Contemporary history and its film adaptation are moving ever closer together, and for actors this means embodying real role models who are still very much present in the eyes of their viewers. It shows enormous self-confidence to make a comparison with the original yourself. Kenneth Branagh plays Boris Johnson in the series “This England”, only a few weeks out of Prime Minister’s office, and at the beginning of the first episode the real news snippets are slowly mixed in with the images from the fiction.
