Sporting legend Brian O’ Driscoll may have hung up his professional rugby boots for good last year, but he is showing no signs of slowing down. 

The dad-of-two has this week unveiled a relaunch of his website, Brianodriscoll.com, where he will be creating exclusive content to appeal to an international audience.

Brian is now a Newstalk Rugby pundit. 

The former Ireland and Lions rugby captain plans to focus on lifestyle, health, travel and food as well as exclusive views on rugby and sport.

A new feature ‘Life of Brian’ will offer an insight into the sports star’s personal interests and other areas of the site expand upon his other business ventures, including the Ultimate Rugby App.

The unveiling comes amid news that the 36-year-old has followed his missus Amy Huberman’s footsteps onto a movie set recently.

Brian has demonstrated yet another string to his bow, choreographing a series of action-packed rugby scenes in sports comedy Handsome Devil.

Written and directed by The Stag‘s John Butler, the Irish movie stars Andrew Scott, Moe Dunford and Keith Duffy’s son Jay.

Producer Rebecca Flanagan told the Irish Sun: “We needed an expert eye for the big set-pieces to make sure they looked credible.

Those sports scenes are very difficult. You have to make sure they look perfect and Brian very kindly agreed to help us out.”

The film is due to be released next year.
