The actress, who plays Big Mo - a character known for running scams, selling knock-off goods and having a heart of gold - on the BBC One soap, starred in The Give Back, a campaign by Reebok celebrating British culture, back in July.
In the video, Morse is given a pair of Princess trainers by rapper K-Trap, who pulls up alongside her in a van.
Asked whether he’s seen the campaign in a new interview with Radio Times, Oldman responded: "She’s done a Reebok campaign?"

After watching the video, he said: "Oh my god, that’s hilarious. You know, I’d recognise that laugh from far away."
He continued: "My sister has a laugh that sort of sounds like it’s trying to start a truck, or a car. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... Well done, Maureen. Well done."

Oldman will soon be appearing in the sixth season of Apple TV's Slow Horses, where he plays the beloved Jackson Lamb, an intelligence officer and the head of Slough House, a centre for exiled MI5 agents.
Season 6 lands on the platform on 16 September, with our own four-star review stating: "Once again, it’s a high-wire act of laughs and thrills. In its quieter moments, when grudges fester and Lamb abuses his underlings, Slow Horses remains the funniest workplace comedy on television."

Meanwhile, Oldman called for his Slow Horses co-star Jack Lowden to be cast as the new James Bond.
"It’s been rumoured that he’s on the shortlist," he said, "We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack."
