Other possibilities…
The 36-year-old has confirmed he won’t be ruling out another period drama if the opportunity arises. However, he’d like to try something new. Speaking to the Radio Times, the actor said, “It’s sort of my duty, I suppose, to break that mould now and move on to something different”. We’d love to see him in more period dramas. However, we’re definitely excited to see what other roles he can conquer.
Roles Aidan isn’t chasing…
Despite being open-minded, Aidan’s not keen on the idea of playing a Marvel superhero due to the fact there’s “too much makeup involved”. It might be a pity, because those films are doing increasingly well at the box office, with 2019 hits like Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame raking in millions across the globe. Never say never Aidan…
More on Aidan Turner…
Aidan’s role as popular Captain Ross Poldark was adapted from a series of historical novels by Winston Graham. The series has been a hit amongst fans, and has certainly helped to elevate his career.
Before playing Poldark, the actor starred in box office fantasy film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and British comedy drama Being Human. His first-ever TV role was in The Tudors, where he played Bedoli. He was only on-screen for 52 seconds though, so blink and you’ll miss him!

Filming for the fifth and final season of Poldark officially wrapped up earlier this year. On the last day on set, Aidan’s co-star Eleanor Tomlinson (who stars as Demelza Poldark) took to Instagram to share this sweet snap.
In her caption, the actress wrote, “Life is precious and should not be scorned. The thing is to find some purpose, to go on living.” Goodbye Poldark. Thank you to the incredible cast and crew that have made this series over the last 5 years. What a family we are ♥️ #poldark #theend #friends.”
