Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Um, I guess? I haven't seen that movie for a long time.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Bowie, JRM, and Brody are the only three from that list that I'd agree on about the preternatural beauty (with the caveat that Bowie's the only one of the three that I actually find attractive). The rest are compelling as all get out, but I attribute that to the forces of their charisma and talent. Put the average person's personality behind their faces and you'd just have unremarkable fugliness.
Well, maybe in Kinski's case, remarkable fugliness.

I'd guess not. That scene is branded onto my eyeballs for the sheer awkwardness he suddenly sprouts and the way his hands flap uselessly and the ends of his bent arms. He's done decently with the soccer ball all movie, and now complete klutz. Killed what should have been a marvellous moment for me.

Heh. Now I want to watch it again! I don't remember that at all.
He's considerably more graceful in The Tudors!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's awesome. He's channeling Kermit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hee. The fact that I still manage to find him hot is proof of something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I found this from the link interesting:
His role on Gormenghast as the self-serving cruel Steerpike, earned Jonathan’s character this fitting description: “His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. “
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dammit, now I'm mad I missed Gormenghast....
It's on DVD.
