Why he might be annoying:

    He had children out of wedlock with Vanessa Redgrave (1969) and Mauricia Mena (1987).
    He finally married Redgrave four decades after they had a child (2006).
    He said on returning to Italy, 'If they made me stay in Hollywood a month longer, I would have committed suicide.'
    His accent was so thick in 'Camelot' that reportedly several of his lines had to be dubbed along with his songs.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was working as a photographer on the set of 'The Bible' when director John Huston said, 'That's the face I want.'
    He walked Natasha Richardson down the aisle when she married Liam Neeson.
    He said, 'It's better to be one of the two or three biggest European stars than a fish out of water in Hollywood.'
