EXILE member Matsumoto Toshio - also known by his stage name, MATSU - revealed on May 17th that he will be acting as the lead character in the upcoming BeeTV drama, "3maime no Bodyguard ~Boku wa Kimi Dake wo Mamorinuku~".


In the drama, MATSU plays a man named Nobu, who becomes a bodyguard for the selfish daughter of the countryside Osai clan, Natsumi (portrayed by Fukuda Mayuko). Although they often fight, they eventually come to like each other and plan for an escape.

Other actors in the drama include Takenaka Naoto and Kyoumoto Masaki.


Since this is the first time he will play the main character, MATSU appeared nervous but hopeful about his new drama. "I was really happy, but at the same time, my body feels incredibly tense. I feel the pressure," he admitted, but seemed to be at ease with his character Nobu. "When it comes to his lines, for example, I feel like it's similar to the way I talk... It's like I'm representing my own life. The parts about being bad with money are the same too... (lol)"


When it came to talking about acting in general, he enthusiastically replied, "There are still so many things left and right of me that I don't know yet, but I gave it my best shot while being saved by everyone else. In acting, I have no goals. It's fun that every time I act in something more difficult, I discover something."

The drama will begin airing on June 1st.
