Life and career

[edit]

Patrick Bever was born on 26 November 2002 in Stockport, Greater Manchester and attended Cheadle Hulme School.[1][2] He also studied at the Manchester School of Acting prior to his television work.[3] In September 2021, Bever joined the cast of the ITV soap opera Coronation Street as Max Turner.[4][5][6] He took over the role from child actor Harry McDermott who had portrayed the role for eleven years, following the show's decision to take the character in a more "mature direction".[7][8] His storylines on the show have included becoming radicalised by a far-right extremist group and subsequently being sent to prison, as well as a storyline surrounding toxic masculinity which sees the character become the victim of a nude photo leak after being catfished online.[9][10][11][12] For his portrayal of Max, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at the British Soap Awards and the Inside Soap Awards.[13][14][15][16]

In October 2022, Bever won the award for Rising Star at the 27th National Television Awards, beating Heartstopper actors Joe Locke and Kit Connor.[17][18] He also appeared as a guest on the CBBC entertainment programme Saturday Mash-Up! alongside co-stars Elle Mulvaney and James Craven in various segments, one of which he was slimed.[19][20][21] In May 2023, he appeared in an episode of This Morning surrounding the Coronation Street street party for the Coronation of Charles III and Camilla.[22][23] Bever was then longlisted for Best Leading Performer at the 2023 British Soap Awards.[24][25]
