Corrie stars in Disney's Beauty and the Beast

This afternoon I went to the cinema to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It's an enjoyable film and I recommend it heartily.

And there were two Coronation Street surprises in the film too!

First off, there was Coronation Street garage mechanic Nathan Cooper.

Actor Ray Fearon, who played garage hunk in obligatory vest Nathan, starred in Beauty and the Beast as Père Robert. Here he is on the right hand side of this picture from the film.

And actor Sir Ian McKellen also starred in the film.  We know him better as Mel Hutchwright in Coronation Street.

And here he is as the man and talking clock Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast.
