Back in January, British actor Gary Oldman played what is arguably his most unexpected role to date: a high-end fashion model. Along with highly-respected 'colleagues' Willem Dafoe, Tim Roth and Jamie Bell, Oldman, 54, cut a dash as he stepped out on to the Prada catwalk during Milan Men's Fashion Week.
"It was a gas, mainly because of Mrs Prada and her team, who are meticulous and treated me royally" he reveals.

Oldman has since gone back for seconds, agreeing to front the autumn/winter 2012 menswear campaign with Bell, Dafoe and Garrett Hedlund under the expert lens of fashion photographer David Sims
But the mustachioed actor lets slip that he had ulterior motives for working with Miuccia Prada and her team.
"My youngest, Charlie, wants to be a designer, so he's been lucky to meet Miuccia and be hanging out with the right people."
