RAY Winstone has reignited his ongoing feud with Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson – branding him “very rude” and “up his own a**e”.
The actor, 68, has had a 20-year feud with the Hollywood A-lister after the pair worked together on the Oscar-winning film The Departed back in 2006.
Ray appeared on Eamonn Holmes and Paul Coyte’s podcast Things We Like with Eamonn & Paul, where discussed his feud with the star.
Eamonn asked Ray if he liked Jack, to which the Sexy Beast actor replied: “No. We just didn’t get on. I just found him… Listen, he’s getting older, and maybe there are a lot of things going on with him.
“I didn’t like him, I thought he was so far up his own a**e it was unbelievable. And he was very rude.
“He was very rude to me, he was rude to my wife, if he had been a younger man, I’d have definitely knocked him out.”
Despite not seeing eye-to-eye, Ray praised his talent in the industry.
He said: “But you’ve got to give him because he’s an older man, much older than me.
“He’s fantastic at what he does, brilliant at what he does. He’s a great writer as well, by all accounts, at least that’s what he kept telling us.’
“But at the same time, I can’t make an excuse for him. My grandfather was an old man, but he was a gentleman. He was a lovely man.
‘So f**k him, basically. Really. Why should I say I like him? I don’t. You ask me the question, you get the answer.”
The pair both starred in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-award winning movie about a mob boss.
Ray has previously addressed his feud with Jack back in 2014 at the BAFTA Life In Pictures event in 2014.
He said: “Me and Jack did not seem to get on too well. Maybe he was going through a funny time.
“Everyone else loves him to death – I just wanted him to be a great guy. We just did not click.”
Ray later admitted that he had no idea why Jack did not warm to him and he admitted he disliked stars who were “arrogant”.
‘It doesn’t worry me. It doesn’t shock me. You clash a little bit. He’s not the first person I’ve clashed with. He won’t be the last,” he said in an interview with The Independent.
“I don’t like arrogance. There’s no need for it. This kind of feeling of being above everyone else.
“We all end up in the same hole in the ground.
“But some people have this smarmy little side mouth…. And there are different ways of dealing with that.
“You either say your piece and tell them to shut the f**k up. Or you punch them in the mouth.”
Although they may have clashed, Ray insisted he would work with Jack again if the opportunity arose.
He added: “Of course I want to work with him again! He’s a fantastic actor.”

‘ABSOLUTELY heartbroken’ trainer Richard Hannon has addressed the tragic death of Harry’s Girl at Royal Ascot.
The two-year-old filly, who was co-owned by Harry Kane’s former agent Will Salthouse, suffered a severe leg injury in the first race on day two.
She was travelling at the back of the stands-side group in the 5f Queen Mary Stakes when she appeared to stumble.
Jockey Sean Levey did his absolute best to stop the filly running as quickly as possible – but sadly she could not be saved.
Classic-winning trainer Hannon, who was another of her co-owners, posted a message on X describing his despair at the sad loss.
He wrote: “After the highs of Tuesday, we are absolutely heartbroken to have lost Harry’s Girl on Wednesday afternoon at Ascot.
“She was a lovely filly with a fantastic character.
“Our sympathies go out to everyone that looked after her and loved her at home, and of course to her owners.”
ITV Racing presenter Ed Chamberlin said the incident was ‘horrible’ – and cast a shadow over the contest won by Aidan O’Brien’s True Love.
He said: “We’ve just had this confirmed by Ascot – Harry’s Girl did suffer a fatal injury.
“Our thoughts go out to connections.
“It’s desperately sad for the Hannon team after they celebrated with their winner Haatem yesterday.”
The filly was a big favourite at Hannon’s Marlborough yard.
Speaking before the race, the popular trainer said: “She’s a very precocious filly who won well on debut at the Craven meeting and did everything right bar win at York in the Listed Marygate Fillies’ Stakes.
“I really thought she’d win that day and she appeared home and hosed but got caught close home by a fast finisher on the other side of the track which she didn’t see coming.
“Her work has been very good, and she looks magnificent in her coat.
“It’s a typically competitive Queen Mary, but she’s a strong traveller with plenty of boot and this race has been the plan all along so I’m hopeful of a bold show.”
Harry’s Girl, who was bought for £36,000 last August, won on debut at Newmarket in April this year.
She was then a hugely promising second in a Listed contest at York last month.
The daughter of former champion sprinter Harry Angel was given odds of 16-1 for the Royal Ascot Group 2 but her trainer clearly thought a lot of her.
Sadly she will never get the chance to fulfill that potential.

THE Love Island stars played a brutal game of beer pong in last night’s episode – with one Islander turning on the girl he’s coupled up with.
During the game, Love Island bombshell Yasmin Pettet – who is coupled up with Shea Mannings – locked lips with Harry Cooksley and Dejon Noel Williams.
But it got even more awkward when Shea was tasked with shaking the hand of the Islander he believes is playing the biggest game.
His co-stars were stunned when he reached across to shake Yasmin’s hand and added: “Maybe she’s put it on me to try and stay in the villa.
“I’m not sure, we’ll have to see how that goes.”
Yasmin didn’t deny Shea’s shock claim and simply replied: “Fair enough.”
Earlier this week Yasmin made a shock proposal when she offered Dejon and Toni Laites a threesome.
Meg Moore – who is coupled up with Dejon – questioned Yasmin’s motives after she snogged him last night.
She said: “Wait, how can you still be happy in your couple if you’re snogging everyone but the man you’re coupled up with?”
Yasmin fired back: “It’s just a game,” to which Meg responded: “But you’re saying you’re happy in your couple.”
Also during the game, Meg branded Yasmin and Shea the most “mismatched couple”.
She said: “For the pure fact Yasmin’s trying to do threesomes with the person I’m coupled up with.”
But Yasmin later brushed it off as she reflected on the game in the beach hut.
She said: “I think Meg definitely wanted to get me back with that.
“But at the end of the day, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw f****** stones.”

GOODNIGHT Sweetheart fans will finally get the answers they have been searching for thanks to a brand new project in the works.
Viewers of the programme will learn the fate of Gary Sparrow after many questions were left unanswered following the show’s controversial axing by the BBC.
The programme, starring Nicholas Lyndhurst of Only Fools and Horses fame, originally ran from 1993 until 1999.
Fans were left over-the-moon when it made a one-off comeback in 2016 with many who worked on the show hoping that it paved the way for another full-length series but the BBC failed to commission it for anything else.
Now, the show’s writing duo, Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, have teamed up to pen a new novel to explore what happened to Gary after the end of the TV programme.
But the pair have already been forced to call upon fans help.
The writers are aiming to raise £30,000 via a crowd-funding site in order to bring the book to life.
At the time of publication, this petition had already amassed a whopping £11,500 in donations from 211 supporters.
The book will only be published if the fund manages to reach the target amount.
Teasing what is to come in the novel, a synopsis reads: “The new book will begin a little before the events of the 2016 televised story, Many Happy Returns, because though Gary’s life since the end of the war has been mundane, in the spring of 1962, things are starting to heat up when Marilyn Monroe sings at President Kennedy’s birthday party in that skin-tight dress.
“When Gary first met Phoebe, he told her the girl he left behind in L.A. went by the name of Marilyn Monroe.
“It was just his little private joke. It had never occurred to him that he would be living in the past, married to Phoebe when Marilyn became an international sex symbol in the 1950s.
“For years, every time Phoebe’s seen Marilyn on the silver screen, her insecurities have overwhelmed her.
“What if Gary were to go back to Hollywood to regain the love of his life?
“That is, until Marilyn’s shock death at the age of 36, which brings all of Phoebe’s old feelings back to the surface.”
Speaking of their decision to pen a new book and their hopes for its publication, authors Laurence and Maurice said: “Of all the shows we have ever written, Goodnight Sweetheart has the biggest and most devoted fanbase.
“We were thrilled at the audience response to the 2016 special. Like our fans, we want to know what happened next to Gary Sparrow and his two families.
“And now, Idiot Box [publishers] are giving us and you the chance to find out!”
The TV show’s premise followed Gary Sparrow as he lived a double life being able to time-hop between 1990s London and the Second World War in the 1940s.
