A ‘fuck you boyo’ cunting for luvvy gobshite Michael Sheen.
Sheen’s been mouthing off on the vexing question of whether or not actors can credibly play identities where they don’t have the appropriate life experience; you know, can a hetrosexual realistically play a gay person and so on.
Sheen pontificates that he finds it ‘very hard to accept’ actors who are not Welsh portraying Welsh characters. So speaks the man who’s pursued a very lucrative career playing such obviously Welsh characters as Brian Clough, Tony Bliar and
David Frost.
Personally laddo, I don’t think your profession would make much progress if your colleagues felt the same way. No Oscar for Colin Firth in ‘The King’s Speech’ because he didn’t really have a stutter. No Oscar for Eddie Redmayne in ‘The Theory of Everything’ because he wasn’t really a wheelchair bound sufferer from motor neurone disease. And I’m pretty sure that your fellow Welsh thespian Anthony Hopkins hadn’t actually killed a census taker and then eaten his liver with some fava beans and a fine Chianti.
It’s called ‘acting’ dear boy. A-C-T-I-N-G. Look it up in the dictionary some time.
Nominated by Ron Knee.
He was good when he played Paul Maskinback’s alter ego

As much as Sheen is a luvvy James Hunt of the highest calibre, his version of the old poof and Morocco visiting pedarast, Keneth Williams was unintentionally hilarious. In the biopic from a decade or two ago, he ran home after an unsuccessful fumble at the local cottage. That night, obviously frustrated and confused, he had a J Arthur under the blanket. Sheen’s oooohhhhh and contorted face as his Kenneth done his bag was hilarious. I was half expecting him to shout “matron” as he dropped his load.
A true tour de force! If you’ve not watched that scene and fancy a good laugh, the film is on YT. It’s called Fantabulousa.

Thanks Horace; I watched it years ago but it’s worth another look.

Never have a problem with people playing cunts.

I have very little to add to this cunting. It’s basically perfect.

The sad thing is that he’s a magnificent actor. And yet all too often that gets overlooked because of his inability to keep his mouth shut.

I wonder if he shines umpteen things clean?

The great Terence Stamp has played many different and contrasting roles. From the psycho in The Collector to the dashing hero in Far From The Madding Crowd, to the transsexual in Priscilla Queen of the Desert to General Zod in Superman.
And that is because he is an actor, and he does what an actor is supposed to do. But it appears that this modern lot are gobshite woke arselicks first and actors second. Too many to mention. Coogan, Cuntberbatch, Stewart, that Daniel Radcliffe turd, and Michael Sheen. If any of these libfuck shitehawks want to be remembered as fondly as greats like Stamp, Caine, Harris, O’ Toole and the legendary Ollie Reed, they want to shut the fuck up and do some proper acting.
Mind you, that said, Daniel Twatcliffe is completely shit.
