Welsh actor Luke Evans interview
Evans also has his top three Welsh beaches nailed down.
“I’ll always love Barafundle Bay in Pembrokeshire, and not only because I like saying 'Barafundle', which is a magnificent word,” he says. “It’s a perfect, private little beach, hemmed in by sand dunes and pine trees, where you can take the dogs and make as much noise as you want.”
“Then there’s Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower Peninsula, with its ruined castle and wooded valley at the top,” adds Evans. “And my third choice is Tresaith, near Cardigan, which is only a very small detour off the Wales Coast Path – and best paired with a stop at the nearby Ship Inn!”
Following recent roles in big-budget television series The Alienist and Nine Perfect Strangers, Luke’s career appears to be going from strength to strength, with the actor travelling all over the world to film. Despite this, it’s actually an experience in Wales that currently tops his bucket list.
“When I took part in Wales’ Year of the Sea promotional campaign, we did some filming from a light aircraft,” says Evans. “We followed the coastline south from Eryri (Snowdonia), and in the footage you could see porpoises and dolphins playing in Cardigan Bay. I’m planning to take a boat trip to get a closer look – we’ve got one of Britain’s biggest populations of bottlenose dolphins out there!”
Hopefully finding them won’t require any stops for directions.
