2. Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt in Coronation Street) – THEN
Can you believe that Jack P. Shepherd was only 12 years old when he took over the role of David Platt in Coronation Street?!
It wasn’t long after Shepherd first joined the cobbles that his character began acting up by getting arrested for shoplifting, getting into fights at school and using manipulation tactics to get his own way. If only things got better with time but as us Corrie fans know, that’s not how David plays…
Unlike many stars, Jack P. Shepherd has remained on the show and has been at the centre of some of the soaps most hard-hitting story-lines and his successful performances throughout is what helped him to pick up the British Soap Award for Best Actor in 2018.
In real life the actor shares two children with his ex-girlfriend of fifteen years Lauren Shippey, and reportedly he fathered a son following a one-night stand in 2010.
