| TV Times Jon enjoys an idyllic childhood, growing up under the watchful eye of his loving mother, Irene, and his artistic father, Jolyon. He seeks life's simple pleasures, but his world is turned upside-down when he meets Fleur. "Fleur's very beautiful, and Jon's attracted by her energy," says Lee Williams, who plays him. "He's been raised in a very open, fun environment and Fleur fits into his idea of what someone should be like." Intially, Jon can't see anything beyond his love for Fleur and isn't worried by all the fuss there relationship is causing. "They just think it's some silly family feud and can't understan why everyone's so against it," explains Lee. "They don't realise the seriousness of what's happened and it's only later that Jon finds out. He changes from innocent to witnessing the dark side of life." Expect to see plenty more of Lee's face on TV. Later this year, he'll star alongside Warren Clarke and Hugo Speer in the BBC1 drama The Debt. Despite his youthful looks, Lee is, in fact, 29 and says he now wants more adult roles. "I really enjoyed doing The Forsyte Saga, but I don't want to play a virgin who's in love for the first time anymore!" he says. |
