variety.comMichaela Zee “The Crown” felt like a burden to Josh O’Connor after starring in the third and fourth season of Netflix’s historical drama series.
In a recent interview with GQ, the actor described the recognition he received following his two-season stint as a young Prince Charles. “It was a fucked-up time,” O’Connor said. “I found it so impactful, people stopping me.
