FUNERAL: Tom Wilkinson. Laid To Rest | Body Carried In Expensive Cars😭💔

Welcome back to my Channel where I will talk about the Oscar nominated actor Tom Wilkinson.
Tom Wilkinson poses for photographers on the red carpet ahead of the Royal and World Premiere of the film "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" in London, Feb. 17, 2015. Wilkinson died suddenly on Saturday.

He died suddenly at home with his wife and family, they said in a statement.

Two-time Oscar-nominated actor Tom Wilkinson, who starred in "The Full Monty" — a movie about a group of unemployed steel workers who launched new careers as strippers — died suddenly on Saturday.

The British actor's death was confirmed in a statement released by his agent on behalf of his family. He was 75.

"It is with great sadness that the family of Tom Wilkinson announce that he died suddenly at home on December 30. His wife and family were with him."

Wilkinson was nominated for Academy Awards for actor in a leading role for "In The Bedroom" in 2001, and for a supporting role in "Michael Clayton" in 2007.

He most recently reunited with his "Full Monty" co-stars, Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy, in a Disney+ series of the same name.

He also earned an Emmy for playing US political figure Benjamin Franklin in 2008 mini-series John Adams and an Emmy nomination as John F Kennedy’s father Joe in The Kennedys. He played President Lyndon B Johnson in 2014’s Selma, and appeared in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Girl with a Pearl Earring.

He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) before following the well-worn path to theatre and television work. In 1986, he got his first major screen role in mini-series First Among Equals, based on Jeffrey Archer’s best-selling novel.

Playing alongside him was Diana Hardcastle. The couple married in 1988, and also went on to play husband and wife in The Kennedys in 2011, and in 2014 action film Good People. The couple had two daughters, Alice and Molly.

When he portrayed Pecksniff in Martin Chuzzlewit for the BBC in 1994, Wilkinson said: “I looked at it and I thought, I can’t get it any better than that. It came out exactly as I meant it to come out. It won a couple of prizes and I thought, I can act, there’s no question.”

Three years later, he was cast as a former factory foreman who joins fellow unemployed workmates in staging a strip show in The Full Monty.

“I was simultaneously offered the lead in a TV series and a possible part in a low-budget movie,” he told the Guardian.

“I remember phoning a friend and he said, ‘Take the TV, take the TV’. But I didn’t follow his advice, and the TV turned out to be crap.”

The low-budget movie, meanwhile, turned out to be the highest-grossing British film up to that point, and took his career to a new level on both sides of the Atlantic.

Wilkinson received high critical acclaim for Todd Field’s 2001 US domestic drama In the Bedroom, in which he played a bereaved father. He was nominated for an Oscar for best actor.

He hoped the film would do two things for him, he later said. “One, [prove] I could play the lead role in a movie. Two, I could play an American lead role. And it did both of those things.”

The actor earned his second Academy Award nomination for his supporting role in Tony Gilroy’s 2007 legal thriller Michael Clayton, starring George Clooney.

Wilkinson’s other credits included Batman Begins, The Patriot, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Gathering Storm, Black Knight, Valkyrie, The Lone Ranger and Denial.

He also provided the voice of the fox in the TV adaptation of children’s best-seller The Gruffalo.
The actor also took home the best supporting actor Bafta for the role.

Wilkinson won a 2009 Golden Globe and 2008 Emmy for his role as American political figure Benjamin Franklin in the HBO series "John Adams," opposite Paul Giamatti.
Clooney praised the actor Saturday, speaking with Variety.

"Tom made every project better. Made every actor better," Clooney said. "He was the epitome of elegance and he will be dearly missed by all of us."
Oour condolences are with his family may he rest in peace .
That's the end of the script I hope you liked it!
Thanks for watching!
