As The Full Monty is set to be rebooted after 25 years FEMAIL reveals where the stars of the unlikely male stripper hit are now - including an Oscar nominee, a trainee counsellor, and a painter
Where are the cheerful would-be Chippendales now?
The new series will follow the original group of friends over eight episodes, as they navigate post-industrial Sheffield and the struggles faced by crumbling healthcare, education and employment systems.
In the 25 years since the film was released, the stars have split paths with some rubbing shoulders with Hollywood A-listers picking up Baftas and Oscar nominations, while others have pursued roles outside of acting including counselling and painting.
While some stars - including Robert Carlyle were household names before the film - it was a launching pad for many others who have gone on to star in British dramas, Hollywood films and more.
Here FEMAIL reveals where the original cast of the Full Monty are now...
