Video: JOE meets Irish actors Peter Coonan and Killian Scott, stars of Get Up And Go

A fine pair of boyos

Eoghan Doherty

No money. More problems.

Written and directed by Brendan Grant, Get Up And Go is a brand new Irish film starring two of this country’s most talented acting talents, the talented Peter Coonan and the talented Killian Scott.

Did we mention they’re talented? Because they are.

Get Up And Go tells the story of Coilin (Scott), a stand-up comedian, and Alex (Coonan), a musician, two friends in their 20s living in Dublin whose dreams of artistic greatness haven’t quite worked out.

Coonan and Scott are instantly-recognisable thanks to their super performances in the hit RTÉ gangland drama, Love/Hate, and we sent resident wannabe criminal, Eoghan Doherty, along to talk to the two guys about their latest film roles.

You’ll be relieved to hear that there were no questions about fizzy orange, false teeth or forcefully-inserted pool cues, instead focusing on important matters like The Big Lebowski and the the natural body odour of musky men.

We also sat down with the pair to spin the JOE Tombola of Truth…

The film is in Irish cinemas now and you can check out the trailer below:
