'I Never Kiss And Tell'

Returning this month in cool arctic drama Fortitude, Luke Treadaway talks climate change, bad headlines and why we should all be kinder to each other

I interrupt Luke Treadaway on a little break in Canada. At the tail end of the press tour for A Streetcat Named Bob, he’s flown from the movie’s New York premiere to visit his girlfriend, actress Ruta Gedmintas, in Toronto where she’s filming psychological thriller The Strain. It was decided that the transatlantic promotional trip would be a little too much for his co-star Bob, the stocky ginger cat who plays himself in the true story of James Bowen (Treadaway) whose life of addiction and homelessness was turned around by the arrival of a small, furry shadow. ‘Bob was ready for a little chill out after all the press in London,’ says Treadaway, where he was greeted at the premiere by the Duchess of Cambridge. ‘I think [Bob and his owner] will be doing Berlin, though. I missed him in New York.’
