LOCAL man James Larkin has described the Hollywood actor Michael Fassbender as a “gentleman” after he had a chance meeting with him.

The greenore man told the Dundalk Leader that Fassbender was in the area last week while filming a new Irish movie.

“He was filming in Greenore for a new film he’s doing. It’s an Irish language production about a hip hop rap band based in belfast,” he said.

James works as a sector manager with the Irish Coastguard and was pleasantly surprised when Michael popped into the station to say hello.

“He came in to have a look around the station so I gave him a quick tour. He was very nice in fairness I have to say,” said James.

“I asked for a photo and he was happy to oblige. Michael grew up in kerry and he said he was familiar with the Irish Coastguard.
