Michael Sheen has shared his thoughts on Welsh independence in an interview with the Times. An outspoken advocate for Welsh identity and culture known for his support of local initiatives and rousing speeches to the national football team, Sheen has spoken directly about independence on surprisingly few occasions.

In an interview with the Times, the Port Talbot-born actor who gave up his OBE and describes himself as a "not-for-profit" actor, explained why he moved back to his hometown, his task of playing Prince Andrew in upcoming series A Very Royal Scandal and Aneurin Bevan in National Theatre production Nye.

why not

Because success would impact the status quo. The way the world operates and the way regular folk live their lives have become exceedingly profitable for the people that run it all. Success for Wales would not stop at Wales, like wildfire it would spread across the globe.

I’ve never been one for games of chance but if I had to wager on anything it would be that anyone with vast amounts of power would be loathe to take a chance on losing any of it.

I'll be honest, this just lights even more of a fire under me with regards to Indy support.
