In fact, the 56-year-old _Dawn of the_ _Planet of the Apes_ star thinks “political correctness is crap…take a f—ing joke. Get over it.” And, in case you were nervous, Oldman went on to prove his point. The tangent — which Oldman said he hoped the reporter would “edit and cut… because it’s going to make me sound like a bigot” — began when Mel Gibson came up. When reporter David Hochman asked Oldman what he thought about what Gibson has undergone in recent years, Oldman responded: --- > “” --- Oldman thought that there was a double standard because Gibson “got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all f—ng hypocrites… The policeman who arrested him has never used the word n—-r or that f—ing Jew?” Oldman went on to defend Alec Baldwin for calling someone a gay slur and accused Hollywood of rendering anyone who didn’t vote for _12 Years a Slave_ at the Oscars a racist. And as long as he was on a roll — hitting race, religion, and sexuality — Oldman figured why stop there and went for the gender ticket – saying he could “never” get away with calling Nancy Pelosi an expletive based on the female anatomy. “I can’t really say that,” the libertarian-leaning actor said, though he just had — twice. The interview was timed to help promote [_Dawn of the Planet of the Apes_](http://time.com/2900445/dawn-planet-apes-trailer/), out July 11, in which Oldman plays a villain. \[[Playboy](http://www.playboy.com/playground/view/gary-oldman-playboy-interview)_\]_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2917097/gary-oldman-political-correctness-playboy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2917097/gary-oldman-political-correctness-playboy/"},"headline":"Gary Oldman Really Doesn't Like Political Correctness","datePublished":"2014-06-24T12:43:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:05.363Z","description":"And proved it","url":"https://time.com/2917097/gary-oldman-political-correctness-playboy/","keywords":["celebrity","Newsfeed","Alec Baldwin"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f28250fa1856ced/698698eae53aba78404d34a4/468634543.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f28250fa1856ced/698698eae53aba78404d34a4/468634543.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Gary Oldman","caption":"\"Robocop\" - Los Angeles Premiere - Arrivals","creditText":"Gregg DeGuire—Getty","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrity/","name":"celebrity"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2917097/gary-oldman-political-correctness-playboy/","name":"Gary Oldman Really Doesn't Like Political Correctness"}}]}] ```
