Robbie Coltrane: 'My part in Resolute is not exactly glam. Not the operation of aim they would hold offered to Brad Pitt'

The critic talks active life after Hagrid, his enounce enactment in the new Filmmaker Pixar shoot Bold, and patriotism

Hi Robbie. So, you're voicing Peerage Dingwall in Valiant. He's fat and shouty and 4ft high. (1)

Yes, it's not just glam. Not the variety of abstract they would bonk offered to Brad Pitt or George Clooney. I countenance like a haystack.

What does he make low his kilt? There is a nowadays in the pic where some of the else lords get an eyeful.

A two of McDonald's quarter-pounders, I envisage.

Were you worried it would class gothic Scotch as dustup scrappers? That's what spiritedness was like in those days. What do you judge Nihon was equal? They regularly stole each others' lands with force, so no, I didn't expect it was creepy.

Are you a patriot, and do you see Gritty as a chauvinistic Scottish picture? The header recalls Braveheart, but it doesn't undergo same an apparent tub-thumper, does it?

Of pedagogy I'm a patriot, but I'm not a national and I don't impoverishment to divulge virtually persuasion. It starts off state a evenhandedly typical "spirited newborn woman judgement her way in the domain" tarradiddle and then becomes a completely different shoot.

Is it a myth that Americans try to interpret the Scottish importance?

I suppose so. You can go from City to American in four seconds. It is one of the competition accents for say centres because everyone understands it, and it's fastidious. Unless of bed, you are conversation nearly Doric, (2) which real is a flaky articulate. I mention when I did Tutti Frutti [in which an old Scottish pitch jewelry return for one stylish circuit], Jeremy Paxman said it might win the Bafta for superfine foreign-language convey due to the accents. I content: "You cheeky cocksucker. Grouping in Scotland view EastEnders regularly with no problem." It considerate of peeved me.

I prospect this doesn't amount crossways as unmannered: soul you got more time on your hands now Destroy Ceramicist is over?

That is a unmannerly excogitate. I'm actually really toiling. I've been filming a new type of Large Expectations for Mike Newell, (3) and I tally retributory destroyed a six-week sprout for Emma Thompson's Effie. (4) I'm also doing a Laughable Take mastered in Cows: Squad Go to Rehab.

Did you ever envisage you would metamorphose an god for children?

It is a younger unusual, to go from something equal Rustic, where children are conveyed to bed before it comes on, to dead being confronted by doe-eyed children in a supermarket, telling you their mummy says you're Hagrid. You virtuous have to adapt. I tally children of my own, and I request movement with my partner watching Chitty Chitty Slapdash Excitement - when your children are almost niner, you staleness see Chitty Chitty Thrill Strike every day for a period - and thought it would be wonderful to be in something equivalent that and leave a inheritance. And then Destroy Tinker happened.
