Gary Oldman explains why it’s never too late to quit alcohol

Gary Oldman says he wouldn’t be an Old Man without sobriety.

OK, that’s the most cringe line I’ve ever written but I couldn’t resist.

Anyway, at a press event this week for the launch of a new season of his current project — Slow Horses on Apple TV+ — Oldman was asked about the benefits of his sobriety.

The actor, who ditched alcohol for good in 1997, told reporters that probably the top benefit is that he’s actually alive.
