Kerry Condon: ‘In Ireland, all my friends there have normal jobs. There's a real joy in being able to walk down Grafton Street and go and do fun things with them'

Since landing her first role at 16 in Alan Parker's 'Angela's Ashes', Irish actor Kerry Condon has shown a knack for choosing nuanced and substantial roles Here, she talks about working with Brad Pitt, shying away from the fame game and the support she gets from her hometown in Tipperary Yesterday at 21:30 Kerry Condon is only a few days into the promotional interviews for her latest film, F1, so I don't feel too bad asking the one question that she is likely to be asked a lot: 'What was it like to work with Brad Pitt?' 'I was really glad that it was at this point in my career, because it was a very big role opposite him, and maybe if I had been younger, I would have been very nervous about it,' she says. 'We had both worked with David Fincher, so we had that in common. So he was really in the moment to act opposite, which was a lot of fun and very relaxed. I knew no two takes were going to be the same.'

It's a busy weekend of sport and music in Dublin - here's what's on, and how to get there

IT LOOKS SET to be a warm and sunny weekend in Dublin – so it's a good thing that there's lots to do across the city. Between a range of concerts, GAA, rugby and even some protests, here's all that's going on across Dublin today and tomorrow. Any good concerts on? US country music star Zach Bryan graced the stage at the Phoenix Park last night, and is set to played two more busy gigs today and tomorrow. The concert today is completely sold out, but at the time of writing, there are a limited number of tickets available for the Sunday show. Those looking to head to the gig are best off getting a bus, as parking is extremely limited. All of the following Dublin Bus routes serve the park: 26, 38b, 39, and 70. Across the city, the hit Irish band Kingfishr will play a sold-out show at Fairview Park this evening. Those heading to the gig can get the train from Pearse, Tara or Connolly stations to Clontarf Road. A number of Dublin bus routes also serve the park, including the 15, 27, 42, 123 and H lines. Rolling road closures and traffic delays are expected near the Phoenix Park and Fairview Park for the concerts, gardaí have said. What about sport? Gaelic football fans are in for a treat this weekend with an important double header is scheduled for Croke Park on Sunday. Advertisement Both of the Tailteann Cup semi-finals will take place – Wicklow will face off against Limerick at 2pm, while Fermanagh clash with Kildare at 4pm. Tickets are still available for the fixtures. Those planning on heading to Croker can do so by train (to Drumcondra or Clontarf Road) or Dublin Bus. Drivers, be advised that gardaí will close a number of roads around Croke Park on Sunday afternoon. (We're well aware that there's a lot more sporting events on across the country, including the highly anticipated Donegal rally, and this is a very Dublin-centric article – but it's a particularly busy weekend in Dublin!) Protests Sunday will also see rolling closures across the city centre, due to two major public gatherings – including an anti-immigration demostration and a counter-protest. Both demonstrations are due to take place on Sunday afternoon, and those travelling to or through Dublin tomorrow are advised to anticipate rolling road closures, which will have a likely effect on public transport such as LUAS and Dublin Bus services. Gardaí and Dublin City Council will provide live traffic updates via social media. As more people are expected into the city this weekend, the public transport network as well as roads in and around the city centre will be busy - gardaí and Dublin City Council have also urged the public plan journeys in advance. Irish Rail will run extra services, including late-night trains from Heuston to Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Belfast after each Phoenix Park concert. Additional commuter trains will serve the Maynooth and Drogheda lines. Dublin Bus is diverting multiple routes (including 11, 26, 37, 38, 69) due to concert traffic and roadworks — check @dublinbusnews for live updates. Luas users should plan ahead - Heuston and Museum (Red Line) are closest to the park, though Heuston will close post-concert. Broombridge on the Green Line is also nearby.

Danny Boyle recalls 'nightmare' trying to film naked zombies for 28 Years Later

Director Danny Boyle has admitted it was a "nightmare" filming naked zombies for his new horror movie, 28 Years Later. The moviemaker has stepped back into the director's chair to helm the new horror - written by Alex Garland - 23 years after the pair's first film, 28 Days Later, hit cinemas. And Danny has revealed they needed to take extra care not to have "naked" actors on the set because they had strict rules in place to protect the film's child star, Alfie Williams. Speaking to PEOPLE, Danny explained: "I mean, if you're recently infected [with the zombie virus], you'd have some clothes, but if you've been infected for a long time, the clothes would just disintegrate with the way that you behave. "We never knew that [about rules governing nudity on set when there's a child present] going in, it was a nightmare." Danny went on to explain the work-around they came up with, adding: "Interestingly, because there was a 12-year-old boy on set, you're not allowed for anybody to be naked, not really naked, so they look naked, but it's all prosthetics... "So it's like: 'Oh my God,' so we had to make everybody prosthetic genitals'." Danny revealed he was keen to push boundaries with the elements of nudity and gore in the film and he's glad studio bosses were supportive of his plans. He told Variety: "I think one of the wonderful things about horror is that you're expected to maximise the impact of your story. Everybody wants to do that with a drama, with the romance, whatever. "But with horror, it's obviously gonna be brutal, some of it. What we loved was setting it against an innocence that's represented by the various children in it, and also the landscape, the beauty of the landscape, the nature. "Having those two forces stretches your story as far as you can go, if you maximise them. That was our principle and the studio was supportive of that, of course they were." 28 Years Later hit Irish cinemas on Friday and a fourth film in the series, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple - directed by Nia DaCosta with Danny as a producer - has already been shot ahead of a planned January 2026 launch date. However, the Trainspotting moviemaker hopes to be back in the directing chair if the final movie is given the green light. The series was created by Alex Garland - who wrote the screenplays for all the films except for second instalment 28 Weeks Later - and started with Cillian Murphy's character Jim, who awakes from a coma to discover Britain has been plagued by a terrible pandemic known as the Rage Virus, which turns those affected turn into murderous zombies. Cillian makes a brief appearance in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and is due to be given a bigger role in the untitled follow-up, but Alex Garland has revealed there's still no script for the next month. He told Variety: "The script isn't written. It's strange: There's a story, there's a plan, there's a structure... So short answer: I've got the idea, I've got the plan, but there's not a script. I'm waiting to see what happens, I suppose."
