What a generous man.
Alan Rickman was sadly on a long list of heartbreaking celebrity deaths this year.
When the actor died, many spoke of his kindness and generosity and the story Kate Winslet recently shared only proves this further.
The actress worked with Alan in 1995 in Sense and Sensibility and has penned a beautiful tribute to the actor who passed away in January.
“But really, he was always a great big softy. If there was one word I could use to really describe Al, it would be kind. He was so kind.” Kate said in Entertainment Weekly.
She adds that at the actors memorial, actress Juliet Stevenson told the story of how he would always treat them to dinner.
”Al would go out to supper and anyone else would try and pay, he would somehow have phoned ahead or slipped his credit card ahead of the meal so no one even got a look at the check.”
”He’d just say, ‘I’ve got two words for you: ‘Harry Potter.'”
“And he became known for doing that. What can you say but thank you?”
Such a lovely story of a selfless man.
