Amy Huberman why all the fawning over her?

bigpink · 03-01-2017 4:17pm #1

She is always in the media.I watched her new show last night and imo it was poor.Saw her in that other Rte series recently and again not great but people do be fawning over her
She juat seems to go over me

tigger123 · 03-01-2017 4:22pm

She's totes amazeballs!

GLaDOS · 03-01-2017 4:22pm

It's because of who her husband is.

That got her a break I'm sure, but she's a good actor in her own right.

hatrickpatrick · 03-01-2017 4:24pm

She's incredibly nice, and therefore I'd imagine great to work with. And of course, she's hot.

diomed · 03-01-2017 4:24pm

Because she is brilliant.

dudara · 03-01-2017 4:24pm

She's pretty, famous, funny and married to one of our rugby legends. She's written novels and starred in TV shows, which is more than I've done. Plus, she seems to be a fairly classy lady.

She's not 100% my cup of tea but I wish her success. No need to be tearing someone down.

VinLieger · 03-01-2017 4:25pm

Really enjoyed her in Threesome, should have gotten more than 2 series, also she was great in Your Bad Self from way back which also had Donal Gleeson.

Shes also kinda hot and pretty funny on twitter.

HeidiHeidi · 03-01-2017 4:25pm

Haven't seen the latest series yet, but she's gorgeous (IMO), seems to be a genuinely nice, nay lovely, person, is married to another famous, really nice person.

Why wouldn't she make the news?

And I don't agree that there's all that much "fawning" over her - she has a new series out, of course she'll be in the news at the moment!

bigpink · 03-01-2017 4:28pm

I havent seen muxh of her stuff bar the 2 shows i mentiones but she seems to get non stop coverage

jimgoose · 03-01-2017 4:29pm

Totes ledge. Dubes for Hubes!

Maximus Alexander · 03-01-2017 4:30pm

I like her well enough. She's decent in stuff and comes across as a nice enough sort. Not bad to look at either. I know she's Irish and doing well for herself so I should instinctively dislike her whatever, but she seems all right in my book.

Irish Guitarist · 03-01-2017 4:32pm

I have absolutely no idea who she is so I did a Google image search. I still have no idea who she is.

bigpink · 03-01-2017 4:34pm

I have missed all her other acting so didnt realise she was that good and well known.
Thought it was a p.r push over the new series alright

Ahh, when you didn't get any joy with image search you should have clicked Web (beside Images).. you'd have got sorted then..

It's crap. Like if Marian Keyes wrote Ross O'Carroll-Kelly. "Tara Rafferty", in the name a' Cheeses... :pac::pac::pac:

bigpink · 03-01-2017 4:36pm

I hear everyone saying she is so funny thats what i meant in fawning.nothibg to do with her acting profession

Peregrine · 03-01-2017 4:38pm

The Indo does fawn over her a lot but she's really nice in person. Best of luck to her.

Ages ago there was an interview with her and her mother (can't remember what station or interviewer) and the two of them came across as hilariously funny and very, very nice people.

So maybe that's why so many people say she's so funny - she really is!

03-01-2017 4:40pm

Overly pushed by RTE/independent in whatever she's in - is it just me or do a lot of her shows get cut a lot after the first season ...: not a great actress but her PR team do a good job on her

judeboy101 · 03-01-2017 4:40pm

Because she's good looking enough that you'd want to ride her but not so good looking that you wouldn't have a chance.

RhubarbCrumble · 03-01-2017 4:47pm

I follow her on social media and she's a very funny lady. Not afraid to poke fun at herself and comes across as being pretty down to earth.

Mr. Incognito · 03-01-2017 4:51pm

It's Ireland.

We promote our own celebrity culture.

She gets on with the right people in the D4 circle over in Montrose so she gets a TV series.

The Series is terribly written and poorly acted and is a very amateurish rip off of the Good wife, which itself was a terrible series and poorly written and acted.

I won't watch it and I dont read the Indo which is a rag but best of luck to her.

WWN hit the nail on the head http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2017/01/03/irish-independent-confirms-amy-huberman-has-won-9-oscars-for-new-rte-tv-drama/?utm_source=WWN_Facebook_Page&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=Social_Link&utm_content=Article

Lia_lia · 03-01-2017 4:55pm

I've never watched her tv shows or films.

I do follow her on Instagram though! She has nice clothes.

She's also quite funny on Instagram. Uses lots of puns. She seems like a nice person and a good laugh.

Yellow pack crisps · 03-01-2017 4:56pm

Ah here the good wife has some incredible acting and the writing is superb!

bigpink · 03-01-2017 4:56pm

Why do people follow her then

The_Valeyard · 03-01-2017 4:59pm

No interest in her it her show, not my thing.

But hey,

Well done to her for getting somewhere and making a name for herself rather than just be the woman married to Brian.

To hell with the begrudgers

Yellow pack crisps · 03-01-2017 5:01pm

She won't get much roles out of the spotlight so actors in general need to be constantly relevant in the news and media! I agree she is fawned over but I think that's because people genuinely like her. I'd say she is good craic and not afraid to get her hands dirty

Trent Houseboat · 03-01-2017 5:01pm

Is she really always in the media?

She's in little of the media I consume? I saw an ad for her new show on TV over Christmas, but it was in the pub and the sound was off, so she hasn't caused me any offence.

You aren't reading the Indo on a daily basis by any chance are you OP? I don't think it's recommended to subject your eyes to that more than once or twice a week.

Wanderer2010 · 03-01-2017 5:03pm

Shes very lucky- she has it all when so many people in this country have sweet fcuk all. She has a rich and famous boyfriend, a chance to act in RTE dramas, a big mansion of a house, a healthy child and is good looking. I hope she thanks her lucky stars every night.

HiGlo · 03-01-2017 5:03pm

I quite like her for all the reasons mentioned above. She's really funny, not afraid to laugh at herself, seems really down to earth and has kept herself consistently working and diversifying for the last decade or more.

Wouldn't be a huge fan of her acting skills but I thought she wasn't too bad in her new show.

corner of hells · 03-01-2017 5:10pm

She's got a decent sized mouth too , not one of skinny little pinched up mouths that some of those young ones have nowadays.

That'll be down to what you are reading/watching (Irish celebrity shoite I'd guess), I haven't heard anything about her in at least 2 years but I purposely avoid the dross that would spend time discussing such people.

Alf Veedersane · 03-01-2017 5:17pm

Being in the media through ads for a show she's in and people saying she's witty isn't tantamount to the country fawning over her.

It's just that RTE are promoting the show and people think she's funny and likeable.

Jaysus would you stop. Her husband is famous/rich because he was a savage rugby player. You don't need a big house/kids & good looks to thank your lucky stars every night.

RobertKK · 03-01-2017 5:21pm

Good luck to her, not a fan of her, but well done on her success.

wherearemykeys · 03-01-2017 5:24pm

I follow her on Instagram and she is very witty and likeable!! I watched her RTE programme the other night and thought she was ok. There are better Irish actresses who could have gotten the role IMO

What's wrong with the other one?

That's a bit of a silly thing to say. Yes it might be true, but that's her job.

Now I have no idea what job you have, but lets say you are an accountant who has your own practice and you sell insurance and mortgages etc and employ 200 people. Oh and you have run 15 marathons and cycled around the world all for charity etc etc....

Now, Amy Huberman can say that is more than she has done

I have no doubt she (and her husband) have worked very very hard to wind up where they are today.

Laois_Man · 03-01-2017 5:35pm

I was annoyed by her a bit a few years ago with the determionation of Irish media (all of it) to turn her and BOD into our own version of The Beckhams or Brangelina - wasn't there even a "Briamy" buzzword around them at one stage (or something like that)?

But since BOD retired, all of that died down.

She's not an absolute stunner and she's not ugly either

I have no idea what her acting ability is like but I'm sure I'll find out eventually. I did come across a film a few days ago where she was playing an Irish girl and put on an exaggerated Irish country accent. Now that was annoying, so I only watched it for 5 minutes.

Just cause you didn't like it, that doesn't mean it was terrible.

+1. It didn't get 7 seasons, 156 episodes, win a Golden Globe and heap of Emmys and other stuff cause it was terrible and poorly written and acted :rolleyes:

All you need these day's to get somewhere is a Mid Atlantic accent,good looks ability to sell your soul to the divel, ruthlessness and be a street angel.
You also have to be able to put yourself out there and rub shoulders with the elite.

Any gob****e can do it.....
