Currently, “Queen Charlotte. A tale from the world of the Bridgertons” is the most popular series of Polish Netflix and, although there are no viewing figures in the world for the first days of May, it is very likely that it will take first place in many other countries and in the global ranking. It’s no wonder that many people began to wonder who Corey Mylchreest was – as was the case during the broadcast of the first season of “Bridgertons” with the series’ Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page). And while Corey Mylchreest doesn’t reveal much about himself online, a few things have been established.
Who is Corey Mylchreest? It has already appeared in the production of Netflix
The actor who plays King George III, dubbed by some the “Mad King” (probably suffering from porphyria), was born in London in 1998. In the years 2017-2020 he studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and during this time he acted in many Shakespearean plays. Attentive viewers of “Sandman”, the adaptation of Nail Gaiman’s comic book on Netflix, could notice him in this production. Corey Mylchreest played Adonis in it. Immediately after graduation, he also starred in the short film “Mars”.
However, “Queen Charlotte” is his first starring role in his career. In an interview with “Ekstra”, the actor admitted that before he was offered the role of the British king, he did not watch “Bridgertons”, so he was not one of the millions of fans of this series. “It just escaped me somehow, I don’t know how.” Maybe I’m not the right viewer demographically,” he admitted. Thanks to what he said during the series premiere in Los Angeles, we also know that Mylchreest is in a relationship.
As soon as I got the job, I thought, ‘OK, I need to bing it.’ I sat down with my girlfriend and we watched the whole thing,” he said at the series premiere in Los Angeles.
On Instagram, however, it is in vain to look for photos from private life. The actor rarely shares photos, and if he does, they are from the film set or premiere shows. Perhaps this was where the advice he got about Page, the male lead in the first season of The Bridgertons, was relevant: Anything beyond the things that help you between ‘action’ and ‘cut’ doesn’t exist, and all which will help you then exists.
Which TV series character was inspired by the actor of “Queen Charlotte”?
In turn, during press conferences promoting the production of Netflix, Corey Mylchreest revealed where he drew inspiration from to play a character inspired by George III of Hanover, the last king of Great Britain and Ireland and the first king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It turns out that he drew not only from the biography of the ruler, but also from pop culture. One of the characters he modeled on was the hero of HBO’s “Succession” – Kendall Roy, played by Jeremy Strong, and another by actor Jason Bateman. – Jerzy has something similar to Jason Bateman when he gives interviews and the press. He’s very fast, funny and charming in a fantastic way. In a way that makes me think, ‘Surely this can’t be the level you’re at all the time’ – Mylchreest TheWrap.
– There was a piece of music from “Sukcesja” that I listened to when I put on the ring Jerzy wears, and that was the last thing I did before starting the day. It was almost like a Pavlovian reflex. I remember watching Succession and there was a moment where Jeremy Strong would look down and this music would come on and I was like, ‘That’s him. This is Jerzy – he was talking about Roy. “You could see this acceptance and resignation to life, because there’s a life waiting for you that you desperately don’t want, that you’re desperately trying to free yourself from, but you know you’ve tried everything and it’s just going to happen,” the actor explained.
