You can go around insulting people all you like, swearing and cussing, calling people out, insulting whole groups of people. Go for it.

But don't be surprised if the people you just insulted use *their" freedom of speech to give you *their* opinion.

Freedom of speech is a two way process.

racist, homophobic and sexist and DEMAND that no one challenge, as they claim freedom of speech. totally bonkers.

Wow. I used to really like him--thought he was a fantastic actor.

Turns out he's just a giant shithead.

now, instead of thinking him a fantastic actor, he's just a fantastic ass-hat.

He also has the need to work all the time (a lot of British actors have this) which has him doing projects maybe he shouldn't. But I don't know that being a nice or a good person is tied to acting talent - lots of talented actors have also been despicable human beings, and lots of very nice people are terrible actors.

disappointing.

no not everyone is like you, Oldman, and ".. privately uses them".

If not why would he care about American politicians?

"Everybody uses these slurs in private, why can't we say them in public?"

For the same reason you can't shit in the center of food court at the local mall, you damned fool!

along those lines.

PASS.

Heath describes a call Oldman received from Dustin Hoffman after The Contender came out where Hoffman told him:

“I was at a card game the other night, and there was this big Hollywood exec’ “—Hoffman named him to Oldman, though Oldman does not do so to me—” ‘and he was saying that Gary Oldman is extreme right wing, and he’s a fascist.’ ” Hoffman told Oldman that his response was “Gary Oldman’s a fascist and extreme right? I can’t imagine that that is true,” but nonetheless, the conversation had clearly prompted this phone call. [Hoffman, contacted in 2012, recalled telephoning Oldman and commending his performance in The Contender, but stated that he did not remember the rest of this conversation.] “And he said,” Oldman continues, ” ‘Just be careful, because I said some stuff years ago…I said it to someone who was very powerful who made sure that I didn’t work for a long, long time.’ He was being quite cryptic. And then he reminded me that there was a gap—I think it was a gap between Tootsie and the next thing he did. He said, ‘Just a word to the wise, you’ve got to be very careful; there’s this thing out there that you’re this… I don’t know what you’ve been saying, but you’ve got to be very careful.’ All very strange.”http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/03/01/434830/gary-oldman-dustin-hoffman-and-the-mystery-of-hollywood-bias-against-conservatives/
