Video: Sing Street’s Ferdia Walsh-Peelo Interview

Young actor/ musician Ferdia Walsh-Peelo makes his feature film debut this week in Sing Street. Directed by John Carney (Once), Sing Street follows Cosmo (Walsh-Peelo) as a young boy coming of age in 1980s Dublin. To transcend his geeky rep and get the girl of his dreams, he starts a rock band modelled after The Cure and other 80s icons.

We sat down with Walsh-Peelo to discuss how he landed the lead in the film even though he had never acted before, and what albums he would hand down to younger generations who didn’t know any better.
