Aidan Turner admits it ‘would be embarrassing if Poldark bombed’

Aidan Turner has admitted that if his show Poldark bombed it would be embarrassing.

The actor plays the title character on the hit BBC show with it’s second season about to air.

“[The show is] quite rare, and ballsy too. I don’t feel any pressure but it would be a bit embarrassing if it bombed,” he said.

The Dubliner revealed that he doesn’t follow the ratings of the show but hopes for the best.

“I don’t personally follow it and I’m not that interested, to be honest,” he told the Irish Times.

“[You] do what you do and hope for the best.”

Aidan continued that when he started out in Poldark he had taken on too many jobs but this time around will be different

“I thought that was a great idea – but by the time Poldark started I was finished,” he also revealed.

“I almost couldn’t work any more. I was dropping lines – and suffering. So this year I wanted it to be different.”

Poldark is back on the BBC from September 4th.
