Sally Dynevor's ready to rebel at 50

Sally Dynevor, who plays Coronation Street's Sally Webster, gives a great interview to Woman magazine and admits she's ready to rebel. Sally will be 50 in 2012 and says her very public battle with breast cancer has left her in different frame of mind as she approaches the big five-oh.

She told Woman magazine: ‘I feel as though I’m starting to enter a new time in my life,’ she said. ‘I’m really excited about the future. As I get older I want to break the  rules and be a bit rebellious. I’ve been  so good for such a long time I just want to do something naughty. I want to do as much as I can. I just want to fill every minute of every day. I was talking to some of the Corrie girls and we all said 50 is the new 40, isn’t it? Fifty-year-olds now aren’t dressing like my mother’s generation did. I still want to be wearing a leather jacket and skinny jeans. Being 50 is just a number and it’s about how you feel in your head. I’m sure there are exciting times to come.’


On staying at Corrie, Sally said: ‘I’ve had so many good stories. If my storylines had dried up I would have left a long time ago. That’s not to say I might not venture off and do a bit of theatre when I get older. There are times when I see something and think, “I’d really like to be doing that”, but the reality is I wouldn’t get home at night to put my kids to bed.  Corrie suits my life and that’s why I’ve stayed so long.’
