>Oliver Reed died from a heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta, on the afternoon of 2 May 1999.[57] According to witnesses, he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac,[58] in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub. His bar bill totaled a little over 270 Maltese lira (almost 450 GBP; about 594.72 USD). After beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling, Reed suddenly collapsed, dying while en route to hospital in an ambulance.[59]
Honestly outside of dying that's one of the tamer Oliver Reed stories.
Isaac Hughes
There’s a Royal Navy legend about that, being on the boat that killed him
Andrew Bennett
>Had a tattoo on his penis. According to Patrick Warburton, Reed showed him the tattoo the first day they shot together.
Lmao based

Based hellraiser

>he drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac christ what a fucking tank, I'd get through the pints and then maybe a few shots of rum before tapping out
Jeremiah Phillips
>I didn't say I glassed him I said he passed me a pint once

Oliver Reed was a god among men, and if any of you cunts have something negative to say about him, I'll fucking shank you.
Elijah Hill

They don't make men like this anymore

>Marcus Aurelius is drunk, Maximus. We mortals are but whiskey and piss. Whiskey and piss, Maximus!
Logan Rogers
>Lager and rum maximus! lager and rum!

Some guy who worked in the set said Reed was basically forced into this final drinking contest by some sailors, he was already close to death at the time but couldn't back out.
Carter Diaz
God I wish I was that masculine. What a fucking god.
>Ultimately, we're all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how but, what we can decide is how we meet that end, in order that we are remembered, as men.

>Shadows and rum, Maximus. Shadows and rum!
Jayden Reed
something tells me olly wasn't the type who had to be talked into a drink or 20
Zachary Howard
how the fuck is this even possible how do you not die from being poisoned
Jose Clark
Holy shit it's real. Most of these posts are anons just making shit up
Owen Butler
The guy who played the fat trader said he was sober for many years, but was pressured into drinking at the bar
Mason Lewis
By being a seasoned alcoholic. The bassist for Guns n Roses was on a gallon of vodka a day up until he almost died. What reed drank probably wouldn't have even got him through his morning.
Noah Green
That's quite sad. He was badass in Gladiator, could have done more movies after that had he lived.
Xavier Miller
imagine being this stupid. and here i thought james gandolfini was the king of morons
Samuel Davis
He was already in his 60's, the only other alternative would have been to waste away. He went out like he lived. Roaring.
Jayden Richardson
I could do that if I had 24 hours
Lincoln James
he was a Faggot
Jayden Anderson
apparently Reed had been sober for a while up to that point, so its even more impressive
yeah you simp like that because it sounds romantic, to have an addiction and have the money to squander on it. yet if someone else does it he's a just pathetic drunk spasming in his puke.
