Josh O'Connor has revealed he was sacked as an altar boy - because he was smiling too much on the job. The Crown star, 35, reminisced about his short-lived role in church as he plays a Catholic priest in Netflix's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Appearing on Late Night with Seth Myers, Josh said his playful attitude cost him the job, which he said he was 'brilliant' at. He revealed: 'I was an altar boy and it was sort of my first foray into being what I thought was being on stage, and I was red for smiling too much. 'I think my mum said to the priest: 'He's smiling in the presence of the Lord'.
