Sean "P.uff Di/addy" Combs took to his Twitter account yesterday to announce that he had been cast as the first black cast member of the popular Masterpiece Classic series DOWNTON ABBEY. Despite the claim, it was soon refuted in a statement by WGBH Boston which said, "Very funny, but it's simply not true."
Yet not wanting to disappoint viewers, Diddy released a "preview" of his Downton Abbey debut at midnight via Funny or Die. In the spoof, Diddy plays Lord Wilcott, the new owner of Downton Abbey.
According to ITV's official synopsis of the historical drama's fourth season, "Downton Abbey series four finds Lady Mary mourning her husband Matthew, who died six months earlier in a tragic car crash. Matthew had just visited his wife and new baby George in hospital and was returning to see his family when his car overturned killing the heir to Downton. Will Mary find happiness again in the new series of Downton Abbey which will be back on our screen in the autumn."
The series returns in January of 2014.
