Paddy Considine has responded to a comment from a critic who called him "too old" to play a boxer in his latest role in Journeyman.

The Journeyman star posted a still of himself in character to his Instagram account along with an honest and open post.

His response is giving us all some motivation on this first day back to reality after the Bank Holiday weekend to get out there and kick some ass.

"I’m apparently ‘too old’ to play a boxer according to one critic," the post read.

"Apparently having a band is a ‘vanity project’ too."

What follows is a message that will make you want to go out and follow your dreams, no matter who or what tries to get in the way.

**The following post contains strong language.**

The post has since gone viral and attracted a huge amount of support from users when tweeted by film journalist Emma Thrower.

Journeyman is showing in cinemas across Ireland now.
