I found this out by chance due to a random youtube video remembering him. It's been a few days and it's new to me. RIP John Hurt.
In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living.

Same here. Although I didn't really know who he was anyway. But the news mentioned it yesterday.

Stick to the awful Jared Leto movies.

Same here. Saw a "remembering John Hurt" thing and thought, "why do we have to remember him?". One click later and I find out he died two fricking days ago! Two fricking days! Yet I cant get away from all the trash thats considered talent today when ever they get a sandwhich.
I blame Bowie. He always was one for starting trends.

I pity anyone who didn't know John Hurt's work. Today I was watching Planet Earth: Human Planet and the narrator was Mr. Hurt. I would rather be known for my speaking voice than anything.
Just a thought. Angelina Jolie, Cuba Gooding and Jarod Lento have Oscars but not John Hurt.

People still think Oscars mean something in 2017? For the likes of Bacon, Cusack and Buscemi to get a nomination at this stage would almost be a stain on their legacies. The ceremony is a political joke.

Exactly. Just like nominating Gibson this year to show they forgive him. The DGA didn't think his direction of Hacksaw Ridge was worthy but the Academy did?
Weird

John Hurt's death got less coverage than many much less talented entertainers because he was an actor rather than a "star" or a "celebrity". There's a big difference. His talent was acting, not self-promotion or making a public spectacle of himself.
