I had spent the week in the run up to it doing all this mad preparation like eating certain foods and drinking 15 million litres of water and then it got cancelled. So this guy, Matt Bowring, is absolutely amazing and he really helped me get in shape for that.Īnd the day we were meant to film the tattoo scene, it got cancelled about 20 minutes beforehand due to a COVID scare. There was a great personal trainer they had got for Matthew Goode, but I ended up stealing him. The tattoo scene was interesting to film. In the six months prior to filming that I was trying to make sure that I could at least service that aspect of Gallowglass because, vanity aside, when you’re getting semi-nude on camera – his physical stature and physical presence is described in detail in the book so I wanted to try and get into the best shape I could. We get to see a bit more of Gallowglass this season when he is semi-nude, getting his chest-and-shoulder tattoo refreshed. I got a phone call from my agent saying that they were casting for A Discovery of Witches, and this was the character, and the description was that he was this physical giant almost, so on that side of things I don't quite fit!īut character and personality wise – sometimes when you go for certain parts, you kind of feel right from the offset, and you might have a good chance because you connect or you might have some natural qualities that lend themselves to that role, and I kind of felt that with Gallowglass.
How did you get the role of Gallowglass originally? I think fans of vampire stuff love that unrequited and forbidden love aspect of stories. I think it is partly because in book three, he ends up developing this burning love for Diana, and is also her sworn protector.ĭespite the fact he kind of hates Matthew’s father … he still swears allegiance to the De Clermont family, and despite these deep rooted feelings he still promises to wait 400 years until Diana is born and to look after her from afar, and he does this whilst having realised he has fallen in love with her, but he can never do anything about it because she is mated with his uncle and best friend. Gallowglass is really popular with fans, and many want him to end up with Diana.
