Ritchie & Winstone: A Hug Ends Decades-Long Feud
6 Sep
Summary
- Winstone and Ritchie had a major falling out decades ago.
- The rift occurred when they almost worked on Lock, Stock.
- A conversation and a hug finally resolved their long-standing dispute.
Ray Winstone has reconciled with director Guy Ritchie after a decades-long falling out. The pair initially clashed years ago, nearly collaborating on Ritchie's 1998 film 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.' Winstone described the separation as a period where they were 'younger kids, arguing.'
Following years of indirect observation of Ritchie's successful career, the two actors were eventually brought back together by mutual friends. This led to a conversation where they cleared the air, with Winstone noting, 'We had a little chat and a little hug, as you do in the film business.'
Now firmly reconciled, Winstone expressed his enjoyment of working with Ritchie on the Netflix series 'The Gentlemen,' where he reprises his role as Bobby Glass. He stated that the experience met his expectations and he appreciated the collaborative process.
