BECOMING a successful actor has come at a cost for Ashley Walters – who is paying the price for not always being there for his kids.
The Top Boy star has been busting a gut on the Netflix show for years and has spent more time with the cast than his own family, admitting he didn’t give enough attention.
Dad-of-eight Ashley explained: “It hasn’t gone great with all of my children, I didn’t care enough. I didn’t want the adult responsibilities that came with it.
“For a long period of time I wasn’t there in the way I should be and I’m slightly paying the price for that now.”
Ashley’s career has blossomed since he began working on the crime drama more than ten years ago and it has helped him support the family.
