Starring as the lead in a film based on one of the most successful video game franchises of all time sure sounds glamorous on paper. Not so much, in reality. Actor Bob Hoskins, who played a slightly balding version of our dear Mario, named his biggest acting regret in a recent Q&A style interview with The Guardian. His answer?
What is the worst job you’ve done?
Super Mario Brothers.What has been your biggest disappointment?
Super Mario Brothers.If you could edit your past, what would you change?
I wouldn’t do Super Mario Brothers.
Even the loyalist Nintendo die-hard would prefer the Super Mario Bros. movie find permanent residency in a pit of lava, rather than their own DVD player. It’s kind of refreshing to hear Hoskins share our sentiments. Of course, I assume that working with John Leguizamo everyday could also have caused feelings of regret and disappointment.
