Honoured to be part of the producing team on Christopher M. Anthony’s boxing drama “Heavyweight,” starring Nicholas Pinnock, Jason Isaacs, and Jordan Bolger.

It was announced today as the opening film of the 33rd Raindance Film Festival where it will have its world premiere on the 18th of June in London.

Thank you to @raindancefilmfestival for showing their belief in the film. It's a real testament to the power of storytelling, collaboration and independent film making and a project I'm extremely proud of.

Wrapping up a wonderful month in Ireland — made even more special as it was little Orla’s first visit to the Emerald Isle. Introducing her to her heritage here has been pure magic. ✨ 🍀

Huge thanks to the magnificent @gohbelfast for being the most wonderfully welcoming, family-friendly theatre. From our first hello at stage door with the theatre’s linchpin John we felt completely looked after!

They even set up an extra dressing room for @creative_simon and Orla to use as a base while I was working, plus passes so they could come and go. Orla quickly worked out that a cheeky smile on the way in might earn her a banana from the stage door fruit bowl 🍌.

We’ve been making tour life work as a family since last July, and this is the first time anyone has offered such a thoughtful set-up.

Thank you Grand Opera House — you made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy your magical city. 💚

“What a gentle grey day.” 🤍

A phrase my Irish grandma used to say — such a wise, positive way of seeing the world.

Yesterday in Dalkey by the sea was exactly that — soft skies, salty air, slow wandering before my evening show. Feeling very grateful for these adventures as a family.

Check out Heavyweight's 4⭐ review from Empire 🥊✨

As one of the producers, I couldn’t be prouder of what this team achieved. This film was built on trust, collaboration, and a huge amount of hard work from an incredible cast and crew — many of whom went above and beyond to make it happen.

Big thanks to Empire for the support, and massive love to everyone who poured their talent, time, and energy into this film. 💛
