Gary Oldman Does Spot-On Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken Impressions

[melvyns]

His face literally morphed into De Niro 🤣

[mikemendola]

Gary Oldman is EASILY one of the finest actors that Hollywood has ever and will ever see in all of human history.

[normative]

The way his face morphs into DeNiro even before he says a word is absolutely uncanny. It’s like a mutant power.

Man, having Gary Oldman as your father and your personal alarm clock?

Some people drew a full house from birth.

[professionalmemeenthusiast]

The facial expression he does for De Niro is the true genius of the impression. I bet I would have recognised it without even knowing who the impression was of at the time.

[vincknade]

After the revenant everyone was so satisfied that Leo finally won an oscar, but I'm still waiting for Gary Oldman to win one. Long overdue.

[SpicyTurkey]

I freaking love Gary Oldman. Hands down, one of the best in acting history. He just leaves you speechless.

[ferkara]

The best Dracula and one of the best actors of last 100 years!

[MrAlumni]

When he began his Deniro impression his entire face just changed - it was amazing!

[richardmbowman]

Oldman is a giant.   One of the best actors of his generation.

[aishere]

Oldman disappears into every role that he lays his hands into, that its so jarring to see his humble, calm personality on shows like this. He's unique in being able to embody larger than life characters like Sid Vicious and most recently, Winston Churchill as seamlessly as painfully subtle and underplayed characters like George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Shelly Runyon from The Contender and Commissioner Gordon from the Dark Knight. One of the greatest, most underappreciated actors ever and I hope he wins an Oscar on his second try.

-so gary i've heard you do impressions who do you do
-everyone
-everyone?

[brianryu]

My God not only does he sound like De Niro but he physically turns into him too

[swordsman]

Gary is a great actor in every movie.
I can still remember his character in Leon many many years ago!

[ArmycAvnd]

Years ago i was stuck in traffic down in LA and my passenger looks to the vehicle to my left and starts yelling "omg, omg, I love your acting, you are great"!
So I looked over and it was him. He thanked him and chit chatted with us the whole time we were stuck there. Really nice and cool as hell.

[LittleB]

After being Gary's fan for decades it still seems unbelievable that this quiet British gentleman transforms into all those insane roles... A great actor.

[rondy]

He seems so down to earth, talented yet humble!

[ARedactedHistory]

How cool it would be to have Gary Oldman in person doing Walken as your alarm machine.

[MrStensnask]

How has this man never won an Oscar? In my mind he's completely on par with Daniel Day-Lewis.

Gary Oldman. Best actor alive, and possibly ever. The art of totally and utterly transforming into a character, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally is imho the purest, and most difficult art of acting. I've watched movies and not until the end credits I realized he was part of it. That's magic. Love from Sweden <3
