MICHAEL FLATLEY MAY have a giant mansion stuffed with precious rhino horns, but it’s not all glam.
At heart he’s just a regular, standard-issue Irish lad.
Here’s the proof:
1. He only owns one pair of Good Jeans
2. He sometimes loves to give it loads on ‘big fish little fish cardboard box’
3. He doesn’t know what to do with his face in photos
4. So he overcompensates by being ‘gas’
5. He appreciates literature, but in all honesty he’s a bit puzzled by it at times
6. He had a deeply regrettable haircut in the 1990s
Sure didn’t we all?
7. He’s very proud of his road frontage
Why else would he casually drop a mention of “my mile-long driveway” into this interview?
8. And when he got married, he had a giant country wedding and invited everyone
And sure didn’t the bride look lovely? She did.
9. He sometimes pops his collar when he’s feeling big
10. He has two pairs of shoes: his regular shoes and his Work Shoes.
11. And finally: he cares about Irish history, but has a slightly shaky idea of what actually happened
As evidenced by this recreation of the 1916 Rising through the medium of Irish dance.
