Speaking on her time shooting here, she remarked to the Times: ‘I felt completely at home in Ireland. Except that doing the Irish accent was hard. It’s a hard accent to master and one that – even I can hear – often ends up being done horribly.

Doing it was terrifying. Especially being on set with real Irish people.’Rooney most recently featured in the Orion Pictures drama Women Talking from writer-director Sarah Polley, while Kate is best known for starring in the FX series Class of ’09 and is up next in the sci-fi thriller The Astronaut.
