Harry Potter actor Miriam Margoyles has paid an unorthodox tribute to her co-star Robbie Coltrane.
Coltrane died aged 72 on Saturday (local time) and tributes from fellow Potter actors have been flowing.
While many have been fulsome, Margoyles, who played Professor Sprout in the films, delivered a somewhat unusual tribute to the Hagrid actor on BBC Radio after she was contacted following the news of his death.
"I didn't know he was ill. He just put on too much weight, stupid boy!" she said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"That's the problem, he loved to drink. I used to wag my finger at him.
"It's such a waste to think of all that talent, that fire, he acted with passion. He was really wonderful," she added.
She also said he "had a heart of gold".
"Huge in stature, in personality, in heart. He was exceptional," she told listeners.
Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the Potter franchise, also paid tribute to Coltrane, saying on Instagram he was "heartbroken".
"Heartbroken to hear that Robbie is gone. I'll never forget the smell of cigars and beard glue - a wonderful combination.
"No one else on this planet could of played Hagrid, only Robbie.
"Just as Hagrid was in the books and films, Robbie was in life - warm, compassionate and hilarious. A giant hearted man who was still looking out for us even decades later. Sending love to his family. See you on the other side, Bobser," Grint said.
Coltrane's more than four-decade-long career ranged from James Bond film roles to the lead in the 1990s British TV series Cracker, as criminal psychologist Dr. Edward 'Fitz' Fitzgerald.
His agent Belinda Wright said he had died in hospital near Falkirk in Scotland, Britain's PA Media reported.
