Andrew Scott, renowned for his portrayal of the priest in season 2 of Fleabag, remains warmly associated with the endearing moniker of the "Hot Priest."
Even years after the bittersweet series finale, the 47-year-old actor graciously embraces the enduring legacy of his beloved character from Fleabag. Speaking to People Magazine at the premiere of his latest film, All of Us Strangers, Scott expressed his appreciation for the continued recognition tied to the iconic role.
"I think it’s fantastic," he enthused. "It hasn’t hindered my creative exploration. In fact, it was such a remarkable character, and there are far worse things to be associated with in life," he reflected with gratitude.
Scott breathed life into the character of the priest, the captivating love interest of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's titular character, affectionately christened by fans as the "Hot Priest."
Despite the heartwarming and swoon-worthy moments shared over the series' six-episode arc, the Hot Priest ultimately chose a different path, opting for his devotion to God over a romantic pursuit with Fleabag in the poignant series conclusion of 2019, much to viewers' emotional investment.
Nevertheless, the allure and charisma of this captivating character persist in the hearts of fans, evoking fond memories of Fleabag's emotionally charged narrative.
As a testament to its enduring popularity, Fleabag continues to captivate audiences and is available for streaming on Prime Video, keeping alive the legacy of the unforgettable "Hot Priest."
