Fleabag star Andrew Scott is rumoured to have been approached to portray Tony Blair in season five of The Crown.
In 2019, Scott earned acclaim for his role as the “Hot Priest” featured in the second season of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag.
John Major, who was Prime Minister from 1990 to 1997, is also a likely character for season five.
The Independent has contacted Scott’s publicist, as well as representatives for the Netflix show, for more information. The Crown’s fifth season is reportedly set to begin in July.
