Gary Oldman admitted to needing to apologize to former co-star Demi Moore for his unprofessional conduct during the filming of 'The Scarlet Letter' in 1995. He acknowledged that his struggle with alcohol impacted his behavior. Despite being able to complete scenes while intoxicated, he felt remorseful for disappointing Moore. Reflecting on his time, he noted his past issues with alcohol led to rehab in 1994 and praised Alcoholics Anonymous for aiding his recovery, celebrating nearly three decades of sobriety and professing a lack of desire to drink again.
'I think the worst thing you can do is inspire disappointment,' the 'Slow Horses' actor told Radio Times. 'I was in The Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore, and I had intermittent bouts of boozing during filming.'
'I drank too much in the lunch hour. It was such a destructive thing. I got back on the set to do quite a big scene and I got through it,' he said.
'You wouldn't really know but I was quite tipsy. And the next day, I said to her, 'I'm so sorry, you must hate me.' 'I was mortified that I'd been so unprofessional.'
Oldman's past issues with booze landed him in rehab in 1994 after he was arrested for drunk driving three years prior.
