Last evening on the BAFTAs, pundits had been anticipating Timothée Chalamet to select up the Best Actor award for Marty Supreme.
However, in a shock upset, Robert Aramayo (Game of Thrones, The Rings of Power) was shocked to find he’d received, beating film stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B Jordan.
The 33-year-old English actor is the primary since Jamie Bell in 2000 to win the Best Actor BAFTA with out being nominated for the equal Oscar.
He received for starring in I Swear, a biopic of John Davidson, a Scottish man with extreme Tourette’s syndrome that has 100% constructive critiques on Rotten Tomatoes.
Written and directed by Kirk Jones, I Swear’s official synopsis reads: “Based on the true story, I SWEAR is a moving, uplifting account of the life of John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome campaigner who grew up with the condition in 1980s Scotland, at a time when it was little known and misunderstood. Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.”
I Swear can be streaming on Netflix from March 10, 2026.
