Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1950, Robbie Coltrane was born in Scotland.
His movie career began in 1980 with a non-speaking cameo part in the movie Flash Gordon. His acting career lasted nearly 40 years, but he had to stop when his health deteriorate too much and he passed in 2022 at the age of 72.
I first got to know him from a comedy where he starred with Monty Python's Eric Idle called "Nuns On The Run". It wasn't a great movie, but I remember laughing my ass off in parts of it. I mean, men dressing up as nuns are always hilarious, right?
Anyway, none of this is the reason for his badassedness. That's for one particular role. He will forever be known as Rubeus Hagrid, as he should be. And that role and the way he portrayed the gentle giant is what makes him a total badass!
