ITV’s age-gap romance drama, Leaving, is currently climbing Netflix‘s Top 10 chart. The three-part series stars the late Helen McCrory and Callum Turner – and the Masters of the Air actor looks completely different.
Callum made his TV debut in the 2012 series when he was just 22 years old. He plays Aaron, a university graduate who embarks on a passionate affair with married hotel manager Julie (McCrory).
After landing a role in the series, which viewers have hailed as an “outstanding drama,” Callum starred in the 2014 war drama, Queen and Country, for which he was named a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit.
