Benidorm star Adam Gillen looks very different from his fresh holiday character Liam Conroy, 13 years after his first appearance on the small screen.
The actor starred in the ITV sitcom from 2011 until its conclusion in 2018, playing the role of Les Conroy’s son, played by 70-year-old Tim Healy.
And now Adam looked unrecognizable as he ditched his iconic red locks and clean-shaven face for a thick beard and bleached hair.
The clumsy character was initially a holidaymaker, who had traveled to Benidorm to visit his father Les Conroy, who worked at the Solana Hotel.
In season five, Liam joined Solana’s workforce as a maintenance worker; However, in the series finale, the boy leaves Solana to pursue a career with Kenneth Du Beke at the Blow ‘n’ Go Salon.
Today the actor can be seen slim and wearing a selection of fashionable outfits as he enjoys life with his dog and partner, Laila Zaidi.
