Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson has revealed that he would love the opportunity to work alongside his father and brother again.
Domhnall, whose father is Brendan Gleeson, has said that he would love the opportunity, having previously worked with the pair at Dublin's Olympia Theatre ten years ago.
“I did a play with my dad and my brother in Dublin in the Olympia about ten years ago and I thought the work was stunning,” Gleeson said. “The play was absolutely insane — it was bananas and it was amazing working in Dublin every day. But getting to go out and do that with my dad and my brother every night was a very, very proud thing in my life".
“I still when I think about that; I think it’s amazing that we did it. And I’m proud of the work I did in that one as well".
In 2021, the Gleeson trio, led by father Brendan along with brothers Domhnall and Brian, reunited to work on the TV series, Frank of Ireland.
In this interview, Domhnall said that he would relish the chance to work with the pair as he “always wants to work with them”.
He said, “We’ve done it a few times and if the right thing came along, I’d always want to work with them. They’re amazing. I’d love to work with them again".
Elsewhere, Domhnall Gleeson also reflected on his more physically demanding roles, including Angelina Jolie's WWII epic, Unbroken and The Revenant, starring Leonardo Di Caprio.
He said, “I mean, I lost weight for a role in Unbroken, and that was challenging, and The Revenant was a really, physically tough shoot.
“Then I also played Bob Geldof in a thing years ago and so that was a different sort of physical transformation, but also fun to do. And, you know, doing somebody who exists trying to get their voice down, and the look down, that was all different".
“No, I met him and he was very nice, but I don’t think he ever saw the thing. And maybe that was for the best".
In other news, Domhnall Gleeson said that he was relishing the prospect of playing villain Jackie Lawson in Echo Valley, which premiered on Friday (June 13). More on this here.
