the Move,'' where his [ adult ] character was learning to read.
Bob reminds me of an 80s/90s version of Stephen Graham. Both have similar stature and both fantastic actors.
Few people seem to talk about his role in Enemy at the Gates. Not a major role, per se, but wow did he deliver
I was pretty surprised to learn Bob Hoskins was actually British. He put on such a convincing American accent as Eddie Valiant.

Jack (Bob's son) was one of my schoolmates!
Great clip rip bob rip Terry ❤
Good decent man
He was fantastic in Mermaids!!!
Thanks so much for posting
I for the longest time I thought Danny DeVito and Bob hoskins were the same person
Throw Phil Collins into the mix.
What a legend of a man
My favourite Bob Hoskins movies are The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Super Mario Bros.
RIP Bob. Roger and the long Good Friday two of your best me
Old mukka
Class fella
A lot of Brits can do American accent good. On the other hand, a lot of Americans can’t do British accent.
Long Good Friday.
English accent, there's no such thing as a British accent.

Bob number 1 my son x
You know Yosemite Sam?
Yeah, I've met him.
Cubic?! Hahahahah ❤
world where some ppl dont have enough for housing and some get 200k for not being in a movie. what a grate system.
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.
💯 Plus Bob Hoskins eerily LOOKS like Capone too, it would’ve been perfect
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 was today years old when I found out bob was British. Wow.
