Jack Ryan, a former star of the popular ITV soap Coronation Street, has been causing quite a stir on his Instagram lately. Fans have been intrigued by his ever-growing beard, giving him a retro and distinguished look. But what's the reason behind this new change? Well, Jack has recently spilled the beans and it's all for his upcoming role in a new ITV drama called I Fought The Law.
Based on a true story, the drama follows the courageous journey of a woman named Ann Ming, who fought for 15 years to bring her daughter Julie's murderer to justice. Julie, who was only 22 years old, disappeared in 1989 after working a late shift at a pizza parlour. Tragically, her mother Ann discovered her body hidden in the bathroom of their home. Despite facing two mistrials, Ann never gave up and continued to fight through the justice system to seek justice for her daughter.
Jack is set to star in this gripping true-crime drama alongside TV and theatre legend Sheridan Smith, who will be playing the role of Ann. Jack couldn't contain his excitement as he shared on his Instagram, "I've been a fan of @sheridansmithster for as long as I can remember, so this is a big one for me. I'm thrilled to finally share what we've been working on!" He also revealed the reason for his new facial hair, jokingly adding, "That explains the mustache, by the way."
Fans of Coronation Street may remember Jack as Jacob Hay, a troublemaker who caused chaos for Simon Barlow. However, his character went through a transformation when he fell in love with Amy Barlow and became a reformed man. But despite his efforts to leave his criminal past behind, Jacob was pulled back into it when his father, Damon Hay, showed up and forced him to smuggle drugs through the bistro.
Things took a dramatic turn when the police arrived at the bistro with a sniffer dog, and Jacob had to quickly dispose of a large stash of drugs down the toilet. Fearing for his safety and the safety of his loved ones, Jacob made the difficult decision to leave Weatherfield behind. For Jack, filming his final scenes was an emotional experience, as he was surrounded by his co-stars and the show's executive producer, Iain MacLeod, who gave him a heartfelt speech and a bottle of champagne.
