Thirty year old Gleeson co-stars with Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy in Richard Curtis’ time travel romantic comedy.  

Gleeson told Chris about how seeing his father Brendan Gleeson working so hard when he was young had a big influence on his work ethic.

 ‘When he was at home he worked like a demon. It’s all the work, it’s the duck on the water it’s the legs going underneath to keep that beautiful motion on top, so I know you have to work really hard & that’s part of the joy for me.’

 He also told Breakfast about what’s next in the pipeline including a role in the upcoming 'Unbroken', directed by Angelina Jolie, for which he has to lose a lot of weight.
