My on-camera interview with Irish actress Jessie Buckley

Irish actress Jessie Buckley talks about her recent film, Wild Rose
Irish actress Jessie Buckley has been working solidly for the last 11 years, but her 2019 film, Wild Rose, is sure to send her career into the stratosphere.
Born in Kerry, Jessie Buckley first burst onto our TV screens in the Andrew Lloyd-Webber West End talent contest I’d Do Anything
when she was 18. Today, she’s an acclaimed actress with a CV boasting award-winning films and television series, including Beast
and BBC series War & Peace. April 2019 saw her showcase her vocal and acting talents in a starring role that is sure to not only move audiences, but have viewers sitting up and taking serious notice.
I caught up with the Irish actress in Dublin to talk about Wild Rose, a film that sees Buckley play a single Glaswegian mum freshly released from prison who has a passion for country music and notable talent for singing, but two children who depend on her, and her dreams of going to Nashville to become a country singer are at war with her emotional ties to home.
