Kind kind kind Michael Gambon.

You never took it too seriously but somehow delivered the most serious moments with all the gravitas.

Thank you for showing us what it looks like to wear greatness lightly.

We will miss you.

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Michael Gambon.

He was, on and off the camera, a legend.

You never took it too seriously but somehow delivered the most serious moments with all the gravitas.

Thank you for showing us what it looks like to wear greatness lightly.

We will miss you.
