Michael Sheen has admitted he has trouble accepting non-Welsh actors playing Welsh roles.

The actor, who was born in Newport, Wales, made the remarks while discussing his new role in BBC One’s Best Interests, in which he plays the father of a child with cerebral palsy.

He noted that there were several people with disabilities working on the project, leading him to talk about of how far actors can plausibly play people whose experience they have not shared.

“You know, seeing people playing Welsh characters who are not Welsh, I find, it’s very hard for me to accept that,” the 54-year-old told The Telegraph.

We Central Chimpanzees have similar opinions when human beings act like "superior" primates.
