Watch Iwan Rheon accept his Attitude Award for Best Actor

Vicious

and Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon received the award for Best Actor at the Attitude Awards on Monday night (October 13).

Fellow actors Ashley Jensen (Extras) and Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey) presented Iwan with his award on the night. While Ashley described Iwan’s career as “clearly in the ascendant”, Mat joked that Iwan was his “lookalike, but thinner and less attractive!”

“It’s been such a great last couple of years to get to work with such incredible people like Sir Ian [McKellen] and Sir Derek [Jacobi]. They’ve really taught me a lot,” said the Welsh actor upon accepting his award.

Speaking further about his Vicious co-stars, Iwan added: “As a young actor you aspire to work with people who treat everyone with the same respect and admiration that they themselves receive.”
