Andrew Scott Interview

‘The damage the Catholic church did to me is still within me’

“I was damaged by the Catholic church myself,” says the 42-year-old star of Sherlock and Spectre, clutching a cushion in the green room of London’s BFI Southbank. “But that doesn’t mean it’s without merit for some people. And it doesn’t mean it’s without merit for this character. He’s good at his job, and he sees meaning in it.”

Scott’s priest isn’t exactly a paragon of piety: he is flirty, sweary, and hides G&Ts in the church cupboard. His parents are alcoholics and his brother is a pedophile. “I’m aware of the irony of that,” he says wryly in the new series, which picks up 371 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes after the brilliant first one left off. The first episode takes place over the course of an engagement dinner, but this is Fleabag, so the celebration ends with a miscarriage, two bloody noses and a “well f**k you then” from the priest to Waller-Bridge’s eponymous anti-heroine. But as the series progresses, the pair’s relationship develops into something quite profound

“It’s not taking an easy swipe at the Catholic church,” says Scott, staring at the mirrored ceiling above us. “Are there faults of the Catholic church that are highlighted by it? Yes. But there are also amazing things about the Catholic church that are brought up later on in the series.”

Growing up in Dublin, Scott attended a Catholic boys’ school, where teachers would spew flippantly homophobic rhetoric, and his classmates would laugh along. It was hardly the ideal place for a shy, insecure gay boy to thrive. “It’s still within me, that damage,” says Scott, who came out publicly in 2013. “But weirdly, forgiveness, which is something that the Catholic church teaches you, is something that I’ve had to employ in relation to that itself, which is kind of strange. But I’m enormously grateful that I, because of the work that I’ve done, have been allowed to emancipate myself from it a little. My particular attitude towards the Catholic church is, you know, depending on the day… It’s taken a long time to find my voice, and do not… because sometimes the rage that you feel…”

Outrage, particularly in the form of online comments and tweets, is something Scott has little time for. “We do live in a culture of slight hysteria,” he says. “I think the problem is, the world is so full of opinion now, terrifying opinion, in black and white, that we don’t hear or see coming from the person’s face, we see it written. People sit, usually anonymously, and” – he drums his fingers aggressively on the table – “write things down. You know, we’ll do this interview today, but there will be comments underneath it that will scare the living s**t out of you. And there are good things about that, and there are bad things about it. But you don’t get to see the people, you get to see ‘Irate89’ or whatever, and I think seeing things written down, sometimes you lose a little of the humanity and the nuance.”

Wherever possible, Scott tries to avoid this kind of spotlight. “I think I am still a little bit shy,” he says. “I got into drama initially because I was really shy and had a lisp, and I would be terrified… and then something would happen. [Now] it depends on the day. Sometimes you want to look out, don’t you? You want to observe and not be observed. That’s sometimes difficult. I always find it really weird, you do a play, and people know who you are, and there are 200 people outside the stage door, and then,” he takes a long, deep breath, “you walk around the corner and you go home.”

Is Andrew Scott Married? ‘Fleabag’s ‘Hot Priest’ Likes To Keep His Personal Life Hush Hush

Published: 1/4/2019

Scott tends to keep hush about who he’s dating, however, he is openly gay and has spoken about his sexuality on more than one occasion. In an interview with the Independent, he said “mercifully, these days people don’t see being gay as a character flaw. But nor is it a virtue, like kindness. Or a talent, like playing the banjo. It’s just a fact. Of course, it’s part of my make-up, but I don’t want to trade on it.” And, back in 2015, Scott backed the equal marriage bill in his native Ireland but, an interview with Red magazine made it clear he felt he’d be unlikely to get married himself.

Scott told the publication he has a long term partner, but said of getting married, “it’s just an option. But it’s about having the same options as everyone else. So now a gay person has a right not to get married.” He also spoke about the success of the equal marriage bill, saying “people came out in droves, from all different backgrounds, to vote for love, and that’s essentially what it is. It also meant that the idea of being gay or bisexual was discussed by families all over Ireland.” He continued, “bringing it out in the open like that, and for it to have a result like that, means that it has changed something in the genetic make-up of the country. I don’t think that the full depth of what has been achieved there has even unfolded yet.” I’m telling you, this man is an icon.

At the start of Series 2, Fleabag’s sister Claire says, “the priest is quite hot” and truer words have never been spoken. Scott shared his thoughts on his newfound Fleabagsex symbol status in an interview with The Guardian, describing it as “unchartered territory”. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the show’s creator and star, said she cast him as the priest because “it couldn’t have been anyone else, It wasn’t an easy ask — someone who could convince as a person who’s seemingly totally at peace, but at the same time has a promise of danger.” She continued, “he had to be played by an actor who you can’t define. Andrew has the charisma of 10 people rolled into one.” I couldn’t agree more. Scott seems to have made the jump from Bond and Sherlock villain to sex symbol pretty seamlessly.
