Twin actors of the hit series Shameless look completely different 21 years after starring in the Channel 4 series as they pick up a Special Mention Award at the Marrakech Film Festival
Shameless stars Luke Tittensor and his identical twin Elliott Tittensor look worlds away from their character.
As fresh-faced child actors, identical twins Luke and Elliott fast became favourites for their joint role playing Carl Gallagher in the hit TV show. Fast-forward 21 years, and both actors look completely different as they stepped onto the red carpet at the Marrakech Film Festival, where they picked up a Special Mention Award.
Standing side by side in matching black suits, the brothers both sported hipster-style beards, leaving many to look twice before recognising them from their days starring in a host of UK TV shows. Elliott continued to play Carl Gallagher while Luke landed a role playing Daz in Emmerdale.
At the time, Luke was nominated for Best Young Actor at the Inside TV Soap Awards. Sharing a picture of themselves at the film festival, Luke captioned his post saying: “@marrakechfilmfestival you were good to us, you beauties!”

He added: “To walk away with a ‘Special Mention Award’ alongside @etittensor was a blessing, especially from that powerhouse of a jury. Even prouder to see @o_hud take home ‘Best Director’. Get in!” He continued: “Massive thanks to @marrakechfilmfestival & @remi.bonhomme for giving us a platform to share the film and to see the amazing work of other creatives.”
Taking to the comment section of Luke’s post, one fan said: “Can’t wait to see this film. Looks amazing. Has two of the best actors available in the UK today for sure. ” Another wrote: “Congratulations, you two.” And a third said: “Soooo proud of you.”
Elliott and Luke also starred in House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones. Speaking previously on social media, the actor said he was overjoyed to have landed a role in the series.
He said: “A journey that was shared with so many beautiful people, cast & crew, who made the experience a ridiculously enjoyable one. None more than to work with my twin bro @luke_tittensor.”
He added: “Game of Thrones is the only series I’ve watched all the way through and we stand on the shoulders on giants!
“I hope we can do everyone involved in the original show & the fans proud by continuing the greatness that is George R.R. Martin’s work. Legend, the man sowing the seeds.”
He was also cast in Silent Witness, where he reprised his part as Scott Weston, which he first played in 2010. The actor has a long list of TV credits, including starring on Doctors, mini-series A Christmas Carol, and I Hate Suzie.
On the big screen, he appeared in Chasing Shadows and Moving On, and movies such as Dunkirk, Spike Island and North v South.
