Matthew Rhys has accused the public’s actions of making him “banana”.
The “The Americans” star makes no secret of his frustration with modern habits that seem to be pushing him over the edge: blasting videos, music and FaceTime calls in public just like everyone else.
“Is there anything that frustrates you?” Lis asked in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
“What’s been irritating me lately is people watching things on their phones without headphones,” Lis said. “I’m becoming a father, and I feel like I have to start saying to people, ‘Excuse me, do you have headphones?'” Because if we don’t educate people, it’s going to become even more prevalent and out of control than it is now. ”
The actor’s solution to modern-day overstimulation is truly radical.
“What do you do to relax?” he was asked.
“Horses are big to me, even if it’s not on the water, not in a kayak or a sail or anything like that,” Reese explained. “Just be quiet and be in nature. You can’t be on your phone. You have to be present.”
The Welsh actor’s latest project is Widow’s Bay, in which he co-stars with Stephen Root.
The series centers on Tom Loftis (Rhys), an ambitious mayor who attempts to capitalize on the surge in tourists visiting his fictional island. His goal is to turn it into the next Martha’s Vineyard.
Meanwhile, Rhys is with his longtime partner, “Felicity” alum Keri Russell.
The two have been together since 2014, and two years later they welcomed a son named Sam.
Their romance began while playing married Soviet spies on FX’s “The Americans,” and they turned their explosive on-screen chemistry into a real-life relationship that has survived in Hollywood for more than a decade.
“We were in a hot, heavy love affair, filming a spy movie at night wearing disguises and wigs,” Russell previously told Variety. “I mean, it was a really fun and sexy time.”
What started as on-screen tension eventually became a real-life relationship.
Part of what unites them is that they couldn’t be more different.
Rhys previously told Parade that the secret to their success was “balancing each other out.”
“Most of the time you need one person to be a level head, and that’s her,” he says. “And I’m the intense type. … We work well as a team, we have a good partnership, and we make each other laugh.”
