Fair City star Ryan Andrews said living with scoliosis is like a “weight on his shoulders” every day.
But he has used his condition to show the kids he teaches that anything is possible through self-belief. Ryan, 29, will next be seen in the panto Olly Polly and the Beanstalk at the 3Olympia Theatre.
The actor, from Donaghmede in north Dublin, has refused to let his condition hold him back and maintains the sky’s the limit when you “manifest” your desires. He made it to the last three contestants in Dancing with the Stars in 2020, winning the gruelling Army Rangers inspired challenge Ultimate Hell Week the year after.
