Coltrane Hates His Potter Beard

Veteran Scottish actor [Robbie Coltrane](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/robbie-coltrane) has one complaint about starring in the [Harry Potter](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/harry-potter) movies - he hates undergoing the hours of make-up it takes to attach his character's beard.

Coltrane - who plays HOGWARTS' hairy caretaker RUBEUS HAGRID - admits he's basking in the success of the big screen adaptations of [Jk Rowling](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/jk-rowling)'s popular books, but wishes he didn't have to sit through the same "horrible" routine every day on set.

He complains, "It's revolting having your face covered in glue. It's a horrible, horrible thing and the only downside of these wonderful films for me.

"It also means that kids never recognise me. They just know Hagrid - and I am buried under tons of make-up, beard and costume."
