Article: Mad Dog John’s a big hit in Exile
March 31st, 2011 | filed in: Articles and Press, John News

Mad Dogs star John Simm is shown hitting his WIFE in the face in a new drama.

His actress missus Kate Magowan landed the part of his lover – who gets thumped in the opening scenes of thriller Exile.

John, 40, plays womanising, cocaine-snorting lads’ mag journalist Tom Ronstadt, who is having an affair with his editor’s wife.

The actor admits the scene where he acted out attacking her was “difficult” to film.

Speaking of his character, he said: “Tom immediately regrets it. It’s a terrible thing to do.”

John also has violent scenes with his screen father (Jim Broadbent) in the three-part tale by Shameless creator Paul Abbott.

It opens with him returning to his northern home town from London to find out the truth behind his father beating him up.

John said: “I grew up in a town near where we filmed. It was quite a similar situation. I left when I was 16.

“I’ve had difficult relationships with my father. The returning, being uncomfortable – I can relate to that.”

John starred in Sky1 drama Mad Dogs earlier this year.

Exile will be screened on BBC1 at the end of April.
