The Super Mario Bros.<\/strong> movie is the gift that keeps on giving. While the 1993 film was critically panned, it wiggled its way into the hearts of many thanks to its reputation and interviews in the years that followed. The late Bob Hoskins<\/a>, who starred as Mario, has particularly garnered interest due to how much he reportedly hated working on the film.<\/p>\n

But, in an interview from back in the day that’s resurfaced thanks to @ATRightMovies<\/a>, Hoskins apparently didn’t even know that the film was based on a video game! You know, one of the most successful video games of all time<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Really, it’s not that surprising, but his response below is pretty hilarious. Hoskins reveals in the interview that he was told that Super Mario Bros.<\/a> was a video game by his son, who then proceeded to show him the little red pixelated plumber jumping up and down. His thoughts? “I used to play King Lear”.<\/p>\n
