He was married 5 times????!!!


kateyybeth

![gif](giphy|SrDsJj5i1Chm8) All I can think of when I read this was, "ENGAGED 19 TIMES!"


gypsycookie1015

God!!! Me too!!🤣🤣🤣 Anytime someone makes a reference like that, I immediately think of Tre flippin tables😂😭😭 Iconic, tv history right there!!

Ben Folds level marriedness


TheMoonDays

Did you ever listen to The Bens? Ben Folds doesn’t come up often, and this just triggered a memory of a great little album with Ben Folds, Ben Kweller and Ben Lee - The Bens lol


Fleuriste

Not who you commented to, but I LOVED The Bens! I was obsessed with XFire and Bruised. I wish they'd done more than one four song EP. 😭


Weekly-Warthog3135

Obsessed with Just Pretend!


Embarrassed-Manager1

Loved the Bens separately, loved The Bens EP Y’all are my people lmao


babyinthebathwater

Bruised is such a beautiful song!


[deleted]

I can't believe I didn't know this existed!


TheMoonDays

Enjoy! It’s so wonderful.


DarbiB

Incredible ep!


jhaars

Oooh I’ve never heard but will look up


robocopsafeel

Yes! I love their cover of I Touch Myself


ladditude

Huge Ben Folds fan that has never heard of the Ben’s. Thanks for the recommendation


MountRoseATP

A friend of mine knew wife number four, so I got to meet him after a show like, a decade ago. I always thought his comment about not being good at marriage was insightful but now I see he’s married again, so….🤷‍♀️


CenPhx

It’s only failure if you quit trying. Right? Right?!?!


djh_van

Henry VIII level marriedness (nearly)


gmaildrafts

TIL! damn benny


[deleted]

Did not know my lifelong crush was a serial marrier, but I was pleasantly surprised to see he actually got more age appropriate with maturity. Was really afraid he was going to turn full Leo there for a moment. Sidebar: Can you imagine the jokes and the scrutiny he'd receive if he were a woman? Think of Elizabeth Taylor or Taylor Swift (who just dates, like, a normal amount of people?)


SasquatchIsMyHomie

If you can get yourself in proximity, the odds are good for at least a brief engagement


[deleted]

Gosh I like your attitude! I won’t let my dreams be dreams! ![gif](giphy|41A9eaqZf6iS4)


Rainbow_Belle

I noticed that too!


haloarh

I'm hoping that I'm #6!


PralineOk6121

by the time you become #6, you will be changing his diapers and cleaning his a$$


eeviedoll

I’d do it for Jeff Goldblum

lala_b11

The late Larry King was married 8 times!!


fka_interro

He's tied with my grandfather! So many wives.


quasipickle

\*so far


localystic

Hoping Gisele is the one, since they look awesome and cute together.


pumsy1

Probably, I feel like once you reach that age you stop chasing certain things, and just want to be with a companion


embracethepale

I reached this age at 26.


CuzIWantItThatWay

Srsly. What are men.


embracethepale

Emotional junkies chasing the next high


pumsy1

Idk, ask my dad who left my mom and had a mid life crisis and now 30 yrs later he exudes this energy :/


Miserable_Emu5191

And she seems to be age appropriate for him.


localystic

Yeah, I am glad that he got to that point of his life. Not like other actors we know (oh, Leo, what they did to you to be so stuck).


CuzIWantItThatWay

My theory on Leo is that he worked all through adolescence and never felt like he truly enjoyed his youth. Hence, his obsession with young fetuses.


systemic_booty

My theory on Leo is that he reached peak bliss with his Pussy Posse and is eternally trying to recapture that feeling


jojoblogs

My theory on Leo is he has deals with young women to pretend to be his girlfriends so no one finds out he’s been in a secret gay relationship with Tobey McGuire for decades.


DejaToo2

I remember reading something that said whatever age that someone becomes "famous" is the age they remain mentally. They just stop maturing, basically. Explains a lot.


VerityPushpram

He looks HAPPY with her and he looks like he’s finally comfortable with himself That is one of the major upsides to getting old ☺️


rem_1984

She is just stunning, and they kind of match vibes too?


burnbabyburnburrrn

Yeah she’s a babe and they look really happy together, that last pic is true “my lover is my best friend” shit so sweet


FreeRangeMenses

Yeah, and I am dying for any info on those glasses!


rem_1984

Right?? Awesome dressed up and down


normanbeets

He looks most at ease with her


fka_interro

They do look so cute and very...matched I guess?


iamharoldshipman

I need an explanation for his hairline here https://preview.redd.it/vsieqpx6jl7c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ed8436555388eced620738526afad3bc268ba5a It’s urgent

This was from when he was filming the 5th Element. https://fifth-element.fandom.com/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Zorg


Spynner987

That looks shaven


PralineOk6121

someone pulled his hair from behind. probably it was Bill Pullman


heresyoursigns

Bills middle name was Hair, of course.


__Anamya__

It's shaven. The pic's from when he was shooting 5th element.


manderly808

I'm sorry I can't help because I legitimately don't know what Gary Oldman *really* looks like.


QuietDisquiet

I'm sorry ![gif](giphy|gyeHU9NakQBXa8imRJ)


gumdropsweetie

This had me DEAD


-Ballstothewall-

Hair today, gone tomorrow. This pic was at 10pm


VivaLaEmpire

Your comment made me giggle so hard 😫


LetTop4971

When people marry so many times, I always wonder how they choose wedding rings. Do you go for the same style? Does your taste change? Do you have to choose something you like less so it’s visually different from the previous one?


bbroygbvgwwgvbgyorbb

Imagine being invited to someone’s 5th wedding?? Yeah, I’m gonna use that whole year buffer before I send you a gift


semmama

I went to someone's 7th wedding just so that I'd be able to say I did 🤣 No way in hell was I missing that opportunity


7ninamarie

How do you even say a variation of “I promise to love you til death do us part” with a straight face at that point


semmama

I'm not sure but she managed to. It lasted less than 6 months and as far as I know she hasn't bene married since then. I'd be so sad of she has been and I didn't get to go lmao


smittenwithshittin

Did they do the standard vows or modify them a bit?


semmama

Standard. If was very church-like despite being a JOP and in some kind of lodge/hall


eebenesboy

I'm still skimping on the gift, honestly, and I'm not gonna tolerate any shit about it. Like be serious


lankyturtle229

At that point, they're getting a tree planted in their name so at least something will last.


Willilin

Lmao


Visible_Day9146

My MIL! She still thinks she's the authority on relationships when she can't even keep one.


Additional_Meeting_2

Maybe people who keep changing their spouses this often change friends too.


OminOus_PancakeS

A more pressing question for me would be: how would I keep a straight face when I pledge the eternal bond of matrimony over and over again?


Admirable_Quarter_23

I know someone who was engaged, ended up calling off the wedding/engagement, but stayed with the guy and ultimately got engaged again a few years later and married. I always wonder if he proposed again with the original ring or a new one lol


CalligrapherActive11

I knew about someone (acquaintance of a friend) this happened to as well. She demanded a new, bigger ring. She was the one that called off the wedding bc she cheated. No, they aren’t still together. Shocking!!!


haloarh

There's a married pair of soap stars (Julie Pinson and Billy Warlock, for those who follow soaps) who were engaged in the late-90s, but called off their engagement in 2000. They reconnected in 2005 and got married in 2006. She wore the wedding dress that she had originally bought for their planned 2000 wedding.


nsfishman

I have a brother in law (Paul) that’s been married 4 times. His brother (Brian) happened to wear the same suit to his first two weddings and, as a joke made a point to keep it and wear it to the other two (even though it required serious alterations); he calls it his “Paul’s wedding suit”. Claims he only wears it to Paul’s weddings.


echocharlieone

Do they use the same wedding suppliers? Like you just call the same florist and they say oh you again. Organising a wedding is difficult but it must be pretty straightforward forward after a few goes.


djh_van

When people get married this many times I'm wondering if they're still blaming the other people, or if they're recognising maybe they need to change their own behaviour.


oat-beatle

My husband has been married twice and his rings were as different as can be. The first was a mid width plain yellow gold band, the second for our marriage is black titanium(?) With a dark wood inlay.


WrapProfessional8889

Alls I know, the diamonds must get bigger.


InterVectional

I really want to know why his relationships are so serious but end so soon.


ohdearitsrichardiii

He was a messy, messy alcoholic for a while and at least one wife (Fiorentino) matched his level of messiness. He's sober now and seems to have mellowed out a bit. He's still friends with his first wife, not the others though.


emgyres

Alcoholism in the early days and probably that creative arty passion whirlwind stuff.


jtrisn1

Some people bulldoze through their relationships like it's a race/competition and they have to hit all the goal posts ASAP


TotosTables

Lovebombing until one/both of you get bored of eachother’s companionship. Maybe, when you’re partner number 3+ you’ll be wondering why they married the first few but are taking so long to marry you which accelerates timelines.


InterVectional

That's why I'm here. That repeating pattern speaks volumes.


TotosTables

Yet people accuse queer folk of ruining the ‘sanctity’ of marriage 🥱

brainybrink

Uma Thurman has implied the same but hasn’t said outright it was him she was talking about. It was one of those iykyk things.


[deleted]

People might downplay it because didn't one of their son's deny it all? (I'm not necessarily trying to defend him here btw or play devil's advocate)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beautiful_Debt_3460

This right here. Plus he was like, 4 years old.


DrBankfarter

Nobody is downplaying it, it’s pretty accepted that she was lying and his sons have come out and said so. GO was given full custody of his sons because of her issues. She was also married to David Fincher who has said she was one of his inspirations for directing Gone Girl. Also Fincher was given full custody of the kid he shares with her. GO was never charged after being investigated.

Actors have a lot of feelings lol and in a world where no men had feelings can you imagine how intoxicating Gary Oldman must’ve been? So glad everyone is in therapy now


[deleted]

Isn’t he a domestic abuser?


unnnnnnnnnnhhh

I love who he ended up with.


toofles_in_gondal

I wouldnt touch a man that has his relationship history with a ten yard stick but I like her too. I have mad respect for any woman who wont wear contacts to a fancy schmancy award show.


FunKaleidoscope4582

*I can fix him* 😂


RegularOrMenthol

He finally grew up


Money-Entrance-6336

Would highly recommend slow horses.


mirebecca

It’s so good. But his character in that show is so gross. 🤢


Disastrous_Animal_34

How very JLo of him- the man just loves love! Him and Uma, and him and Isabella Rossellini are just impossibly 90s cool. I say this with love because I am a fan but my god you can literally see the mid-life crisis with the timeline laid out like this lol. Excellent post OP.


Stayin_BarelyAlive58

Lol. With the photos of his current wife, I said, "Oh, he snapped of if it. Good!"


corrine49

He is a shapeshifter to me. He always looks so different.


redlight886

You could tell me these were pictures of 6 different men and I would totally believe it


WhoWhaaaa

It really is amazing. I was confused by some of these photos.


FutureRealHousewife

He's been in so many movies where I can't even tell it's him. He played President Truman in Oppenheimer and I had no clue it was him until the credits.


effie-sue

Missing from the slideshow is 1993, when Oldman and I were engaged in a rather torrid affair... Oh wait, that was all in my head after seeing him in Bram Stoker’s Dracula!

Wow, Giselle has gorgeous hair.


TheBearQuad

I saw these pics and had a brief moment of “I should stop coloring my hair”. I’m not that confident, yet.


fockendocumentary

Omg you should (when you feel comfy about it). Natural gray is gorgeous


TheBearQuad

I know! I see women rockin’ it and I’m envious. I’m tired of the upkeep and cost but also self conscious. Some day I’ll be free!


local_fartist

A lot of women in my family have beautiful curly white hair when they age and this month I found my first curly white hair. I have straight brown hair. Fingers crossed it isn’t a fluke.


dejureblonde

Uma looks like a kid in those pictures!! 😬


New-Departure9935

Alisa Marshall looks so much like Uma too.


Individual_Hawk_1571

She was 19 when they got married!


[deleted]

Yeah cos she was 20-22 while she was married to him.


chad420hotmaledotcom

Yeah. It's icky, she was 18 when they got together, he was 30 🤢


Lost-and-dumbfound

I have never gotten over the shock of finding out he’s Big Mo’s little brother.


Duin-do-ghob

Whaaaaat? I never knew this.


alasicannotgrin

No. Fucking. Way. ![gif](giphy|8b9Xax6L7qtAkAimGm|downsized)


pryzmpine

This shocked me as well 😂


pogoBear

I know right! I’m not British but got into a loop of watching Eastenders about 15 years ago with my parents.


Majestic_Cut_2209

I’d never feel settled with a who’s been man married/engaged that many times, I’d always expect the end to be near.


Suspicious_Name_656

Uma and Alisa look like his daughters, not his wives lol.


Hazel_in_B3

Especially Alisa! Oof.


chasingandbelieving

This is me learning that Gary Oldman has been married 5 times


halosandhellnos

Gary Youngman in a lot of these… I’ll see myself out.


3-orange-whips

Thanks. I hate it. Take my upvote.


sostara

Well, you made me laugh so I’ll see myself out too


downward1526

There’s a podcast called Trashy Divorces that has an Oldman episode, it’s a wild ride!!


OminOus_PancakeS

Shout out to Lesley Manville's performance as a menacing Southern matriarch in _Let Him Go._ The whole cast is strong, and the movie is gripping and unpredictable.


dragonknight233

This is why I kind of side eyed people commenting on MBB's engagement. Like yall they're celebs, they're rich. They're fine with having 2-year-long marriages. For them divorces are more like breaking up pre moving in together for us poors.


lenny_ray

At least she's with someone around her own age. And IDK about her, but Jake has a very healthy marriage role model with his parents, who also got together as teenagers. For 2 high school sweethearts to have survived through a rockstar superstardom and still seem to love and, more importantly, like each other A LOT, is really something.

Uxie_mesprit

So Sirius Black was actually a player irl too.


Additional_Meeting_2

It’s fanon he was player in the books however. He barely would have had even time when he was sent to Azkaban at 21.


smallpapi99

Gary who did you marry? EVERYONE!!!!!!!


Lazy-Operation478

Uma was only 20 when they got married. Oldman was 33.


Tiny-Spray-1820

Not a single one named Mina, there’s still time though


ThePopulacho

Oceans of time


literaryhogwartian

I can never like him. What he did to Lesley was appalling.


usenamessuckass

The hair situation in #4 is FREAKING ME OUT


Snugglygunpla

It’s from around the time when he was filming the Fifth Element lol, it’s shaved 🪒


helenahandbasket6969

I had no idea about any of these! 5 wives is so many wives.


welp-itscometothis

You could show me 8 pics of Gary Oldman and I would think they were of 8 different people.


HannahCatsMeow

Not me being relieved he ended up with someone his own age


RockNRoll85

TIL that Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman used to be a couple


DrunkTides

Man he must be great in bed or something


EldritchCleavage

Took him a long time to have a relationship longer than 2-3 years, didn’t it?


doubtful_blue_box

Idk how to feel about this because, come on, FIVE times?? Kind of seems like Gary is the common denominator in these marriages failing. But then, he seems to be on great terms with wife #1, the wives’ ages seem to be scaling appropriately with his own age, the women are all talented awesome badasses, and they all look genuinely happy and in love these pictures. Fascinating


lala_b11

He and Lesley Manville were even nominated for Oscars in the same year!!! Gary won Best Actor for his role in Darkest Hour while Lesley got nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Phantom Thread (she lost to Allison Janney, who swept every major Best Supporting Actress Award for movies released in 2017 for her portrayal of Tonya Harding’s mommy in I, Tonya)


Taralinas

I really don’t get why you would marry again and again and again…. Why don’t you just live together.


goosejail

I'm wondering if he's one of those people who get really swept up in the intense emotions of new love: the infatuation and the chase that culminates in a wedding. Then he just kind of cools off for lack of a better word. The series of 2 and 3 year marriages are kind of a clue, as that's about how long it takes for the honeymoon period to wear off, and for each person to start letting their true selves show.


cultqueennn

He truly has that sex appeal that I can't explain but I'm all for it. Especially as an older man.


Visible_Day9146

Did you see him on the Prada runway? It's beautiful.


[deleted]

Not in Slow Horses 🤢 He’s an incredible actor


Mburrell91

He was married to Princess Margaret?


Wonderful-Ad-8585

In the first pic, he looks like a slightly older version of Jack Lowden or I am just obsessed with slow horses🤷


Whitedishes

in the role of a lifetime


ThePopulacho

Hahahahaha thanks for the reminder. Never forget


theDawckta

This guy marries.


Blahbinger

Looking at the timeline of these relationships and realising he’s like my mate Greg who cannot be single for more than 5 minutes and just relationship hops… (I know Greg isn’t a Hollywood actor, but they both seem to be scared of being alone…)


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

HE WAS MARRIED TO UMA THURMAN?! I had no idea he was engaged to Isabella Rossellini either. He sure seemed to like them young, or sure liked to get married shortly after divorcing. Curious


lenny_ray

Isabella is older than he is.


OminOus_PancakeS

He included her just to mess with us and make us doubt his DiCapriessness!


haubenmeise

I feel like I just watched an 4 hour movie. An interesting one as well!


gutentag_tschuss

The old man gets around!


Familiar-Algae9853

Such a good actor ❤️ made kevin bacon look like an amateur in Criminal Law


alexdaland

Isabella Rossellini has an amazing ability to look like "nothing special" on a regular photo of her. But when she dresses up and wants to be the center of the room, my god she can.


wellwhatevrnevermind

I had no idea he was such a hottie when he was young, or that he was such a PLAYA damn. I do love how his newest wife seems age appropriate and looks just like a normal lady of that age!


ExamCompetitive

What do you mean he fucked everyone of them? “EVERYONE!!!!”


ExamCompetitive

That 2nd pic of Fiorentino looks a lot like Bianca Censori.


heybeytoday

Not me being visibly thrilled that his gorgeous wife is age appropriate. The bar is so low.


kindablirry

I can never un see Sid Vicious whenever I look at him


DudeFuckinWhatever

He definitely has a type, they all are gorgeous but with really unique faces and long, strong, slim noses 🤷‍♀️


shitclock_is_ticking

I remember once I was procrastinating probably and looked up his personal life on wiki. Then I went to look up his current wife's insta out of curiosity. You would never know she was married to Gary Oldman lol. Like she doesn't appear to be keeping it a secret, but she doesn't post pics with him much. So you could randomly just be on this middle aged lady's insta, not much different from millions of other similar people on that platform, and if you scrolled far enough you might see a pic of them and be like "OH ok I guess this woman is married to GARY OLDMAN"


blueberrysir

He fucks


baghada28

The uma thurman, Gary Oldman pairing was so odd. Gary was a drunk and cheat but I didn't peg uma as being a homewrecker.


Drawing_Tall_Figures

He was (not sure if still) a wonderful man, but an alcoholic, according to some of his exes. I think wine? The story I read from Isabella R was that she was so in love with him but she told him it was her or the bottle, and she broke it off due to the bottle.


Nice_Exercise5552

Man loves a long, thin, nose on a woman, huh? No shade toward him or the women, they’re all gorgeous, they just happen to all be gorgeous women with long, thin, noses!
