March 2024 - news - Charles Dance



The actor, director, and Game Of Thrones star Charles Dance tells Gyles about his childhood, adolescence and the early years of his career: which are possibly not what you'd expect. Dance was born to working class parents in the Midlands, lost his father when he was only 3, and then moved to Plymouth where he developed a stammer. He didn't train to be an actor until later, and his training was unorthodox - he was taught by two eccentric old men in the midst of rural Devon, where ballet exercises were done by holding onto the towel rail in front of the Aga. Charles also talks to Gyles about the failure of his first marriage, about his first job, and his time in the school choir.

"For the most part it was a wonderful marriage, but then, unfortunately, I succumbed to some temptations along the way and the marriage ended because of my behaviour really.... 
Because we were living in Somerset, in this enormous place, and Jo had her study at one end and I had mine at the other end, and we became a bit like George and Martha in the play Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? really after a while"
Eventually I came back and I thought, “really, we have to have (a) very serious conversation”. And I had to come clean and it came as a shock to Jo, bless her.’

I don’t want to be seen to be scrabbling around for excuses.’

never thought of myself as attractive’
‘I really didn’t…’ he added. ‘(It) wasn’t until I did The Jewel In The Crown years later and people talked about me as being “the thinking woman’s crumpet”.
I always felt very grateful if girls behaved as if they were attracted to me.’

In our business, Gyles, temptation is often presented and you have to be pretty together and balanced, and have not a particularly powerful libido to not succumb to that.
So, the marriage came to an end – huge regret. But after about 18 months, Jo and I, thankfully, became the best of friends, and we remain so, thank God.’
 Oh my goodness, the benefit of hindsight.
‘It took me a long time to learn the law of cause and effect.’
To be honest, it’s meeting Alessandra.’
 Alessandra’s fantastic. I’m very, very lucky.’
