Ray Winstone says his wife hates his resting face as it looks like he wants to kill someone
The movie and TV hardman, 67, who is starring in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series reboot of his gangster film ‘The Gentlemen’, admitted his partner of 25 years Elaine McCausland always tells him he looks murderous when he walks around their house.
He told Variety: “My wife says to me, ‘Why do you look like you’re going to kill someone when you walk into a room?’
“But I don’t mean to.”
Ray also said he is trying to wrap his head around the dazzling array of directors he’s worked with since his breakout role as borstal gang leader Carlin in Alan Clarke’s 1979 TV film ‘Scum’.
He added: “It’s not until you sit down and you’re asked questions and reflect on it and you think, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve worked with (Steven) Spielberg, (‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’), (Martin) Scorsese (‘The Departed’), I’ve worked with (Darren) Aronofsky (‘Noah’), I’ve worked with Jonathan Glazer (‘Sexy Beast’.)’
And you go, ‘Oh, that’s quite a body of directors over the years.
“And if you haven’t learned anything from them, you’re never going to learn anything!”
Ray also recently opened up about how he spent decades secretly feuding with ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ filmmaker Guy Ritchie, 55, before they made up and united for ‘The Gentlemen’.
He told Virgin Radio’s ‘Chris Evans Breakfast Show’: “We had words years ago – a fallout.
“I was going to do (Guy’s 1998 film) ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and it didn’t happen for whatever reason.
“And I thought he was in the wrong and he probably thought I was in the wrong.
“Fisticuffs never came about, thank God. Over the years we snubbed one another but then you grow up.
“We had a meet and had a little cuddle and a chat about it. And he is a good guy.
“All those wasted years… .”
