LONDON, Aug 22: Actor Aidan Turner is not liking the fact that people have started focusing more on his chisled physique than his acting.
“Poldark” fans were thrilled when the 33-year-old Irish actor stripped off in the show but his co-star Eleanor Tomlinson says Turner wants to be recognised for his acting ability and not his looks, reported Femalefirst.
“Only because I think Aidan, bless him, is getting a bit fed up with it. ‘Poldark’ is about so much more than that one thing. And although of course it’s dream publicity for the show and it certainly grabbed people’s attention, they didn’t want it to be known just for that.
“I mean, Aidan’s a beautiful man – absolutely gorgeous – but I think he would like to be recognised for his performance, and I would like to stop being asked about his chest,” Tomlinson said.
The 24-year-old actress, who plays Demelza Carne opposite Turner’s Ross Poldark , said they often get the giggles during intimate scenes.
“I’m a complete kid when it comes to sex scenes. It takes me at least two takes to stop laughing. And Aidan’s the same – both of us will be laughing our heads of.” (PTI)
