People Are Just Realising Gary 'Sirius Black' Oldman Was In Friends

This has shaken us!

People are just realising that Gary Oldman, aka Harry Potter's Sirius Black, was also in Friends - and we are shook.

The screen icon appeared in two episodes of the sitcom, but can you remember which character he played?

You can watch a clip below:

If so, you're not alone; fans are shocked that they never made the connection, with one person writing on Twitter: "GARY OLDMAN?! GARY?! OLDMAN?! ON FRIENDS?!?!?!?!"

While another said: "How the f**k did I miss Gary Oldman on Friends!"

And a third added: "Forgot that Gary Oldman was in Friends 😂."

Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Drunk Gary Oldman in Friends has got to be a top 10 thing about Friends."

"I know there are more pressing matters right now, but: Gary Oldman was on Friends??" said another.

We can't believe we never knew Gary played such an iconic character on the show!

Last year, we told you how TikTok users were mind-blown after discovering a connection between EastEnders and the Harry Potter actor.

It turns out that Laila Morse - best known for playing 'Big Mo' Harris in the soap - and Gary, are in fact brother and sister.

TikTok user @martha_madden4 posted a video with the caption 'two actors I refuse to believe that they are siblings' which was followed by a series of pictures featuring both Gary as Sirius and Laila in character on Albert Square.

People admitted their worlds 'had been rocked' after finding out the connection, with one user writing: "Hold up what I literally had no idea."

While a second added: "No this is a lie I'm living in the matrix surely this cannot be true my whole world has been rocked."

Gary Oldman is known for playing Sirius Black in the Harry Potter films (

And if you were wondering why they have different surnames, the answer is even more surprising. "Laila Morse" is actually a stage name for Maureen Oldman.
