Andrew Lincoln Naked on Screen at 50: Teenage Kids Aren’t Impressed!
Andrew Lincoln's Shocking Confession: His Teenage Children Are Not Speaking to Him After His Latest X-Rated Role!
In a jaw-dropping interview with The Times, The Walking Dead heartthrob Andrew Lincoln has revealed that his teenage children are not speaking to him after he bared all on screen in his latest role. The 50-year-old actor has been stripping off for years, but this time around, it's his family who's left feeling uncomfortable.
Lincoln plays the lead in ITV's new thriller Coldwater, which marks his first UK TV role in 15 years. In the drama, he stars as John, a middle-aged man living in London with an identity crisis. The synopsis reads like a recipe for disaster: when John's failure to intervene in a violent confrontation brings his life to a head, he ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater.
But what really caught our attention was Lincoln's admission that his teenage children, Matilda, 17, and Arthur, 15, are not speaking to him after he pre-warned them about his latest X-rated role. "I said to Arthur: 'How would you feel about me pleasuring myself on national television?' And he said: 'What do you think?'" Lincoln recalled with a chuckle.
However, it seems the joke's on him now. His children are still not speaking to him, and his son, in particular, was unimpressed by his dad's decision to strip off on screen. "My son just said: 'Can you just not have waited for three years until I was through school?'" Lincoln quipped.
But it's not just the kids who are uncomfortable with Lincoln's latest role. His wife, Gael Anderson (daughter of Jethro Tull lead vocalist Ian Anderson), has had to watch her husband's scenes on screen – and she's given them her approval. "Look, I'm just thrilled that people are still asking me to get naked at 50," Lincoln gushed.
Lincoln's decision to take on the role in Coldwater has been met with mixed reactions from fans. While some have praised his willingness to push boundaries, others have expressed concerns about the content of the show. The drama explores themes of identity, marriage, and infidelity, and features a star-studded cast including Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting), Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Eve Myles (Keeping Faith).
The writer and creator of Coldwater, David Ireland, has said that the show began with an innocent question: "Where do I want to live – the countryside or the city?" But what emerged was a dark, funny, and twisted thriller. And it's clear that Lincoln is thrilled to be a part of it.
"I'm delighted when ITV decided to commission it," Ireland said. "And I'm amazed we've managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln."
Coldwater airs on ITV1 and ITVX on September 14. Will you be tuning in to see Lincoln's latest performance? Or will his decision to strip off on screen leave you feeling uncomfortable?
Gael Anderson: The Perfect Wife
But who is Gael Anderson, the woman behind Andrew Lincoln's latest role? A former assistant to Gwyneth Paltrow, Gael has a long history of being part of high-profile couples. She married Andrew in 2007, and the couple have two children together.
Gael's own background is just as fascinating. Her father, Ian Anderson, is the lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist for Jethro Tull, one of the most iconic rock bands of all time. And her mother, Shona Learoyd, was a "beautiful convent-educated daughter of a wealthy wool manufacturer," according to Rolling Stone magazine.
Gael's wedding to Andrew in 2007 was a star-studded affair, with Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple Martin serving as the flower girl. But it seems that Gael has her own secrets – and she's not afraid to keep them hidden from the public eye.
The Perfect Cast
But what really makes Coldwater stand out is its cast. From Ewen Bremner, who played Mark Renton in Trainspotting, to Indira Varma, who starred as a Sith Lord in Obi-Wan Kenobi, this is one drama that's not afraid to push boundaries.
And then there's Andrew Lincoln, the star of The Walking Dead and Coldwater. With his dashing good looks and on-screen chemistry with co-star Ewen Bremner, it's no wonder he's thrilled to be taking on this latest role.
So will you be tuning in to see Lincoln's latest performance? Or will his decision to strip off on screen leave you feeling uncomfortable? Only time will tell.
