Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything is delighting fans after its launch – but many are confused by Sheridan Smith and Ardal O’Hanlon starring together in the Sky comedy drama.
Lots of fans have pointed out that Ardal O’Hanlon – and Pauline McLynn – are too young to play Sheridan’s parents!
But what is the age gap between the actors?
Read on to find out – plus what else viewers are saying about Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything!
What is the age gap between Sheridan Smith and Ardal O’Hanlon?
Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything follows Rosie after an embarrassing moment at her brother’s wedding which leads her to give up, well, everything.
In the show, Sheridan Smith‘s character’s parents are played by Ardal O’Hanlon and Pauline McLynn (who previously worked together in Father Ted!).
But fans have pointed out that Ardal and Pauline don’t seem old enough to play Sheridan Smith’s parents!.
One viewer tweeted: “Sheridan Smith low-key looks the same age as her parent’s characters in #RosieMolloyGivesUpEverything.
“Did they have her at 12 or…?”
So what is the age gap between Sheridan Smith and Ardal O’Hanlon and Pauline McLynn who play her parents?
Sheridan Smith is currently 41 years old, which makes her just 16 years younger than Ardal O’Hanlon, 57, who plays her father Conall.
Pauline McLynn, who plays Rosie’s mother Win, is 60, so that makes her 19 years older than Sheridan Smith.
So, while that is young, it’s enough of an age gap for them to be parents!
