Emmerdale's Marshall star Max Fletcher's life off screen including real age

ok.co.uk:

Max Fletcher made his debut as Marshall Hamston on Emmerdale earlier this year. He was introduced as a possible love interest for Arthur Thomas, and despite only being on the show for less than six months, has made quite the impact on fans.

Since joining, Max’s character has had his fair share of heartbreaking scenes. From Arthur’s mother Laurel noticing bruises on Marshall arms following a violent outburst from his dad, to the young boy experiencing homophobic attacks from his own father, at such a young age, the youngster has had a lot to deal with.Things aren’t set to slow down for him either, as Marshall has been the centre of more dramatic storylines this week.

After struggling to deal with the neglect of his father and accepting himself for who he is, the school boy found himself in a critical condition following an overdose of alcohol.

But it seems navigating serious storylines such as these is something that Max has been able to do naturally, perhaps due to his vast number of acting credits before he even joined the cast of Emmerdale.
