Oddsmakers figured Richard Madden might get nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in the riveting BBC/Netflix thrillerBodyguard.
That was a huge coup for the U.K. project, though Madden insists he wasnt expecting anything at all.
Im just blown away, Madden tells EW.
I never expected to get a nomination or anything like that.
It seemed so far away and foreign to me.
Im thrilled for everybody who is involved in the show.
To have the globes acknowledge and recognize that is mind-blowing.
Im still trying to catch up to the fact that its real.
And what about season 2?
The show is not yet greenlit for another season, but Madden suggests a decision is coming very soon.
Were meeting tomorrow, the actor says.
And well know then if its going to happen or not.
Well, surely this is going to help, right?
Probably, Madden admits.
Madden plays music manager John Reid.
Its a mad exciting thing like Ive never seen before, Madden says.
Its likeMoulin Rougeon acid with great performances by Jaime Bell and Taron Egerton.
There are trippy sequences with great drama.
Its exciting to do something completely different, to go from Bodyguard to singing and dancing to Elton John.
