Gary Oldman on His "Admiration" for Churchill: "He's Incomparable" | Close Up With THR 

Gary Oldman was the perfect actor for this role.

You can tell that all of the incredibly talented actors at the table are absolutely in awe of this man and rightly so.

I love Gary Oldman. One of the best actors of our time.

Tom Hanks, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe --- The 3 actors i admired most here

Gary Oldman is a fucking legend.

The interviewer is clearly unhappy about the positive picture painted of Churchill. Oldman puts it into context to the interviewer's chagrin.

omg... Hanks, Oldman, Dafoe, Rockwell...? fuuucckkk I can't wait for the full upload of this table lol

Now that’s a good round table

For me, Oldman and Hopkins are without equal in this profession. Simply stunning talent.

agree completely with you Gary Oldman...I too admire that man Winston Churchill, I admire him for so many reasons! And you numered some of them. I also like your work in so many movies! Thank you for your excellence!

Excellent film, excellent performance by Gary Oldman. Kristen Scott Thomas was excellent too. Also makes one pine for politicians who listened to their people. A great man.

he was perfect for Winston Churchill's character, he would be the big surprise in Oscars

Just seen darkest hour and was amazed at Gary's his acting wow .

this film is EXTRAORDINARY! Chapeau to Gary Oldman, marvelous, marvelous performance, thank you.

Love Gary Oldman.

Churchill was well hersed in world politics much sooner than the age of 65. he was right beside the people that were pulling the puppets strings long before that.He stepped down/across to that step with the intention of pulling on the strings.And actually making a diffrence. Great! Great! man.

Gary Oldman is truly one our finest actors; what a fine body of work he has accomplished.

Brilliant round table experience.

Churchill was an amazing writer and speaker. He loved people. When EVERYONE thought Hitler, was a joke, he warned them about him. When Chamberlain signed in Munich, he was one of the only people who opened criticized the Agreement, even though that wasn't the popular point of view. He warned everyone about Stalin, too. He wrote articles against racism and anti-Semitism back in the 1920s. For comparison, our fucking American President can't condemn Nazis and what they stand for today and Churchill was condemning them back in the 1920s! He pushed and pushed for America to get in the war. You could say he single-handedly saved the world from the Nazis because if he never existed, we may have lost WWII. When the Nazis bombed England, he walked out to the bombed areas and helped to reconstruct to give his people courage. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM. WE DON'T HAVE LEADERS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

There is some talent around that table.....4 of the very finest, Oldman ,Rockwell , Hanks ,Defoe

Tom Hanks is like "Wow, I'm sitting at the same table as Gary Oldman.'

I can sit and listen to this man for hours I love his accent

I'm distracted by Willem Dafoe's awesome head of hair. It's just so full and youthful. But of course, hearing Gary Oldman speak about his role as Churchill is awesome too.

you dnot realise what a wealth of actor you have till you see them all together bravo

Great background on Churchill' writings and art exhibits.

I'm just waiting for the whole thing to be uploaded

I just finished watching the movie and I think this is the best performance i´ve ever seen in my life. There are other great ones but this is right up there with the incomparable. His performance, passion, genius and ability to caputure the true churchill are truly unrivaled

when do we get the full upload?

I have yet to see Oldman's performance, but Timothy Spall gave the most fascinating churchill on screen that I have ever seen, in the king's speech, even though he had little screen time

This table reunited Norman and Harry Osborn.

I want to write a movie about three lonely guys sitting at a bar talking about their life starring Sam Rockwell, Willem Dafoe, and Woody Harrelson

OMG! look at this line up!

My God, Gary Oldman pegged Churchill better than anyone. A brilliant actor.

oh, This weird host is back

Where is the full discussion

give us the whole thing THR... cmon.

Holy shit Oldman and Dafoe, two of the best actors going.

One of my favourite actor!😉

Gary Oldman is the most versatile, chameleonic actor on the planet. Non-negotiable.

Great Performance Gary Oldman for Churchill.The Best Actor Oscar 2018

Just watched " Darkest Hour" again yesterday..... Gary portrayed Churchill as a human being weighed down with the absolute insanity of the situation he had been " placed in" & was magnificent with a well deserved Oscar.... which of course should've gone to Churchill for basically saving Europe from Hitler.....MAJOR RESPECT to them both!

If he dont get the Oscar for Churchill I'd say we riot

Churchill War Rooms is a must see in London. Also the Imperial War Museum!

I'd like to have seen Brando play Churchill

Ok. So i'm going to see "Dark hours " today.

Great to see Sam Rockwell among these guys.

I’d put Timothée Chalamet or Daniel Kaluuya in this table instead of John Boyega... James Franco is passable.

1:20 James Franco be like "yes, uh huh" :->

yes as below he should have one an Oscar for Tinker Taylor Solder Spy

Everyone's read a couple of dodgy facebook posts and is suddenly a Churchill biographer.

William Manchester, THE LAST LION: WINSTON CHURCHILL, ALONE 1932-40. Greatest biography I've ever read.

This table of actors remind me of that old Sesame Street game/jingle where they showed you a bunch of objects and you had to point to which one doesn’t belong with the others. James Franco. Obviously.

Churchill-The greatest PM we ever had 🇬🇧

Hold up,did I just notice James Franco there?

James Franco doesn’t need to be there

A great great great performance of Gary Oldman... He actually incarnated the giant called Churchill!!!!

Did he not mention Brendan Gleason as Churchill?????

anyone thinks Sam Rockwell looks a lot like young Gary Oldman?

Simon Ward played the role of Winston Churchill in Young Winston not Robert Hardy.

Give Gary Oldman the Oscar! & Nominate Tom Hanks. Why is John Boyega there?

Gary is singular..and im not even talking about doing Churchill.

I remember the original, brilliant man, took the nation thru the war!

"You cannot reason with a tiger, when your head is in its mouth."

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the best❤

Difficult to believe that Gary Oldman played Zorg in Fifth Element, Gordon in Batman and Winston Churchill. That range is about as diverse as it gets.

Stannis Baratheon

I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Oldman, of sharing a meal and more than a few stories with him. He is as engaging a human being as he is an artist. Which makes this comment so difficult to write. History has seen fit to distort the truth surrounding Mr. Churchill for reasons that are hard to discern. Does the truth obstruct their narrative? Is it because the truth would make for a terrible commercial enterprise? No matter. What saddens me is that I am sure Mr. Oldman did his due diligence, as it relates to the research he conducted to portray Mr, Churchill. What saddens me more deeply, though, is that there is so much bad history out there that even a scrupulous person would be so abjectly misdirected from the truth that is so contrary to the life he portrayed, adding an insane momentum to a runaway train that needs no assistance. Read this piece, as an introduction to what I am suggesting .www.jacobinmag.com/2018/01/winston-churchill-british-empire-colonialism

Can still remember him as Commissioner Jim Gordon....hell...I didn't even know it was him until towards the end of that movie.

I forgot Franco was in attendance "CRINGE"

Why is James Franco there?

I heard Churchill also said/authorized/ordered some fucked up shit as well, even for all his otherwise greatness. I think we should take the whole truth, not just the good parts. You learn better from it, I think. And you can still acknowledge accomplishments even if you also acknowledge the ugly parts of the truth too ;)

he is one actor i would love to direct in any movie as long as i got to tell a story with him and if he doesn't win the oscar for Darkest hour its a fucking travesty

David Irving has a book

Stimmt

A true artist should always be on the side of good, otherwise he/she would be just a puppet.

James Franco doesn’t belong in that group. Outclassed

Churchill would appreciate this.

I hope Gary wins an Oscar. His Churchill is the highest point of masteryю He deserved it. Chalamet is far from this, sorry ....

....ffs ... are people here saying he shouldn't have fought Hirler ????

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - W.Churchill

Sam Rockwell great question

Dont know who won the oscar for best supporting actor the year leon the professional came out but it must have been an incredible performance to have been better than Gary in that film

Gary Oldman, if you read the truth about Churchill you'd soon change your mind. "He's Incomparable" by his utter rottenness.

Oldman is the best Churchill second only to the real one.

Well it is what he did to prepare for war early on and how he rallied the country. He had flaws like we all do, but he was the leader England needed and the world needed to fight a war against tyranny

Why the fuck is Franco here..........

Up

John Lithgow >

great writer , painter , politician and a mass murderer.

I swear to god if timothee Charlemet or anybody steals this Oscar from Gary, I’m going to burn their house down

From a 1916 letter written by Winston Churchill about the ongoing First World War:‘I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it’s smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment, and yet, I can’t help it, I enjoy every second of it’. There's your hero.

3 of these actors belong on this round table. others do not.

Well, I actually enjoyed this. It wasn't political, it was an interesting actor's take on preparing for a huge role. I will subscribe and watch future clips until they go political.

Suggest that people read up on despicable attitude and policies Churchill presided over in dealing with Ireland during early part of 20th century and also how he behaved towards M.K. Gandhi. Admire the actors playing the man but not the man himself.

No disrespect at all but what is John Boyega doing there lol he's not getting any award buzz nor is respected or that accomplished (yet) in Hollywood?

“I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.” (To the Peel Commission 1937)

Biscuit game

These people who give Churchill shit for being unable to help india need to grow up, unfortunately running a country during a war is hard and one must prioritise their country over others. Also if you failed to notice we had rations and were struggling with food, stop being so arrogant and entitled.

Ham actor.

Делаю победы Олдмену и Дэфо
