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.
