Gary Oldman Reveals Why He Had To Apologise To Demi Moore On The Set Of The Scarlet Letter

Gary Oldman in Cannes last yearGary Oldman has admitted that he had to apologise to Demi Moore while they were working together on the film The Scarlet Letter.The pair were co-stars in the 1995 movie adaptation of the classic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and while Gary has now been sober for around 28 years, he said that was still drinking and in “a very dark place” at the time of that shoot.During a new interview with the Radio Times, the Oscar winner recalled that he was indulging in “intermittent bouts of boozing during filming” of The Scarlet Letter, resulting in his behaviour becoming “destructive”.He said that after one afternoon of drinking over lunch, he “got back on the set to do quite a big scene”, and while he “got through it”, viewers “wouldn’t really know but I was quite tipsy”.The Slow Horses star explained: “The next day, I said to [Demi], ‘I’m so sorry, you must hate me.’ I was mortified that I’d been so unprofessional. “And she said to me, ‘I don’t hate you. It’s OK. I’m just disappointed’.”Gary Oldman and Demi Moore in 1995's The Scarlet LetterIn the past, Demi has been open about her own issues with alcohol abuse, first going to rehab in the late 1980s around the time she began filming St. Elmo’s Fire, after which she remained sober for decades.After a relapse in the 2010s, as described in her 2019 memoir Inside Out, Demi has refrained from drinking ever since.Read Gary Oldman’s full interview in the new issue of Radio Times, on sale now.Help and support:If you need help with a drinking problem, call the Alcoholics Anonymous national helpline for free on 0800 9177 650 or email [email protected] advice on how to reduce drinking, visit Drinkaware’s website or Alcohol Change UK.Find alcohol addiction services near you using this NHS tool.READ MORE:Demi Moore Shares Her Honest Reaction To Losing The Oscar To Mikey MadisonGary Oldman Makes Very Honest Admission About His 'Mediocre' Performance In Harry PotterDemi Moore Refuses To Watch Any Of Her Old Films – With This 1 Notable Exception
