Patrick Bergin has defended criticism towards Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley’s new film, Blackbird, - saying people resent how successful the iconic dancer is.
The 64-year-old dancer and choreographer has written, directed and also stars in the spy thriller, in which he plays former MI6 operative Victor Blackley who is drawn back into a world of espionage he left behind.
The film screened at the Monaco Streaming Film Festival last year, where Flatley picked up the best actor award – but after it opened in Irish cinemas this week, people have been critical of the movie.
