Eric Bana has revealed how he got into the character of an Irish man.
The Australian stars with Jack Reynor in The Secret Scripture, an Irish film directed by Jim Sheridan.
“I used to warm up with my accent by just getting drunk and rumbling around Temple Bar,” he joked.

The actor also explained Jim’s different approach to filming.
“You were going to work and you weren’t necessarily going to film. You were doing something else,” he told Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show.
“My background was stand-up before I started acting so I’m really okay with the loose approach, but you really had to just surrender yourself.
“It’s like going off to an improv class. It helps to be able to not be humiliated or embarrassed and just go with the flow.”
