Where is Glen Hansard from?

BraziliaNZ · 26-02-2008 03:05AM

Some weird answers here... I remember back as far as 1991 he lived with his family in Killester, at the end of Killester Ave. My mate lived in the house behind him and Glen or someone sprayed "THE FRAMES" on the back wall, they've been going for a while. Maybe they moved there earlier than '91 though. His family are still there anyway.

Well once we figure out where he's from can we organise to have him sent back there?

AckwelFoley · 26-02-2008 03:22AM

Hes from Ballymun?

Wow.. cool.. hes a good Representative of the ppl from there..

Ballymun gets alot of bad press. Now one of the Citizens has won an Oscar!

Just to paraphrase a post I put up yesterday....congrats to Glen and Marketa. Ignore the begrudgery of the Irish, you deserved the oscars.

He always says he's from Ballymun.

Mr. CooL ICE · 26-02-2008 11:16AM

I heard he was born in a carrot field in Leitrim

He's definitely not from Ballymun. He was born in Firhouse but moved to Athy when he was in junior school. My sister dated his uncle in '76 and used to babysit Glen the odd time.

well i guess that hansard the question then.....:D

I dont care where he's from, I dont know what it is about Glen or his Frames buddies I just despise the friggin lot of them, and their fans aswell, im not gonna say "no offence" because I absolutely hate them, again, I dunno why!!!

Tar / brush, I dont care!!!!

Still pretty sure he's from Sillogue in Ballymun if memory serves correct.....

And a c*nt!

You know when you just dont like someone for nothing? Thats how I feel bout Hansard, and Brendan O Carroll, id put them in the same breath tbh.....

Well according to the linked interview he lived in Ballymun for 20 years. He'll be 38 this year so it's possible that he moved to Killester 18 years go.

The frames, and their fans, can all go bugger themselves with a jackhammer.

Killester via ballymun. Keeping it real. From U2 at the end of one road to one of the "we were rockin roll kids" at the other. He definately lived in killester early 90's. He's playing guitar on the bus in Once and singing on the dart inthe Commitments...sure way of garnering an oscar? Stick a ginger that hasn't a note in his head onto dublin public transport.

The co-star of Once is Marketa Irglova, a Czech girl Hansard first met when she was just 13 at a music festival organised by her publisher father. Despite the 18-year gap between them - she’s now 19, he ’s 37 - the couple have struck up a romance that echoes their onscreen relationship.

I hope that isn't met met.
I would like to know when this 'romance' started

Yep, he is was in 1,2,3, O with me from 83-86. He was so into ACDC it was unreal, and he had a very fine black and white leather jacket. His hair was a hell of a lot longer too.

He's obviously got around a bit too pre-committments and frames days.

Where is Glen Hansard from?
