Jim Broadbent was attracted to playing Kempton Bunton in 'The Duke' because he was an "anti-establishment" hero. The 72-year-old star leads the cast of the movie as Kempton - a man who allegedly stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from London's National Gallery in protest of the fact that poorer people were required to pay for TV licenses - and Jim admits that he could "identify" with his alter ego's rebellious streak. Jim told BANG Showbiz at the UK premiere of the film on Tuesday night (08.02.22): "I like to think of actors as being generally anti-establishment, there to rock the...

Jim Broadbent has slammed the idea of cancel culture. The 72-year-old actor claimed that while the early days of his own career were filled with “lots of nudity and swearing”, he thinks it is "horrible" that stars now have to be much more "cautious" about doing anything that may be used against them in the future. He said: “[There was] lots of nudity and swearing. The theatre was dangerous — and offensive. But an awful lot of people are now cautious. If they say something inadvisable, it might crop up later. That’s horrible.” The ‘Notting Hill’ star went on to pay tribute to late director Roge...
