A moving testimony
Naturally, the actor said he was hurt by this harassment that "affects his life, his mental state and is a daily concern". The accusations made against him by his tormentors, range from the manipulation of fans, to a homosexuality that he would hide according to them or to ignore the advice to fight against the Coronavirus. In addition, the actor justifies his choice to have confined himself to Hawaii, saying that taking several flights back to the United Kingdom, would be similar to exposing himself and endangering others, because of the health situation. From the publication of this text, the actor said that he will not hesitate to block those who write defamatory or abusive remarks. He also suggested that disgruntled people stop following him on his social networks. Finally, the actor wanted to thank the fans who support him, as well as his work. Well aware of the current situation, he urged his followers to be cautious and benevolent. Following the publication of this text, the actor was able to count on the support of his fans and colleagues, such as Lauren Lyle (Marsali) or Roman Berrux (young Fergus).
