When it comes to playing exhausted dad of quads Chesney Brown on Coronation Street, Sam Aston reckons there’s not too much acting involved.
As dad to two kids under two, including a newborn, he admits he’s pretty worn out.
“My current life actually goes very well with my storyline and Chesney having quads,” says Sam, 29. “If you see me looking knackered on the screen, it’s because I am!” And it’s not like he gets a break from babies when he gets to work, because some of his scenes involve working with the infant actors who play the quads.
“There’s triplets and there’s two separate lots of twins [playing his on-screen family],
so that’s a lot of babies,” he tells. “But we get to hand them back to the parents, so that’s easy.”
Things are a little different at home. Son Sonny, 22 months, was joined by little sister Daisy in May, and Sam says it’s all go for him and wife Briony from very early in the morning, as Sonny wakes up at 5am.
