I had to get in shape to do shirtless scenes in Poldark but I didn’t feel objectified, says Aidan Turner
Aidan Turner’s topless scything scene in Poldark turned him into a sex symbol – and he has been trying to shrug off the hunky image ever since. His upcoming role as a dodgy doctor in ITV thriller The Suspect is a far cry from the look in the period drama that made him famous. But Aidan, 39, has only himself to blame for the lingering image of his honed body, admitting he hit the gym in preparation for his Army captain character stripping off.
