   In a 2014 Playboy interview, Gary Oldman said he was tired of the media claiming the film was based on his own life and his parents. He said: "You hear it from the horse's mouth. This character is not my father. My mother was never beaten. This character was a composite; partly fiction, partly a kid I knew at school. This is not my personal story, but that's what the media wanted."
