Full Monty cast now – flashing claim, Corrie star husband and Nicole Kidman link

You can leave your hat on – as Sheffield’s stripping sextet are back in a new TV series of The Full Monty.

Set 25 years after the film in 1997, it sees all the main stars return and looks at what happened to the characters – after putting their kit back on.

The movie reflected the devastation left by the collapse of the Sheffield steel industry and the TV reboot similarly looks at how they are coping with the hardships of today’s society.

In the new series, he now has a teenager daughter.

After The Full Monty, Robert – who left school at 16 to work as a decorator – was Bond villain Renard in The World Is Not Enough, appeared in the music video for Oasis track Little By Little and was in 28 Weeks Later.

More recently he starred in 2019’s War of the Worlds series for BBC and played the PM in Sky One drama Cobra. Known for his commitment to roles, when he reprised psychotic Begbie for Trainspotting sequel T2, he had a dental implant taken out and lost another tooth in the process.

Robert, 62, has been married to make-up artist Anastasia Shirley since 1997 and they have three children.

He’s maybe best known as King Robert Baratheon in Game of Thrones despite getting bumped off in the first series. Mark, 58, is married with three kids.
