Coronation Street fans were left baffled as Aadi Alahan has appeared to have aged by 10 years pretty much overnight.
Recently Corrie announced the role of Dev’s son Aadi has been recast and new actor Adam Hussain would be taking over the role from previous actor Zennon Ditchett.
In last night’s episode (Wednesday, April 15), Adam made his debut on the soap.
As Dev taught him about stock rotation, Aadi turned to his dad and said: “Dad I said I’d help out for a couple of hours. This isn’t the Lion King.”
But as Dev went out the back and customers left the shop, 14-year-old Aadi quickly pinched a bottle of alcohol off the shelf.
After Aadi’s first scene, viewers were left baffled, saying Aadi now looked about 25.
How is Aadi now 25? #corrie #coronationstreet
