Michael Flatley said he wants the world to see the beauty of Ireland through his new movie and prove he is more than ‘just a dancer’.
The Lord of the Dance and Riverdance legend, 64, has written, directed and also stars in spy thriller Blackbird, which opens in cinemas on Friday 2 September.
Speaking at the star studded red carpet in Dublin’s Lighthouse Cinema for the Irish premiere this week, he said the film is both an ode to his late mother, and his love of Ireland.
