This would be UNREAL!
Barry Keoghan is in talks to play Pogues legend Shane MacGowan in a film.
Speaking on the the Grill podcast with Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young, Shane's wife Victoria Mary Clarke said: We talked about a movie long before he died and that’s still in the works,”
The writer told the podcast. “We did talk to Barry Keoghan about playing Shane, and he’s keen,”
“Barry would be good,” Kevin agreed, although Victoria admitted it was a “little bit soon to be thinking about that stuff” following the death of Shane last year.
“I know there’s a couple of people who want to do tribute things. I’ve been working with a lot of different musicians on a tribute album that I find really, really healing,” she added.
