The Friendly Dalek 1,616 Posted July 24 That's awful news. I loved him in Blade Runner and The Hitcher. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MVronsky78 93 Posted July 24 Very sad news, was a privilege meeting him at LFCC 2016 - when I had a longer chat at the photoshoot than I have had with many stars at the autograph desk! He was such an inquisitive fellow, a very nice man. It just shows you that you never know when you might not get a chance to see people again - so if you want something this weekend, go for it!

jayjedi 0 Posted July 24 Very sad news and I was gutted he didn't make it to the NEC earlier this year but this probably explains why he couldn't attend, and the above post is so true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IlonaTijhuis 28 Posted July 24 My parents got a notification message about him passing away and I couldn't find it on the internet so I thought my parents were joking. Then I heard it on Dutch news and I was shocked. Could have met him a few months ago but didn't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAGIC MONKEY 30 Posted July 24 All, it is my sad duty to inform you that Rutger Hauer has passed away. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49098435 I was hoping he'd be around for a while longer so I could get him to sign something else for me. He was a nice guest at the last LFCC he came to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CosmicAvatar 430 Posted July 25 One of my favourite actors - I was so happy to meet him at LFCC in 2016, even if he did reduce me to a dribbling idiot when he spoke to me in the photoshoot... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graphic_Delusions 512 Posted July 25 Such sad news. Am happy to have met him, but do regret not getting the photo or getting a second autograph the next day. My memories of Rutger that weekend was approaching him at his table where gave me a cheeky tongue out face while taking a bite from his Mars bar. Also as I left the venue, I saw him having a smoke outside, visibly very tired from a long day. He will be missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantasyfan 130 Posted July 25 very sad news ....... I loved him in "LADYHAWKE" .....I remember it was the first movie I rent at a VHS-Store, many years ago ..... I was fascinated by the story and his portrait of Etienne Navarre , the unlucky Captain victim of a horrible curse ( with her beauty Lady Isabeau) was superb. What a beautiful and romantic movie!!! I liked also his role in Blade Runner , a real masterpiece. R.I.P. dear Rutger.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
