Andrew Scott thinks his wealth is a "miracle"
The 44-year-old actor struggled for money during the early years of his career, but now that he's rich and famous, he doesn't take his success for granted

He said: "[Being rich] is the absence of worry about money."
Andrew then admitted he no longer worries about money, and he conceded it's a nice place to find himself.
He told The Times newspaper: "I think it’s a miracle. I really do.
"I was working in a French theatre in London for nothing - none of us was working for anything - and I remember the artistic director of the theatre talking about the fact we weren’t earning any money as some sort of virtue. I remember feeling really annoyed about that, like this isn’t good."
Andrew starred alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the hit sitcom 'Fleabag', and he previously admitted to being shocked at being offered the role.
The actor feels he has a "natural chemistry" with Phoebe, who played his on-screen love interest in the series.
Andrew shared: "We’d not seen each other for so long. But we had a natural chemistry then, and we still do.
"What I love about 'Fleabag' is that it talks about sex in what Americans would call a very sex-positive way. It’s the thing that every single person in the world is interested in, whether they are sexual people or not."
Phoebe also thinks Andrew was perfect for the role.
She explained: "It couldn’t have been anyone else.
"It wasn’t an easy task – someone who could convince as a person who’s seemingly totally at peace, but at the same time has a promise of danger. He had to be a character that Fleabag couldn’t sum up and dismiss as easily as she has with so many others - so he had to be played by an actor who you can’t define.
"Andrew has the charisma of 10 people rolled into one."
