Gary Oldman talks reality TV, Chinese food, and his new Knighthood - Table Manners Podcast

Video Description

This week we’re joined by British acting royalty - in every sense of the word - it’s the newly knighted Sir Gary Oldman! Mum & I popped over to the Dorchester in London where Gary treated us to his (and Jackson Lamb’s) very favourite Chinese meal. We heard all about Gary living in Palm Springs, the meals his mum would cook as a child, growing up in New Cross, playing Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK, living in an empty hotel during lockdown, the future of Slow Horses, and we hear an incredibly touching story of his friendship with the late John Hurt. Thank you Gary for such a delightful afternoon, what a treat to eat and chat with such an icon. The new fifth series of Slow Horses is now streaming on Apple TV+.
