Misfits new boy Joe Gilgun chats to Digital Spy

[@TheTwiggyDance]

Aw man. "Im not as beautiful and symmetrical like robert"............ dude. Joe Gilgun is gold on the inside and the outside. I think he's fucking gorgeous as hell!!!

[@radam282]

Joe's acting is a lot more symetrical than Robert's. 😅 Thankfully.

[@EnergyDoesNotLie]

Rudy and Nathan bring their own brand of humor. Personally I like them both!!!

[@LeiYouToRest]

he's freakin hot.

[@rattleandhumgirl]

I loved Nathan in Misfits but I love Rudy even more, I've never laughed so much watching a series that is not a comedy, the way Joe deliver's Rudy's lines are bloody brilliant, such a timeless character!

[@alligatoruk]

I personally prefer Rudy to Nathan on Misfits - this is probably down to Joe because he's hilarious (and super cute). Also, I think Nathan was a bit of the one dimensional, selfish prick, whereas Rudy is more sensitive deep down. Like Rudy 2 really, who is so sweet - I love Joe's portrayal, he manages to show the differences between the two versions brilliantly.

[@MrMattaiusify]

+Allison Green Agreed. Rudy is more complex than Nathan which was great to watch. However, I bloody loved Nathan. Although I'm not going to say who I prefer, that isn't really the point of Rudy - I think the writers did an excellent job of distinguishing between the two characters, when they could have just used Joe to be a 'replacement' Nathan.

[@joshjennison5983]

me too

[@italiacameron]

After not being able to see the last 3 Seasons for a few years because I couldn't find it online (thank you Netflix) I wasn't sure how good it would be without Nathan's character, but I absolutely fell for Rudy! Great acting- wonderfully weird character, completely loveable. Hope to see Joe in more things-huge fan now

[@Papayaaa27]

italia cameron Check Joe out in Preacher. He does an awesome job as Cassidy on screen.

[@claudiaramozzi2823]

I fucking love Joe Gilgun!

[@daxsheepard9344]

Misfits has aged well even in 2021

[@moshiqueen3680]

At first I didnt like rudy because i missed Nathan too much. I now like rudy but i will always miss Nathans humor. Thats probably because Robert sheehan is hilarious and such a nice guy that i want him back. If Nathan and Rudy ever met they'd be great. Nathan would crack a joke and rudy would back it up by telling some hilarious story.

[@kwakkers68]

What a MASSIVE talent! All of them are ... But ancient people will remember J G been in Corrie, and he was brilliant even as a young lad!

[@oliviabell9691]

I had no complaints with Joe joining the cast. He was brilliant, & just as hilarious as Robert:)

[@viviann1027]

"I'd turn for Robert" XD

[@BrianDurex]

Joe's a legend, love all his stuff

[@bigheadbob37]

i could watch this fella all day long great actor

[@1821aftershock]

i like this guys voice.

[@cooasp12]

Great actor. He did very well in Lockout and he really played his part good!

[@victoriafedchenko460]

I think Rudy is a bit older and much more funnier than Nathan. I really loved him though, but when Robert left the project it turned out that I don't miss him that much. Joe is a very decent substitute. The further you deepen in the episodes, the harder it will be to "unlike" Rudy, believe me :)

[@italiacameron]

They need a Misfit movie

[@joshjennison5983]

They should!

[@jonkimberson3253]

italia cameron unfortunately freeform is going to remake misfits as a American series.i honestly think they'll ruin cause they're "freeform" and one of the reasons Misfits was so good cause it was R rated.freeform will water it down to a PG or PG-13 tv show.but when I heard about this it was months ago so hopefully they cancelled the idea

[@LouiseLydia]

I adore him so much!

[@danielirl9252]

Best character🙌

[@jamesbullet55]

Never watched Misfits, but he is one fucking good actor! He was unbelievable in TIE, the film, 86 and 88. Superb actor!

[@DebKFairhurst01]

"Rudy" did pull it off....Joe Gilgun,All The Way !

[@italiacameron]

Yes he did!

[@keiwa11]

personaly I find Joe Gilgun(Rudy) freaking handsome

[@Andariel79]

Sheehan is just as great of an actor, I doubt you've seen him in anything other than Misfits. He's incredibly versatile, too.

[@goldenbabe44]

This guy is the only reason i even watch Misfits! I saw a couple with Nathan in it but i found it boring tbh. Joe Gilgun is one of my fav actors and deffo makes the show worth watching. Love him and the accent :D

[@mr.marvelasmr5872]

When Rudy was introduced I was a bit skeptical about him but I think Rudy was a lot better than Nathan. Nathan was just funny because he was annoying. Rudy wasn't. Rudy had a lot more to offer

[@kirah4292]

This man is beautiful.

[@MrsCullenCooper]

i am SO in love with him. drool.

[@TheBeatleChild]

omg. he is amazing. and so is his accent.

[@ak7686]

LOL

[@nataliePEACEMAN]

Love the fact that he's from my home town. BIG UP FO' CHORLEY

[@bagaaoglong]

Despite apparently originally being billed as "Nathan's replacement", Rudy is clearly differentiated so far from Nathan that, despite being cast as the main funnyman, he's still a great character. His split-personality power has made for some inspired exchanges between his two selves. He's a happy-go-lucky guy, with an interesting, amusing and backstory, lending itself towards the reason for his insecurity manifested in his other side. And his lines and flexible facial expressions are hilarious.

[@sueannwashere]

Joe Gilgun has one of the best accents ever

[@fede2892]

my favorite character from season 3

[@silly245jklpuzo]

HE FILLED THE GAP FOR ROBERT I LOVEEEEEEE RUDY

[@MattVSInternet]

I do miss Nathan but Rudy is an awesome funny character so far. He is like a step father, he won't replace your father but he will be there in his own way. :P

[@ShugglesStuff]

hoooollly crap. joe.... i love ya, as a character and an actor. never once compared ya to robert either, it would be wrong to. you're acting a role made by the writers perfectly, and i whole-heartedly enjoy watching.

[@TheArtboxable]

I like Rudy more, personally. Or I guess I should say I like Rudy's potential more? There's more area for depth in Rudy than there was in Nathan. And I feel like Rudy is a more easy-going, silly humorous character while Nathan was kind of a more aggressively, almost mean-spirited humorous character Joe Gilgun is a fantastic actor, as well. I'm excited to see if the show will really utilize his ability.

[@frederikwong7062]

This might start a war, but the lanc accent really sounds similar to the yorkshire accent.

[@lethappinessgrow]

@brfffa That would be so awesome, if robert would pop in every once in a while, and guest star on the show! Nathan and Rudy probably wouldn't like each other though!!

[@cookieandhiky]

At first I was upset but now Rudy is one of my fav characters and I am enjoying the new season so much :D

[@TheKidWhoLived]

Nobody could ever replace nathan, but rudy does well. He's hilarious as his own character.

[@pemchem]

I like Rudy more than Nathan!

[@ak7686]

LOL

[@jamesbullet55]

Just realised, in TIE he's Woody (nickname of Joe Strummer) and in this he's Rudy (A message to...) ... There's a theme here aha

[@rosebloomsblack]

Goodness , rudy and nathan are to completely different characters, if you were only watching the show for nathan then thats really sad, and you didn't really love the show it self, The four other main characters are still their guys. I loved nathan too , but I'm loving rudy too , they are both amazing actors , who bring different things to the show.

[@nothuman100]

Took me ages to realise that he's woody

[@MissMurder1243]

Rudy is flipping hilarious!

[@TheDaffyduck629]

Barry is Simon, not nathan

[@JessikahAznBabyy]

i thought season 3 would be the beginning of the end, but its just as good as the first 2

[@shimamura1000]

RUDY CANT FAIL!

[@TOmOeItOh]

Quality is the difference , it doesn't matter the country where the series are made.

[@mentallyaktive916]

I miss This Era !

[@Alchemista420]

cheerleaders episode, fucking hilarious in it

[@acutefluffybeaver]

I was disappointing when i found out that nathan was no more on misfits, but i gotta be honest.... they couldnt of found a better replacement!! Joe Gilgun did a bloody fantastic job and possibly made me laugh more than nathan!!!

[@dalemanderson]

I say "fucking" alot n' all, Most people here in england do generally, just part of the dialect I reckon haha.

[@8jazz8]

The captions xD

[@jjfruitcake]

man rudy is just so outrageous and random that i'm starting to love him more than nathan :O

[@Claudio.Brito93]

best new caracther ever

[@EllieFlynn95]

I'm absolutely inlove with you Joe.

[@garethbr26]

Joe is as good as Robert if not better ..Also he is genius in "This is England"

[@bobbryan2670]

Rudy is awesome, Nathan was epic too, stop harassing the bloke, wasnt his fault Nathan left

[@mrsdoctorsong]

Lol I love the way he's like "I dont have sexy Irish hair, or a sexy irish accent" LOOLAGE rudy is good but if you brought Nathan back aswel as rudy, that would be hillarious

[@jeanee1228]

@MattVSInternet you put it perfectly. lol!

[@sam.silker]

But he's fucking hilarious.

[@jonkimberson3253]

Where the hell are they on set

[@FallonAnuk]

I think he is cutter than Robert and I liked his character more. It just ticked me off that Nathan kept confusing Simon's name and just generally didn't care about any of the other characters beside Kelly.

[@Exitium98]

NOOO theres no more misfits AGAIN!

[@rahvu420]

@MultiBubba4811 E4 has confirmed Misfits series 4

[@20tom09gt]

it would have been nice to see Rudy & Nathan meet because i think that they would have got on if not becoming best mates

[@Naty6559]

Me too, I mean, I love Nathan, I thought I could never watch misfits without him, but after I saw that Nazi episode I completly forgot him.

[@JapaniseZombies]

I think you are a great replacement for Robert Sheehan, great actor mate

[@GABz9100]

He's like the pippin of misfits

[@samelf07]

@andsparksfly I wasted my time checking my inbox for that?

[@biggerbrother]

I actually prefer Rudy to Nathan. I never thought Joe was right for this but he's been hilarious!

[@SuperTHEWANTEDLOVER]

i met him

[@krizzy__]

I'm only watching series 3 onwards now I haven't had chance to watch or I wouldn't have the right channel so now I'm watching the whole box set and loving it but if it goes too superhero ish I will get put off.

[@yaxofossiad]

I prefer Rudy to Nathan any day!

[@CommissarXIV]

Rudy is by far a better char, so much more funny.

[@WasChipHere]

@MattVSInternet well said bro

[@OuiAngie]

you can even see in interviews, the rest of the cast seem to like him more than robert sheehan.

[@bustergaa]

So it is only Curtis, Kelly and Rudy left, and Kelly's boyfriend, next season is gonna be strange! :D

[@CristianoRonaldo-eh5bd]

Funniest Guy On Misfits

[@ak7686]

NO

[@abcdefg2174]

Why is everybody comparing Nathan and Rudy? They're pretty similar. I personally prefer Nathan, but everybody is making such a big deal out of who they like more. Why can't we love both? x)

[@BEANYGIANT1]

i like the part where he comes up the stairs with a huge hammer

[@PeterOwen88]

Eli Dingle!!!

[@Bonobanos]

Lucky.

[@pinkpollo95]

I LOVE RUDY.

[@eyesintheskies]

Rudy is my hero…

[@krystianj]

"If I fuck this one up, I'm going back to plasterin'" #lad

[@paulwalthew9712]

Rudy is boss but I think he should have came in series 2 because you don't see a lot of him

[@TheAxeWorld1]

He has 3 seasons,practicaly starred by just him ._.

[@MrZhekaRap]

РУДИ))

[@HardRock90]

Miticoooo

[@g30rg1nal0u1s3]

i think both together would be fab, even tho i am the hugest robert sheehan fan

[@JD.727]

Wow... he's spot on about why I'm a little disappointed. I think it takes a real man to admit he knows he's asymmetrical, but it's a well-written show and he seems like a good actor. Eventually people will warm up to his character. Real fans can get used to anything. Idk about you guys, but I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with him.

[@BooMcx]

Robert is beautiful young men :D

[@aidanlennon1]

such a way with words hahah allways a dingel

[@TOmOeItOh]

then they must have their reasons or not, who knows

[@MsYasi95]

if i f*** this one up im goin back to plasterin :'D i love him too much!

[@Valete85]

i miss nathan a lot even tho i like rudy

[@pbandjgrl]

I must say the f bomb way too much because I didn't even notice it. I think some people just use it regularly without thinking of it as profanity.

[@douglasjordan8248]

This guys charcter is soooooo like my grandmother.....odd that
