MATTHEW GOODE

Admired British actor, he has a long list of successful films in which he has appeared including Match Point, Imagine Me & You, My Family and Other Animals, Copying Beethoven, The Lookout, Brideshead Revisited, Watchmen, A Single Man, Leap Year, Stoker and The Imitation Game.

Was a member of the cast of the popular Downton Abbey series and played Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Princess Margaret’s husband, in The Crown.

Says his best golfing moment was partnering Danny Willett in the 2010 Championship and playing with Martin Kaymer, the eventual winner, in the final group.

This is the eighth time he has played. Says he once hit the ball straight right at the 18th and it bounced on the road and onto a building before ricocheting on to the green.

Freud’s Last Session

An extract from ‘Vents Magazine’

Why Is There So Much Excitement About Freud’s Last Session?

Known for working with Hollywood royalty such as Jeremy Irons and Stephen Fry, Director Matt Brown shouldn’t be too daunted to work with Anthony Hopkins, whose life’s work encompasses many of the movie world’s most treasured motion pictures.

However, the hype surrounding Freud’s Last Session is not only down to its incredible leading man and talented director, but also its promise as a likely Oscars contender. Variety wasted no time in reporting that the movie is one to watch as the Academy Awards season draws closer.

Meanwhile, Deadline revealed that Sony Classics has already purchased distribution rights for the feature, which will also star The Crown actor and Emmy nominee Matthew Goode, who is set to take on the role of Lewis, providing just the kind of mighty co-presence that a revered actor like Hopkins requires!
