AP: Are you being addressed as Sir Gary yet?
Oldman: Now, it’s a little strange. I met some fans … I was told, oh, there are some people outside, and I went out and signed some autographs and things, “Oh, yes, will you sign, like, Sir Gary?” You know, it’s a little strange, yes. I mean – don’t you, you know?
AP: What do you love about playing Jackson Lamb?
Oldman: I love the fact that people think he is closing and yet, in fact, when his eyes are closed and he takes his feet to the desk that the mind is like working. This is what I like about it. And it is fun for people in coming around those insults and sling. He does not have social norms in that way, is he? He does not follow the rules.
I mean, I have played, I did James Gordon, he was over, God, which was more than seven years, so I have played a character and I have returned to a character, but I have not really found a person like a lamb to live continuously, continuously. I have found a real soft place for him. I am really, I am taking a lot with him.
AP: And it is also a physical commitment, right? You were talking about carrying extra weight.
Oldman: Well, you reach a certain age where it is a little difficult to take off. It is easy to keep, it is difficult to remove. And I have screwed up and not much. I can actually do it with hair, in addition to it, otherwise it is – I have, I have lambs. And I have lived with it for the last five years. On going on the show, I have spent thousands of hours in a makeup chair during my career. It should be thousands now. And it was an opportunity to spend hours in a makeup chair. I said, I want my hair, you know, I don’t want wigs, I don’t want makeup.
AP: Season 5 is based on the 2018 book. Mick Heron has a habit to write subjects that are relevant. Was there any special topic in the new season that you were more interested in than others?
Oldman: I mean, of course, more comical side for this is the fact that Ho is a girlfriend. Thinks that he has a girlfriend. But this time, complete instability, this group of terrorists, we are getting the taste of our own poison. Underhand, minor nefarious things that arise these institutions, and they misbehave, we know that they misuse their power, the kind of instability we had implemented the strategy of volatility, it was now being done for us. And I felt that it was an interesting type of turn, that they had returned it.
AP: So, ‘Moscow Rules,’ London Rules’ … What are the Gary Oldman Rules?
Old man: Friend – Raise your friends their character and your socks with their color.
