Actor Brendan Gleeson has revealed he was told he was “too old and too fat” to make it in Hollywood.
The Dubliner was a late newcomer to acting. He began his career as an English and Irish teacher and it wasn’t until he was 35, that his wife Mary encouraged him to pursue his acting dream.
But Gleeson reveals he was hit with a major stumbling block when he first started out when a US agent criticised his appearance.
