Did Downton’s Dan Stevens provide ‘personal services?

Dan Stevens (aka Matthew Crawley on Downton Abbey) was on Breakfast TV recently to promote his new movie The Guest in which he plays an American soldier.

Host Susanna Reid sent Stevens into a fit of giggles when she asked a question that suggested it took more than a simple audition to get the role. She asked the star if he had to “beat off a lot of American men to get this part?”

To make matters funnier the hapless interviewer still didn’t get her faux pas … and incidentally the very good-looking Stevens didn’t actually give a direct answer!
