Early life

Personal life

Considine's personal life is private, and he once said that if he were to become a celebrity, he would "disappear and go and make shoes like Daniel Day-Lewis" (a nod to Day Lewis' sabbatical work as a shoemaker in Italy). Considine married Shelley Insley in 2002, with whom he has been in a relationship since he was 18. They have three children. Considine and his family still reside in Burton upon Trent, which is also in his hometown.

Considine, who was in his 30s at the time, reported he had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in April 2011. Despite being initially encouraged by the diagnosis, he continued to fail in social situations until doctor Andrew Barton-Breck suspected him of Irlen Syndrome. He was later diagnosed by Helen Irlen herself in 2013 with Irlen syndrome, a condition in which the brain cannot properly process visual stimuli. Since wearing purple Irlen filters on-set or as standard tinted glasses, his condition has soared noticeably.

This year, the Charlatans were able to help the Charlatans at the O2 Academy in Leicester." I didn't get stage fright. We were set. Off-camera: We filmed our history. We've all evolved. We've gotten better. It was raw at first – all we had was arrogance. At any of these pub gigs, we had a long way to go, and we learned our craft. We didn't expect a leg-up simply because an actor is in the band."

said Considine
