Poor guy - loved him in Speed and 24

Biggins

I'm amazed with the drugs he's been through, he made it this far.
He was one hell of a character.
You should read about his time on the film "Apocalypse Now".
Mad stuff.

The great actor has passed away at 74 after a long battle with prostate cancer.
Best known for his great portrayal of villains in movies, he will be sorely missed.
May he rest in peace.

Here is one of my favourite scenes of all time. Masterclass acting from Hopper.

Legend. RIP

He was on his way out for a while having contracted cancer. He was a fantastic actor.
RIP Dennis.
I think there'll be a bit of a furore over his will from some news reports I remember reading.

The stuff that went on on the set of that film is hollywood legend now.
It's some career and past he's had.

Testing, testing, 1, 2 1, 2.

Two Italian plumbers have been arrested in connection with his death.

Absolutely.
I would have loved to read his autobiography.

That's the first celebrity death in a long while that is actually a great loss.

They're showing Blue Velvet in the Stillorgan cinema next month. Will definitely have to go see it now.

Very sad, but jaysus, he packed so much into his time here, just read the article in 'Uncut'
about The Last Movie, he really put the boat out..... RIP Dennis

Renn

Fúck that shít

Cheap Thrills!

I will always remember him most for Easy Rider and of course Blue velvet and many, many other classics.

So sad, his death was a long time coming, so I am glad he's released from his pain.

The loss of a true legend following the death of another true legend Ronnie James Dio.

Sad days.... RIP Dennis Hopper.

We will never see your likes again.

dr.bollocko

My favourite would be easy rider. He was fantastic in True Romance also. The scene with Christopher Walken was brilliant.

Dennis Hopper RIP

However, celebrities always seem to die in threes. Wonder who's next?

dr.bollocko

We're told his family was by his side when he passed.

Hopper had recently been suffering from prostate cancer and going through a difficult divorce from his wife Patricia.

Hopper is best known for starring in the 1969 classic "Easy Rider."

Nice that he had his family with him when he went.

Well this sucks,an absolute icon and one of the last true legends of the cinema.

For a good insight of his madness check out this.

There is a good portion of it decicated to a movie he filmed in Australia and the antics he got up to,fecking legend.

RIP Dennis. Great actor. One of my favourite films is True Romance even though he only played a small role in it he did an amazing job.

A life well lived, no regrets that man.

Was always a fan of DH. Just got me a copy of True Romance to watch later.

As Jazzy would say. RIP in Peace.

Cheap Thrills!

Where were ya when you saw influential films by him?

I saw Easy Rider in my youth no doubt in a free gaff probably late 80's.

Blue Velvet I saw in the then Fairview Cinema, I'd reckon early 90's. Having just dropped heard the song Lucy in the sky with diamonds...:cool:
