A popular ITV star has revealed that his latest role left him needing therapy.
Daniel Mays portrays John Worboys in the upcoming TV drama Believe Me. The black cab rapist was convicted in 2009 for sexual assaults on 12 women in London in the back of his Hackney carriage.
Discussing his latest role on Lorraine on Thursday (7 May), the actor revealed that he “underestimated how much this psychologically affected me” and opted to receive the on-set therapy after initially turning it down.
“I’m being asked to humanise a monster,” he said. “You have a responsibility to play them as three-dimensionally as you can.”
