Do you want to know what caught the attention of Gogglebox fans recently? Well, it was the comparison made by one of the show's stars between his own face and that of a famous Hollywood actor. Stephen Lustig-Webb, a regular on the Channel 4 series from 2013 to 2023, took to social media to share his observation about the striking resemblance between himself and the star.
As it turns out, the actor in question is none other than Gary Oldman, who has recently appeared in the third season of the Apple TV spy thriller, Slow Horses. In the series, Oldman plays the role of Jackson Lamb, the head of an administrative branch of MI5 where failed agents are sent to do mundane tasks. But it's not his character's job that has caught the attention of Stephen, it's his dishevelled appearance.
In a recent Instagram post, Stephen shared a side-by-side photo of himself from an earlier season of Gogglebox and a promotional image of Gary in character. He simply captioned it with "Slow Horses" and "Uncanny" and tagged Gary in the post. The comparison left Gogglebox and Slow Horses fans in stitches, with some even spitting out their tea when they saw the post.
Among those who joined in on the laughter was Hollywood actress Minnie Driver, known for her roles in Good Will Hunting, GoldenEye, and Tarzan. Even though it's not yet known whether Gary has seen the post, many fans have already pointed out the resemblance to him.
For Stephen, this is not the first time he has made headlines. Last year, he was set to participate in Dancing On Ice but had to pull out due to an injury that required surgery and a lengthy recovery. His place in the show was taken by Eddie the Eagle, who famously competed in the ski jumping event at the 1988 Winter Olympics.
But it seems like Stephen is still very much a part of the Gogglebox family, as he appeared in numerous episodes of the show narrated by Craig Cash. And who knows, with the right condition, he might just make a comeback. In the meantime, fans can catch Stephen and other Gogglebox stars on Channel 4 and All4.
If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them, calling their number, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you. And speaking of Gogglebox returns, there are rumors that one of the show's legends might make a comeback, but with a condition. And on the topic of returns, fans of Dancing On Ice were concerned after seeing Ricky Hatton punch Stephen Mulhern to the ground.
