Sir Gary Oldman outside Windsor Castle on TuesdaySir Gary Oldman paid a visit to Windsor Castle this week to receive his knighthood for services to drama.After the event on Tuesday, he revealed to the press that Prince William, who bestowed him with the title, took the opportunity to poke fun at one of his most famous characters during the ceremony.Talking to reporters, Sir Gary revealed that Prince William had told him he was “a fan” of the Apple TV series Slow Horses, for which the actor has received universal praise thanks to his performance as the scruffy and flatulent spy Jackson Lamb.“He says, ‘every time I see you, I just want to give you a good wash’,” the Oscar winner claimed (as reported by The Sun). “And I said, ‘well, I think I’ve scrubbed up OK today’.”The Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy actor added that he also spoke to Prince William about some of the other films he has appeared in over the years, naming The Fifth Element and The Darkest Hour, which earned him an Oscar following his performance as Winston Churchill.“He said he was very happy that I was here today and that it was him that had the opportunity to present me with [the honour],” Sir Gary shared.Gary Oldman being knighted by Prince William on TuesdaySir Gary later told the press he felt “very honoured, very humbled and flattered, I think in equal measure” about receiving the knighthood.Describing the day as “very emotional,” he revealed it was “hard to find my voice, really” during the ceremony.He also admitted that the honour was like nothing else that had happened in his long career in film and TV.“I thought the Oscar was a big deal. No disrespect to the Academy, but it sort of pales in comparison to this,” he said in an Instagram video posted on the official Prince and Princess of Wales account.“It’s just been wonderful.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)Despite his success, Sir Gary downplayed his award-winning career. “I’ve had diabolical good luck,” he said before claiming that his achievements were all an “accident”, and that he had the “best job in the world”. Slow Horses recently returned for a fifth season and was met with mostly positive reviews from critics, with a sixth and seventh already in the pipeline.READ MORE:We Want To Knight Gary Oldman All Over Again After These Exciting Slow Horses Updates'I Was Broke': Gary Oldman Gets Honest About Starring In 1 Of The Most Hated Films EverGary Oldman Names The Film Of His He's 'Triggered' By When Watching
