Although not known to everyone, Alan Rickman and Jimmy Fallon have a history together, along with and recent Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, as the late night host and the "Sherlock" star have both attempted to impersonate the voice of the iconic "Harry Potter" actor - but Mr. Rickman's had enough!
In a recent Alan Rickman Jimmy Fallon interview, the 69 year-old English actor best known for playing professor Severus Snape in all eight "Harry Potter" movies took revenge on the "Saturday Night Live" alum, who has made good fun of the actor's deep voice more than once on stage.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Alan Rickman and Jimmy Fallon "rift" first began in 2013, when Fallon and Cumberbatch did their best impressions of the "Die Hard" villain Hans Gruber in a game they called a "Rickman-Off."
Cumberbatch, who has taken his own very deep voice in good humor in gags like a hilarious appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," is famous for his accurate impression of the "Sense and Sensibility" actor, but he wasn't anywhere around at the time of the Alan Rickman Jimmy Fallon interview, so professor Snape just took it out on the "SNL" man!
The Daily Mail reports that the Alan Rickman and Jimmy Fallon issue continued as the actor appeared on the talk show last Wednesday to promote "A Little Chaos," a film he recently directed and starred in alongside Oscar winner and "Sense and Sensibility" co-star Kate Winslet.
According to Just Jared, Rickman told the "Tonight Show" host that the was offended by Fallon's impression of him with Cumberbatch, and he demanded an apology in the most un-serious way possible: armed with two balloons full of helium to cover up his very iconic and deep voice.
The results are, of course, hilarious, so don't miss the Alan Rickman and Jimmy Fallon video below!
