Felt isolated towards ‘Bodyguard’ end: Madden
"Bodyguard" star Richard Madden said playing the role of a war veteran with post traumatic stress disorder in the hit BBC series took a toll on him. The 32-year-old portrayed David Budd who is assigned to protect controversial politician-home secretary Right Honourable Julia Montague MP (Keeley Hawes), dealing with PTSD at the same time. Madden said there was a point when he thought he needed to "stop doing this" for a while. "I'm not a method actor in any way, but you get a huge hangover from this. At the end of this, I felt very isolated and broken, much like the character was," he said. The actor, who shot to global fame with "Game of Thrones", said he spoke to some soldiers to research for the role, adding it was "tough" to get them to open up."
