He can only do one accent (his own), but that’s OK. I mean, multiple accent expertise is not essential for an actor seeking world fame — just look at Sean Bean. Raymond looks and sounds like a bear with a thorn in its paw but this uber-gruffness is what keeps us hooked. Because, dear readers, he is a right man. A proper dead manly MAN. So manly, in fact, that you can’t even really imagine him being a young lad — even though there is cinematic evidence of this. I bet when he goes out for dinner he just has raw steaks with a peppered testosterone sauce. I bet when he orders a drink he has a pint of whiskey with some rusty nails in it. I bet he smells of Aramis and Ronseal topped off with a top note of leather.

Oh yes. And what about Sean Bean in his glory days? And dead hottie Robert Mitchum? And French dead hottie Jean Gabin?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Great description. Not for me though.
I interviewed Ray Winstone once for paper I worked for – feel in love with him then, still in love with him now. An amazing hour of my life, hehe. I was like a teenage schoolgirl who’d just met her boyband idol
