PLAN B LISTEN BACK: FLEABAG'S BEN ALDRIDGE ON PLAYING BATMAN'S DAD IN PENNYWORTH

Ben Aldridge Fleabag's Ben Aldridge stars as Thomas Wayne in the TV series Pennyworth. He told Sarina on Saturday's Plan B that even though people have played Batman's father before, it always depicted the moments leading up to his death. In Pennyworth we get to know the man - what made him tick. Ben had to grow a moustache to play Thomas Wayne. While it took a bit of getting used to at the beginning, it felt weird when he had to shave it off.   View this post on Instagram   REFLEKTOR @comic_con @pennyworthonepix #batdaddy @iheartmaarten A post shared by Ben Aldridge (@benjaminaldridge) on Jul 22, 2019 at 11:12am PDT Fleabag fans will recognise Ben as 'The Arsehole Guy' from the series.
