He says, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if my views of Brady have changed since researching the role &#8211; I just know a lot more about him and if it would be possible to get in touch with him then I would. &#8220;It&#8217;s very difficult as he is in Ashworth Hospital, where he has been held for six years.&#8221; The 37-year-old actor insists he has no qualms about playing such a controversial character, as the film explores a vital philosophical question.
