Gary Oldman Says ‘Thank God’ for ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Dark Knight’ Movies Because ‘They Saved Me’
Gary Oldman is thankful for "Harry Potter" and "Batman" movies for giving him career stability.
I mean we all know what about clickbait and titles. The headline here is a perfect example. Because it makes it seem like Gary oldman wasn't getting offers potentially for movies or didn't have opportunities for movies. And he was worried about going under or not being able to support himself etc etc. But if you read the actual article, it's made very clear that he wasn't sparse for opportunity as an actor, but rather these movies gave him an opportunity to be with his children more while they were all going through a very rough time and still earn an income presumably to support their lifestyle and this is what he feels saved him personally.
Gary oldman is a good dad. And it seems like he wanted to put that first and foremost. Which I think is wonderful. I was raised by a father who was given soul custody of his kids during a very messy divorce. And now that I'm older i can see how much sacrifice he made for me and my sister. Cool that gary oldman seems willing to do the same for his kids.
Asking a question as a separated dad which I think I know the answer to. I get my kids every other week. Outside of that I also take them one on one (I have 3 of which 2 are special needs) when it isn't my week. I have no idea why my ex doesn't do the same. She comments I never have alone time because I'm using my week off from them, but I love my kids and they deserve one on one time. They also never leave my house early when the week is up but they're always eager to come to my house even when it's not time to show up yet.
I've always assumed it will pay off in the long run and they're aware.
From one divorced dad to another... just keep doing what you know is right. Your kids will see it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
As a kid who survived through this maybe not special needs. But a kid who's arrived through this. The best you can do is just show them how much you love and care for them no matter what. That will mean the world to them. Also, just hope your ex-whaterver e isn't a bitch who warps and twists your kid's minds. Cuz I don't say this lightly. My dad with the way the court systems are was not awarded full custody lightly. The court system in America very much prefers the mother. And my mother was a crazy psychotic bitch who made me go to a fucking two week inpatient facility because she fucked up my head so bad. But my dad is the greatest thing I've ever had and he is caring and he has sacrificed more than I think anyone will ever know. And for all of that I said the best you can do is just put love first. Because love is what ultimately prevailed for my father despite my mother's twisted fucked up words
“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.” Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.
If those movies are what he call least amount of work, I love to see one where he went all in. Cause he was awesome in this ones.
Well, least amount of work for him. He always brings his A-game from what I've seen, but a nice payday for a fraction of the number of days worked is nice!
He's so good in Slow Horses at the moment.
It's unbelievable to see him in Slow Horses and then see him in this article photo. He's so good at disguising himself.
The make up to show him as a heavy drinker is excellent.
gary oldman is part chameleon
It wasn't TipToes?
I mean he TOTALLY looks like Mathew McConaughey’s twin brother despite being ten years older…
Really it must have been the guys from COPS that messed it all up.
“soul custody”
