Iconic actor Gary Oldman was left in stitches of laughter after watching a humorous edit of his illustrious acting highlights.

The esteemed Oscar winner watched with emotion as he was presented with clips from his remarkable career, including his role in Dracula and his Academy Award-honored portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

The trip down memory lane offered by interviewer Stephen Colbert elicited raw emotion from Oldman, 66, who found himself tearful amidst laughter over a cunning twist added to the footage.

In a moment that quickly became internet gold, Oldman was seen hunched over, chuckling so hard that he had to dab his eyes with his scarf while re-watching his most memorable scenes, whimsically tweaked, to the amusement of Slow Horses fans.

Fans of Oldman relished the viral interview snippet, featuring edited clips from Air Force One, Dracula, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

A social media user shared the beloved actor's lighthearted session with X. They wrote: "Gary Oldman giggling at farts dubbed into his movies, then laughing 'til the tears roll down his cheeks, may well be the happiest minute of your day."

Fans were delighted by Oldman's candid joy, with many lauding his genuine response to the comedic surprise masterminded by Colbert. One admirer penned: "The legend himself having a great time. Love to see it."

Another follower expressed gratitude for the much-needed levity. They wrote: "Thank you for causing this to show up on my timeline. It's awesome to start the work day laughing uncontrollably at farts while Gary Oldman laughs uncontrollably at farts."

An additional fan remarked: "I can watch this over and over. Gary giggling from the mere thought of it is adorable."

Scores of fans have hailed the footage as one of the greatest laughs ever encountered on the platform. One user exclaimed: "Laughing so hard at this. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on here."

Oldman received high praise from another admirer who remarked: "My favourite actor of all time. I love that he can have fun and not take s**t so serious. He's a legend."

Amidst his reaction to the comical edit of Darkest Hour, Oldman chuckled: "That's really a hoot!" He went on to reveal his top pick for an on-screen demise during the chat.

With a prolific portfolio including roles in Air Force One and Léon: The Professional, Oldman surprised many by selecting his role in State of Grace as his standout death scene, recounting how his character's end felt gratifyingly abrupt.

Describing the iconic cinematic moment, Oldman recalled: "I fold like a sort of doll. It's like the strings are cut and I just drop." Not everyone was impressed by the fits of laughter at fart edits, but admitted while it is "dumb" it is also one of the funniest things they had seen.

They wrote: ".... it's so dumb....and it's still the funniest thing I saw today." Another added: "I love Oldman so much and this is utterly hilarious."
