Aidan Turner, the charismatic star of Poldark and The Suspect, recently opened up in an interview, lightheartedly acknowledging a recurring theme in his acting career: scenes involving minimal clothing. “I’m always in a state of undress!” Turner joked, reflecting on how these moments have become almost synonymous with his on-screen roles.

The Irish actor, known for his smoldering performances, humorously noted that both he and his family have grown accustomed to his penchant for portraying characters requiring such scenes. Despite the attention this brings, Turner emphasized that these moments are just part of his work, often contributing to the authenticity and intensity of his characters.

Turner’s breakout role as Ross Poldark in the BBC series Poldark notably solidified his image as a heartthrob, with shirtless scything scenes that left a lasting impression on fans. Yet, Turner is quick to point out that while these moments may attract attention, his focus remains on delivering layered, compelling performances.

Beyond his physicality, Turner’s career continues to evolve, with roles that challenge him as an actor. In recent projects, he has taken on complex characters in psychological thrillers, showcasing his versatility and dedication to his craft. Despite his playful comments, it’s clear that his appeal extends far beyond the surface.

Turner’s humor and humility endear him to fans, proving that even when “in a state of undress,” he’s entirely comfortable in his skin—both as a performer and as a person.
