The Welsh actor speaks to RadioTimes.com about his new divorce drama, his upcoming projects and the cancelled Beauty and the Beast prequel.

Luke Evans has accomplished many things in his career – from starring in major blockbuster franchises like Fast & Furious to releasing two albums as a musician – but his new film marks a first for the Welsh actor.

When production began on Our Son, which is now available to own and rent on digital platforms, it was the first time Evans – who is gay – had played an LGBTQ+ character on screen.

The film tells the story of Nicky (Evans) and Gabriel (Billy Porter), a married couple whose collapsing relationship ultimately leads to messy divorce proceedings and a fight for custody over their son, Owen (Christopher Woodley).

For Evans, it was the chance to explore a common experience from a fresh perspective that enticed him to the project.

“It’s a story that we’re so used to seeing in huge Hollywood movies, but from the straight point of view,” he tells RadioTimes.com during an exclusive interview.
