Josh O Connor, who has won widespread acclaim for his portrayal of the Prince of Wales in The Crown, said there was a special beauty about the love scenes in his new film, Mothering Sunday, because they were shot during the pandemic, at a time when simply touching another person felt illicit.
The actor, who has just been nominated for an Emmy award for his Charles, appears alongside Odessa Young (a blazing new screen artist) in Mothering Sunday.
In the picture, set six years after the Great War, he plays Paul Sheringham, a young man racked with survivor s guilt and the trauma of losing siblings and friends on the battlefield.
