Sir Gary Oldman has been awarded a knighthood by King Charles, an experience which left the iconic actor "gobsmacked."

    It’s definitely because of his work in The Fifth Element.

    I mean, the rest of his extensive filmography is nice I guess, but Fifth Element was his Magnum Opus.

    Nobody wears tilted hair like Sir Gary Oldman.

      I do like a lot of his different films. I’ve been enjoying him in Slow Horses.

      Him figuring out the newton’s cradle in Rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead puts him in high high standing.

        It’s crazy to me that those are back-to-back Luc Besson films, both starring Gary Oldman. Oldman’s performances are so different, I didn’t even recognize them as the same actor until I saw the credits.

    That’s pleasant news! One of the finest actors today, and of all time.

    Years from now, as you lay on your death bed saying goodbye to your family, you hear a marker snap and someone shouts “CUT! That’s a wrap, everyone!” Suddenly your memory is filled with a truth you had long forgotten as you come to the sudden realization that you have been Gary Oldman this entire time.

        The joke is that his name is Gary Oldman, and he received a title. I’m implying that if his name were Gary Youngman, he wouldn’t have. Also, the princess bride is a gem, and I applaud your taste in memes.
