Victoria Mary Clarke has revealed how Barry Keoghan has been approached to play her late husband Shane MacGowan in a new movie about the Pogues legend.
The artist and writer who was this week’s guest on the Under the Grill podcast with Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young said the Dubliner was “keen” to get involved.
“We talked about a movie long before he died and that’s still in the works,” she told the podcast.
“We did talk to Barry Keoghan about playing Shane, and he’s keen,” she added.
“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
