"I felt a bit down at first but as soon as I started filming and got to know the rest of the cast it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had." "I hadn’t even read a script and went because my manager said it was a great opportunity. Louis as Billy in Hotel Portofino (Image: Instagram) "There were tears and I was sad at first and calling mum, it really was on the Wednesday night I found out and on the Saturday I was flying, and it wasn’t like I was going to Spain, I was going to a country like Romania and shooting in the middle of nowhere so it felt a long way from home. It was a scary proposition but in the back of my mind I knew it was a good thing for my career so I went. He said: "I was only 17 so a bit nervous and reluctant. When another young actor dropped out of the show days before filming was due to begin, his manager asked him to fly out to Romania in just two days for at least six weeks to take the role.ĭespite some reservations - then aged just 17 - Louis went and said he had an incredible time. It was filmed back in 2018, not long after he landed representation in America. He plays Adam, the son of Sol, who is leading a group of people through a post-apocalyptic world. His show The Pact is available to watch now on The Roku Channel - available through NOW - and he says landing the part was a whirlwind. "It was just really random because we were just walking down a random street in LA."Īnd Louis said his mum, Loose Women and former Coronation Street star Denise, is always left beaming with pride whenever someone wants a picture with him. "This young girl was saying she was a big fan of The 1975 and knew I was an actor and wanted a picture. "Mum straight away was laughing and saying 'No matter how long I’ve not been called Healy for I’ll always be Denise Healy'. "The other day we were walking down the street in LA and this teenage girl walked past and was really smiling and she turned and said 'Excuse me, excuse me, you guys are the Healys right?' He said during an exclusive chat: "I just love seeing mum’s reaction to it because I’m not somebody who ever gets recognised and if I do it’s rarely someone recognising me from something, it’s more so if I’m with my brother or my dad or mum, I think we’re a very recognisable family.
