Gary Oldman Knighted by Prince William, Calls It Greater Honor Than Oscar
Actor Sir Gary Oldman, known for his role as MI5 agent Jackson Lamb in 'Slow Horses', has been knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle. The 'Slow Horses' star, who has also played a 'Knight' in various roles, received the prestigious honor and expressed his gratitude, finding it more significant than his Oscar win. Interestingly, both Prince William and Queen Camilla are fans of Oldman's work in the spy drama series. Oldman, who plays a 'Horse' in the metaphorical sense as a central figure in 'Slow Horses', revealed that Prince William is a fan of the show and has praised specific roles. The actor felt humbled and honored by his knighthood, considering it a greater achievement than his Academy Award for Best Actor in 2012 for 'Darkest Hour'. In a surprising revelation, Oldman previously shared that Queen Camilla is also a fan of 'Slow Horses'. The fifth season of the Apple TV+ series is currently airing, with Oldman's performance as the gruff but brilliant Lamb receiving critical acclaim. The royal couple's official Instagram account also extended congratulations to Sir Gary Oldman on his knighthood. Sir Gary Oldman, who has now joined the ranks of distinguished British actors who have received the honor, sees his knighthood as a testament to his outstanding career and the appreciation of his work, even by the highest levels of the British monarchy. Fans of 'Slow Horses' can continue to enjoy Sir Gary Oldman's portrayal of Jackson Lamb in the current season.
