Hugh Bonneville loved his ‘different’ role in I Came By

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Bonneville loved doing something “slightly different” in ‘I Came By’.
The 58-year-old actor is best-known for playing the Earl of Grantham in ‘Downton Abbey’ – but Hugh relished the challenge of starring in the new Netflix film, which centres on a young graffiti artist who discovers a shocking secret.
Hugh told HeyUGuys: “I think it’s quite interesting to play someone who is clearly a member of the establishment. But actually, there’s more behind the eyes, so to speak.
“I think without being too heavy-handed, it’s a little eye-opener of the people at the top of society and what they … what they can get away with. They can get away with murder, so to speak.
“It was fun to play something that … you know, audiences have got used to seeing me in a big house with a labrador or a small house with a bear, so to play something that was slightly different was fun.”
Meanwhile, Hugh starred in ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ earlier this year, and he conceded that the movie marked the ideal time to end the series.
The veteran actor said: “I suspect, on a practical level, it’s run its course now. I think that was a good time to quit. I don’t know.
“I’m never gonna second guess the future, but did think for a while, actually, yeah, why not, let’s keep going. But I do think it could get a bit thin. I think the second film was such a joyous one and such a good note on which to end the story. And it does feel like it can end.
“There’s still open doors in it, but I think it might be the right time to stop.”
