Dublin actor Aidan Turner unaware of ‘Turner Fever’

Irish actor Aidan Turner has revealed he has stayed relatively in the dark over his new status as TV’s biggest heartthrob because he doesn’t use social media.

The Dublin star’s brooding good looks send Twitter into meltdown every Sunday night as seven million viewers tune into to watch the 31-year-old on screen.

But the former Clinic actor remains largely oblivious to his effect on the opposite sex as Captain Ross Poldark in the remake of the period drama of the BBC.
