Sir Micheal Gambon, a Harry Potter star actor, has peacefully passed away at the age of 82.
In the Harry Potter movies, he is well recognized as Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Sir Michael and Laurence Olivier started their movie careers together more than 60 years ago. They were both recognized as the founding members of the Royal National Theater.
A statement on behalf of his wife, lady Gambon and his son, Fergus Gambon reads:
“We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon.
“Beloved husband and father, Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife Anne and son Fergus at his bedside, following a bout of pneumonia.”
Over his six-decade-long career, Sir Michael has been honoured to receive three Olivier Awards, Four BAFTA Awards and a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth Il for his renowned drama performances.
Sir Michael has also performed in many of William Shakespeare’s acts such as Othello, Macbeth, Coriolanus and Hamlet. His years of experience cannot be overly stressed, ranging from 1985, 1987, 1990, 1997 respectively in different award winning movies and roles.
In 1997, Gambon made his broadway debut in David Hare’s Skylight, which earned him a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play nomination.
His fame in Hollywood has been remarkable and would be missed entirely by the world.
