At a British Airways and VisitBritain party to “promote British tourism†yesterday, Dan Stevens (a.k.a. Matthew Crawley) was asked a question about his recent Downton departure — which makes sense, since the show is a major cultural export and also because Dan Stevens is only famous because of Downton Abbey. His response? “It’s nice that people care, I suppose, about the show, but yeah, you know … I had to do what I had to do.†Oh. Well, then, maybe he’d like to comment on his recent change in appearance, since it caused such an Internet stir? “Really? OK, I suppose. There’s so much else going on in the world.†Stevens did have some U.K. travel insights, though: “The food is much better than it used to be, and the weather is getting better, too!†The weather in Great Britain is improving. You heard it from Dan Stevens first.
