Pat Kenny

But let's go back to you because you also had it in the family.

You're saying in rural Ireland when, you know, back in that time, I'm not sure that it's that much different now, but you could be interested in music, you could be interested in sport, the hurling of football or whatever, or you might be a member of the local drama group.

My goodness.

So then when your son finally decides, I want to be an actor, you're a school teacher.

Retired.

So the logical thing is to say, son, you've got to have a plan B. You've got to have, quote unquote, something to fall back on.

So you never said that to him?

You do, but it's a precarious profession.

It is.

Yeah.

And I mean, you can have your star glitter for a while and then fade.

Yeah, well, that's not happening to Paul, and it won't happen to Paul at this point.

This is a wooden desk, yeah.

Yeah, it is.

There's wood there.

Now, when you finally got to see him, I mean, I was looking at his credits, and they're enormous.

I mean, theatrical credits, television credits, and movie credits, and obviously Hamlet being the most recent thing that we've seen, and we know he's doing The Beatles at the moment as well, which is phenomenal.

That's going to take a long time, I reckon.

It's halfway through production, I think.

Halfway through.
