diana: last days of a princess
interview with patrick baladi
Patrick Baladi admits he had some reservations about playing Dodi Al Fayed in Five’s dramadocumentary ‘Diana: The Last Days of a Princess’. “My instant reaction was: ‘oh dear, this is going to be just another sensationalist Diana drama covering the same old ground and I want no part of it,’” he says. “But, after a while, I looked at the project again, realised the people behind it were going to be making a responsible, well-researched drama documentary and said yes to it.”
‘Last Days of a Princess’ is as much about Dodi and his relationship with Diana, as it is about the princess herself –and Patrick hopes to shed a little light on the man he plays. “I didn’t know much about Dodi and I don’t think the general public as a whole did,” he says. “He wasn’t in the public eye in the way Diana was –at least not until he became involved with Diana –and finding out about him was difficult. There’s very little footage of him and, to an extent, even the voice was educated guesswork. I’ve gone for an Italian/Arab accent and I hope it’s accurate!
