The scandals of Britain’s legendary Bad boy and violent alcoholic

Oliver Reed, the British actor, holds a distinguished position among history's legendary drinkers for his remarkable alcohol consumption and the extravagant lifestyle he embraced in pursuit of his love for drink. While history boasts numerous noteworthy imbibers, Reed stands out as a truly singular individual.

He was a great actor. Fantastic screen presence….

[@stevedunn5546]

He was a very well spoken British actor. And a legend. They don't make them like him any more.

He was excellent in this part, as was Robert Newton.

He was brilliant as Bill Sykes and I thought he was great as the seargant in The Triple Echo.

A true Legend of Life was Ollie. Moon, O'Toole, Harris and Burton together, what a Party that would've been.

Get ahold of the book " Hellraisers" which tells tales of those very actors' drunken escapades over their careers. ( except Moon of course) they were unbelievable!!! The book goes on to highlight a few famous actresses with heavy drinking problems. Liz Taylor was 1 of them. U learn new things every day.

[@Lucinda-zr9su]

How ridiculous that mr. Reeds movie "Devils" from 1971 and a true story that happened in the 1500's , is still banned. There have been copies avail that were hugely cut. I think we are mature enough to see this controversial true story.

Thank you for your comment

[@andrewbutcher3391]

I saw that…it was shocking…

[@terencerollins7917]

I find this so sad. An incredible actor, and when sober, such an articulate conversationalist. But when drunk, he was an awful & objectionable person. Such a waste. We all have faults and I look back with fondness on his work, but I imagine there are lots of folk who endured appalling behavior from him. What a dichotomy.

The first Musketeer film was cut into two to make two films . He and other actors was only paid for one of the films . Then of course they made the 3rd musketeer film .

What a waste 😮

[@ALegendsLegacy-45]

A waste of what ?

[@freddyfurrah3789]

Ollie's remarks about feminism were not controversial.
