Ian McShane<\/a> thinks modern actors “take themselves too seriously”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ian McShane believes young actors are too serious<\/p>\n

The 81-year-old star has worked with some of the best-known actors in the history of the movie business, including Richard Burton, John Hurt and Oliver Reed, and Ian has accused up-and-coming actors of being too serious in their approach.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his experience of working with Oliver, Ian told the Guardian newspaper: “We did ‘Sitting Target’ together. I knew him before that and we had a good time together. <\/p>\n

“The trouble was he became inclined to be a bit of a bully when he drank, but he was charming most of the time.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Richard told Ian that he reminded him of Dame Elizabeth Taylor, his wife.<\/p>\n

\nIan – who has enjoyed success in Britain and in Hollywood – continued: “Richard was terrific. <\/p>\n

\n“I think he was very underrated when we did ‘Villain’ and I played his bisexual driver fixer, Wolfie. There\u2019s the infamous scene where we\u2019re about to get it on and he looked at me and said: ‘I\u2019m very glad you\u2019re playing this part.’ I said: ‘Really, Richard?’ He said: ‘Yes, because you remind me of Elizabeth.’ I said: ‘Well, that\u2019s nice.'”<\/p>\n

\nIn recent years, Ian has worked with Keanu Reeves on the ‘John Wick’ film franchise, and he believes that his co-star is an outlier in the movie business.<\/p>\n

\nThe veteran actor admitted that he’s relished the experience of working with Keanu, 59, on the money-spinning franchise.<\/p>\n

\nIan explained: “Most modern actors take themselves too seriously. <\/p>\n

\n“Keanu is one of the most wonderful human beings I\u2019ve ever met. Keanu is by no stretch of the imagination a ball of fun, but he\u2019s seriously sensitive and great to work with.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
