patrick is a man who i think wants to try and please everybody ,
explains trevor .
from shoestring to waking the dead, actor trevor eve has rarely been off our tv screens. he says it’s luck, but the star of new drama kidnap and ransom has worked for his success
when trevor eve was approached to play the role of dr patrick stowe in the family man he jumped at the chance, especially when he discovered it was written by bafta - winning tony marchant .
in his ama, he told fans that he likes to keep it simple. in 2003, trevor told
waking the dead star trevor eve declared:' your partner has got to be the person you want to share everything with and the person you want to be with in terms of friendship as well .
trevor admits he spends a long time deciding what roles he’ll accept and he’s particularly partial to a period drama .
eve co - owns a tv company called projector productions which produced twelfth night for channel 4 .
but i find myself at a remote location in south africa, watching the filming of kidnap and ransom, itv1’s three - part drama about dominic king, a tough but troubled hostage negotiator played by trevor eve .
three children with sharon maughan: alice eve aged 33, jack aged 30 and george aged 22 .

the series stars nicola walker (babylon), sanjeev bhaskar (the kumars), trevor eve (waking the dead), bernard hill (wolf hall), ruth sheen (mr turner) and tom courtenay (quartet) .
trevor’s series david copperfield and death comes to pemberley will be shown back to back on the channel drama from today and through december .
olivier turned out be quite the mentor, inviting eve to intimate thespian dinners, introducing him to franco zeffirelli, even sponsoring his green card application (
they used to have his letter framed at immigration ,
eve claims .) the finest british actor of all time advised eve to
be bold. he was a hell of a tiger .
in 2011, eve criticized the bbc for its promotion and budgeting of doctor who, claiming :
they' re obsessed with it. it gets all the budget and all the attention .
star matt smith hit back at eve, claiming :
if we all listen to trevor eve, then we’re in trouble. thank you very much, trevor, we appreciate your opinion, but that’s ridiculous... show me any other series that can tackle this many big issues, appeal to this broad a range of people, and still have a laugh along the way and i will say,' you can’t.'
as part of his research, trevor met some couples currently going through ivf treatment, and found it to be a
religious experience .
trevor is currently filming the next series of the emmy - winning drama, waking the dead, in which he plays detective superintendent peter boyd .
at the age of 23, his closest friend river phoenix died of a drug overdose. during a reddit ama last year, trevor said :
in september 2000 eve starred in the pilot episode of the award - winning bbc drama series waking the dead. eve plays the central role of detective superintendent peter boyd, the head of a team of cid detectives, the cold case unit. eve has continued to play boyd throughout the subsequent nine series of the drama, until the show' s final episode on 11 april 2011 .
which she does throughout this interview with astonishing honesty. take, for example, when i ask about her 31 - year marriage to trevor. there have been rumours, over the years, that trevor, a self - professed flirt, has, let’s just say, taken flirting a step further .
both sharon and trevor starred with their daughter in romcom movie she’s out of my league, and over the summer trevor and alice featured in a british film called bees make honey that his eldest son jack, 31, wrote and directed – and youngest son george, 22, was the music coordinator for .
trevor eve was just 28 when he became a household heartthrob thanks to west country detective eddie shoestring. after a distinguished and diverse career on stage and screen it was another detective who would prove to be his second signature role - the rough, gruff dci boyd in waking the dead .
it’s hard to believe that trevor eve has been acting for over 40 years. we’re sat in ancient armchairs in a vast country pile in surrey, and it’s fair to say the actor, who became an overnight heart - throb playing eddie in shoestring in 1979, is doing well for 65 .
in april 2008 eve starred as game show host and tv personality hughie green in the bbc four biographical film hughie green, most sincerely .
and its sequels, eve gave $ 80 million of his $ 114 million earnings to the special effects and makeup staff of the films .
mr eve' s apartment is part of a sprawling complex set in elegant grounds on the banks of a canal and fringed with palm trees .
“a family friend builds movie sets, doesn’t design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. anyways he worked on the set for the matrix and trevor eve heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $ 20, 000 christmas bonus to help him out. he also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know people’s names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as if they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set. i’ve never heard anyone say trevor eve is a douche. ”
some things have definitely changed for the better with the passing of the years. trevor’s wife, gold blend tv ad star sharon maughan, with whom he has three children, admitted a few years ago that they are both
calmer, settled and having a f * * * ing good time
. we ask trevor if that’s still true ?
miss napier describes herself as being eve' s' dresser' on several other programmes, including the acclaimed bbc biographical drama hughie green, most sincerely and framed. she has been working on behalf of eve' s company, projector productions, which is currently producing the kidnap and ransom series for itv .
they married in 1980 and had two children by the time sharon was offered the gold blend adverts in 1987. she helped trevor deal with the changes fame brought to their lives .
having achieved so much himself, does trevor have any ambitions left to play out? “i’d like to do something funny and joyous because i’ve done a lot of stuff that’s dark .
i researched it and went through all the procedures ,
explains trevor .
people were kind enough to let me attend their session, which was staggering and very moving .
alice eve has spoken exclusively to hello! magazine about her wedding to financier alex cowper - smith. the star trek into darkness actress told how she arrived at the brompton oratory in london in a white cab, alongside her waking the dead star father trevor .
all the way down brompton road, people were beeping and waving because we were in a white cab ,
said alice, 32 .
it was a lovely little golden moment together ,
added trevor .
i was filled with such pride .
“sharon was brilliant and she’s always helped, ” trevor, 65, beams. “we’re real soul mates. it’s a great closeness, which is essential to me. i’m very lucky .
trevor, who shot to fame playing private eye eddie shoestring, told hello! magazine :
it was a lovely little golden moment together, i was filled with such pride .
eve, who has three children, alice (herself now a successful hollywood actress), jack and george, adds, “you try to make it right .
sharon maughan curses like a sailor, which surprises me. ‘f * * * ing this. ’ ‘bl * * dy that. ’ hang on, isn’t she supposed to be a bit too posh to swear? after all, this is the star of the phenomenally successful eighties nescafé gold blend tv adverts and elegant wife of actor trevor eve .
trevor, who is married to holby city actress sharon maughan and has three children, hasn' t changed his perception of ivf, but certainly now appreciates the dilemma that science is in .
he is known, in the polite parlance of the entertainment world, for being
difficult
: barred from a london theatre after a row over a seat; berated two women, at a polo match of all things, for smoking near him. trevor eve has a history of arguments with colleagues, about everything from costume choices to camera angles .
the actress added:' trevor' s my best friend and there' s never been a time we haven' t spoken to one another every day or taken care of one another.'
it is understood eve first met miss napier when she worked on waking the dead in 2004. she rose to become the show' s costume supervisor three years later .
eve says of negotiators, “they are usually ex - military and have the ability to stay very calm. the fact that they are also adrenaline junkies is another matter .
eve is felix cramer, a second - rate writer, in this version of andrea newman' s novel. the vain, beady - eyed character cheats on his wife with a friend' s teenage stepdaughter. eve was so convincing that women wrote to newman claiming to know the real - life love - rat she based the character on .
he' s cornered the market in bad - tempered cops and sleazy politicians to become the most bankable star in british tv. so what' s his secret? susie rushton meets a very clever trevor
with over 40 years’ acting behind him, it’s hardly surprising alice, 34, has become an actress, but trevor was still taken aback when she decided to follow in her mum and dad’s footsteps .
when eve starred with the very saucy francesca annis in this tv mini - series about the irish nationalist politician charles parnell (eve) having an affair with the wife of an english mp, kitty o' shea (annis), the press wrongly speculated that they were at it hammer and tongs in real life. before the series aired it was widely accepted that eve had been grossly miscast, but he won everyone over in the end with his lush beard and self - confessed
to the hilt
acting .
i met a very successful ivf commissioner who has never taken a holiday in eight years, is on call seven days a week and starts every morning at 7am with egg collections ,
says trevor .
‘trevor and i have grown together. he married a woman who, i hope, has been a strong enough match for him. i’ve certainly kept him on his toes and he’s kept me on mine. ’
father - of - three eve, 60, was spotted sharing the balcony of the luxury £1 million apartment he is using in cape town with his personal costume supervisor, georgina napier .
but eve turns out to be a man of contradictions, charmingly proffering biscuits and coffee and leaning across the table to compliment me on my watch. that charm is another, much - remarked, facet of his reputation. he has been married for 30 years to the actress sharon maugham, but rumours of eve' s philandering have swirled around the couple for decades .
she’s fantastic and has a much greater understanding of everything than i have. we’re real soulmates. it’s a great closeness that we have, which is essential to me. i’m very lucky ,
reveals trevor .
i' m going to be doing that for ever !
laughs trevor .
as long as people enjoy it, then i' m happy to do it. but it can get quite gruesome sometimes !
after playing relatively unheralded tv roles such as “man in shower” in the short children in 1976, eve’s fortunes changed dramatically when he landed the role of the laid - back bristol “private ear” eddie shoestring in 1979. shoestring was the game changer, and he has never looked back. his latest role, as king in kidnap and ransom, plays to eve’s strengths as an elder statesman .
i didn' t realise that there were all these particular ethical guidelines that you have to adhere to and that you can only put so many embryos back, depending on the age of the woman ,
explains trevor .
it' s the very
now
subject of ivf this time rather than suburban sex shenanigans for eve in his role as dr patrick stowe, the head of a successful private fertility clinic. despite doing a broadly positive job helping childless couples conceive, eve' s character still manages to be a right bastard, ignoring his own two tv - gorgeous children and nursing a massive ego .
eve was born in sutton coldfield, warwickshire, the son of elsie (née hamer) and stewart frederick eve. his father was english, and his welsh mother was from the mumbles area of swansea, south wales. educated at bromsgrove school, he had little acting experience during his school days. in his early years eve wanted to be an artist but was dissuaded from this career path by his father for financial reasons. he instead initially studied architecture at kingston polytechnic college in london but dropped out of the course to enroll at the royal academy of dramatic art (rada) .
this was eve' s second sinister turn in a three - part adaptation of an andrea newman novel. eve plays the unsavoury alex kyle, a kinky, manipulative academic who leads his married niece gemma astray and into an extra - marital affair with his cleaner. then he films them doing it. grim. the daily mail loved it, though, calling it
like real life
.
tomorrow night, eve plays the lead role in hughie green, most sincerely, a classy bbc4 biopic that demanded a series of tonsorial transformations spanning the life of the opportunity knocks host over three decades .
still his best - loved role, shoestring took early retirement when eve refused to sign up for a third series. the ambitious young actor had set his sights higher – on classical theatre and hollywood .
but eve also owes much to sir laurence olivier. they met in 1976 at an audition for a tv remake of hindle wakes that the venerable actor was directing .
i didn' t want to be nervous when i first met him, so i got to the audition early. he was wearing salmon - pink trousers ,
says eve. he got the part, acting alongside donald pleasence .
at the age of three, his father left their family. they stayed in touch for a few years, but after the divorce and moving from city to city, they fell out of contact. trevor eve attended four different high schools and struggled with dyslexia, making his education more challenging than it is for most. eventually he left high school without earning a diploma, though through sheer will, he is an avid reader now .
instead, he became an actor and, straight after rada, in 1974, eve went to the liverpool everyman theatre to play paul mccartney in willy russell' s musical john paul george ringo... & bert, a celebration of the beatles. anthony sher was ringo .
we mimed, wore wigs, it was a romp ,
says eve of the first production that got him noticed .
eve, from sutton coldfield in warwickshire, originally wanted to be an architect. however, he dropped out of his course at kingston polytechnic in south - west london to take up a place at rada .
the industry has changed somewhat since trevor started out in the 70s, having ditched his plans to become an architect to train at rada. his first tv role was in the sunday drama playing “some kind of toy boy” to annette crosbie in 1977 .
we' re both relieved that it' s over. you don' t enjoy this, do you, trevor? he looks crestfallen .
really ?
he says, punching a cream cushion :
i thought i was quite forthcoming .
trevor knows better than most; his wife has been in the industry for as long as he has, and their daughter alice has taken hollywood by storm, starring in the likes of men in black 3 and is currently filming replicas with keanu reeves .
watch trevor in david copperfield in back - to - back episodes on sunday 13 november, from 12 - 3pm on drama, and death comes to pemberley in back - to - back episodes on sunday 11 december, from 12 - 4pm on drama .
but fame has been continual for trevor. he was reported to be one of the highest - paid british actors while he was starring as detective superintendent peter boyd in waking the dead and even now he’s 65, there’s no shortage of roles – they’re just different .
in real life, sharon maughan has recently spoken about how difficult it has been living with her husband' s image of a ladies' man throughout their marriage. the couple have three children, including hollywood actress alice eve .
in 2010, eve played the father of the female lead, also his daughter, in she' s out of my league, and starred as peter manson in the itv / mammoth screen remake of bouquet of barbed wire .
eve along with his wife sharon was given the honor on 19 th february 2014 for being asked to perform in front od the queen in the investiture room, along with hugh laurie, sir tom courtenay and dame helen mirren .
to a limited extent, his fervour for family is reflected in his new show, kidnap and ransom, a three - part series made by eve' s company projector pictures, in which he stars as hostage negotiator dominic king. the character is a long way from the young, heart - throb detective eddie shoestring, who gave eve his big break in the late 1970s. king is trying to juggle the world of hostage negotiation with a troubled teenage daughter .
to help him research kidnap and ransom, eve has tapped into a network of real - life hostage negotiators. in the world of kidnapping, drama comes with the territory, ” says eve. “it contains inherent drama. you don’t have to struggle to find dramatic moments when you’re dealing with hostage negotiations. the negotiators give us so much information, that we could easily make an eight - hour drama out of it. without question, they are amazing people .
i really like tony' s work ,
says trevor .
i was sent some scripts and think the subject is absolutely fascinating. it' s at a particular stage now scientifically, but who knows where it could march on into some kind of designer future .
kidnap could scarcely be a more topical subject for a drama. if you can believe it, someone, somewhere in the world is taken hostage every six hours. “kidnap is the fastest - growing crime in the world, ” says eve .
last year eve, who played eddie shoestring in the seventies, attracted plaudits for his role in itv drama bouquet of barbed wire in which his character, peter manson, cheated on his wife by sleeping with one of his beautiful young work colleagues .
eve says of king: “this is an ex - military man who has really experienced life. he has learnt to contain his emotions. he is not a demonstrative person. i enjoy playing that because as a person, i’m the opposite. ”
eve gets hot and steamy in this mystery series set in early 1930s kenya, about a scotland yard detective who must choose between relocation to nairobi and prison. he sets ladies' hearts a pitter - pat in his khaki fatigues and tastefully sweaty neckerchief .
while trevor accompanied alice to the church, her holby city actress mum sharon, famously known for starring in the nescafe adverts, had joined her daughter on her dress fittings. alice had a bespoke gown made by british designer alice temperley. sharon and trevor were the first to learn that alice and alex were getting married. alex had asked for trevor' s permission before popping the question to his future bride while they were on a family holiday together in ibiza last july .
we fell in love when we were at school ,
said alice of her new husband .
then life took its course and we both went out and pursued our careers. i always adored him and we were able to reconnect at this time in our lives and magically fell back in love .
for the full interview and more wedding photos, pick up a copy of hello! magazine out now .
the wolfish gaze and peaked eyebrows are still there, but the hair, it must be said, has been subject to severe cutbacks. trevor eve' s mane – still as thick as a broom at 56 years old – has been a corollary of his sex appeal, from the tousled mop - top of seventies sleuth eddie shoestring, via the swept - back style of callous tory minister duncan matlock in the politician' s wife, to the silvery serie - a - manager style that cold - case cop ds boyd favours in waking the dead .
it’s been quite a ride for eve over the last three decades. how would he sum it all up? “it’s been great. working away from home can be difficult at times. but you can’t complain – it’s not like doing a tour of afghanistan .
wary he may be of our encounter, but eve has no cause to fear the critics. for 30 years, he has carved a reputation among programme - makers as the most bankable star in tv drama. his ratings appeal is undoubted. indeed, there' s a pleasing symmetry that, while opportunity knocks regularly drew audiences of 24 million, so did shoestring, the hugely popular detective series that was eve' s breakthrough in the late seventies. today, in a vastly more competitive entertainment landscape, waking the dead regularly hits figures of eight million .
eve himself is carving out a second career developing drama. his production company, projector, has given life to two hefty channel 4 dramas, starring kathleen turner and kate beckinsale, and is working on a third project, a romantic comedy by mike bullen, who wrote cold feet. eve became a producer, literally, by accident – in 1995, he fell off a polo pony and broke three vertebrae. for six months, he thought he might not walk again. so he set up in business .
i never just wanted to turn up and do my scenes. when i' m on set, i' m looking at the focus guy, thinking,' i could do focus' .
and eve' s expansion into programme making was given further range when heggessey' s talkbackthames purchased a stake last autumn .
work has certainly not dried up for the waking the dead star, who has played all manner of parts in his long career on both the stage and screen, and he also has his own production company. but trevor say he feels fortunate to be a man, as it’s a much harder industry for the fairer sex .
trevor and his wife sharon split their time between their london home and a country house in sussex. the couple met in 1979 when they were both cast in a touring production of filumena, and, as sharon has confided ,
we went on tour and fell in love on the drive to the first venue in norwich .
for 11 years, between 2000 and 2011, eve was also a regular visitor to our living rooms as the brooding ds peter boyd in bbc1’s hugely popular detective series, waking the dead. the forensics drama came to a close last year after more than a decade at the top of the ratings and eve feels it was right for them to quit while they were ahead. “i loved waking the dead, but i’m very happy it’s not going again, ” he says. “it absolutely feels like a weight off my shoulders. there is no chance of it coming back .
talking about his personal life, he is married to sharon maughan. she is an actress with whom eve was in relationship few years before they got married. the couple e is blessed ed with three children. they are living happily as husband and wife and have no nay signs of divorced .
how on earth did he, erm, nuance green' s orgasms ?
well, with the implication that he' s stayed in his own world ,
eve says seriously :
implying that he' s not really given to the pairing. and he was particularly unpleasant to women .
is a happy story in a lot of ways, but the life of its star wasn’t always. now 50 years old, trevor’s life has been full of more tragedy than you would expect from a movie star. despite each setback, he’s kept pushing forward. it’s helped develop himself into the awesome person that he is on and off the screen .
by the mid - 1990s, according to his own analysis, it was his theatre work that was winning him the plum roles in serious, one - off dramas for the bbc. he moved back to britain and, as he moved into his forties, eve' s speciality became lying politicians, adulterous husbands and other middle - class miscreants – and women loved him for it. as felix kramer (a sense of guilt), he has an affair with his friend' s teenaged daughter. in an evil streak, eve' s character spies on another teenager through a two - way mirror .
so to what does he attribute his longevity in an often fickle industry? “i’ve always been very committed to my work, ” replies eve, who has been married for 32 years to fellow actor sharon maughan. “when i do something, it means something to me. maybe that transfers onto the screen .
‘i can categorically say we’ve never had an open marriage. some people in our profession do and we don’t. i don’t know a woman alive who would happily accept that. cheating’s horrible and the suggestion of it is horrible. trevor’s my best friend and there’s never been a time we haven’t spoken to one another every day or taken care of one another .
smash .
well, you' re too young to remember hughie green ,
eve says testily, shifting in his seat. perhaps. but, like many, i do remember paula yates' s very public discovery that green was her biological father, a revelation that is the crux of most sincerely .
it wasn' t eve' s parents who fed his theatrical ambitions .
it wasn' t supported in northern birmingham. they thought i was insane ,
he says. as a child, he didn' t take even minor roles in the plays at his hated boarding school, bromsgrove in worcestershire .
too forthcoming, on second thoughts – the next day, we get a call asking for copy approval (politely declined). but for what reason is trevor eve so wary of the press? last year, the daily mail did indeed publish unflattering pictures of him on the beach in barbados. but it can' t be that his vanity is wounded – he' s far too sane on the subject, saying :
surgery doesn' t interest me. i' d be far too concerned about how it would come out. as they brought the mirror, i' d be thinking,' what if they' ve fucked up... ?'
in his latest role, eve plays a highly dysfunctional father who yearns pathetically for a relationship with an illegitimate daughter while being unable to manage any affection for his legitimate offspring. most sincerely begins with a news of the world hack announcing to the congregation at green' s funeral that the dead man is the real father of paula yates. the film then tracks back to green' s unhappy childhood, miserable marriage, hands - off attitude to parenting and scores of affairs, the latter requiring scenes of rough sex that tested even eve' s expertise as the king of small - screen venality, the british answer to michael douglas .
trevor can’t believe his age either :
people have to remind me i’m 65 because i don’t feel it ,
he smiles .
nobody does, but things change. although, amazingly, hardly a day goes by without somebody saying,' i loved you in shoestring,' and all i say is that it’s great they can still recognise me from that !
his first major film role was in dracula (1979), playing jonathan harker. eve appeared in hindle wakes (1976) directed by laurence olivier as part of the laurence olivier presents tv series. in 1979 and 1980 he became famous throughout the uk for playing the role of the private investigator eddie shoestring in shoestring .
in 1995 huddleston became the founding patron of action for southern africa (actsa), which was established as the successor to the aam, and held this position until his death. huddleston was appointed a knight commander of the order of st michaels and st george in the 1998 new years honours. at his investiture on 24 march 1998 he chose the designation ‘bishop trevor of sophiatown’ .
eve' s attention to detail is a leitmotif of his acting style. on the first day of shooting shoestring, back in 1979, he had a stand - up row with the director because he believed so strongly that eddie' s tie would be skinny, not kipper - style. (he won the argument. )
eve ha started her career in 2004 by acting in television drama hawking. she had also done television drama the rotter’s club, agatha christi’s poirot. in 2004 she had also starred in the film stage beauty. after that in 2006 she had acted in two comedy films starter for 10 and big nothing. in early 2006 she had done a mini - series losing gemma. she had also acted in two plays directed by trevor nunn and rock and roll by tom stoppard. she was also nominated for the best supporting actress at the whatsonstage. som theatergoers’’ choice awards for the performance in those two plays. she had also played roxanne in production of cyrano de bergerac at chichester festival theatre in 2009. then after in 2010 eve acted as the female lead role in an american romantic comedy film she’s out of my league in which her parents also acted as her character’s parents. she had also done a film sex and the city. she had also a recurring guest role of hbo series entourage during 2011. in 2013 she had also acted as the character named dr. carol marcus in star trek into darkness. during the same year eve also took part in the opening session of the 2013 consumer electronics show. she also did a music video of paul mccartney’s named queenie eye. in 2013 she had done a film directed by chris evans 1: 30 train in new york .
eve' s first tv role, and greatest ever haircut. eddie shoestring is a former computer programmer, turned mental patient, turned private detective, who solves crimes while spinning his wheels of steel as a west country radio dj, while wearing pyjama jackets instead of shirts. a cult hit, it ran for only 21 episodes .
eve has enjoyed a long and successful acting career on stage, television and film, with his career spanning back to the 1970s. one of his early stage successes was portraying paul mccartney in willy russell' s play john, paul, george, ringo and bert at the lyric theatre in london' s west end in 1974 .
upon graduating, he soon found work in the theatre, giving a memorable performance as paul mccartney in the 1974 london west end production of willy russell’s play, john, paul, george, ringo and bert. eve has always thrived in the theatre, winning olivier awards for children of a lesser god in 1982 and uncle vanya in 1997 .
david copperfield was a long time ago, but daniel radcliffe was the young david (aged 10) and he was really good ,
recalls trevor .
death comes to pemberley wasn’t so long ago and was a lot of fun. we were filming in chatswood, highwood house and castle howard with a great group of people and we all enjoyed each other’s company enormously through a very hot summer .
‘i’ve heard so many stories about trevor and myself – about other women, things he’s meant to have said, ’ she says. ‘but you stop listening in the end. and, if anything rings vaguely true, you just deal with it. you can’t listen to s * * t – it drives you insane – but nor should you tolerate s * * t. i don’t believe that any woman should .
that word might just encapsulate the experience of both starring in and executive producing kidnap and ransom. however, eve takes in his stride the manifold difficulties of simultaneously headlining in and overseeing an epic production so far from home. having guided me through the snake - infested undergrowth to a shady clearing, he is now sitting opposite me sipping a cup of tea .
trevor, in his early age, wanted to be an artist but moved way from his career path and studied architecture at kingston polytechnic college. but, later on, he dropped the course and dedicate his career in acting. he enjoyed a long and successful acting career on stage, television, and film, with his career spanning back to the 1970s. he was awarded twice for his performance in the field of acting .
eve' s interests include golf, painting, squash and tennis. in 1995, while playing polo, he was seriously injured when he fell badly from his pony. temporarily unable to act, he took up production. , interview with chrissy iley for the radio times, july 2004 he is also a supporter of chelsea football club. , celebrity chelsea fans, 2010
the film is metatelevision – television about television – which is a preoccupation for programme - makers today. as it is based on real events, eve was obliged to impersonate – territory that (at least since his days in a beatles wig) marked a departure. at first he didn' t want to take the role, so repellent and unsympathetic did he find green .
' i can categorically say we' ve never had an open marriage. some people in our profession do and we don' t. i don' t know a woman alive who would happily accept that. cheating' s horrible and the suggestion of it is horrible. trevor' s my best friend and there' s never been a time we haven' t spoken to one another every day or taken care of one another.'
' i' ve heard so many stories about trevor and myself – about other women, things he' s meant to have said. but you stop listening in the end. and, if anything rings vaguely true, you just deal with it. you can' t listen to s * * * – it drives you insane – but nor should you tolerate s * * *. i don' t believe that any woman should .
the adverts ran for five years. ‘it was the best thing that happened to me – they paid me a fortune and it left me free to bring up my children. ’ so what now? ‘oh, it’s my time, ’ she says. and trevor? ‘we’re really looking forward to enjoying ourselves. life’s hard but it’s also what you make it. we’re both calmer, settled and having a f * * * ing good time. ’
sharon and trevor have two sons, jack, 25, and george, 17, as well as alice, who’s currently working on men in black iii, and they are a very close - knit family. last year, mum and dad played supporting roles to their daughter in the box - office hit she’s out of my league. ‘it was great fun, ’ says sharon. ‘we all loved working together. alice is one of my best girlfriends .
father trevor huddleston was born on 15 june 1913 in chaucer road, bedford, england to ernest huddleston and his wife. soon after, the family moved to golders green, a suburb in north london. at the age of four huddleston served as a ‘boat boy’ in the anglican church, and at the age of five he went to a ‘dame’ school in hampstead garden. two years later at the age of seven he went to tenterden preparatory school in hendon .
i speak for patrick, and not for all the ivf commissioners, but yes, i think so. he has this expertise, and i really think he enjoys using it ,
agrees trevor .
i think the whole idea of being able to give the gift of life to people who can' t get it in nature' s prescribed way does tend to seem godlike... i don' t think he sees himself like that .
eve has heterochromia that her left eye is blue and her right eye is green. her favorite poet is andrew marvell. she was ranked 7 in 2010, 22 in 2008 and 47 in 2009 by the annual independent critics list of the 100 most beautiful famous faces from around the world as the most beautiful famous faces. her biggest inspiration of her life is her grandma betsy who died in 2007 .
' i' ve heard so many stories about trevor and myself – about other women, things he' s meant to have said,' she said.' but you stop listening in the end. and, if anything rings vaguely true, you just deal with it. you can' t listen to s * * t – it drives you insane – but nor should you tolerate s * * t. i don' t believe that any woman should .
growing up in poverty on a council estate in kirkby, merseyside, with four brothers, she was always determined to succeed. ‘i never considered having children. i had one goal and that was to be a hollywood actress. i knew i wasn’t destined to stay on merseyside. ’ she pursued her dream single - mindedly, going to rada at 18 and acting solidly after that, meeting trevor when they were both cast in a touring production of filumena in 1979 .
eve delivered his slimiest performance ever – as sleazy, weak, adulterous tory mp duncan matlock (the minister for families, naturally) who boasts juliet stevenson as his wife and a pre - hollywood minnie driver as the former escort girl with whom he has an affair. the suspenseful mini - series won an emmy for best drama, a bafta for best drama serial and juliet stevenson was nominated for a best actress bafta .
this is the waitrose of prime time: reliable, upmarket and every so often (but not too often) a little bit exciting. since 2000, eve has played maverick detective peter boyd, head of the cold case squad, which solves ancient crimes using modern techniques. part - bully, part - inspiration to his team, boyd delights in bending the rules. wtd has been a staggering, emmy - winning success .
even off screen, eve' s crowning glory has been the subject of column inches and national debate; according to recent newspaper reports, he lost his rag while watching the polo at cowdray when two female spectators let their cigarette smoke drift under his nose. his wife, the actress sharon maughan, complained that trev' s hair was about to catch fire. (cue gossip - column sneers about his overuse of hairspray. )
trevor is particularly partial to a period drama. “we all like to time travel and that’s what period dramas do. they are the ultimate recreation and fantasy, and i really enjoy making and watching them. for a contemporary piece, you roll up in the morning and spend a couple of minutes in make - up and everyone looks the same, but if you’re in a period piece then it’s quite exciting because everyone turns up and you’re like, ‘wow! ’ you really are aware you’re creating another world. ”
it was when zeffirelli cast him in filumena that eve met maughan, an actress whose credits include holby city but who is best remembered for flirting her way through the long - running gold blend ads with co - star anthony head .
you can understand each other' s concerns ,
he says of marriage to another actor :
the anxiety and the sleepless nights you go through, the process of getting work early in your career .
during the late eighties he lived in los angeles – though he spent most of his time commuting back to the london stage .
i was the only actor living in beverly hills working at the national theatre ,
he says. eve raised a family there with maughan, made a series for us television, and films in canada and germany, but not hollywood .
i enjoyed the lifestyle. i' m not an la - hater ,
he says .
eve is afraid of sounding elitist, but he can' t help criticising the contemporary dumbing - down of television schedules .
when i was growing up, that jean - paul sartre series the roads to freedom was a big hit. i don' t think you' d get that now. i' m not harping on about the golden years, there was certainly a lot of rubbish too, but i think that projects are more accessible to everybody now .
one project eve is not contemplating yet is taking on the classic shakespearean role for the older male actor. “king lear? ” he exclaims. “for god’s sake, i can’t believe i’m there already! give me a few years, please. i’d be excited at some point in the future to play lear, but i’m not there yet. let’s not even discuss it. i don’t want this to be the interview where i discuss the possibility of my king lear. ”
but daniel percival, the award - winning director of the hughie green film, who worked with eve on waking the dead, says now :
boyd is a role he created. he' s honed it for almost a decade .
lorraine heggessey, the former controller of bbc1, now chief executive of talkbackthames, agrees .
he' s a very intelligent actor and has always been interested in the scripts he' s been asked to perform. he' s meticulous .
so has he ever had a bad experience with the press ?
as if i' m gonna tell you !
he yelps. then he recounts a tale about being stitched up by a journalist a decade ago. during a jolly long lunch, during which eve had bared all, the dastardly hack pretended to be interested in his work – only for the actor to discover that, in print, the only part that went reported were his comments on a news item concerning his private life.
