Robert Aramayo, a rising British actor, experienced a surprising revelation of his Bafta nomination for Best Actor while engaged in household chores. This recognition came for his touching portrayal in the drama 'I Swear.' The film, set in 1980s Galashiels, follows the early life of John Davidson, a campaigner for Tourette syndrome awareness.
'I Swear' depicts Davidson's challenges with tics and the lack of understanding from his community and teachers at the time. His journey toward acceptance was aided by mental health nurse Dottie Achenbach and community centre caretaker Tommy Trotter. The film has received five Bafta nominations, acknowledging its sensitive exploration of Davidson's experiences.
Aramayo, also known for his role as Elrond in 'The Rings of Power,' has navigated a demanding schedule, balancing promotional events with his stage production. He expressed his deep care for the stories of individuals living with Tourette's and his commitment to contributing to broader awareness and education on the condition.
