TIL that Oliver Reed (actor who played Proximo in the Movie Gladiator) died during filming of a heart attack. He became ill after allegedly drinking 3 bottles of Captain Morgan, 8 German beers, cognac, and numerous shots of whiskey at a pub in Malta. The pub was renamed “Ollie’s last pub.”

Why were they filming a heart attack?
– or breakfast, as Ollie called it.
He was my first crush that I remember seeing naked in a movie wrestling another man.
I still enjoy his singing in the movie version of Tommy (the Ken Russel film)
He sort of bellows off-key, but it works for the character
He’s forgotten more good-times than I’ll ever have.
he drank three bottles of captain morgan in one evening? Thats a LOT of pure alcohol.
I mean the 8 German beers alone coulda got him
