Rising British actor Matthew Broome, the star of Apple TV’s “The Buccaneers” and the “My Fault: London” franchise on Prime Video, doesn’t know where his next job is coming from but says, “I would love to audition” for the next James Bond movie.
Broome will receive the International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Tuesday. “This is my first award ever in my career and it’s unbelievable to me that there are people out there recognizing me for my work,” he says, beaming.
Speaking ahead of the awards ceremony, he adds: “It shows that I’m going in the direction that I want to and it’s going to hopefully open more doors for me and for my career in the future. It’s truly an honor.”
“Your Fault: London,” the second film in the popular franchise, drops this week and continues the turbulent romantic saga of American teenager Noah (Asha Banks) and her “bad boy” stepbrother Nick (Broome). Did the success of the first installment take him by surprise? “Yes, because with streamers there’s so much that gets made now and things can get lost in the ether.”
The trilogy, whose final installment “Our Fault: London” in in post, is based on the hugely successful Spanish-language versions that preceded it, which in turn were drawn from Mercedes Ron’s YA novels. “So, we already had a fan base,” Matthew says. “I wasn’t too familiar with the success of the films and the books, but when Asha was explaining it to me it started to really sink in and I was like ‘We’re not sending it out into nothing’.
