Coronation Street’s original Simon Barlow actors unrecognisable 20 years after soap – as they appear in new Domino’s ad
CORONATION Street’s original Simon Barlow actors Jake and Oscar Parry look completely different from when they starred in the ITV soap 20 years ago.
Soap fans would now do well to recognise them all grown up as they appeared in a new Domino’s ad.
Now 20, Jake and Oscar were just babies when they appeared in the Cobbles as Simon.
They played the role from July to November 2003, although for two episodes in September, the role was instead played by Daniel Whelan.
Now, 20 years later, the twins have grown up and look completely different from their time on the show.
Posting to their official Instagram accounts, they shared a Domino’s ad which also featured current Simon actor Alex Bain.
The clip showed the twins as they battled each other and rushed to the door to collect the pizza.
Both sporting long ash-brown hair, they both looked as though they had matured.
They wrote alongside the clip: “DOMINOS Tearing Loved Ones Apart Since 1985.
“It was a privilege and honour to work alongside some of the crew from BARBIE, HARRY POTTER, STAR WARS and SPIDER-MAN.
“Special thanks to my agent @tvtwinsuk #hannahbirkett and @astoller for this great opportunity.
“Also a pleasure to meet such a great cast.”
Since appearing in Corrie, Oscar and Jake have maintained their acting streak with stints on Doctors, Mount Pleasant, Get Even 2, Dodger, and The Other One to name a few.
Jake’s film credits include The Awakening and It Feels Like This, while Oscar’s include After Hours, It Feels Like This, Youos and North Nights.
