    John Hurt was a class act!! what an outstanding actor but most importantly a great and Dearing human being. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but I and so many others were lucky enough to reach his spirit through cinema. such classics like 1984, The Elephant Man, Midnight Express and many more. He blessed us with his acting and spirit. Well, I guess The heavens needed Mr. Hurt as much as we needed him. thank you John hurt and may you Rest in Peace.

    John Hurt. A man with a voice and a look in his eyes that you, or at least I, immediately was taken by when I saw him the first time (sometimes in my youth in the 70s). His type of voice is so very seldom heard in the world. For me it represents honesty, an endearing vulnerability and so much hidden but poignant warmth, that it is truly missed.

    RIP John Hurt. you may be gone from this world ,but we shall meet with you in another world in near future . A wonderful man with pure and utter Grace with everything that he did. He portrayed such a class act in everything that he did and said ,whilst bringing true thought and emotion in every role that he played. John Hurt was one of a kind ,a special actor . We don't get them like this anymore. A pure spark of genius and wonder has been lost from this world ,but it has appeared in the another for whom we shall too be joining very very soon. RIP John Hurt, you were pure perfection

    John Hurt,
    1940-2017.

  • @CarynDPrescott
    @CarynDPrescott 7 лет назад +3

    "I don't act, I just pretend". One of my favorite quotes. It says a lot about John's work ethic. He took his work seriously, but he wasn't obsessed with being Method. I also loved that he was able to make fun of himself. The diner scene in Spaceballs makes fun of the infamous "chest busting" scene in Alien, which is the scariest movie series to me. John Hurt rocks!
