However at 31-years-old, the Star Wars actor revealed he doesn’t feel he has quite the experience to take on his fathers most loved roles yet.
“There’s no way I would have approached the level of work he did.”

“I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to it but in terms of parts that I’d read and I’d say, ‘Holy s**t, I would love to try that’,” he said.
Speaking to Under the Radar, the Dubliner admitted that there is no competition or jealousy within the talented Gleeson household by simply saying: “No, not at all”.
The About Time actor revealed he’s very supportive of his younger brother Brian and most recently went to see him play in The Night Alive last year.
