The mysterious off-screen life of Hollyoaks star Charlie Behan – passionate DJ and challenging marathons
HOLLYOAKS star Charlie Behan has been on the show for over a decade but will soon be leaving.
The 19-year-old actor, Charlie Behan, stepped into the role of Charlie Dean back in 2011, taking over from Joshua McConville. Over the years, he has grown into the character, captivating audiences with his portrayal of Charlie Dean’s emotional highs and lows in Hollyoaks. However, as his on-screen journey nears its conclusion, Behan has begun to explore other passions and showcase his multifaceted talents beyond acting.
On his Instagram account, Charlie has shared glimpses of his life outside of Hollyoaks, highlighting his interest in DJing. In a short video clip, Behan can be seen mixing tracks, accompanied by the playful caption: “Hard launch,” signaling his serious dive into this creative outlet. But music isn’t his only interest—Charlie also participates in marathons. One post features a snapshot of him crossing the finish line at Manchester’s Half Marathon last year, showing his dedication to both physical and mental endurance.
A source close to Charlie revealed: “Leaving Hollyoaks was a huge decision for him, but he feels it’s time to spread his wings and pursue new opportunities. While he’s going to miss the cast and crew, he’s eager to see what the future holds.” Hollyoaks has yet to provide an official statement on his departure.
During his lengthy tenure on the show, Behan’s character has been involved in some of the most intense and memorable storylines, making a lasting impact on fans. Now, as Charlie steps into new ventures, his departure marks the end of an era for both him and his loyal viewers.
