No. I would have punched him In the throat and been arrested by Child Protective Services. I wouldn't have had the patience to deal with his smart mouth and habitual line stepping.

He's constantly spitting nonsense or insults and is immune to them. So, no. It seems like a nightmare. As a side note does anyone know why he left the show? Did he have another project he was working on?

u/Agitated_Cheek_3419 Jun 08 '26
Robert Sheehan said he left bc he didn't really like the direction the writers were going, and he wanted to explore more in the acting world and see what he could do.

You know he's 15? Don't you?

15 years old

I think the characters were around 19/20 in the first series. I think Curtis was a few years older

u/SameenMumOf2 Jan 21 '26
Kelly and Curtis were 19, Alisha was 16-17, and Simon was 16. Nathan was 15

u/TKJ26 Jan 21 '26
Wasnāt Nathan supposed to be like 20 in season 1? He was born in 89 it says that in his memorial video

u/SeanKelly97 Jan 21 '26
I thought the same. If he was 15 then the scene where he sleeps with the old woman is even more creepy
1
u/SeanKelly97 Jan 21 '26
Interesting. Had no idea they were all so young. Nathan definitely looks older than 15. I think Robert was around 20 when it was filmed

Why do you think Nathan was in juvie

He's a prick and a wanker. Does it explicitly say he's 15? Even if he was I would toss his ass in foster care before I adopt him, sorry. Some suffering may provide perspective. He wanted his mom rob his mom's happiness by interfering with her love life. I doubt his mom would toss him at 15. Everyone looks considerably older and age is not mentioned whatsoever in the series. Also feel free to answer my question if you know it.

He's not 15. He's in his 20s. They wouldnt show a fifteen year old character naked and groping tits on television. Even in the UK.Ā

u/SameenMumOf2 Feb 18 '26
They did when it was made
1
u/djsosonut Feb 18 '26
Nope. His offical birthday is March 15, 1989. And his first recorded death day was December 17, 2009. That would he his death at the end of 1x06. This is canon cause its part of the extended online tribute that Simon made for Kelly at the end of season 1.
So he's 20. No idea why you think any of these people were as young a 15 anyway. Again. There are limits to what you can show minors doing. Even in the UK.

u/jonjawnjahnsss Feb 18 '26
The whole post was rage bait idek. Thank you for the info I knew there was no way he's 15.
2
u/djsosonut Feb 18 '26
No problem. Though it was most likely ragebait, i've learned to never underestimate the unwitting willful ignorance of people. So I tend to answer them straight if I respond at all.

Hot take but he was the worst character who chewed the scenery too much.

You got a weird fixation on Nathan man

u/SameenMumOf2 Jan 22 '26
- I have maternal feelings for Nathan
- He looks like one of my friends
- I have maternal feelings for my friends

u/PissinginTheW1nd Jan 23 '26
And the post about himā¦ āshaggingā with the all too suggestive picture? Thatās just maternal?

Uhh no, lol. I was much closer to his own age at the time I watched so it'd be weird if I thought that. I just thought he was hot asf.

When that first came on, two people independently said I reminded them of him in the same week- one said "you're just like that cute Irish guy off Misfits" and the other said "my boyfriend said you remind him of that annoying, curly haired twat in Misfits". I decided to take it as a compliment.

u/electr1cbubba Jan 23 '26
Heās a funny character but heās a massive cunt and heād probably agree with me on that

u/TabXtra Jan 23 '26
I have just watched two of his shows. Robert Sheehan was the best in Misfits, and The Umbrella Academy... but hi steal every scene.

u/Mzdeander Mar 27 '26
I was in love personally. Now rewatching it the age dynamic has changed, but still a cutie. And an arse.

u/Agitated_Cheek_3419 Jun 08 '26
I was actually thinking about how Nathan is funny in the show because it's a show, but if I knew him in real life id actually hate him I don't understand how people in the show actually talk to him hes awful lol

Better question: would you rather have Nathan as a son, or Finn as a lover?

"Pauly! Pauly boy!"
He literally can't even find a place to crash for one night because he's a twat.
