Andrew Lincoln has acknowledged that despite being pleased that fans still enjoy seeing him disrobe on screen at 50, his teenage children are not as thrilled about his bold career choices. The Walking Dead star, famous for portraying Rick Grimes in the popular zombie series, has taken on a role in the new ITV thriller Coldwater. This marks his return to British television after 15 years, but a particular scene in the show has left some of his family members shocked.
In the series, Lincoln’s character is depicted masturbating on screen, prompting him to have a conversation with his children beforehand, which did not go as planned. Lincoln shared an anecdote where he asked his son Arthur about his thoughts on his on-screen actions, to which Arthur responded with disbelief. Despite the mixed reactions from his kids, Lincoln expressed his excitement for being offered such a daring role at his age.
While his children may not be impressed, Lincoln mentioned that his wife Gael has supported his performance. In Coldwater, Lincoln portrays John, a middle-aged Londoner dealing with internal struggles as a stay-at-home dad. The narrative unfolds as a confrontation at a playground leads John to reevaluate his life, prompting a move to the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater with hopes of a fresh beginning.
The series also features notable actors like Ewen Bremner, Indira Varma, and Eve Myles in key roles, adding depth to the storyline. David Ireland, the writer and creator, shared his inspiration for the series and expressed his gratitude for the cast and network’s support. Coldwater promises a dark, twisted thriller that will captivate viewers with its intriguing storyline and talented ensemble.
