Hugh Bonneville wants Sean 'Diddy' Combs for Downton Abbey
Written by . Published: January 24 2014
Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville is urging TV bosses to give rap giant Sean 'Diddy' Combs a role after he previously joked about joining the cast.
The I'll Be Missing You hitmaker baffled fans last year (13) when he announced he had landed a part in the hit British period drama, but it later emerged he had merely shot an online spoof for comedy website FunnyOrDie.com.
However Bonneville, who plays the Earl of Grantham in the show, has
revealed he is a big fan of the rapper and loves the idea of
handing him a role.
He tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "It would be amazing to
get P. Diddy (sic) on. Downton Diddy. Brilliant. I'm keen to spread
the Downton love."
