Emmerdale star Alexander Lincoln breaks silence on major Hollywood movie role as co-star gushes over him
FORMER Emmerdale star Alexander Lincoln’s film debut is set to emerge, as his co-stars rave about their on-screen partnership.
Most viewers will recognise Alexander Lincoln for his time in Emmerdale, but he’s now enjoying the bright lights of Hollywood with his movie debut.
The ITV actor has taken on a role in The Groomsmen: First look, as he stars as Zack alongside Jonathan Bennett, B.J. Britt and Owen Davis.
Co-star Jonathan Bennett has shared a gushing post dedicated to Andrew on Instagram as he told fans: “Get ready for the epic love story set in the most beautiful gay destination of all, Greece. My love for @alexander_lincoln is off the charts.
“He’s the biggest idiot you will ever meet and I mean that whole heartedly. Thank you Alex for bringing Zack and Danny’s story to life in ways I didn’t imagine.”
Co-star James Vaughan also commented on the post as he wrote: “I wanna say something smart like usual but this love story is so dang cute and well done I’m just gonna tell everybody to watch it tomorrow.”
Alexander also shared it to his story, as he urged fans to watch the film once it airs.
Alexander is best known for playing Jamie Tate in Emmerdale from 2019 to 2021, with his last appearance being in November of that year, with villagers believing the character to be dead after his car crashed into a lake.
But soap fans know Jamie survived and is alive and well away from the village, leaving the door open for a potential return.
Yet fans may be waiting a while as Alexander is now firmly in Hollywood, with his latest role.
With Alexander’s career taking off, it seems a return to Emmerdale is not on the cards at the moment, but he hasn’t ruled it out in the future.
He previously told Attitude magazine that talks had taken place.
He said: “I loved the show. I lived in Leeds for two-and-a-half-years. I miss everyone from the show deeply. No one knew who I was before it — I’d done some very tiny things. It was my initiation into the acting world.
“I can never thank them enough for that experience. But I don’t know, to be honest. There have been talks. But for now, I really want to focus on this year: I want to produce, start my own scripts.
“There are other parts I want to play. There are time constraints. Being on the show, it’s such hard work — you don’t have time to do anything else. Booking a holiday is hard enough.”
Alexander has also notably appeared in Dolly Alderton’s BBC series Everything I Know About Love and the Netflix comedy-drama Geek Girl.
