29 April 2008 6:41 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Legendary actor Malcolm McDowell urges Hollywood stars to drink lots of alcohol - because he is convinced it helped his generation's greatest talents climb to the top.
The 64-year-old Heroes star has fond memories of epic drinking sessions with legendary contemporaries, and claims it's an important aspect of being a great actor.
He says, "I'm from a generation of actors that were really great boozers: Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, and, in his day, Tony Hopkins.
"If you're an actor, I think (drinking at lunch) is appropriate any day of the week. It's best if you can do it when you're not working."

1 April 2008 9:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Peter O'Toole has slammed London theatre because artistic directors have turned the West End into "dross".
The outspoken 75-year-old thespian is unimpressed with modern musicals and plays in the capital, accusing directors of ruining the art of acting.
He rages, "Acting today is s**t. London theatre is a graveyard and it's all because of this whole invention of the director. The power of the actor has been taken away.
"There are only three indispensable things: the audience, the actor and the author. The rest is dross."
O'Toole Grew Up With Catholic Church Abuse
28 March 2008 11:26 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Peter O'Toole has great sympathy for those abused by Catholic priests as children - because he grew up surrounded by twisted clergy.
The movie great admits he was raised as a "holy Roman acolyte" in the 1940s, and though he was never targeted or sexually abused by a priest, he knew a lot of young boys who were.
The actor says, "Unfortunately there were some wonky priests who tried to touch you up... It was abominable. I was lucky; I wasn't touched.
"The hard kids put a needle in their jeans so that when the priest went to touch them they got a nasty shock."
