“I’ve got a younger partner as well,” Sharon, 55, told Jesse. “Well, it’s actually nine years. I said 10 years for a while, and it freaked me out too much. It is nine years.”
“I think initially I was like, ‘Oh, that’s exotic being 10 years older. I sort of got off on it. And then I was like, ‘Oh, no, that’s not good,’” she said with a laugh.
Sharon originally met Barry while starring in the movie Dating Amber together and then she cast him as Fergal Loftus on the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters.
“We met years ago doing a film together, and then, you know, became friendly,” she said. “And then a good few years later — this wasn’t on purpose, by the way — I cast him in Bad Sisters.”
Sharon says her relationship with Barry was “unexpected.”
“It’s different when you’re my age. Being single again at my age is kind of a whole thing,” she added. “It just feels like so much fun just to meet someone who you can have a laugh with and connect with. It’s surprising.”
Sharon is currently promoting an exciting new Hulu series.
