One of Hollywoods greatest villains Gary Oldman and his family

The private life of Gary Oldman, one of Hollywood’s greatest villains

Gary Oldman is one out of the few Hollywood actors that have made a name in the industry for their passionate acting style and on-screen diversity. It has been mentioned severally that the old actor overacts on screen but Oldman has still been credited for his awesome delivery when in character.  The multi-award winning actor is ranked one of cinema’s greatest villains.

Date of Birth: March 21, 1958

Zodiac Sign: Aries

Oldman’s role in the romance-horror Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) skyrocketed his name into the depths of fame. He was recognised as one of the best male performances in the year 1992 and he gradually became the goo to man when a villain was needed on set. After many years of being a film hero, Gary went on in the early 2000s to appear in the highly rated TV sitcom Friends’ (1994 – 2004). After this role, it seemed like he had been blacklisted in the industry and he was hardly seen in major roles.

Before the mid-2000s, he got himself back as he became a recurrent face in the Harry Potter series. He is a successful actor but is notoriously known to be private about his personal life.
