Gary Oldman was left ‘disgusted’ following his first meeting with Harvey Weinstein in 1993 and refused to work with him.
The Oscar winning British actor, 60, was with his close pal Douglas Urbanski when they met the disgraced movie mogul, who greeted them ‘in his hotel room in his robe’ – giving the two friends ‘the creeps.’
The new claims come after actress Rose McGowan discussed the alleged assault at the hands of Harvey in a candid interview, where she claimed he even hired a spy company to harass and intimidate her.

Recalling the uncomfortable incident, Urbanski – who produced the critically acclaimed flick Darkest Hour, for which Gary won his Oscar for this year – revealed to The Mirror: ‘We were given the creeps. We met him in his hotel room at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills and he was wearing a robe. That robe should be made illegal.’
The breakfast meeting, where Harvey was ‘putting cigarette ash in his coffee cup then drinking from it’, left the pals agreeing to ‘never talk to him again’ when they left.
‘We just didn’t like him. He was promising us money and meetings but we never did business with him. We never had a call or meeting with him again,’ Douglas revealed.

This comes after Rose McGowan, 44, defiantly admitted to The Mirror, that she is ‘not afraid’ to speak out against Harvey – claiming she has been intimidated and followed by an Israeli spy company employed by the movie mogul in a bid to counteract her story.
‘I’m sure he would prefer it if I were dead, he’s a sociopath,’ she told the publication.
‘I am not afraid – but I should be.
‘The people around him, that have supported him in his attempt to dominate and abuse women, are monsters, just as much as he is’.
The Charmed star added there was no ‘rehabilitation’ for the film boss and that he ‘needs to fall off the planet.’

Rose, who has previously spoke out about her alleged assault in a candid memoir Brave, also accused Harvey Weinstein of enlisting the help of a spy company to ‘ruin her life’ by hacking her computer and releasing photos.
The New York Times published excerpts, in which she recounted the alleged assault she suffered at the hands of the disgraced movie producer at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.
In the book, she claims she had an appointment with Weinstein on the day of the incident but arrived to learn her breakfast meeting had been moved to his hotel suite.

Once she got to the suite, she claims that Weinstein tore off her clothing, made her sit on the edge of the Jacuzzi in his suite and proceeded to perform oral sex on the actress while masturbating himself to completion.
Soon after this alleged assault, McGowan received a $100,000 settlement from the disgraced mogul.
Through his lawyers, Weinstein denied the incident.
It’s been an emotional time for McGowan, who recently spoke out following the death of her former manager Jill Messick, who took her own life last month.
Rose said, ‘For Jill: May your family find some measure of solace during this pain.’
