\n\tRay Winstone<\/a> recently recalled to The Times of London<\/a> that he once told off an unnamed director after he saw them \u201cgroping\u201d his female co-star.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had this director once,\u201d Winstone said. \u201cI was in a scene where I had to pick up this girl, and the director wanted to show me what to do. But he was groping her. That was it. I said, \u2018Don\u2019t you dare do that.\u2019 He abused his power, took advantage, and she was a good kid, you know, who seemed a little lost. Anyway, it was dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked in what matter the situation was \u201cdealt with,\u201d Winstone added, \u201cWell, back in the day, if there was a wrong \u2019un on set, 99 times out of 100 it was sorted, either by the hairy-arse riggers or sparks. I\u2019ve done it myself too, taken someone to the side to give them a slap or to tell them, in no uncertain terms, to behave. But it\u2019s a different world today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWinstone will soon star in Season 2 of \u201cThe Gentlemen<\/a>,\u201d which recently got the green light for its third season on Netflix.<\/a> In the Guy Ritchie crime drama, Winstone plays kingpin Bobby Glass. Later in his sit-down with The Times, he said the role made him realize he is \u201cgetting old.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen you\u2019re not the young lead but the old boy, who everyone says they\u2019ve got to look after because he\u2019s getting on a bit,\u201d Winstone said. The Times then asked if he had any plans to slow down his career, and Winstone quipped, \u201cWell, you\u2019ve got to pay the taxman, haven\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ray Winstone recently recalled to The Times of London that he once told off an unnamed director after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,49070,303961],"class_list":["post-876315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-ray-winstone","tag-the-gentlemen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
