He picked up his nickname "The Irish Curse" wrestling in the USA in 2002 after taking down a few opponents behind the referee's back with lethal low blows to that vital area where the sun-don't-shine! In Boston & New York The Irish Curse phrase refers to a guy who has had too much alcohol to perform in the bedroom department and was also used in that context in the movie Good Will Hunting. ... He got talent spotted for a role in violent Irish movie 3Crosses after the film's producer, Jonathan Figgis, spotted him at a title match against Drew Galloway in The Laughter Lounge, Dublin in 2006. While shooting 3Crosses Sheamus' co-star Hytham Martin forgot to pull one of his punches with a metal chain wrapped around his fist leaving a two inch gash across the bridge of his nose. Whilst choreographing & rehearsing the big fight scene for prison break movie The Escapist starring Joseph Fiennes & Brian Cox, Fiennes caught Sheamus with a full-force elbow in the mouth. The handsome actor was more shocked about the incident than a blood soaked SOS who just laughed off the blow. Ironically in the movie Fiennes is supposed to knock out Sheamus' character Two Ton's front tooth!. Read more Sheamus O'Shaunessy movies (actor)User Comments |
