Daniel Brocklebank was left aghast when some 'Coronation Street' fans told him he looked older than his mother.
Billy Mayhew
The 41-year-old actor - who plays Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap - was enjoying a day out with his beloved mum but couldn't believe it when several people approached them to lavish compliments on his youthful looking parent, with the implication that he is not ageing well.
In a Twitter post, he revealed: "Today I had a few people tell me that my mum looks younger than me. While this pleases her muchly please consider those of us that had an up hill paper round & also inherited my dads genetic facial ageing... (sic)"
Since lockdown started being eased in the UK, Daniel has been enjoying having some freedoms back, especially enjoying seeing his family friends who he has missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And the soap star is very excited for the summer as more restrictions are lifted.
He tweeted: "I’ve had messages from folks saying they like lockdown & they’re not ready to “people” yet ... that’s cool. You do you. I’m ready to “people” the s*** out of this! Bring on the people!!"
Previously discussing the easing of lockdown restrictions on his Twitter account, he wrote: "If lockdown has taught me anything it’s that the smallest things were definitely the biggest. I will never take anything for granted again."
