Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee has spoken of her disbelief after Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese revealed he watches the show. The Northern Irish screenwriter shared a video of Scorsese, the film-maker behind Goodfellas, Wolf Of Wall Street and Taxi Driver, speaking at an event hosted by the Economic Club of Chicago in October.
Asked by the moderator what he was watching at the moment, Scorsese, 80, replied: “I watched, the other night, Derry Girls”, before raising his fist in respect, prompting cheers from the audience. After a pause, he added: “Those nuns…”
Sharing the clip on Twitter on Monday, McGee wrote: “Excuse me while I drop dead and actually die a death.”
