Richard Madden gets covered in plaster to make costume for new Amazon spy thriller Citadel

Richard Madden has shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse into his latest venture as he got covered in plaster to make a head cast.

The Scottish actor, 34, was transformed into an unknown character for his upcoming Amazon spy thriller Cital, which is being kept under wraps.

The Rocketman star posted the update via Instagram on Tuesday, as special effects crew covered his face and head in plaster.

Putting a bald cap over his hair, Richard smiled as the team used talcum powder on his chest before covering him in mould down to his shoulders and then a full plaster cast.

The plot for Citadel has been kept tightly under wraps, with Richard to be joined by Priyanka Chopra, Stanley Tucci and Ashleigh Cummings.

It comes as Bodyguard creators haven't ruled out a second series following the huge success of the BBC drama.

Series one of the hit thriller aired in 2018 and starred Richard as the titular Bodyguard, assigned to protect Keeley Hawes' Home Secretary character.

Bodyguard's six episodes were written by Line of Duty creator, Jed Mercurio, and featured plenty of action as well as shocking twists.

Fans of the show have been eagerly anticipating a second series and now there has been a hint that there could be one in the pipeline.

Simon Heath is the CEO of World Productions, which has collaborated with Jed on Line of Duty, as well as Bodyguard.

Speaking about the hit show, Simon said: "Bodyguard is a big beast to put back together. I’m reasonably confident we will see it in due course."

He continued to Metro : "I knew it would be compared to Line Of Duty but the excitement I was feeling at each stage of that process made me feel like we were on the right track."

Jed Mercurio previously revealed he could imagine Bodyguard having four series in total.

"It's probably fair to say we would probably approach any thoughts of a second series with the idea that it would create an opportunity for a third or fourth," he teased.

"We do feel very privileged and fortunate that there's been such a response that it gives us that opportunity to at least think about doing more."
