Este viernes se ha conocido la triste noticia de que John Hurt ha fallecido a los 77 años, las causas de la muerte no están claras pero desde 2015 se conoce que padecía un cáncer de páncreas. Esta trágica pérdida ha conmocionado a actores de todo el mundo, especialmente a aquellos que trabajaron junto a él, aquí tienes un breve repaso de sus comentarios publicados en redes sociales.

En esta larga lista de mensajes y despedidas se incluyen los de algún músico, los de la escritora J.K. Rowling, y los de Pottermore, la web oficial de Harry Potter, que no ha podido evitar despedirse de Garrick Ollivander como se merece.

#JohnHurt WAS the craft at its finest. It was an honor and a great joy to work with him on Snowpiercer. To wile the time away on set, @lucapasqualino #jamieBell #TildaSwinton and I would play a crazy card game called shithead. It's English... and yes it's real. Anyway, though John and #ChrisEvans would never play, we'd all convene at our table in base camp and listen to John recount tales of his varied sets throughout the years. I was in awe of him because he always looked regal even though we played unwashed rebels in a post apocalyptic film. I can't explain it. Maybe it was the way he held his cigarette, or that English accent. Or, perhaps the kindness he showed us all allowed his nobility to radiate even beneath the layers of grimey makeup and tattered clothes. He was such an interesting man! Miss you, John.
