Inbetweeners cast on series - refusing reboot, offensive humour and escaping characters
The Inbetweeners launched on Channel 4 back in 2008 and was an immediate success, even having garnered enough of a fanbase to warrant two spin-off movies.The main protagonists Will, Simon, Jay and Neil were the breakout roles for their respective actors and helped launch their careers.Now, with the actors into their thirties, the four main characters have admitted that they aren’t open to the idea of reprising their roles for the sake of nostalgia, even refusing any involvement if the concept goes ahead.READ MORE: Inbetweeners star James Buckley admits to unlikely hobby that has left him unable to sleepKeep reading to see what the original cast of The Inbetweeners really think about the series that brought them fame.As the main protagonist and narrator of the show, fans would be forgiven for thinking that Simon would be eager for an Inbetweeners reboot.However, the apprehensive star – who is now 37 years old – has said that he has spent his career trying to escape the image of Will McKenzie.Despite the show’s three season run, with 18 episodes over the course of two years, Simon’s life is still overshadowed by his role as Will.The iconic character was known for his stiff upper lip, tendency to get himself into sticky situations and inability to read the room, which is something that the actor has tried to distance himself from throughout his career post-Inbetweeners fame.His career defining role has done just that and has left him trying to figure himself out.Bird explained: “My career [depends on] being able to wriggle free from being Will from The Inbetweeners. I’ve been trying to escape his shadow.
