Matthew Rhys opens up about his struggle for ‘The Beast in Me’
Matthew Rhys recently revealed he had to convince The Beast in Me team that he could pull off being creepy.
In a talk with Entertainment Weekly, the 50-year-old Welsh actor admitted when he read the script of Netflix’s show, The Beast in Me, he thought the role of Nile Jarvis, a real estate tycoon suspected of killing his wife, was out of his reach.
Sharing his thoughts, Rhys said, “I read it and I was like, ‘I won’t get this. People don’t come to me for this.’ I have these Celtic eyes. I do downtrodden well, I don’t do megalomaniac or sociopath.”
Moreover, the show’s creator, Howard Gordon, went on to offer his thoughts on The Edge of Love star’s audition, noting he could not get a chance to depict a role of sociopath or megalomaniac before.
“He brought something else to it. He’s so charming and funny and charismatic. But he is scary,” Gordon confessed.
“I had to persuade them that I can be creepy,” Rhys quipped and added with a joke that he ‘parked outside’ cast member Claire Danes’ residence to prove his point, saying, “That seemed to do it.”
For the unversed, in The Beast in Me, Danes plays Aggie Wiggs, an author who cannot write after her young son’s death. When Nile moves in next door and wants a running path, Wiggs argues with him, until she thinks he might be the “perfect subject” for her next book.
It is pertinent to mention that The Beast in Me is slated to be released on November 13, 2025.
Drag Race Philippines star Misua died at the age of 27, the show’s production company confirmed Friday.
World of Wonder announced that the performer, whose real name was Jason Evie Go Ty, passed away in their sleep on April 2.
Misua, who also worked as a graphic designer outside of drag, was set to appear in the upcoming fourth season of Drag Race Philippines.
It had just begun filming.
“We are heartbroken to share that Misua, a talented queen set to appear on season four of Drag Race Philippines, passed away in her sleep the morning of April 2,” World of Wonder said in a statement.
“She brought light, artistry, and joy to those around her, and she will be deeply missed. We have paused production to care for and support our cast and crew during this incredibly difficult time.”
The company added that it is in contact with Misua’s family, who have requested privacy.
Misua’s family also shared a tribute on Facebook.
It wrote, “Jayson was our dearly loved son, brother, friend, mentor, and most of all, Jayson is a star. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and close friends.”
Audiences had been expecting to see Misua compete alongside other queens in the new season, which now faces an uncertain timeline as production remains paused.
Easter weekend = zero plans, maximum snacks, and a remote that’s about to work overtime. If you are ready to fully commit to couch life, here’s your no-nonsense, actually-worth-it watchlist.
- Babies – BBC iPlayer/ BBC One
A quiet heartbreaker. Two people, one dream, and the kind of grief no one prepares you for. Bring tissues – seriously.
- Secret Garden – BBC One
David Attenborough doing what he does best – making ypur backyard feel like a hidden kingdom. Cozy, calming, oddly addictive.
Dark, gritty and full of “just one more episode” energy. If you like your crime shows bleak but brilliant, you are sorted.
- I’m a Celebrity… South Africa – ITVX
Chaos in the jungle (again), but with familiar faces. Except drama, bugs and at least one meltdown.
- The Devil’s Hour – ITVX
Waking up at 3:33am has never been this terrifying. Creepy, clever and properly bingeable.
- The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer – Channel 4
Celebrities + cake + mild panic. Comfort TV at its finest.
- Raising Chelsea — Disney+
Real life, real chaos and a baby on the way. Equal parts sweet and “are they okay?”
- China with Ben Fogle — Channel 5
Big landscapes, bigger history. It’s basically a passport without the airport queues.
- Your Friends and Neighbors — Apple TV+
Jon Hamm stealing from rich neighbours? Messy, dramatic, and weirdly fun.
- A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms — HBO Max
Less politics, more adventure. Westeros – but make it wholesome(ish).
Fast, frantic, and stress-inducing in the best way. Basically, don’t start this before bed.
- Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen — Netflix
The title says it all. Dark, gory, and not for the faint-hearted.
Whether you’re in it for chills, chaos, or cake – this weekend’s TV lineup has you covered. Just don’t blame us when “one episode” turns into six.
