Tom Ellis has ruled out starring in the next series of Downton Abbey.
Tom Ellis已经确定不会出现在下一季《唐顿庄园》中。

The Miranda actor was rumoured to have auditioned for the role of Lady Mary's new love ­interest and been shortlisted by producers.
有传言称，《米兰达》主演汤姆•埃利斯参加了Lady Mary新爱人一角的面试，而且已经被制片人划入最终入围名单。

An ITV source said: "It was an absolute no-brainer to get him in for an audition. We know that Tom's got a lot of other options at the moment but if he does get the role it will be an incredible opportunity for him.
一位ITV内部人士说：“叫埃利斯去参加面试绝对是没有经过深思熟虑的。我们都知道他当时还有很多其他选择，不过话说回来，如果他能参演《唐顿庄园》，这对他来说也是个很好的机会。”

"A lot of the current cast have become global superstars. And it is always a bit of a coup for us to attract a ­major BBC star to a flagship ITV show like Downton ­Abbey."
“很多《唐顿庄园》的演员都成了世界巨星。如果能请到BBC一大男星来参演ITV代表作《唐顿庄园》，对我们来说绝对是意外之喜。”

However, Ellis has since tweeted: "OK, so it's been lovely to hear all the congrats for Downton but the truth is I'm not going to be in it... but thank you for your messages."
但是在那之后，埃利斯在推特上写道：“首先，感谢大家对我要出演《唐顿庄园》表示祝贺，但是说实话，我不会去演…不管怎么说，还是感谢大家给我的留言。”
