Josh’s ears give a stand- out show for his latest fans
SOME famous faces are able to go about their normal lives more or less undetected by the public, but Josh O’Connor is almost instantly recognised — by his ears.
They helped win him a role as Prince Charles in Netflix hit The Crown, but they mean that he does rather stand out from the throng.
Here, he can be seen surrounded by fans asking for selfies as he went for a leisurely cycle ride in the sunshine in Whitehall, Central London.
O’Connor, 32, who also starred as Larry in The Durrells, admits that his most prominent features did give him a career boost.
‘When I was at school, I was embarrassed by them and I wanted to pin them back, and now it’s,
like, “Thank God I didn’t!”’ he confesses.
The actor — who is going out with Margot HauerKing, 28, daughter of celebrated restaurateur Jeremy King — has said that he finds fame ‘overwhelming’.
