Congratulations to BelfastMovie's Kenneth Branagh on his goldenglobes win for Best Screenplay! Watch what he had to say about caitrionambalfe & Jamie Dornan 💫💃 FocusFeatures reshingbull GoldenGlobes Belfast

As Ma and Pa Branagh, Balfe and Dornan dance quite a bit in the film, and Branagh reveals that this dancing was in fact true to life, as his mother loved to dance. He goes on to say that he grew up in a time where there weren’t phones and you got only a few TV channels, so dancing was how they entertained themselves.
Balfe and Dornan both have recently said they were mildly terrified having to learn how to dance for the film. And by mildly, I mean they were fully terrified. When asked if Branagh sat in on any of their dance rehearsals, he admits, “No I didn’t want to scare them, that can be quite intimidating.” He had them rehearse on their own together , because when they did it on set, he wanted everyone, including himself, to be surprised.
