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.”

PA‘Absolutely heartbroken’ trainer Richard Hannon has spoken out on the sad death of Harry’s Girl on day two of Royal Ascot[/caption]
Harry’s Girl, circled, was travelling in the stands-side group when she sadly broke her leg and died in the first race on day two of Royal Ascot
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.
