Describing his look toDeadlinebefore the ceremony, Oldman said, “It’s a French braid!”
Oldman previously toldDeadlinein May 2022 that after the spy thriller series concludes,the end of his acting career may come sooner rather than later.
Theactor, who plays Jackson Lamb in the show, told the outlet he “could see myself playing Jackson for the next how many years.”

The star won an Oscar for his chameleon-like transformation — which took 200 hours of makeup work, perDeadline— into Winston Churchill forDarkest Hour, and more recently, looked unrecognizable as Harry S. Truman in Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimer.

Though it did not require an intense transformation, one of his most iconic roles was theHarry Potterfranchise’s Sirius Black, whichhe reflected on in December.
On Josh Horowitz’sHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, Oldman called his portrayal of the beloved character — whose iconic hair is about as long as his own is now — “mediocre.” He said, “Maybe if I had read the books like [Alan Rickman], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what’s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently.”
