How old is Ali really?

I thought she was mid 20s

but I found this:


Ali Bastian

Born: 1974 Actress
Famous for: Not worrying too much about minding her own business in Hollyoaks
Originally hailing from Windsor, Ali Bastian is the epitome of an English rose. Having made her first forays into TV with quintessentially English dramas such as Jane Eyre and A Touch Of Frost, she went on to establish herself as a true soap siren in the Chester-based show Hollyoaks. As the spoilt, naïve and careless Becca Hayton, she splits her time between teacher training and prolonged bouts of gossiping about her neighbours in the the fictional borough

I read a magazine article about 18 months-2 years ago where it said she was 21. To me she looks like she would have been born around 1977 or 1978

i would say thet ahe was about 23-25.

well when i saw her she looked my age around 29/30

and that would make sense with the my space profile that says she is 31

Probably 1984

that would only make her 21/22 she has to be older than that

i thought she was like 25 or 26

She's 23

i must say its really hard to find info on the web! but i thought she was in her 20s

i read in a mag 2day that she's 24

remeber though the girl who plays nancy is 23 in real life

I thought we had sorted this one out - Ali is 24, she was a year ahead of Jessica (Nancy) at school. they went to the same school - as did Louis tamone (Sam Owen)

Yeh I thought she was about early 20's.

Crikey, is that how old she is in real life. There are some characters in Hollyoaks who look a lot older than their respective characters ages (eg Gilly and Rhys look a lot older than 19, Sarah a lot older than 16, Joe a lot older than 21, the Owen brothers look a lot older etc) but Id i have thought she was at most 19 in real life and would more realistically have thought 17.

How do Gilly and Rhys look older than 19?

Dunno about Rhys but Gilly has a well-lived-in face, he looks pretty haggard!!

Rhys and Gilly look around 25 I think.

wtf? I'm 20, I'm at uni, and know lots of guys aged betwen 19 and 21, and that's exactly how old Rhys and Gilly look, which is how old they're meant to be in the show...

Actually she looks older than mid 20s to be honest and Jane Eyre was made in the 1980s, so...

But actually could anyone please tell me who did she play in Jane Eyre?

Agreed. Gilly could even pass for 26 or 27. If Nancy is 23 in real life then it would be no surpirse if Rhys was 25 and Gilly even older.

Sorry, i think you lot are blind! Even if Gilly was in his early 20s I can't see how that would be true of Rhys, he looks really young.

on ali'z profile on sum website i went on it sed she was 32 she only looks like 24 or sumthin x

i think Ali looks much younger than she is

Actors often play roles of people much younger than themselves. Sarah Louise from Corrie is 22 in real life playing an 18 yr old...

...Becca & Jake were dating in real life, though I heard they recently split up, anyone know anything else?
