From a few of his biographies it sounds like his off stage personality was a bit different to the lovable clown he portrayed on screen. He was supposed to be notoriously mean, hit the sauce later on and was a wife beater. Similar in fact to a lot of comedians like Tony Hancock, Kenneth Williams etc - fine line between comedy and tragedy and all that.

I didn't know Kenneth Williams had a wife...
