Riding for a fall, Jack?
The Gold star checks phone as he cycles without helmet
HE routinely threw caution to the wind as eager MI5 agent River Cartwright in Slow Horses.
And it seems Jack Lowden may share his character’s disregard for danger.
The actor was pictured without a helmet and using his phone while cycling in north London.
Lowden, 32, also plays murderous money launderer Kenneth Noye, pictured, in The Gold – a new drama about the 1980s Brink’s-Mat robbery.
Dressed in a fluffy brown coat, the actor eschewed a helmet in favour of headphones and a woolly hat.
Cyclists are not legally required to wear a helmet and there is no legislation banning them from using a phone. The Scottish actor was also spotted without a helmet last year in east London while cycling with actress girlfriend Saoirse Ronan, 28.
The pair, who recently bought a £2.5million three-bedroom house in north London, were meeting Lowden’s balletdancer brother Calum and a friend at a bar.
BBC1’s The Gold tells the story of the aftermath of the biggest armed heist in British history – the robbery of gold bullion worth £26million. The series also stars Hugh Bonneville and Dominic Cooper.
