Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man villain Tim Roth starred in The Incredible Hulk and Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake to "embarrass" his kids

Tim Roth as Beckett reading with his feet on a desk in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Tim Roth is British acting royalty. A Quentin Tarantino regular, he's appeared in movies and shows for the legendary likes of David Lynch, Mike Leigh and Alan Clarke. Which is why his less-celebrated turns as Emil Blonsky/The Abomination in the MCU and as chief villain Thade in Tim Burton's maligned Planet of the Apes remake may seem like outliers on his CV. Turns out theres' a good reason for that.

"That I did originally to make my kids embarrassed at school," Roth tells GamesRadar+, referring to 2008 MCU black sheep The Incredible Hulk. "I did a couple of movies like that. I did Planet of the Apes for that [reason] as well, just to literally to embarrass him at school."
