The former The Voice talent show judge plays himself in a UK Government funded short film being used to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Belfast Good Friday Agreement
NI singer Brian Kennedy has revealed his shock after discovering an actress due to play his love interest in a film was an old flame of his.The Cinemagic movie, which takes its title from Brian’s 2001 hit ‘So What If It Rains?’, is being played to delegates from over 190 countries attending the One Young World Summit in Belfast on October 2-5.
Belfast-born Brian laughed: “The weirdest thing was that I did have a couple of girlfriends very early on in my life and the actress who plays my deceased former lover, she was somebody I did actually go on little date with when I was about 15 or 16. Isn’t that bizarre? ‘So What If It Rains?’ is being promoted across the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office global network, as part of the ongoing Belfast Good Friday Agreement 25th anniversary celebrations.
Dublin-based Brian said: “I played myself before in a cameo in a movie called This Is The Sea, with Gabriel Byrne and John Lynch. I made a very, very brief appearance as a nightclub singer but I don’t speak. I am just singing. This was a much bigger role.” “I had cancer at the same time as my brother and he died after only five months. He had pancreatic cancer and unfortunately it was incurable.
He said: “The two lead lads who play the two brothers were aged 16 and 17 and I told them ‘I’ve got cheese older than you in my fridge’. “We were evacuated many times during the night from our homes into the local school. I remember seeing buildings bombed and the aftermath of that. “I never thought I would see it in my lifetime that we could find a completely new gear of the engine of Northern Ireland.
