Bob Hoskins Really Hates That He Was in SUPER MARIO BROS…

There have definitely been actors who have expressed their dissatisfaction with some of their previous works.  Usually, they’ll sigh, look down at the floor, say a snide remark or apology to the audience, and movie on.  And then there’s Bob Hoskins, who I think has given the best response to any bad movie done by an actor ever.

The Guardian has on their site a new interview with Hoskins in the form of 27 questions.  They’re silly, random, and fun questions, but then, there came time to talk regrets.

The exact except is as follows:

What is the worst job you’ve done?

Super Mario Brothers.

What has been your biggest disappointment?

Super Mario Brothers.

If you could edit your past, what would you change?

I wouldn’t do Super Mario Brothers.

….

That was awesome.  Granted, SUPER MARIO BROS wasn’t the best movie on the planet, but for an 8-year-old who loved the game, it was fun (although seeing Dennis Hopper as King Koopa was just confusing…).  Either way, Hoskins’ bluntness was beautiful, and had me laughing out loud in work.  Hope you felt the same way.
