Luke Evans: Luke’s train job (THE SUN)

HEART-THROB Luke Evans is to play the man who masterminded the Great Train Robbery in a new TV drama.

Luke, 33, best known for playing Aramis in the Three Musketeers movie, told TV Biz he will play the lead role of Bruce Reynolds in the two-part drama.

Bruce hatched the plan for the 1963 mail train heist, at the time Britain’s biggest ever robbery, with a haul worth £41million in today’s money.

Luke said: “I am really looking forward to the role – it is a bit against type for me maybe but he was quite a character.

“I think the drama will really show what happened. It concentrates on the robbery from both sides and you get an excellent idea of what happened. I think it will make great TV.”
