Brendan O'Connor · “I think I'll miss being given out to by Brenda Fricker the most!” · 8 Aug 2026 podcast

And this was, I think that explains...

That kind, it took a lot of courage to do that difficult something.

Yes.

I mean, I've thought a lot about it in the last week.

And, you know, I'm beginning to think that without it, she may not have been...

you know, the actress she was and that in Ireland, you know, people like because it's such a small country that within a community are all gorgeous to each other and, you know, speak well of each other and whatever.

And that Brenda's kind of bluntness sometimes and being a bit of a fabulist, you know, where she would

kind of tell you tales and you think now Brenda but the one thing which I think sums her up as an artist apart from the friend was her gifts were you know

She didn't really appreciate them.

Yes, if she was such a great snooker player, when she walked into the hall with the bill or cue, the guys would go, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, here's Brendan.

Yeah, totally, completely.

One of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a film which was nominated for five Golden Bears was a film called Oots, where Brenda dives into the Danube and swims at night in the moonlight with 12 geese swimming behind her.

nothing said because the geese couldn't talk it's just beautiful and brenda was such an amazing swimmer that because the geese couldn't understand the word cut when it was a cult brenda would swim underneath their bodies underwater i mean she had a lot of gifts

I think I'll maybe miss most being given out to that I'm working too hard.

Yes, yes.
