Hollywood star Gary Oldman has shared why he바카라ll always be grateful for the 바카라Harry Potter바카라 films. The 바카라Slow Horses바카라 star, who is father to sons Alfie, Gulliver, and Charlie and step-son William, explained that he was cast as Harry Potter바카라s godfather Sirius Black after becoming a single father.
Oldman divorced his ex-wife, Donya Fiorentino, in 2001. 바카라At 42 years old, I woke up divorced and I had custody of these boys and so that, in itself, was바카라" he said on 바카라The Drew Barrymore Show바카라, reports Entertainment Weekly.
"That was hard because there was a shift in the industry where a lot of productions were being (filmed in), it was Hungary, Budapest, Prague, Australia, you know, all of these places.바카라
Barrymore then explained to the audience that filming locations had shifted around the globe due to 바카라tax reasons바카라. As a result, Oldman said he 바카라turned down a lot of work바카라 in order to be with his children.
바카라Thank God for Harry Potter,바카라 he told Drew Barrymore.
바카라I tell you, the two 바카라 Batman and Harry Potter 바카라 really they saved me, because it meant that I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.바카라
As per Entertainment Weekly, Oldman, who is 27 years sober, made his debut as Sirius Black in 2004바카라s 바카라Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban바카라. He would go on to reprise the role over the following two instalments before his character바카라s tragic end in 2007바카라s 바카라Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix바카라.
The Oscar-winner also starred as Gotham City Police Department Commissioner Jim Gordon in Christopher Nolan바카라s 바카라The Dark Knight바카라 trilogy, a role for which he flew back and forth from Los Angeles 27 times so that he could be with his children during his off days.
바카라I바카라d fly in for a day, I바카라d do a shoot a day,바카라 he said.
바카라To (Nolan바카라s) credit, he stayed on schedule and I would go home for three days, come back for two, go home for a weekend, come back for one day바카라 otherwise, I just felt they바카라re being brought up by a nanny.바카라
Oldman admitted that he decided to be more hands-on as a parent after being 바카라not there all the time바카라 for his first son, Alfie.
He added: 바카라I got the opportunity to have these other two kids and I thought, 바카라I can바카라t. I바카라ve now been given a real gift to be the dad I imagined I could be with the first boy, Alfie, and so I바카라ve got a chance to repair this and switch it around바카라바카라.
He said that his 바카라biggest accomplishment바카라 as a parent is that his children grew up to become 바카라nice people.바카라
