So what if balding, bristling Hoskins was never matinee idol - TopicsExpress



          

So what if balding, bristling Hoskins was never matinee idol material? That was hardly the point. Hoskins came to strike a balance and to set us straight. The critic Pauline Kael billed him as a testicle on legs, a barbed put-down which nonetheless nailed the mans peculiar, rumble-tumble virility. The actor, meanwhile, was wont to describe himself as five-foot-six cubic, as if he were as utilitarian as a house-brick. I prefer to see him as a kind of unglamorous cultural cornerstone. Take Hoskins away and the whole structure is weakened. theguardian/film/filmblog/2014/apr/30/bob-hoskins-dies
