The original title of the article doesn't say that, but it's an interesting story nonetheless.

To get the project financed, Oldman reached out to the director, Luc Besson, for help. The star and filmmaker had previously worked together on Besson’s hitman thriller Léon: The Professional, and Besson agreed to come on board Nil By Mouth as the producer. After the film’s release, Besson called Oldman and asked him to star in his next movie. “I was singing for my supper,” noted Oldman of the deal made to star in the movie.

I could see Gary Oldman feeling that way about that role. Love the movie, but yeah.

why can you see him feeling that way? he didn't just regarded his performance or role, i am not completely sure i would agree wih you on that, regardless, they asked him about the movie, not just his role., i wish he could have shared wat he might have considered worthy of praise instead.
