Talk:Michael Sheen/Archive 1

Untitled
I don't know if people actually check their references, because I looked at the 3 sources that were used to support the fact that Michael Sheen and Rachel Adams are currently dating. None of them mention Rachel at all. In fact, one article is from 2009 and describes his long term relationship with Lorraine Stewart.

Unless the references actually support statements in the article, I suggest removing them. ?Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.84.188 (talk) 04:09, 8 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Why Is Rachel like partner? They're JUST dating. So every girlfriend have to be cited there?? 200.242.89.70 (talk) 20:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Edited "seven-year relationship" to "eleven-year". Beckinsale and Sheen dated 1992-2003, which it says right at the top of the page. Learn some math.

Sheen
Please mention (the lack of) any relation to the well-known Hollywood Sheen family (Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, etc). 213.112.133.229 (talk) 10:47, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Please don't. Reading the basic facts of his life would lead nobody to suppose he was even remotely connected to the US Sheens.  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  11:49, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Filmography
Can anybody comment on the lack of a filmography for an established screen actor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.121.94 (talk) 05:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It has its own article, look under 'List of performances' for the main article. FruitMonkey (talk) 07:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Political Activist and Former Actor?
How about waiting to see if he actually puts acting behind him and really devotes himself to politics before referring to him as a former actor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.162.253.101 (talk) 00:10, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Considering the quote in the lede "and I said it might mean I work less as an actor and maybe even stop for a while at some point. But I don’t really know yet." I'm inclined to agree with you. I'll edit it out on the strength of that.121.73.221.187 (talk) 06:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Sarah Silverman.
I saw a re-run tonight of an episode of the Conan TV show that featured Sarah Silverman. She spoke of Sheen as her "boyfriend" and of their relationship as on "again, off again". I'm too tired to watch these clips now to see if the relationship mention was captured, but perhaps you have the energy. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 05:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I must have been tired since I forgot to give you the link to the Conan clips! The episode I wrote of are the first three clips on the page: http://teamcoco.com/celebs/sarah-silverman?page=2 Sorry! Wordreader (talk) 17:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Political activist?
The article describes him as a "political activist" but gives no details at all. It says he played one once but absolutely nothing about him being one in real life. The charity work is not political. Nothing in the personal life section suggests anything political. None of the awards are for anything political. What is this all about? Is the description correct at all? If so, should we not have something about it? I'm going to put "citation needed" on it for now. If this can be referenced as something more than "supports local causes" or "expressed some political opinions" then that's fine but we can't have something in the lead section that isn't even mentioned in the rest of the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

OBE
It appears that Sheen has given back his OBE. But am I right in thinking that even if someone gives back an award they still officially have it (whether they like it or not)? I admit this is not based on any actual knowledge but purely on the article about John Lennon still saying "John Winston Ono Lennon MBE" at the top. MFlet1 (talk) 14:44, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Although he has returned the Insignia, he keeps the Rank. He is still officially Michael Sheen OBE. BritFlicks1 (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * He states he "handed back" his OBE and it is not clear whether he had the Queen officially annul the "order". He no longer uses the "order" next to his name. If someone can find a reference on it officially being annulled, that would be useful. Titus Gold (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
