Adam Woodyatt – Ian Beale from EastEnders

Although he has appeared in a couple of shows before landing the role of Ian Beale in EastEnders, Adam Woodyatt became a household name because of the soap opera. He joined the cast of the program as a teen and has since stayed with the show. Despite the awards that recognize his stellar performance, his personal life took a beating.

In 2020, it was announced that Woodyatt was taking a break from EastEnders while production Looking Good Dead was on tour for the next two years. Woodyatt, who split with his wife last year, is 53 and, appearance-wise, may not be recognizable from his teenage years.
