Hoskins retires from acting after Parkinson’s diagnosis

Bob Hoskins’s retirement after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease brings the curtain down on a distinguished career.

The 69-year-old actor has starred in Hollywood hits such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the homegrown underworld classic The Long Good Friday.

His role as George, the petty criminal who becomes entangled with a high-class prostitute, in the 1986 hit Mona Lisa won him an Oscar nomination for actor in a leading role.
