Gary Oldman couldn’t contain his laughter when Stephen Colbert showed him clips of his most famous movies enhanced with “that Jackson Lamb quality” — uncontrolled flatulence, a reference to Oldman’s slovenly spy on “Slow Horses.”
The clips included Oldman apparently passing gas as he welcomes Keanu Reeves to his castle in “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” as he speaks to Daniel Radcliffe in one of the “Harry Potter” movies and more.
Oldman exclaimed, “That’s really a hoot!” when one cleverly edited scene from “Darkest Hour” shows a supporting actor looking askance at Oldman’s Winston Churchill as he apparently lets one rip. “That’s fantastic!” he said.
After the last clip, which now has his villain from “Air Force One” farting as Harrison Ford punches him and says, “Get off my plane,” Oldman was in tears from laughing so hard.
Watch the fart-filled segment in the embedded Instagram post below:
In one of the other segments from his sitdown with Colbert, Oldman gamely played an impromptu death scene after the late night host “stabbed” him with a stunt knife. He reacts with a shocked, “Stephen!,” and then narrated his acting choices throughout, such as starting to gurgle because his lungs were filling up with blood
He opted to die with eyes open, slumped in his chair. Colbert then added the final touch: Blowing a loud raspberry as Oldman laughed.
He chose his demise in “State of Grace” as his favorite onscreen death. “I fold like a sort of doll,” he says of his character’s collapse after being shot by Ed Harris. “It’s like the strings are cut and I just drop.”
