Gary Oldman: Since David Bowie's Death "the World's Gone to Shit"

Acclaimed actor Gary Oldman says it’s no coincidence that the “world’s gone to shit” since his longtime friend, David Bowie , died, in January 2016.

Oldman opened up about his connection with Bowie during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter , where he emphasized the depths of their friendship: “We laughed a lot — a lot. He was very, very, very funny, David,” the Oscar-winning actor revealed. “And we sort of had similar kinds of backgrounds, grew up in similar neighborhoods” (Bowie and Oldman both grew up in South London).

The actor went on to add that Bowie was “inspiring” and “a great innovator and not afraid to try things,” among his many positive attributes. He also cited Bowie’s constant innovation as an inspiration in his own work. Related Video
