Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan has revealed he was unhappy for two years before deciding to quit the hit show.
The actor played son of Brendan O’Carroll’s lead character and hairdresser Rory Brown for the final time at the O2 Arena in London on Sunday.
He told the Irish Mirror: “I got tired of it, I haven’t been happy for the last two years working there.”
“There was no row with Brendan, there was no dispute over money or anything, in fact quite the opposite, I got so well paid that it enabled me to be able to leave, I didn’t need to stay.”
Cowan’s agent had told the Mirror Online his client’s split from the hit BBC comedy and popular stage show had been “amicable”.
He said: “Touring is a young man’s game and he just wanted to take some time off to reassess what he would do with the rest of his life.”
“It was an amicable split and he has worked with Brendan for years so there was no hard feelings.”
Cowan had starred as Rory Brown since 2001 and has been working with O’Carroll since the early nineties.
