He's known for playing Coronation Street hard man Jim McDonald, but actor Charlie Lawson was going for soft skin in real life this week
He is famous for playing one of Coronation Street 's toughest tough guys for the past 35 years. But in real life Jim McDonald actor Charlie Lawson was heading for more relaxing pursuits at the weekend.
For he opted for a Sphagnum moss facial - a treatment that uses the peat moss he fondly remembers from his days growing up in Northern Ireland. He says: "I tend to play guys who don’t wear makeup, I’ve never played any weird kind of character really so I very seldom wear any make-up for filming. They put anti shine on me and that's about it. I only ever had blood on Corrie!"
He has been embroiled in all kinds of drama as Jim on the soap - officially first leaving in 2000 when he was sent to prison for the manslaughter of Corrie villain Jez Quigley. But he has gone on to return to the soap to cause plenty more chaos in the years since.Charlie says: "I’m the most returned character in the history of soap - I’ve been back 7 or so times now." And he added: "The last time was 2019 so I’m overdue a return if anyone is listening over there.
Charlie has been keeping busy in recent months by penning his autobiography. And it's due to hit the shelves later this year in what sounds like a real page turner.
