Domhnall seems to be a lovely man. Really talented actor.

[@Hibernia63]

Met your dad on the set of Braveheart - very nice man! You and your brother seem to have the same kind of character! Good luck to you all!

His first line in Six Shooter was, indeed, "No." LOL Always love seeing Domhnall Gleeson in interviews, he's so funny

[@K.C-2049]

always happy to see Domhnall! 🤩

[@BeatlemaccaAR]

What an actor!!!!❤

[@deeobrien5417]

Oh my gosh that’s so weird, I’m also Irish and roughly similar age and for some reason I also had a very strange reaction to ET as a child, like it really scared me, I saw maybe a brief bit of it on tv as a child and it really scared me, I didn’t watch it until a couple of years ago, like I was really scared of ET the alien itself. Strange. I think something like that gets seared into your brain a kid and has a strange affect on you, I’ve never come across anyone else who has had a reaction like that to that movie.

I was also terrified of that ugly thing to use his torch finger to give me an anal probe

[@misssmith7225]

Whenever he says "Fargo" he slips into the right accent unconsciously! So fun to hear that.

[@nondevonessuno]

I hope they make him watch about time more often so he don't get to do that anymore unconsciously or consciously 😍

[@misssmith7225]

But it is fun. Especially as Minnesota has such a uncommon accent which makes it extra fun and bizarre to hear. @@nondevonessuno

[@LoveGato]

[@ABC-sz7rd]

[@user-kt8bf5ni6t]

I genuinely thought this was a piss-take and someone photoshopped his head to be 2x the size 😅😂

[@nondevonessuno]

I can wrap a tape on my finger and tell everyone I'm married too if your wife is not the invencible and invisible Juliette Bonass I suggest a change in career ... You do look like the type who thinks arguments make the relationship spicy though.
