Former Corrie star Harry Visinoni shows off new look

What a difference a haircut and shave can make as Coronation Street star Harry Visinoni shows off his new look.

The actor, who left Corrie last year, looks unrecognisable in these Instagram images enjoying a drink with a friend alongside the caption: “Two happy lads”.

His character Seb Franklin met a tragic end on the cobbles, having been murdered by Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) and his gang as part of a dramatic hate-crime storyline.

The new look, which includes a clean shave and his curly hair removed for a much shorter hairdo, is miles away from his role as mechanic Abi Franklin’s son.

This wouldn’t be the first time Visinoni has shocked fans with his transformation, as late last year he unveiled his newly fit body on the social media site.

“Super proud of what I’ve achieved in the last few months,” he proudly wrote.

“I’m down 12kg now and feeling stronger than ever. It just goes to show that with dedication and hard work, you can make big changes to your life in not much time at all. Looking forward to continuing this journey of getting better and stronger.”

After his exit, the actor spoke about his brutal death in Weatherfield and filming those shocking attack scenes.

“It’s interesting because a younger Seb a few years ago maybe would have stuck in and had a fight with Corey, but the more mature Seb we’re seeing now realises the best way to protect Nina and himself is to get out of there. It’s fight or flight, and flight is definitely the way to go in this situation.

“It was quite exciting to film. I loved it. Shooting at night creates a different vibe in itself, so it was good and the energy was high.”

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
