We would love to see this happen.

We would love to see this happen.

Brendan Gleeson is possibly one of the nicest men in the industry. I got to chat with him earlier this week ahead of the release of his new movie Paddington 2.

Brendan joined the second installment of the popular movie as they embarked on a new chapter in Paddington’s life with the Brown family in London.

He plays Knuckles McGinty, or Nuckle’s as he’s inaccurately referred to in the movie.

Brendan spoke about his role as the lovable Irish character and how director Paul King has been the crucial element in the success of the movie.

We also spoke about In Bruges, as it’s approaching its 10th anniversary. When Colin Farrell was asked recently what his favourite memory of the movie was, he said working with Brendan.

So, I asked Brendan the same question and he said the same. He reminisced about the first few days of filming and the fun he had with Colin. He also said that he would definitely be up for a reunion or a reboot of some form and said he would work with Colin in a heartbeat.

Here’s hoping they join forces again.

In the meantime, we’re lucky enough to have Brendan on board for Paddington 2, which has all the perfect elements for a light-hearted adorable movie.
