Ray Winstone Talks Starring in ‘The Gentlemen’ After ‘Falling Out’ With Guy Ritchie and His Gangster Persona: ‘My Wife Always Says, “Why Do You Look Like You’re Going to Kill Someone?”‘

With 'The Gentlemen,' 'Damsel' and 'A Bit of Light,' Winstone has three projects coming out almost back-to-back.

Winstone’s long-standing status as the go-to man to depict violent approach-with-caution individuals or British mob bosses continues to serve him, however, as “The Gentleman” — Guy Ritchie ’s eight-part Netflix spinoff of his 2019 gangster comedy feature of the same name — proves. Winstone credits 1997’s “Nil by Mouth” — Gary Oldman’s writing and directorial debut, in which he played an abusive husband alongside Kathy Burke — as bringing him back from a lengthy period of cinematic inactivity. Then there’s smaller low-budget indie titles such as New Zealand period action-thriller “Tracker,” Tim Roth’s “The War Zone” and boxing drama “Jawbone” (written by his friend Johnny Harris).
