Bob Dylan loves to binge watch British soap opera 'Coronation Street'.
The iconic singer/songwriter has told how he is a huge fan of the goings-on in the fictional northern English town of Weatherfield in the long-running UK series, and he also has a penchant for watching 'Father Brown', a series about a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective.
He said: "I recently binged: 'Coronation Street', 'Father Brown' and some early 'Twilight Zones'. (sic)"
Bob - who was born in Minnesota, US - admits the programmes make him feel "at home", and he much prefers to watch the likes of 'Corrie' and 'Father Brown', which features 'Harry Potter' star Mark Williams as the titular character, than "foul-smelling or evil" shows.
He added to The Wall Street Journal newspaper: "I know they’re old-fashioned, but they make me feel at home.
"I’m no fan of packaged programs or news shows. I never watch anything foul-smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting, nothing dog a**."
Bob is not the only legendary rocker who loves 'Corrie'.
Sir Mick Jagger made a quip about 'Coronation Street' serial killer Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) during the band's Old Trafford gig in Manchester in 2018.
He told the crowd: "We went to the Northern Quarter. We went down the Curry Mile and I think I saw Pat Phelan. He was eating some papadums!"
Just days later, pop star Katy Perry admitted she watches 'Coronation Street' and 'EastEnders' when she visits the UK.
Speaking to fans at her show at London's The O2 in June 2018, she said: "I am obsessed with this country.
"I fall in love with the English very easily.
"I like to watch 'Coronation Street' and 'EastEnders'."
