His Hollywood career has well and truly taken off – but Domhnall Gleeson isn’t interested in making the move to LA.
The Irish actor has hit the big time with roles in Oscar nominated movies such as Brooklyn and Star Wars: The Force Awakens but thinks it’s important to stay close to his roots.
“I think it’s important to keep a place in Dublin,” he said.

“There’s an importance to not living out of a suitcase — at least in my head, there’s always a home somewhere,” he told the Los Angeles Times.
“I think it’s good not to have boxes of stuff in your parents’ house. My agents would never put any pressure on me to move.
“They want me to be happy as well as getting jobs. I’m comfortable in Dublin. I like it being my home,” he added.

Despite his father being internationally known Brendan Gleeson, Domhnall revealed his childhood was very normal.
“I was very proud that he was my dad. I mean, I didn’t go around shouting it from the rooftops,” he explained.
“Braveheart came out when I was in secondary school, and people my age hadn’t seen that. So people didn’t really know him..”
