Vinnie Jones has received a supportive message from Britain\'s most violent prisoner following the death of his wife.
The 54-year-old actor - whose wife passed away in July - received a message of encouragement from Charles Bronson after Vinnie recently discussed his heartbreak on \'Good Morning Britain\', where he spoke candidly about his grief.
In response to the interview, Bronson said: "Vinnie I seen you on Piers Morgan - absolute unbelievable.
"Honestly the way you come across, you\'re a proper geezer. It\'s tough for you. You\'ve lost a bloody diamond of your life.
"But the way you put it over really touched me mate. I thought f****g brilliant. It (will) get easier with time. No doubt.
"I was sitting here, I thought blimey, from hod carrier to Hollywood, marrying that beautiful, beautiful lady. You was a good husband. She was a good wife. Be strong, mate."
Bronson, 66, suffered similar heartbreak earlier this year, when his wife, Paula Williamson, was found dead at home.
Meanwhile, Vinnie - who was a professional soccer player before becoming a full-time actor - previously fought back tears as he discussed Tanya\'s six-year battle with cancer.
Reflecting on his personal anguish, the \'X Factor: Celebrity\' star said: "Christmas Eve was a tough one. They found a couple of spots on her brain.
"That was the first time we ever broke down together. She didn\'t want to ruin Christmas. She was an absolutely fantastically gorgeous woman."
