I never told my father I loved him before he died, and I have a lot of issues about that. They're all swimming around in my head, in my heart, unresolved, and in a way it felt fitting to dedicate the film to him. Gary Oldman dedicatediefather share on social
It's always hard when you're playing someone for a lot of people out there who are going to see the movie after reading the books.

I grew up in Deptford in south London, and at that time I used to wear toppers, loon pants and tonic suits from shops like Take 6 and Topman. I was a bit of a soul boy, but I had a very eclectic taste in music - I was into James Brown and Bowie; and I was the only kid in the neighbourhood who would also be listening to Chopin.

At 23 it was all about acting. Today it's getting my kids to school, making sure that they've done their homework. I'm in my fifties, and I'm turning into a square. Gary Oldman actfiftyhave Change image and share on social
I'm not the best audience for that because I'm not a great science-fiction fan. I just never got off on space ships and space costumes, things like that. Gary Oldman audiencecostumefan Change image and share on social
