I couldnt believe that this has happened.
Ive had to bring myself down to the earth to get my head back into it.
Bodyguardwas a hit in the U.K. before it went on Netflix in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Im really glad that weve got this platform that we get to share this show.
I had to be very delicate so you can convey what was important and relevant to his character.
Things that maybe arent as clean-cut as we sometimes know about PTSD.
Did the character linger with you?
But having the job finished, Im not scoping the streets for dangers.
Im very much back to myself.
Thats part of whats so interesting about this character.
Hes someone thats trying to hide everything.
I love Keeley Hawes to pieces.
These characters are very isolated and lonely and they seem to be very selfless.
Did you know that her character was going to die?I knew after the start of the show.
I didnt know what was going to happen after that.
Jed Mercurio has said that hes interested in continuing the show for asecond season.
Weve texted each other and were very excited to see each other tomorrow.
What was it like to film that?Rocketmanfeels likeMoulin Rouge!on acid about Elton John.
So Ive gone fromBodyguardto all singing, all dancing.
Its got all these songs and music in it and a great group to work with.
I love mixing things up.
Did you do lot of singing and dancing in it?[Laughs.]
I did my fair share.
Which is not my comfort zone, but is very much fun to shoot.
