William Roache, the actor who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was born on April 25, 1932. As of October 2023, he is 91 years old. Ken Barlow, the character he portrays, is thought to have been born on October 9, 1939. However, this information conflicts with other sources that state Ken Barlow was born in 1962, which would make him 60 years old as of 2022. It is important to note that Ken Barlow is a fictional character, and his age may not be consistent throughout the shows history. In August 2022, some viewers were amazed that Ken Barlow was still sprightly at 82 years old, which is almost eight years younger than William Roache.
