Given the hype, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Threlfall might be feeling more than a little bit apprehensive about the reviews. He’s not.

You kind of get a loss of confidence.” How does he overcome it? “You get on...

    He speaks passionately about acting, describing it in a way that makes it sound, almost, like a mania. “I have a real need to do it,” he explains. “For me, I think, it’s obsession, it’s curiosity, it’s passion, and it’s a bit of dressing up.” He claims that he finds watching himself on television in front of a room full of strangers “excruciating” ...
