Gabriel Byrne has every reason to be enjoying life ahead of his new film

It isn’t just his new film that’s put the smile on Gabriel Byrne’s face, writes Helen Barlow

GABRIEL Byrne still possesses one of the calmest and most melodic of voices, and after 29 years of living in America, the 65-year-old still sounds quintessentially Irish.

He also has a contented demeanour about him, at least partly due to his two-year-old marriage to US producer Hannah Beth King. The couple were hitched at a low-key wedding at Ballymaloe House, Co Cork, in the summer of 2014 and have looked the picture of happiness at their public appearances since.
