Toni Collette has gushed about her former co-star Jack Reynor.
The pair worked together on Irish drama Glassland and the Australian A-lister revealed that the Dublin actor blew her away.
“I didn’t really know Jack’s work and he blew me away. That boy is…I love him,” she said.

“As an actor, you can only connect if you’re willing to be open and vulnerable, and nobody really likes doing vulnerable, it’s uncomfortable.”
“When they are, that’s when you get that unexplainable energy that audiences feel. It was like that with Jack.”
Toni spent a lot of time in Ireland during her earlier acting days and would often stay in Ireland after film projects when the trip back to Australia proved too tiring.
Bond: Toni thinks the Irish and the Australians share a similar sensibility
The Little Miss Sunshine star spent so much time here that she ended up buying a house in Co. Wicklow.
“It needed renovation, which I never did, but I pent a lot of time out there,” she told the Sunday Independent’s Living.
“I spent heaps of time here – and m ancestry is half-Irish. I just think there’s a real understanding between the Irish and the Australians, a really similar sensibility.”
