While regular television watchers are big fans of the show, it’s always interesting to hear which celebrities are into certain shows and in particular shows we can all share a love in. Actor Gary Oldman, who is doing the rounds promoting his new film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, is one of those famous faces who loves True Detective.
According to an interview that Oldman did with Playboy, the Oscar nominated actor dove into the types of shows he’s been really into lately and mentioned True Detective among those that he can’t seem to get enough of.
"Though he may not be as fond of his work as we are, like us, Oldman loves the stuff being done in television, saying “I’m a huge fan of long-form TV. ‘Mad Men.’ I loved ‘True Detective;’ Matthew McConaughey gets better and better. ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ ‘The Americans,’ ‘House of Cards’ – oh God, I loved it. It makes me want to create a show and sit back and get all that mailbox money.”"
The question now is, does Oldman love the show enough to want to be in it or is he more comfortable watching from the sidelines like the rest of us.
