The Inbetweeners reunion is looking even less likely after a truly devastating update from legendary Will McKenzie actor Simon Bird.
Now 40-years-old, the TV funnyman says he isn't even thinking about the cult classic programme, and can't even remember his lines.

He went on to star in Friday Night Dinner and is now focusing on his life away from his schoolboy character, leaving it behind for good.
Alongside actors James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas, the four made an unforgettable comedy that made its mark in showbusiness.
But now Simon isn't remotely interested in giving it another go, telling MailOnline: I'm afraid to be the one pouring cold water on this but it's not happening.

"I can tell you emphatically that there are no prospects of a reunion. We'd be happy to but it's not up to us, it's up to the writers, Iain and Damon, and I know they're both very busy these days. It's not more likely to happen now than it was ten years ago I'm afraid.
"I think it was a comedy that inhabited a certain time and, well, I think I caused quite a storm on social media in a previous interview where I said it wouldn't be made now but I'm not sure it would. So no there have been no discussion about a new show or film."
Simon admitted he finds it strange when fans shout lines from the show at him in the street because he simply has "no idea what they're talking about".
Simon added that despite fans hurling quotes at him in the street, he doesn't remember his lines and has moved on professionally from the show that made him famous.
"I don't watch myself back, I can't remember the show – I don't think I've even watched it back since I made it in 2008. I just didn't expect it in a way, but there's obviously still the appetite for it and people love it," he concluded.
On his co-stars, Simon told the outlet: "We try to meet up for dinner or something but it's hard. I think we're currently planning something for March 2025. We're bonded for life. When you go through something like that you're more than friends, it's brotherly, so yeah we keep in contact with each other."
