There have been a lot of rumours swirling around former EastEnders star Rob Kazinsky.

Particularly around the fact that his character, Sean Slater, seems like a VERY good fit for the role of Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace)’s missing son, ‘Luke’.

But is there any truth to the claims?

Or is it just a case of wishful thinking on the behalf of the soap’s fans?

Well, so far, nobody has commented on the idea of Sean Slater returning to Albert Square to meet his biological mum.

But Rob Kazinsky, speaking in a new interview, has revealed that he doesn’t have particularly happy memories from his time on the soap.

"This show made me a particular agoraphobe," he told The Mirror. "I couldn't walk down a street or look anyone in the eye.

"It made me afraid to see people and there is an ugly side to fame. People would walk up and punch me in the head.

"They'd walk up to me and hit me or they’d throw stones when I was in the street, or I’d be having dinner with my parents and they were either hurling insults or bread rolls. It was a fun time."

The 32-year-old hunk added that being afraid to go outside caused him to gain a lot of weight.

"That was when I found World of Warcraft, 18 hours a day, just sat there in my pants ordering Chinese food," he said.

"I put on about 50lb."

The actor has never made a secret of his passion for the game, previously tweeting that he was a longtime player with 463 days /played and several max level characters.

But it hasn’t all been fun; the actor also let slip that his love of the game once caused a girlfriend to dump him.

“It would all be really really sad and pathetic if I wasn’t doing this movie, which has totally made it OK,” he joked at Comic Con.

“She left me because of Warcraft. And now I’m like, ‘Well, psht, who won this round?'”

Rob is currently promoting the new Warcraft movie, in which he plays an orc named Orgrim.

And it honestly looks as if Rob is going to win big time, as a teaser of the film was met with a HUGELY positive response at Comic Con.

Anyone else tempted to go along and see it?
