Re: John Hurt has died

Can I believe that he didn't die, but just regenerated? I can't take any more celebrity deaths.

Rest in Peace, mate.

Re: John Hurt has died

It's been 21 years since a Doctor has died.

Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be that lucky again before the next one goes.

Yeah, I keep expecting to see that Tom or Colin has passed. 2017 is starting to take its cues from 2016.

"Yeah, I keep expecting to see that Tom or Colin has passed."

Snap, mate.

Which probably means it'll be someone we'd never expect to go...

"2017 is starting to take its cues from 2016."

Well, none of us - or our heroes - are getting any younger.

Re: John Hurt has died

It's ok - he's just Christopher Eccleston now.

Jokes aside, always sad when we lose a Doctor :(.

Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody dies.

Re: John Hurt has died

One of the finest actors! Such range, poise, and class. And one of the most impactful voices of all time. Will be mourned and missed.

A fine actor for many decades.

Re: John Hurt has died

Was a big fan of John long before I ever heard of DW, and once involved in the world was gobsmacked to see him in this role, Well its one for the ages, Rest In Peace now our War Doctor, and Thank You

Re: John Hurt has died

Rest in Peace John. Thank you for everything.

Re: John Hurt has died

Just saw it on a Harry potter Facebook page and came here to see if anyone said anything. That sucks he was awesome as the doctor it's a surprise because I heard not to long ago he was clear of his cancer

Re: John Hurt has died

Damn, didn't see that one coming. What a loss.

Sad to hear this. :( RIP John Hurt.

Re: John Hurt has died

Damn, I was JUST talking about him yesterday and what a fine actors he has always been.

Then I watched Alien and was thinking how young he looked in that film.

Imagine that in 20 years the name John Hurt will no longer be a household name, but rather one of those old legendarry actors starring in classic movies.

I hoped he had another 20 years in him yet. He was always one of the greatest British actors.

His body of work is truly incredible. Ever seen him as Caligula? That was a truly electrifying performance. That made me a fan for life. Of course it couldn't be more different to The Elephant Man. So sad that there will never be another performance from him.

RIP legend.

Re: John Hurt has died

Rest in peace, John Hurt...

Re: John Hurt has died

Absolutely devastated, one of the finest character actors in British History and one of my favorite actors, this is sadly not too much of a shock given his recent battle with , pancreatic cancer but still a very sad loss.

It was a great privilege to see him appear as the War Doctor (his performance was easily the best thing about TDOD i.m.o) and later return to the role for Big Finish audio dramas, like McGann before him he cemented his status as a great Doctor with very limited screentime.

Doctor no more, but a outstanding actor forever.

Re: John Hurt has died

Man that sucks. John Hurt was one of my fave actors. Out of my top 5 actors Tim Curry and Katey Sagal are the only two left!

Re: John Hurt has died

It's sad to hear that he died. I hope he's flying around in the TARDIS saving the universe.

Re: John Hurt has died

I heard he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer some time ago. That's the same one that got Swayze. Sadly, there's rarely any comeback from that. He had a fine career. Alien, the Elephant Man, The Story Teller, V for Vendetta. A real part of, not just my childhood, but my adult years too. He will be missed.

RIP.

Re: John Hurt has died

Sad to see so few tributes to John Hurt from people. He barely trended on twitter for a few hours and so few celebs have posted tributes.

Obviously almost all of those who worked with him have, Mel Brooks, Stephen Fry etc. But among the celebs who didn't I've seen very few tributes. In fact so far among those who didn't its just Ben Stiller, Brian May and Lucy Lawless that I've seen pay tribute.

IMO that's an insult to the great man. I understand people hating this "lets show how much I care on twitter culture" and in some ways I agree.

Still to not do it for him and only him is a great insult. The celebs did it for all the rest, Alan Rickman, Carrie Fisher, Robin Williams and David Bowie. Just about every f^cking celeb couldn't wait to get their tweets in showing how grief stricken they were about those people's deaths.

Here however? Virtually not a thing.

Joss Whedon for instance never shuts up about how much he loves Alien, oh it was his favourite horror film, without Ripley there'd be no Buffy, blah, blah, blah, yet not a thing for John Hurt on his twitter page? Caitlin Moran who can never wait to eulogise a dead celeb, NOTHING on John Hurt. Colin Baker and Peter Davison meanwhile have said nothing. The guy was a former Doctor. Only 13 people have officially played that part yet the only other two conformed on twitter can't be bothered to pay tribute? Colin pays tribute to Christopher Lee and Alan Rickman but not to John Hurt?

Patrick Stewart WORKED with him in I Claudius yet nothing? Anthony Stewart Head worked with him in Merlin and there was NOTHING from him. That's the second biggest thing Anthony Head has ever done and John Hurt was a big part of it, yet nothing on the man's death? Annie Lennox used John Hurt's 1984 for part of a music video yet nothing for him?

I don't know considering they ALWAYS do it for every celeb this just feels like such a snub to a great man. F^ck em all. Too busy virtue signalling about Trump to post anything about John Hurt.

Re: John Hurt has died

They haven't given a cause of death but pancreatic cancer survival rates are miniscule.

Re: John Hurt has died

One of my favs. RIP

Re: John Hurt has died

Long time fave here going back to "The Naked Civil Servant" to part in "Alien!"
