It won't be long before the actor will be celebrating a quarter of a century playing the much-loved ITV soap character
It wouldn't be Coronation Street without David Platt and it won't be long before Jack P Shepherd will be celebrating a quarter of a century playing the much-loved character.
During an episode of his Sofa Cinema Club podcast, which he hosts with fellow Corrie stars Colson Smith and Ben Price, Jack said: "When this film came out I was like 11 to 12-years-old and I'd obviously been for an audition. I was only gutted in the sense that I did not get it because of the success the film went on to do - Academy Award nominations. And I used to watch the Academy Awards religiously, getting up in the middle of the night to watch them.
"I know I have been incredibly lucky and love working with such a fantastic group of actors but the relentless schedules take their toll on your mental health, particularly when you have been through as much trauma as David Platt. People pick over your appearance on social media every day and some of those comments really hurt."
But Hanni later explained during a joint appearance on Loose Women: "We just kind of clicked and he made me laugh a lot that night, it didn’t really go anywhere from that but then we met each other in Sainsbury’s. I had no make-up on, I was bright red, I was sweating, I was so embarrassed." Instagram In a clip posted to his Instagram page, cows could be surrounding their car as the sun started to set on the day. In the video, Jack was heard telling his and Hanni's chihuahua, Baby, to get back inside, which she did, as the cows moved around the vehicles. "Bugger off, shoo," he was also heard saying as he tried to get some space away from the animals.
