![[oliver-reed-7731.webp|250]] You'll probably know him from [[Gladiator (2000)]], [Oliver! (1968)](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/oliver) or for being a [[Hellraiser|hellraiser]]. If you want to learn more about his exploits I recommend the book [["Hellraisers" by Robert Sellers]]. ## My Yearly Pilgrimage To The Pub Where He Died My girlfriend's family is from [[Places/Countries/Malta]], so we usually holiday there every year. And it was in Malta whilst filming [[Gladiator (2000)]] that he [suffered a heart attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Reed#Death) in a pub (called [[The Pub]]) after a drinking with some sailors. The pub has become a kind of shrine to Reed and is a pilgrimage destination for his fans. So me being one of them, every year I make way to the pub and drink in his honour. ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-1.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-2.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-3.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-4.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-5.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-6.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-7.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-8.jpg]] ![[the-pub-valletta-oliver-reed-9.jpg]] ## Photos ![[oliver-reed-3344.jpg]] ![[oliver-reed-7770.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7746.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7734.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7739.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7737.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7730.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7724.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-7725.webp]] ![[oliver-reed-404030.jpg]] *** Created: [[2024-02-25]]
