Oldman politics

Again, Oldman is very private. Probably, as a result, quite a bit of rumor surrounds Oldman’s political leanings–and all of it seems to say he’s a conservative Republican. Perhaps his views are in-line with conservative Republican ideology, but he can’t be a Republican. He’s British. He said:

I’m still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent – you get contaminated after so long.

There’s a pretty good reason people think Oldman leans to the right. After the final cut of his film, The Contender, was released, Oldman objected because he felt it was edited to favor some sort of Democrat, liberal agenda. And his manager, Douglas Urbanski, called the final cut a “Goebbels-like piece of propaganda.”

But that’s about it. Oldman hasn’t come out to endorse any candidate or lent his opinion on any particular issues.
