One of the Derry Girls is 31-years-old and, yeah, we’re confused too

This is a complete surprise.

Since Derry Girls popped onto our screens two weeks ago,  it's become a must-watch. A half-hour episode is just not long enough. We've previously written about how it's hard to recall a sitcom or comedy drama of any sort that has managed to establish itself and main characters so quickly -  and how Brits should cherish watching it. The age of the characters is a major part of what makes the show great. But now we've discovered something that's pretty mind blowing:  Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare in Derry Girls, is 31. https://twitter.com/Pandamoanimum/status/951588531427790848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.her.ie%2Fceleb%2Fone-derry-girls-31-years-old-totally-shook-383834 Seriously. According to her IMDB, Nicola was born on January 9, 1987, in Galway. She was previously studied at the renowned Oxford School of Drama and this is her first major role. As Danny Dyer would say, it's proper freakin' my nut.
