Hoskins Quit Booze For Wife



Movie legend Bob Hoskins credits his wife with forcing him to quit drinking alcohol - because he would have died if he'd carried on boozing.

The Mona Lisa star curbed his red wine intake when wife Linda told him it made him behave stupidly, and he thanks her for insisting he change his ways - because he was heading for certain death.

Hoskins says, "I thought it was a social thing, but she got fed up with it and said, 'Enough'. She's very clever, my wife. She worked out how to get me to stop. She made me aware that when I drank I was being a complete pain in the a**e.

"I probably wouldn't be alive without her. I'd have drunk myself into a complete stupor and died."
