HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES — Actor Gary Oldman says he is honored, humbled and overwhelmed to be chosen to leave his mark in Hollywood history at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre: the hands, the feet, the signature.

It’s a moment that comes with an impressive career now spanning more than 40 years.

“In terms of just the history of moviemaking and the tradition of this is — it’s an honor,” said Oldman.

Gary’s been honored three times with Best Actor Oscar nominations.

The last one came for “Mank.” The first one was for “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.” In between those two nominations, he won the award in 2018 for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.”

Gary played President Harry Truman in “Oppenheimer.” He was part of the “Harry Potter” world and the world of “Batman.” He played “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and Sid Vicious in “Sid and Nancy.” Oldman’s latest role is on the Apple TV+ series “Slow Horses.”

Actor Jacob Elordi, Gary’s friend and manager Doug Urbankski, and Kaley Cuoco — who told the crowd about her favorite Oldman role in “Friends” — spoke at Oldman’s ceremony on Friday.

“Gary played a very unprofessional actor who could not stop spitting on Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc,” said Cuoco. “This literally brought me to tears.”

Oldman’s next big honor will come soon when he returns to England to be officially knighted by King Charles.

“It does seem a little excessive, doesn’t it? Honestly, I’m not that greedy. I mean, when we were doing ‘Darkest Hour,’ I think they were inventing, making up things to give me,” said Oldman. “Now when we, I go, like if I see something in a lobby if we’re in a hotel or something, I always grab it and say, ‘I don’t have this one.'”
