HIMESH PATEL - It's absurd as an actor, but I don't like being watched

You'll know Himesh Patel as Jack Malik in Danny Boyle’s hit film Yesterday, or perhaps as the beloved Tamwar Masood in Eastenders. Himesh Patel talks to Cush about growing up in a tiny village in Cambridgeshire. He was part of the only Indian family in a predominantly white town, passionate about Bollywood cinema, Star Wars and Lord  of the Rings, and who worked as a paper boy until he was 21. Cush finds out how this small-town boy shot to stardom and has ended up acting alongside the likes of Leonardo Di Caprio and Meryl Streep by the age of 33.
