Coronation Street star Simon Gregson shares rare snap with his three sons and fans are all saying the same thing

CORONATION Street star Simon Gregson posted a sweet photo of his three sons with fans amazed by the family resemblance.

Actor Simon, 47, and his wife Emma - are parents to three young songs, Alfie, 14, Harry, 12 and little Henry, six.

The soap star, who plays Steve McDonald in Corrie, took his lads to watch Top Gun: Maverick.

The foursome stood next to a poster of the highly anticipated sequel starring Tom Cruise.

One fan said: "Omg .... they are 3 gorgeous mini mes 😍 ❤️ 💕 ... you must be so proud of your boys. Xx"

Another said: "Oh my gawd. That’s Steve MacDonald there in the middle, circa 1989!!!"

And a third penned: "Steve McDonald ! You have the cheekiest face of them all 😂"

The original Top Gun was the No. 1 film of 1986 when Simon was a teenager.

The testosterone-fueled sensation established a then 24-year-old Tom Cruise as a major star.

Simon posted a second photo of him standing alone next to the poster, and wrote: "And just like that I’m 13 again wanting to be a pilot. No one does action like Tom."

He later gave his verdict on the movie, writing in another comment: "It was amaaaazzxiiinng"

EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt penned back: "I know!! Just seen it and loved it."

Simon recently revealed he's undergone a vasectomy.

He said his wife tragically lost a baby girl due to an ectopic pregnancy at 21 weeks.

The Corrie star and his other half also endured 11 painful miscarriages throughout their journey to become parents of three.

He told the Likely Dads podcast: "I've had the snip. No, no more."

The star was heard holding back tears as he opened up about how he and Emma lost their "angel" daughter at 21 weeks gestation.

Opening up about the ordeal he and his wife of 12 years went through, Simon revealed: “We lost 11 along the way. It was horrific.”

"When Emma lost Georgia, she was 21 weeks, and what had happened was Emma's tubes were twisted, but Georgia stayed alive long enough to untwist the tubes which they said it was amazing how she survived all that and then went," he added.

“But that paved the way for Alfie you see, so we always think of her as like an angel. But then we lost loads along the way."
