Hurt: The Shy Artist.... Alien actor John Hurt loves to paint when he's not making movies, but is too shy to display his creations to the public.The Oscar-nominated actor, 67, has sold some of his paintings, but doesn't believe his work is good enough to warrant an exhibition.He says, "I enjoy art a lot and have done for many years."I am not too sure I am ready to show any of my pieces - they are figurative art - I have been asked to in the past."Anyway I am not sure I would have enough for an art exhibition of my own - some pieces I have sol and given away but so many more I have destroyed through artistic temperament."
