'Charlie' is a poor name for that show. It sounds like a sit-com


'The Dark Prince' or something like that would be a better name, more gravitas.

He wasn't evil.

More like a good man with tragic flaw.

It's not some kind of Batman remake. "The Dark Prince" would be a ridiculous name.

Gillien looks absolutely knackered...

Was he called that?

yeah ... that's open to debate.

I never said he was evil. But there was a dark side to him

Thargor

Still reeling from those Take That Christmas crackers, he's paid hundreds of thousands of Euro!

Flat out walking his poodle through Rathmines every morning. Doing a Carcetti

'Crook, Liar and a Thief' would have been more suitable!

What's Gerry Ryan doing on the late late?!

Oh my god.

Somebody call Vogue Williams.

edelweis

Why is Ryan grinning so broadly while Aidan Gillen is talking seriously???

CountyHurler

I was looking for an election poster for Tubridy's brother when he was going for Leinster House a couple of year's back and look what I found..



I really dont know what that JonathanAnon guy was smoking when he used to post here..

BabysCoffee

Jeez Aidan seems to have hit the Green Room hard

He kind of sounds like Bono at times

Sittingpretty

Jesus he is dull.

He may be very bright but he sounds like my 15 year old nephew trying to explain something that happened well before he was born.

He was a nasty corrupt piece of shit.

Are they taking the p1ss out of Aidan or what?

grey_so_what

The voice is so wrong....

Welsh Megaman

Gerald Kean gets everywhere

zcorpian88

Is it just me that thinks this or is Gillen putting on this twinge of an American accent?

johnny drive by

Can't wait for the follow up to this movie.. Digging out Bertie!

Lady Chatterton

I've always found Haughey fascinating, I completely disapprove of some of the things he did but his love of the arts, horse racing, the West of Ireland, the sea and all things French made him interesting (to me anyway ).

Skid X

The writer has a bit of a look of Gerald Kean about him too.

When I first heard he was doing it, I thought he will probably get the voice pretty well but he looks nothing like him... And it's actually completely the other way..

Lovely Bloke

he can't do accents, so highly doubtful

jos28

Really looking forward to seeing this but I'm not sure of Gillen's voice/accent

small town girl

What kind of a credible interviewer cuts off a guest mid-sentence to cut to a lengthy clip advertising the show?

In fairness, I've heard that Gerry Ryan was very fond of Charlie...

keith16

I like Gillen.

dublinman1990

Hozier is a nice guy to have for an interview. He has huge talent and I wish him the best of luck.

And Aidan Gillen is a fine talent in the field of acting. I cannot wait to see the drama named Charlie in January.

CountyHurler

Gillen's demeanour is very odd, very disinterested, almost in contempt... I think he's saying to himself.... "Why am I on this crap show, I'm used to be on The Wire, now I'm being interviewed by a man who looks like a piece of wire"..

But there was also another side to him...

Tubbs : He spent 15,000 pounds on Charvet shirts? Pffftt, bloody pauper....

The line of the night :D:D

grey_so_what

Gillen seems to be very reluctant to expand on anything in this interview.....

clairek6

Aidan doesnt look/sound too happy to be there!

small town girl

So, we all differ in opinion about whether Gillen is good as Charlie Haughey..... But we all agree that Tubridy is ****e as Gay Byrne??

Witcher

He lit up talking about GoT :pac:

Skid X

For an acclaimed actor, Aidan Gillen has a very dull monotone speaking voice.

He's still in John Boy's character and hasn't been able to stop!

That's Aiden's schhhhtick. All 5 foot 5 of him

There was probably another side to Joe Stalin as well.

It's easy to look back now alright and judge him but he did drag Ireland out of the dark ages and set the stage for the massive investment a decade later.

I was only a kid when he was in power but I'll be watching this for sure.

That or he just has zero charisma.

I actually think he is shy, I don't think he's aloof.

BabysCoffee

I saw Aidan Gillen in town a few months ago.

I was cycling on a Dublin Bike and as I saw him coming towards me I didn't recognize him as an actor. Instead I thought I knew him through work or something so I gave him a big friendly greeting as I passed. In fairness to him he nodded back at me!

Call Brendan O'Caroll.

D'Movie 2. Bertie's Snowballs.

Or some sh*t.

I find him like that in general... even introducing Other Voices he came across disengaged and a bit too smug. Don't get it at all.

yipeeeee

Weird interview.
