10 Actors Who Trashed Their Own TV Shows
2. Citadel Star Lesley Manville Won't Watch Violence And Is Offended By It
This year's Amazon Prime big-budget action thriller by the name of Citadel definitely boasts its fair share of hard-hitting violence, with the likes of Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra throwing down and getting their asses whooped by various bad guys throughout.
Elsewhere in the show, Lesley Manville plays an "incredibly bad" UK ambassador known as Dahlia Archer. But when talking to The Guardian about the series earlier this year, it became clear that Manville wasn't what you'd call the most passionate supporter of the sort of violence seen going down in her own show.
According to the star, she actually doesn't watch any violence and went as far as to note how she hates it.
Admittedly, she hadn't actually seen the final edit of Citadel at the time she was interviewed and wasn't aware of the full extent of the violence on show. But that still didn't stop Manville from slamming the likes of Game of Thrones due to it being pretty violent towards women, claiming that she is "offended by it" and doesn't want to see that sort of stuff on her TV.
So, you can bet she won't be in a rush to watch Chopra fending off some nasty blokes on a train on Prime Video any time soon.
