Hugh Bonneville has received death threats from 'Downton Abbey' fans.
The 49-year-old actor plays man of the manor Lord Grantham in the period drama and he says fans of the show find it difficult to separate his character from reality and are furious at him for ignoring the doctor's advice which led to the death of his on-screen daughter Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay).
He joked: ''People on Twitter were devastated. I've had hate mail and bomb threats, because I'm obviously the most evil person on the planet for favouring one piece of medical advice other another. In some people's eyes, it's my fault, because obviously I do live in 'Downton Abbey'!''
''I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but it's lovely that people are devastated about Sybil's death. It shows they've invested in the world, and it's a real compliment that they care so much.''
