* WhatCouldHaveBeen: After the passing of Creator/RichardHarris, his family wanted O'Toole to take up the role of [[Film/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]] due to the close friendship between the two actors. The studio decided against it, worried that he too would die before the series concluded. Ironically O'Toole would pass away two years ''after'' the release of the final film.

!!Tropes relating to the man:
* TheAlcoholic: He was a notorious drinker right up until the late seventies when he had to have surgery to have his pancreas and a large portion of his stomach removed. He had a period of sobriety before reducing his intake.
* BadassBaritone: His rich smooth voice was one of his most famous features and it only got deeper as he got older.
* ByronicHero: Creator/BrianBlessed described him as such, in that he was truly mad, bad and dangerous to know. A brilliant actor, poet and wit who was also a hedonistic, self-destructive {{jerkass}}.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He was capable of moments of both great kindness and great cruelty.
* TheNicknamer: When he first met Creator/OmarSharif, he insisted on calling him "Cairo Fred", because there wasn't a movie star in the world named Omar Sharif.[[note]]He was technically correct: Sharif's birth name was Michel Chalhoub.[[/note]] Creator/ToshiroMifune was "Toshy", Phyllida Law (an actor he worked with in Bristol) was "Virgin Vinegar", Creator/KatharineHepburn was "Nags" and Creator/VanessaRedgrave was "Big Van".
* NoHitWonder: As mentioned above, he held a record of eight Oscar nominations without ever winning one. When he was given an honourary one in 2001, he said he'd seriously considered turning it down, as he was still working and "wanted to win the lovely bugger outright."
* NotAMorningPerson: "The man who invented mornings was no Christian. I prefer to go straight into the afternoon".
* ThePrimaDonna: To give one example, when a production refused to send a car to take him to work, he replied, "No car, no me".
* RagsToRiches: He came from a working class background in Leeds.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Creator/BrianBlessed. The two had a relationship which veered from Blessed dragging O'Toole around his house yelling a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, to bonding over a mutual love of Shakespeare, to getting into fistfights over interpretations of Shakespeare to eventually co-starring in and co-producing a filmatization of ''Macbeth''.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: O'Toole's most striking feature has always been his gorgeous bright blue eyes.

-->I used to be scared stiff of the nuns: their whole denial of womanhood – the black dresses and the shaving of the hair – was so horrible, so terrifying...Of course, that's all been stopped. They're sipping gin and tonic in the Dublin pubs now, and a couple of them flashed their pretty ankles at me just the other day.
