Gary Leonard Oldman

Gary Oldman is a British-born Hollywood artist who is praised by the public and critics for his unique acting talent, which allows him to equally accurately embody the images of villains and goodies on the screen.

Gary Oldman (Gary Oldman) was born on March 21, 1958. His mother was a housewife, his father worked as a welder. The family was poor, so Gary and his two sisters did not have toys and other childhood joys. The situation worsened when their father left them, Gary was then 7 years old. At first, the father occasionally visited the children, and soon he completely ceased to be interested in their life: the man was drinking, he was not up to it. Gary later learned that his father had died.

Reality did not comfort the future actor, the only joy was classes in the youth theater, which he attended from the age of 14. The teenager was given different roles, he coped with them perfectly. But, oddly enough, during that period of his life, Oldman did not think about an acting career.

When Gary was 16 years old, he dropped out of school and got a job as a salesman of sports equipment, and in his spare time he studied literature and playing the guitar. The turning point came in 1975. The young man saw the pictures "Crazy Moon" and "If ...", the acting made a strong impression on him. Oldman decided to master the basics himself.

In the same year, the guy decided to enter the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, but did not make an impression on the strict examiners. One of the jury members advised the guy to choose another profession. Oldman did not listen to him. He enrolled at Rose Bruford Theater College and received his BA with honors 4 years later.

In his youth, Oldman spent 9 years on the theater stage. He served at the London Theater, toured Europe and South America, and has repeatedly won prestigious theater awards.

In the personal life of the star, there were many stormy romances that ended with the official registration of marriage. Oldman got married 4 times. In 1987 he married actress Leslie Manville.

In 1990, Oldman and Thurman signed, and after 2 years they parted. During this period, the artist drank a lot, was treated for alcoholism in the clinic. The wife called the star's addiction one of the reasons for their divorce.

Oldman was not alone for long. Isabella Rossellini became his chosen one. The actors did not register the marriage, but they adopted the boy.

After parting with the Italian star, Gary married Don Fiorentino. Dona is a professional photographer. She gave birth to her husband two sons. In total, the actor has four children.
