It is such an honour to get to play a strong contender for Beatle #5, producer George Martin, in Sam Mendes’ upcoming 4 x Beatles Films.
The more I learn about GM and what he did with the Fab Four, the more I want to learn. It was an extraordinary partnership at an extraordinary time.
I obviously can’t say anything about what we may or may not be doing in these films… But if any of you have any insights or information about George that I might not find in the publicly available research materials, I am All Ears..
Our short film 22+1 is now available to watch for free on YouTube (link in bio).
This is a deeply personal project for everyone who worked on it and I couldn’t be prouder to have been involved and to share it with you all now.
For everyone and anyone who has been affected by the issues portrayed in this 20-minute story. We hope this film can be a healing influence.
Best watched with a hand to hold.
Thank you so much to the Pippa’s for bringing me into this extraordinary family. And thanks to all of you for the support you’ve already shown.

#TheIrisAffair has now started on @skytv . First 4 episodes available then you get 1 ep a week on Thursdays til Nov 13th.
Enjoy this beautiful, violent, mad story. Part of the puzzle is why Iris is doing what she does. You will be switching sides between the characters as the puzzle pieces move. It’s a very clever ride and loads of fun.
Here are some pics from filming last Summer in Italy. Favourite memories include:
1.) Hugo Pym - reptilian bad guy turns up a few episodes in.
2.) Gelato
3.) New BFF GoT alum Kristofer Hivju
4.) Legend that is Angela Bruce
5.) We accentuated the scar I got filming Robin Hood in 2006 to add extra villainy to Pym
6.) At the last minute we decided Hugo did NOT need a moustache!
7.) Amazing evening strolls around Rome listening to @blindboyboatclub
8.) My favourite town in the world: Santo Stefano di Sessanio

Very excited to share another new trailer:
THE IRIS AFFAIR is an 8-part drama from the twisted brilliant mind of Neil Cross (Luther).
It’s a Violent Thriller trying to get out of an Escape Room, co-starring Quantum Computing and Existential Philosophy.
Uncategorizable, really. A chase and a puzzle. I think you will like.
First 4 episodes were directed by legend Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul), the cast are top tier and all the Italian locations are ridiculously sexy.
The brief glimpse you get of me in this trailer sums up my character pretty effectively. Another dude for fans of the unhinged…
Starts on Sky, Thursday October 16th.

This is the trailer for a very excellent short film that I am extremely proud to be in.
22+1 refers to the number of weeks and days into pregnancy that Ruby and Will lose their baby.
I’m going to be talking a lot more about this project as it is launches over the coming year as a) I want everyone to see it and b) because it touches on some really big subjects that don’t get discussed enough.
But for now I just wanted to share a first look trailer that @pippabennettwarner sent me. This is her directorial debut, plus she’s co-writer, producer, exec producer and star. She is unbelievable in every role.
We were buddies before this, but now we are Proper Friends and I can’t speak highly enough about what she has done here.
Also my favourite song of last year (100% true) is the song written for this film that you can hear in part in the trailer. It was written and performed by @bastilledan - frontman of the band Bastille - and I think it is just a perfect creation.
Huge love and thanks to the brains and hearts behind this - esp @pippavosper for sharing her story and @supergregg . Thank you both for being such wonderful to people to know and work with.
And it was just announced that we will have our World Premiere at the London Film Festival on October 14th with another screening on the 16th.
We are absolutely thrilled.
Tickets available Sept 16th - a week earlier for BFI members. Come if you can!
Can’t wait for you guys to see this one. It’s sad and special like life.
