Benidorm's Michael Garvey: Then vs. Now
24 Jan
Summary
- Actor Oliver Stokes, who played Michael Garvey, is now 27.
- He has traded acting for fatherhood, welcoming a son named Archie.
- Fans expressed shock at his transformation on social media.
Oliver Stokes, known for his role as Michael Garvey in the popular ITV series Benidorm, has seen a remarkable change nearly two decades after his debut. The now 27-year-old actor, who portrayed Janice and Mick Garvey's son from 2007 to 2015, has largely left the acting world behind.
Stokes has embraced fatherhood, frequently sharing glimpses of his son Archie and his partner on social media. His recent appearances, including a short moustache and a casual winter look, have surprised many viewers. He previously recalled spending up to three months filming in Spain, requiring a private tutor for his education.
Fans reacted enthusiastically to Stokes' transformation, with many noting how old they felt seeing the child stars of Benidorm all grown up. The actor recently appeared on Loose Women, coinciding with news of the sitcom's potential return.
