Is John Hurt Related to William Hurt? Elephant Man Actor Is Believed to Be William’s Brother
It is quite easy to get confused and to believe that John and William are related because of their common surname; however, these two late veteran actors are not related. Many people get confused because of their involvement in the same industry too.
The only thing that is common between both of them is their passion, talent, and love for acting. John is a British actor born in Derbyshire while William is an American born in Washing Ton.
Thus, there does not seem to be any linkage between actors’ families too. It can be said that the similarity between both actors’ last names is a mere coincidence and not anything else. However, they must have come across during their career.
Something else that is common between both actors is that they both were nominated for Academy Awards. Although they did not win, it is quite impressive to be nominated for the world’s most prestigious award.
