RIP to an absolutely wonderful actor who turned Shapes and Hans Gruber into iconic film characters.
Actor Alan Rickman, known for films including Harry Potter, Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, has died at the age of 69, his family has said.
The star had been suffering from cancer, a statement said.
