  1. Sir Gary Oldman: The Oscar, The Knighthood & The Problem With Manchester United

    OCT 1

    Sir Gary Oldman: The Oscar, The Knighthood & The Problem With Manchester United

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids sit down with Sir Gary Oldman – one of Britain’s greatest actors, an Oscar and BAFTA winner, and the man behind unforgettable roles in Dracula, Harry Potter, The Darkest Hour, and Slow Horses. A lifelong Manchester United fan, Oldman opens up about his first experiences watching football in the 1960s, his friendship with Sir Alex Ferguson, and why he misses the old-school loyalty of players who stayed at clubs for decades. He also dives deep into the craft of acting – from the grueling physical toll of roles like Churchill, to getting nicotine poisoning while filming, to his pride in movies like JFK. Along the way, Gary shares stories about recent knighthood, Oscar night nerves, fart gags on Slow Horses, and his admiration for George Best. This one’s a proper crossover of football and film. 00:00:00 – Intro: Pete, Chris & Sids kick things off 00:01:12 – Sitting with Turkish fans & reminiscing at Anfield 00:03:29 – Debate over Ryder Cup crowds & respect in golf 00:05:03 – Golfers celebrating like Sunday league lads with beers 00:08:32 – Football tactics going “full circle”: long throws & direct play 00:10:23 – Newcastle heartbreak & Premier League predictions league 00:12:04 – Sunderland shoutout 00:13:09 – Gareth Southgate rumours & whether he’d suit Man United 00:18:11 – Big preview: Chelsea vs Liverpool 00:22:13 – Bournemouth vs Fulham preview & stadium expansion chat 00:32:24 – Score predictions: United vs Sunderland 00:32:45 – Introduction of special guest: Sir Gary Oldman 00:33:43 – The infamous farting scene in Slow Horses explained 00:39:01 – Oldman on The Firm & 1980s hooliganism 00:40:51 – Where Gary was when he found out about his knighthood 00:42:17 – Gary’s most proud film role 00:43:17 – Playing Churchill & winning the Oscar 00:53:02 – Gary’s football roots & becoming a Man United fan 00:55:22 – Nostalgia: Best, Charlton, Giggs, and loyalty in football 00:59:29 – The loss of “first eleven” continuity 01:02:01 – Sir Alex nearly cameoing in Slow Horses 01:03:30 – Critiquing Rooney & Giggs’ acting in adverts 01:05:01 – Which Oldman character could rescue Man United’s dressing room 01:07:46 – What’s next for Gary: more Slow Horses   Chumbawamba  Follow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA  For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
