Gary Oldman is here for the Demi Moore renaissance.
The actor, 66, and “The Substance” actress, 62, starred in the 1995 romance historical drama “The Scarlet Letter” and, 30 years later, he shared that the pair recently reunited.
“I’ve not really been that in touch with her, but I just actually reconnected with her because I’ve seen her recently. She is such a wonderful person, Demi,” Oldman exclusively told The Post at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday. “She really is very special.”
Moore has been sweeping this year’s awards season for her role in “The Substance.” The Hollywood icon has taken home Golden Globe and SAG Awards trophies for best actress for her portrayal of Elisabeth Sparkle in the horror film.
She was also nominated for a BAFTA but lost to “Anora” star Mikey Madison and is in the running for her first Oscar at Sunday’s Academy Awards — a feat that Oldman is thrilled about.
“I couldn’t be happier for her in this moment with this film and this role,” he continued. “I think it’s such a wonderful thing. And she’s loving it and really riding the wave.”
Oldman was also nominated at the 2025 SAG Awards for best actor in a drama series for his role in the Apple TV+ thriller “Slow Horses.”
When asked how “The Dark Knight” vet prepared to properly portray the notorious Jackson Lamb, the boss of a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents, Oldman said it was simple.
“To tap in, I read the books,” he shared at the SAG Awards. “Everything you want to know about the characters, everything you want to know about the world of ‘Slow Horses’ is really there on the page. For those who have only seen the show and are fans of the show, then I would recommend picking up a Mick Herron book.
“The writing is so good; it’s your map of the world. All the signposts are there; you just follow them.”
Oldman is the king of transformation, portraying Count Dracula in 1992’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and Winston Churchill in the 2017 war thriller “Darkest Hour,” and told The Post who he’d love to play next.
“That’s a hard one,” he said. “I’ve played so many. Maybe another president.”
Meanwhile, inside the coveted ceremony, which was streamed on Netflix, Moore nabbed the best actress accolade and shared a moving speech during her acceptance.
“I am so, so grateful that I have continued over these so many years to be able to try, and sometimes succeed, and sometimes fail, but to be able to keep going,” she began.
Moore then told the story of becoming a member of the Screen Actors Guild in 1978 at just 15 years old.
“It changed my life because it gave me meaning, it gave me purpose and it gave me direction,” she recalled. “I was a kid on my own who had no blueprint for life, and I certainly knew nothing about acting. But I watched, and I learned and I listened from all of you. You have all been my greatest teachers.
“And so, as these young actors who are having to do it all, I just encourage you, don’t lose sight of the human connection. That’s the work that we do, it’s to be connected with one another.”
After winning her first Golden Globe in January, in her acceptance speech, she recalled a producer calling her “a popcorn actress” at the beginning of her career — and her daughters, Scout, Tallulah and Rumer Willis, shared their admiration for their mom.
“What a gift to witness you shine and be acknowledged not only for the incredible work you did in this film but in the multitude of staggeringly breathtaking work your entire career,” Rumer, 36, wrote on her Instagram story at the time. “This is just the beginning.”
