Gary Oldman: how I recreated Churchill鈥檚 voice
"In the end it becomes a creation, rather than an impersonation." The Oscar-tipped actor discusses how he captured the war-time Prime Minister's distinctive delivery and why he thinks Churchill would have delivered his speeches differently from the way they sound in the 麻豆社 recordings.
Oldman stars as Winston Churchill in the film Darkest Hour, about Churchill鈥檚 first few weeks as Prime Minister in May 1940.
This is an extract from Front Row鈥檚 Gary Oldman special, which broadcasts on 麻豆社 Radio 4 on Boxing Day 2017 at 7.15pm.
