EastEnders star Laila Morse poses for rare pictures with Oscar-winning actor brother Gary Oldman

EastEnders star Laila Morse has posed with her Hollywood A-lister brother Gary Oldman in new rare snaps from their Christmas festivities.

The Big Mo actress, 73, jetted to sunny Palm Springs, California, to join her sibling and his wife and children for the big day - the first since the death of their mother Kathleen earlier this year.

Pictures shared on Instagram by Gary’s fifth wife Gisele Schmidt showed the soap star poke fun at her Oscar-winning brother as he shared a sweet kiss with his partner.

The actress, real name Maureen Oldman, is also seen making a ‘proper English Christmas dinner’ - as captioned by Gisele - with Laila, Gary, and their sister Jackie cooking up a storm in one snap.


The pictures offer a rare glimpse into the famous siblings’ lives - who often surprise fans with their family connection, which first came to predominant attention following Gary's awards win at the beginning of the year.


The Oldman siblings were joined in the shots by two out of three of the Darkest Hour star’s sons; Gulliver, 21, and Charlie, 19, as well as Gisele's son William, 10, and her parents.

It is the family's first Christmas without their mother, Kathleen, who died aged 98 - just three months after seeing her son win the Best Actor Oscar for Darkest Hour.


A statement posted to the Instagram account shared by Gary and his wife Gisele confirmed the news in June this year, stating: 'Kathleen Oldman 1919 - 2018.'

It continued with a heartfelt tribute, referring to Kathleen as 'Kay' - as she was known affectionately by her loved ones.

The tribute read: 'It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Kay Oldman, Mother of Gary Oldman, Jacqueline Wyles, and Maureen Lesley Bass.
