Downton Abbey star Rob James-Collier has said it is "easier" playing a gay character in the hit ITV drama, because his wife does not get jealous about his on-screen romances.

The actor, whose character Thomas Barrow works as a servant downstairs, is on The Jonathan Ross Show tomorrow with his co-star, Joanne Froggatt.

He told Ross: "I found it easier. The way I was thinking was that if you kiss a girl you worry about: 1) How big her boyfriend is; 2) Is he in the building watching and is he going to kick the shit out of you?; and 3) What is my missus going to think of it?

"So we went to the BFI for a big unveiling on the cinema screen, and the missus knew (the kiss) was coming, and we were all sitting watching it and I thought 'Nice one, she can't accuse me of anything', and the missus turned to me and said 'You've never kissed me like that'."

Danny Boyle admits he treated Ewan McGregor 'badly' Casting of 'The Beach' caused a rift between the previously close collaborators By Ben Arnold (YAHOO MOVIES)



Danny Boyle has said that he treated Ewan McGregor badly over the casting of his film 'The Beach'.

The director, who had cast McGregor in his films 'Shallow Grave', 'Trainspotting' and 'A Life Less Ordinary' snubbed McGregor in favour of Leonardo DiCaprio for the adaptation of Alex Garland's gap-year essential.

“We didn't treat him very well, I've got to be honest about it, we didn't behave at our best,” he told Jonathan Ross.



“You learn and we've apologized  We made this film called The Beach, and we gave Ewan the impression we were going to cast him in it and we didn't cast him in it, we cast another actor, a wonderful actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who was a lovely guy, they're both wonderful.

“You think you're moving up, it's the illusion that you think you're moving up, therefore you're going to need a bigger star to sell the movie. You learn to stick with your roots.”

Boyle also added to the excitement around the possibility of a sequel to 'Trainspotting', based on Irvine Welsh's book 'Porno'.
