IT’S ALAN RICKMAN’S birthday today, so obviously we’re going to celebrate him.
We’ll bring you his softer side in just a bit, but first here are his top four villainous moments, starting with what he does to poor poor Emma Thompson…
4. Harry – Love Actually
The almost-cheating villain who makes Emma Thompson cry in one of the saddest movie scenes ever…
3. Sherrif of Nottingham
The bearded sleazy villain with a hatred for Robin Hood
2. Severus Snape – Harry Potter
The complex villain, but still the bravest man Harry has ever known…
1. Hans Gruber – Die Hard
The calm, calculating villain who loves a fine suit and his detonators…
Now we don’t want to leave you thinking bad things about Mr Rickman, especially on his birthday, so here are three reasons why he’s a bit of a softie:
1. He was in this Texas video, smelling Sharleen Spiteri’s hair
2. He posed for this picture

3. He’s been devoted to his partner Rima Horton for decades
