00:17 >> What is it to be Irish, actually?
00:19 >> Not just having a pint of Guinness, that's for sure.
00:22 >> When you think of Ireland,
00:24 is there anything that comes to mind?
00:25 >> Beer.
00:26 >> Lapricorns.
00:28 >> The accent.
00:30 >> Potatoes.
00:31 >> Brendan Gleeson, red hair, charming, gift of the gab.
00:39 They're all Irish traits, I think.

01:23 >> Ireland's the cold Jamaican, Jamaica's the hot Ireland.
01:26 So for me, our cultures match together.
01:29 >> I'm not like desperate to be Irish.
01:31 I just am Irish.
01:32 >> Through my mother's family, through the Kellys of County Mayo
01:36 and the ancestral home in Dromerila,
01:38 we knew that the Irish connection was very solid.

01:49 to my playing James Bond.
