1. “He is Ireland’s dad.”
Just the idea of him being around is comforting.
2. “I will not let his character in The Guard change this viewpoint.”
We weren’t used to seeing Ireland’s Dad be so crass and crude, but it’s OK. He’s still Ireland’s Dad.
3. “Brendan Gleeson would give you a great hug.”
He is basically a man-sized teddy bear. His hug could probably cure the most debilitating of hangovers.
4. “I SAW HIM IN TOWN ONCE!”
You’ve told everyone you know at least three times apiece but it’s never stopped being exciting!
5. “He’s in almost every Irish movie, AND I DON’T CARE.”
It’s a sign of quality! The Gleeson Seal of Approval!
6. “Why hasn’t he been nominated for an Oscar yet? For god’s sake, put an Oscar in his hand.”
7. ”He is responsible for one of the biggest rides going. Fair play Brendan.”
The genes are strong.
8. “Are the Gleesons the Irish version of the Von Trapps?”
Look at them all there in a play together. Sure, it was a dark and disturbing play, but a family affair nonetheless.
9. “Isn’t Brian the SPITS of him?”
What did we say about the genes? STRONG.
10. “I kind of agree with Kim Cattrall, TBH.”
The actress is a big fan of Brendan, in every sense:
She’s not alone. And why should she be?
