Real life of Corrie's Rowan actor Emrhys Cooper - age, Hollywood role, cult link

Coronation Street fans have been begging for Leanne Battersby to see what's really going on as she becomes further involved with The Institute and her mentor Rowan Cunliffe.

She had been trying to get to the truth of who they really are before she was arrested, discovering Leanne had told Rowan about the tragic stillborn baby she'd buried as a teen.

But some Corrie fans may not know that Emrhys has his own experiences of Rowan-types through his own parents - Christopher and Raphaela - who found themselves in and out of groups over the years. "Growing up in Totnes, Devon, a very new-age town and a breading hub of gurus and holistic doctors, my parents encountered quite a few Rowan types over the years," the actor told the Manchester Evening News earlier this year.

"Unfortunately she didn't and she stockpiled the prescription then four years ago she had a very severe stroke which has left her paralysed and in a nursing home. But one of the things that happened that is similar to my storyline , my parents did wind up in a cult but it was a wellness, fitness, more of a spiritual cult.."

As for Emrhys himself, before arriving on Corrie, the actor, singer, dancer, and filmmaker starred as the male lead role in the Emmy nominated StyleHaul Drama Series Vanity in which he stars alongside Denise Richards and Karrueche Tran. His varied career has also seen him work with artists including Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Pussycat Dolls, having previously worked as a dancer. And some Corrie fans haverecently been left surprised to realise the actor starred in the music video for the hit song Push The Button by girlband Sugababes in 2005, but looked entirely unrecognisable as he took on the role of the 'Geeky Guy'.
