A Coronation Street star has left fans completely stunned after making a surprise appearance in a Hollywood film alongside Orlando Bloom and Stranger Things star David Harbour.
The ITV soap actor has ditched the cobbles for a totally different role in the new Gran Turismo film based on the bestselling PlayStation games. He appears alongside an array of A-List stars as they tell the story of a Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won him a series of Nissan-sponsored video game competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.
Jamie Kenna, who shot to fame as Phill Whittaker in the soap, had fans scratching their heads as they barely recognised him in the film released this week. Phill was the beau of Fiz Stape, who she eventually left to rekindle things with her ex Tyrone Dobbs. The character was keen on writing a book about Fiz’s late husband John Stape and his killing spree.
However, the actor decided to leave the soap in 2022 after 63 episodes. He has now turned to the glitzy world of Hollywood as he plays Jack Man Jones, a member of the Nissan pit crew who helps shoot Archie Madekwe’s character Jann Mardenborough to the podium at Le Mans.
