Harry Goodwins says playing Ray Winstone’s son in ‘The Gentlemen’ has made his dad jealous
The former reality TV star and model plays Jack Glass, the boxer son of Ray’s gangland boss character Bobby Glass, in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series spin-off of his movie of the same name.
Harry told The Sun: “I was worried that Ray would take one look at me and be like, ‘No, I can’t work with this guy, he’s terrible,’ but I was immediately made to feel at ease like I was with my own family.
“It was like talking to my dad at times – and he did tell me he got jealous about Ray.”
Guy’s eight-part show also stars former ‘Skins’ actress Kaya Scodelario, 31, as drug dealer Susie.
Harry added about being starstruck by his castmates: “It was crazy walking on set on the first day and seeing Ray.
“Vinnie Jones was there – and Kaya, who I’d watched in ‘Skins’ from the age of 12, was now my big sister.”
Along with his acting work, Harry is a successful international fashion model, known for his work with brands including Prada and publications such as GQ.
Guy’s Netflix version of his 2019 film ‘The Gentlemen’ follows Eddie Horniman (played by Theo James), who has inherited his English aristocrat father’s massive estate and becomes the new Duke of Halstead – only to discover it’s sitting on top of the biggest marijuana farm in Europe, owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson.
Along with Ray, Vinnie and Kaya, the cast includes Joely Richardson, Daniel Ings, Giancarlo Esposito, Peter Serafinowicz and Max Beesley.
Guy, 55, directs the first two episodes and executive produces alongside Matthew Read, Marn Davies and Ivan Atkinson – and along with Marc Helwig for Miramax TV and Will Gould and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures.
