MAKING HIS BREAKTHROUGH IN 'THE GENTLEMEN' DANIEL INGS REVEALS WHY WORKING WITH GUY RITCHIE WAS NERVE-RACKING BUT CLUCKING GOOD FUN

So it's fitting that the English actor, who plays the elder brother of Theo James's estate heir Eddie Horniman, made a similarly memorable impact on the show's creator, Guy Ritchie.

"On my first day on set, our costume designer put me in a chicken suit and brought me to Guy in his trailer," says Daniel as HELLO! joins the actor and his castmate Michael Vu - referring to the elaborate costume he wore to film a surreal scene in which his character Freddy goes through a humiliating routine to appease some gangsters.

"Guy's trailer door opens and I get this waft of incense. Smoke's coming out and he's in there playing a steel guitar... He went: Ah, you're in great shape."

Daniel stars as erratic, drugaddicted black sheep Freddy in the eight-part series, which follows the chaos that ensues when Eddie inherits his aristocratic family's 500-year-old estate, only to learn that it's part of a cannabis empire. It was "a rollercoaster", says the actor.
