De acteercarrière van Bob Hoskins zit erop. De acteur, die voor het laatst te zien was in Snow White and the Huntsman, lijdt aan Parkinson en heeft daartoe besloten om er een einde aan te breien. Zijn manager gaf de volgende verklaring:

Bob Hoskins wishes to announce that he will be retiring from acting, following his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease last autumn. He wishes to thank all the great and brilliant people he has worked with over the years, and all of his fans who have supported him during a wonderful career. Bob is now looking forward to his retirement with his family, and would greatly appreciate that his privacy be respected at this time.

We kennen de 69-jarige Hoskins verder onder meer uit films als Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Brazil, Hook en Nixon.
