I don\u2019t want to be active when I\u2019m 80. I\u2019d be very happy and honored and privileged to go out as Jackson Lamb \u2014 and then hang it up,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Oldman also talked about relating to his \u201cSlow Horses\u201d character struggling with alcoholism. He credited his \u201cScarlet Letter\u201d co-star Demi Moore with helping convince him to go to rehab. She supposedly told him, \u201cyou\u2019re very ill, you have to go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve not made any secret of it. There but for the grace of God go I. I\u2019ve been in recovery, and I\u2019ve made 25 years sober,\u201d the actor said during the interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe the drink is what it is about Lamb. The biggest lie he tells himself is about his drinking \u2026 that cruel mocking way he has \u2014 he knows he\u2019s a drunk but he lies to himself about it,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Oldman\u2019s \u201cSlow Horses\u201d character Jackson Lamb is complicated but intriguing. Previously, he said the chance to develop this type of role influenced his decision to sign on to the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get a sense that he\u2019s maybe just kind of given up,\u201d the actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldderby.com\/video\/gary-oldman-interview-slow-horses\/\">said<\/a> in June. \u201cHe\u2019s just treading water and going through the motions. He gives the impression that he doesn\u2019t care very much, and yet, he probably cares more than most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSome of the slow horses think he\u2019s lazy and he sits on his a** all day in that chair with his feet up on the desk, but the mind is working. And he\u2019s very loyal. He has a great moral compass. He has a disdain for the hypocrisy and self-serving bureaucratic bulls*** that is the MI5 establishment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Gary Oldman is not interested in continuing acting in his later years, even if the roles are available.
