WATCH: The super-talented stars of The Young Offenders chat skimpy jocks, awkward meetings and their hilarious new film

Justine Stafford

They’re pure langers, like…

With the release of the fantastically funny Irish film The Young Offenders in cinemas, we met up for a quick chat with the main actors behind the hilarity, Alex Murphy, Chris Walley and PJ Gallagher.

The Young Offenders tells the story of two young Corkonians with a very bad plan.

Like, really bad.

Based on the real life event of 7 million Euro worth of bales of cocaine washing up on a beach in West Cork, this pair of pups hatch the not-so-smart plan to go and find a bale, sell it, and live richly happily ever after.

Sure what could possibly go wrong?

Well, a lot actually.

Earlier this week we brought you an excerpt of our interview with the stars and now we’ve even more for you to enjoy.

From discussing their first appearance in a major role, to how it feels knowing a full audience will get to witness them standing in their jocks, we really did discuss it all with the guys.

You can check out the full interview for yourself here and see why this really is one movie not to be missed.

If that interview wasn’t enough for you though, check out the film’s official trailer and then immediately start legging it to the cinema to see the full thing…
