Gary Oldman IS a father in real life who does care for his son (as he 
said so). It's kinda absurd anyone would ever doubt he's some kind of 
freak who's clueless to the idea of "fatherly love'. And he IS a well-
known versatile "chameleon" actor of our time. 

And I don't understand the big fuss with doubting Gary's ability to 
expressed the so-called "warmth". Even when he was playing a monster 
(Dracula), he did show enough unconventional and 
unforgettable "warmth" to make him a sympathetic love-lorn vampire. 
The Dracula story was turn into a beautiful love story. Maybe 
not "warmth" as in the overtly cuddlely kind as in Hollywood romantic 
comedy's leading man.   

D. who's ditto on the "come on, Hugh Jackman!???"
