Netflix star ashamed of being caught disguised as Prince Andrew.

Actor Rufus Sewell recently opened up about his transformative process for portraying Prince Andrew in Netflix's upcoming film, Scoop. He took his preparation incredibly seriously, spending hours studying the 2019 Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis where the Duke of York addressed his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sleeping with a minor.

Before officially accepting the role, Rufus wanted to make sure he could accurately portray the royal, so he spent countless hours watching footage and studying Prince Andrew's mannerisms. He even admitted to dressing up in character on his own, although he found it embarrassing when caught.

As he delved into the character, Rufus also watched clips of Prince Andrew in his younger years, noting how charming and charismatic he could be. However, the actor realized that much of his charm was dependent on his status as a prince, which fascinated him.

Playing producer Sam McAlister in the film is actress Billie Piper, who revealed she had difficulty remembering what Rufus actually looked like outside of his prosthetics for the role. The behind-the-scenes team worked hard to create an accurate appearance for Prince Andrew, and Rufus was surprised when his daughter barely batted an eyelid during a FaceTime call while in costume.

As for the controversy surrounding Prince Andrew and his relationship with Epstein, there is also an Amazon series in the works on the subject titled A Very Royal Scandal. It will star Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson.

Scoop, based on Sam McAllister's memoir, will be available to watch on Netflix starting April 5. In the meantime, if you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, feel free to contact The Agency entertainment team through email or their Submit Stuff page. They'd love to hear from you.
