Winstone was born in Homerton, in the London Borough of Hackney.His
family was originally from Cirencester, Gloucestershire – half of them
moving to London, the other half to Wales. Moving via Plaistow to
Enfield when he was seven, his father, Raymond Andrew Winstone, Sr.,
ran a fruit and vegetable business (he is now a black cab driver) while
his mother, Margaret, had a job emptying fruit machines. Winstone
recalls playing with his friends on bomb sites until 'Moors Murderers'
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were arrested for killing five children.
Winstone joined Brimsdown Primary School and then he was educated at
Edmonton County, which had changed from a grammar school to a
comprehensive upon his arrival. He didn't take to school, eventually
leaving with a single CSE (Grade 2) in Drama. Winstone had an early
affinity for acting; his father would take him to the cinema every
Wednesday afternoon. Later, he would witness Albert Finney in Saturday
Night and Sunday Morning and the bug would bite: 'I thought 'I could be
that geezer'' he said later. Other major influences included John
Wayne, James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson. After borrowing extra
tuition money from a friend's mother, a drama teacher, he took to the
stage, appearing as a Cockney newspaper-seller in a production of Emil
and the Detectives. Winstone was also a fan of boxing. Known to his
friends as Winnie, at home he was called Little Sugs (his father
already being known as Sugar – after Sugar Ray Robinson). At the age of
12, Winstone joined the famous Repton Amateur Boxing Club and, over the
next 10 years, won 80 out of 88 bouts. At welterweight, he was London
schoolboy champion on three occasions, fighting twice for England. The
experience gave him a perspective on his later career: 'If you can get
in a ring with 2,000 people watching and be smacked around by another
guy, then walking onstage isn't hard.' After a lengthy relationship
with his childhood sweetheart, Lizzie Hyde; a time Winstone describes
as 'the most blissful time of my life', he met his wife, Elaine, while
filming That Summer in 1979. They have three daughters and his two
eldest, Lois and Jaime, are both actors. Winstone was bankrupted by the Inland Revenue before his marriage, and again soon afterward. While
returning from filming an episode of Bergerac on Jersey, he was stopped
on suspicion of gun-running. A couple of years after that, he spent 72
hours in a Leeds jail cell, having been 'identified' by a member of the
public who'd seen an identikit picture of a criminal on Crimewatch UK. Winstone
lives with his wife in Roydon, Essex, still supports West Ham United.
He keeps up his physical training, being a regular at Ricky English's
gym in Watford. He is a huge fan of crooners, as well as Motown, Al
Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Paul Weller, Madness, and Ian Dury.
