Some of them do it for the love of it. Others because they need to keep busy, while some just can’t stand the idea of retiring. Whatever the case may be, just in case you thought the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley have disappeared off the face of the earth, here you’ll find what they, and many more, are up to.

Thelma Barlow – Age 92

Retirement seems to be the top priority for Thelma Barlow. It’s been over two decades since she starred as mavis Wilton in “Coronation Street,” and she seems completely uninterested in coming back, having turned down numerous requests to return to the role.

She said this much in a 2020 interview that as much as she has been asked, she doesn’t think she can play the role anymore. She has also appeared in “Doctor Who” and “Dinnerladies,” but after a small speaking role in 2016’s “Florence Foster Jenkins,” she has been quiet. She did feature in a 2021 special called “Coronation Street Icons.”
