“But I was young kid growing up in the public eye and I was, I could say at times, I was actually a proper dickhead. And I wear my heart on my sleeve.”
Ryan went on to reveal that Corrie co-star Charles Dale, who played Dennis Stringer on the soap, once pulled him to one side in the green room and gave him some advice.
“He said, ‘You’re acting a little bit cocky and people are seeing it and it’s not looking good’. I was like, ‘Yeah, I needed that’.”
The star suggested that the “problem” in showbiz now is that “everyone’s playing the game” and that “the game’s changing”.
“No-one wants to see the filtered version of anyone anymore, right?” he elaborated. “Everyone’s seen the light, everyone can see through it, right.”
It comes after Ryan spoke on the podcast about his apparent “reputation” for “being quite rude” to fans asking for photos, recalling one incident when “there was like two or three people asking for photos”, responding: “I’m not terrible, actually… I’m the same as you, I’m good with people.”
When Adam said it was an “old lady”, Ryan shared: “She was there, and she was taking pictures. And we both leant in and we did a picture, while she was taking the pictures without even asking.”
His brothers suggested that the woman was struggling with her phone and was nervous, before Scott proposed that Ryan was an “old-school celebrity” and “used to get absolutely pestered all the time”.
