Beverley Callard is happy to ‘grow old disgracefully’

OHMYGOSSIP — Beverley Callard doesn’t mind “growing old disgracefully”.
The 65-year-old actress – who is best known for playing Liz McDonald in ‘Coronation Street’ – feels her “world has opened up” and she’s looking forward to next chapter of her life, after moving to the countryside with her husband Jon McEwan.
She said: “It’s a really great feeling. I feel like everything is slotting into place and it feels a bit too good to be true – it’s just fantastic.
“You wonder if something bad is around the corner, but I think you just have to enjoy it, don’t you?”
Beverley found herself reassessing her life amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the former soap star insists she remains determined to have fun.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I think a lot of us have been doing that after the past two years.
“It’s made many of us really appreciate what we’ve got – I’m one of the luckiest people.
“I don’t feel any wiser at 65 and think I’m maybe growing old disgracefully … but who cares!”
Beverley stars in the new comedy series ‘Newark, Newark’.
And the veteran actress admits she jumped at the chance to appear in the show, which centres on a divorced chip-shop owner.
She said: “When I left ‘Corrie’, I was going to wait for a really good drama where I wear no make-up and look really plain and boring, very different to how viewers have seen me before.
“But this script came along and I couldn’t say no. Every character jumps off the page and the scripts are just so funny.
“Pauline is so hideously grotesque and wonderful, I just had to do it. It was so fun playing somebody so awful. She’s like a panto villain.”
