Corrie star Antony Cotton has claimed that he tries to keep a low profile in his spare time. The 34-year-old actor, who plays Sean Tully on the soap, insisted that he is only interested in his career and does not want a celebs lifestyle. Cotton told the Belfast Telegraph: “People don’t believe it, but I am quite shy. I don’t really want people to notice me. I don’t go high-kicking into bars shouting ‘look at me!’ – I’m not that kind of person. “In Manchester I don’t go to the big trendy bars, I go to the little pub round the corner.” He continued: “Fame never, ever interested me – I wanted to be an actor. When I was a kid you weren’t aware of fame like you are aware of it now. Now people want to be famous and they don’t know what else they want to do apart from being famous.

“I’m not knocking it – if people want to be famous then good luck to them, but when I was growing up that wasn’t part of the deal. Now I realise that it is, and if you are on the telly five nights a week it makes you famous, but it was never something I chased.”
