Jim Broadbent is set to play Denis Thatcher opposite Meryl Streep’s former British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher in THE IRON LADY, a new biopic, and surefire Oscar favourite from director Phillipa Lloyd. Up until now, all that we had was one official image of Streep as said Iron Lady, and a few hazy set pics of the American actress on set, but now courtesy of The Mail On Sunday, we can take a look at Broadbent as Denis.
Onlookers said Broadbent’s performance as he filmed a scene from The Iron Lady was more reminiscent of John Cleese in the Ministry Of Silly Walks sketch.
Despite the hat and glasses, the actor also looks almost nothing like the man he is playing.
