Did you know that Gary Oldman is younger than Gary Numan?
Yes
Wow she’s tiny compared to him
yup, it was the eyes that gave it away for me initially.
She was in Nil by mouth directed Gary oldman. Don’t think they acted together
I did, but genuine thank you for the reminder. It’s such a fun fact.
Poor Gary, he’ll never play a character as iconic as Mo Slater 😔
Fuck right off. 😳
Frank Skinner, on his radio show, had a segment called “Big Mo-ments” where you’d submit things you didn’t know that everyone else did. Named for exactly this.
WHY IS HIS HEAD SO BIG
Yeah? TIL.
NO FUCKING WAY O_O
Garry Oldman is one of the coolest guys to ever live. Could you actually imagine being his sibling. So cool.
Pink’s looking a bit rough.
Wow! Never knew that.
No, no idea. I’ve vaguely heard of Mo as a character, but never watched more than a couple of minutes of Eastenders so didn’t know she was related to one of the great actors. He is wonderfully repulsive in Slow Horses
Did you know that if you Google image Gary Oldman, you shouldn’t forget the “R”
Which means that Mo has – at various points – had as a sister-in-law, Uma Thurman and Isabella Rossellini!
Is that right?
I’ll tell you who knew:

She took her name Laila Morse from an anagram of “mia sorella” suggested by Isabella Rossellini, Gary Oldman’s then partner.
Not many people know that Sacha Baron-Cohen is actually the cousin of Simon Baron-Cohen, who is one of the most influential theorists ever in regards to autism and is currently a professor at the University Of Cambridge.
Well smack my ass, and called me Charlie!
No way hozay!
Yes
I still refuse to accept Tim Vine and Jeremy Vine are brothers
Her stage name “Laila Morse” is an anagram of “Mia Sorella”. This is Italian for My Sister, and was Maureen’s nickname from Isabella Rossellini, Gary’s ex-fiance.
Maureen is her real name as well as her character’s name!
Yes
Yup
Yes, and she stars as the mother of junkie Charlie Creed-Miles in the gritty 1997 film “Nil by mouth” the only full length film Oldman has directed, and has a 10 second cameo in.
It’s decent, but horrible. Ray Winston is particularly good as a wife beating (Kathy Burke) alcoholic.
That’s actually crazy, I would never have guessed.
Yeah, she lives on my street! Still not seen Gary rock up
Wrong. Gary Oldman is both. And you.
Yes I saw this fact once on an episode of pointless
I did. And yet every time I’m reminded it comes as a total surprise all over again.
Yes, did you know that Michelle from Two Doors Down is James McAvoy sister?
I hear this fact, I get surprised by this fact, I forget this fact
This happens every 5 years
Laila Morse – her stage name was suggested by Isabella Rossellini, it’s an anagram of ‘mia sorella’ which is ‘my sister’ in Italian.
This just blew my fucking mind hahahaha
I did not know that. Why thank you for sharing!
wait a second, Sergeant Reznov is in East Enders??
I did! Only found out a few years ago.
Eh you mean BIG Mo. Give her the respect she deserves.
Yes
Yes, for years we knew!
Yes.
CHARLIEEEE
Yep, one of my old mates used to bang on all the time about how Gary Oldman was his cousin when it was actually once or twice removed.
