Eamonn asked Ray if he liked Jack, to which the Sexy Beast actor replied: "No. We just didn't get on. I just found him... Listen, he's getting older, and maybe there are a lot of things going on with him.
"I didn't like him, I thought he was so far up his own a**e it was unbelievable. And he was very rude.
"He was very rude to me, he was rude to my wife, if he had been a younger man, I'd have definitely knocked him out."

Despite not seeing eye-to-eye, Ray praised his talent in the industry.
He said: "But you've got to give him because he's an older man, much older than me.
"He's fantastic at what he does, brilliant at what he does. He's a great writer as well, by all accounts, at least that's what he kept telling us.'
"But at the same time, I can't make an excuse for him. My grandfather was an old man, but he was a gentleman. He was a lovely man.

"Everyone else loves him to death – I just wanted him to be a great guy. We just did not click."
Ray later admitted that he had no idea why Jack did not warm to him and he admitted he disliked stars who were "arrogant".
'It doesn't worry me. It doesn't shock me. You clash a little bit. He's not the first person I've clashed with. He won't be the last," he said in an interview with The Independent.
"I don't like arrogance. There's no need for it. This kind of feeling of being above everyone else.

"We all end up in the same hole in the ground.
"But some people have this smarmy little side mouth.... And there are different ways of dealing with that.
"You either say your piece and tell them to shut the f**k up. Or you punch them in the mouth."
Although they may have clashed, Ray insisted he would work with Jack again if the opportunity arose.

He added: "Of course I want to work with him again! He's a fantastic actor."
