Tony Curran on developing chemistry with Nicholas Galitzine for 'Mary & George'
"History’s hottest affair" comes to life in the new limited series Mary & George, which premieres its first episode Friday on Starz.
The show follows Mary and George Villiers, played by Julianne Moore and heartthrob Nicholas Galitzine, as they manipulate King James I into falling for the latter to boost their status and power.
Tony Curran plays the English monarch, who spoke to ABC Audio about developing chemistry with Galitzine before shooting their romantic scenes.
“For the first few weeks, we were in the same hotel. And he was prepping, I was prepping. We started texting each other, and I think it was quite apparent by the corresponding text messages that both of us had a very fun sense of humor,” Curran said.
Mary & George may take place during the 17th century, but Curran says it feels as fresh as now.
“The first thing I thought was so interesting and fascinating about it was how character driven the story was and how it was about this Jacobean period, [the] little known 23-year reign of King James, that we haven't heard too much about in television or film, and how contemporary it felt,” Curran said. “The very fruity vernacular language, it's very uncompromising in its delivery.”
While the series shows King James having many male lovers, Curran says he doesn’t believe it to be the focus of the project.
“I think the story has queer elements to it but it's not, like, a story, per se, about a queer king. It is, obviously. But I think there's a more human story as well," Curran said.
The actor continued, saying King James “was deeply trying to find some sort of meaning” in life.
“When you can't find meaning, you'll find distraction,” Curran said. “I think he definitely found meaning in George Villiers.”

Take a peek behind the scenes of that infamous Prince Andrew interview in Netflix's 'Scoop'
It was one of the biggest "gets" in news in the past five years when the BBC show Newsnight scored a sit-down interview with Prince Andrew to talk about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
How that interview happened is the premise behind the new Netflix movie Scoop, out Friday. The Man in the High Castle veteran Rufus Sewell plays the prince, and he tells ABC Audio as soon as he read the script, he knew he wanted in.
The actor explains, "The fact that something that we all think we know could be rendered in such a way as still a nailbiter, and the fact that it didn't claim any more knowledge about anyone's motivations than we know from watching the interview -- I had to say yes."
Sewell says he clearly remembers watching that interview on TV. "Like everyone else, I had my own judgments," he comments.
The actor continues, "But at the same time, you know, I think you develop a habit of mind of trying to work out why he was behaving the way he was, what his version of the events were, did he somehow see himself as a victim of this as well as other things, because it seemed to me that he did. And that was what was so fascinating."
Gillian Anderson plays Emily Maitlis, the journalist who conducted the interview, and she explains the bombshell sit-down with the prince was shot on her first day on set. "[You] can't really change it up too much," she explains of the interview itself, adding, "But there were certain incremental things that you can do to ... you know, make it a little bit more tense." She concluded, "All of that was fun. It was like theater."
