He had a very fragile ego, and so the thought of bankruptcy was absolute torture to him. He treated her very badly but she stayed with him."Įddie: "It’s a perfect storm of dysfunctionality! John’s a man who always needs to be superior, because he’s got such low self-esteem. Monica: "Anne hadn't really had the opportunity to discover herself and what she liked, because she’d gone straight from living with her parents to moving in with John. Monica: "And dealing with a fantasist on a day-to-day basis must take all sorts of psychological gymnastics!" How would you describe the relationship between John and Anne? He is a fantasist and Anne is the victim of a fantasist." He had delusions of grandeur and, in a narcissistic way, he thought he was smarter than everyone else. Here, Ray Donovan star Eddie and Monica, who played Rose West in Appropriate Adult, talk about playing the decidedly odd couple at the heart of the story… What’s your take on the couple you are portraying in this drama?Įddie: "John tried to build a buy-to-let empire and retire early. The pair were subsequently found guilty of fraud. The strange saga continued to unfold in a series of increasingly bizarre twists, that saw the couple start a new life in Panama, before John turned himself in to the British police in 2007, claiming to be suffering from amnesia. Eddie Marsan and Monica Dolan as John and Anne Darwin.
