Actor Domhnall Gleeson has explained how he kept 'sane' during Covid-19 lockdown with the help of ace boxer Katie Taylor's workout routine.
Gleeson appeared on RTE's Late Late Show last night to promote the Hospice Coffee Morning fundraiser and revealed how world champ Taylor's exercise guide helped him cope with lockdown.
He said: "The only thing that got me through it was the Katie Taylor workout, which she put up on Instagram! And it's the only thing that kept me sane!
"She put two of them up - they're amazing! Again, I'm not a good advertisement for it - you can get a lot fitter than this!
"But I want to say thank you so much to Katie Taylor for that, because it actually got me through some really weird times. It was kind of amazing.
"I'm lucky I don't suffer with depression, but I just had some pretty big ups and downs and the same thing that everybody goes with [through]," he continued.
"Always when any actor, or anybody in my situation talks, it's very important to say that you understand the privilege that you have.
"But it's been a very tough time for everybody, regardless of anything. And so, yeah, a lot of ups and downs and a lot of strange moments. But thank you, Katie, for getting me through it."
Taylor - who recently defender her lightweight world title against Delfine Persoon - posted workout routines to Instagram to help her social media followers stay fit and healthy when Covid-19 lockdown hit earlier this summer.
And Star Wars talent Gleeson was one of those to benefit from the Bray boxer's expert advice.
