Downton Abbey star Brendan Coyle has hit out at fans who film him surreptitiously on camera phones.
The Northamptonshire actor, 49, has become a household name thanks to his role as valet John Bates in Julian Fellowes’ hit ITV1 period drama.
He told the Radio Times: “One thing I’m really keen not to do is complain about the fact that I got a job that’s made me very successful.
“But what I will say is that everyone on the planet has a camera. I posed for about 40 photographs yesterday.
“I don’t mind stopping for a photograph, yes, sure, what I really mind is...” Coyle then did an impression of someone trying to secretly film him.
Coyle said that becoming a heartthrob later in life had not affected his love life.
He added: “I’m going to be 50 soon. It just doesn’t seem to be that important any more. I’m single, I’m looking for something meaningful....”
The former Lark Rise To Candleford actor added: “By the time you’ve been single for quite a long time, you can get quite specific about what you can and can’t put up with.
