Summary

- Martin expressed his admiration for Whishaw's role in Black Doves.

Actor Ben Whishaw recently shared his surprise at receiving an unexpected message from Coldplay's Chris Martin. Martin reached out to Whishaw after the premiere of the Netflix spy drama Black Doves, expressing that he was a fan of the series.
Whishaw portrays Sam, an assassin in the high-octane show, a character he finds compelling partly because of his sexuality. He noted that seeing a gay hitman on screen is rare and challenges traditional perceptions of such roles.
The spy thriller, co-starring Keira Knightley, explores morally complex characters in unusual situations. Whishaw appreciates playing flawed individuals who do 'awful things,' finding them strangely sympathetic. Season 2 of Black Doves is now streaming on Netflix.
