Interview with Now Magazine

Sean Maguire's career is taking off in an impressive way - but his big film debut has been put on hold because the former Eastenders star has injured himself in a motorcycle accident. Six months of networking has paid off handsomely for Sean, who has not only won himself a role in the new series of Friends, but has also landed the lead in a made-for-TV film called Prince Charming.

Filming was due to begin last week but Sean came off his motorbike while tearing around the streets of LA and ending up bashed and bruised with a broken arm. It's the second time Sean as come a cropper shortly before a big career move. He broke his leg playing football before he was due to start work in Eastenders as Irish teenager Aidan and his injury had to be written into the script.

However, it seems that film makers TNT aren't so keen to have a handsome price with a black eye and his arm is in a sling and have halted filming until he's recovered sufficiently to hide his injuries with make-up. Sean, who also starred in Sunburn, will play the handsome prince who's turned into a frog. The story will be set in modern times and will star Christina Applegate as the object of the prince's affections.
