Jack transforms littered Glen Dingg

Jack Reynor couldn’t hide his disgust at finding litter strewn around Glen Ding in Blessington last week and shared his disgust with his Twitter followers.

The west Wicklow man and star of ‘What Richard Did’ and ‘ Transformers: Age of Distinction’ was out for a woodland walk with his fiancée Madeline Mulqueen when they stumbled across illegally dumped rubbish littering the countryside.

In a video he posted on Twitter, he said: ‘so we’re out spending our afternoon up in Glen Ding in Blessingtong cleaningg upp all these cans and bottles that are lying around, which is pretty disgusting. We were out for as bit of a stroll and we found all this and it’s really horrible so we’re cleaning it up.’

He went on to share photos on Twitter of black bags of rubbish, commenting ‘ this is really disgusting and upsetting.’

Reynor also launched an appeal for anyy members of the public willing to volunteer some time and assist with the clean-up he and Madeline were carrying out, sharingg their location with his 12.3k followers.

‘Anybody who wants to come up and give us a hand getting all this s*** back down, here’s our location.’

The couple ended up collecting ten bags of rubbish whichh they disposed of in a recycling centre.

Ian Davis, Project Manager of PURE, sent the actor somee tweets complimenting him on his clean-up efforts.

‘Once he started tweeting his disgust, the whole thing wentt viral. It’s not often you have a Hollywood star highlighting the dumping taking place in Wicklow. He tweeted that he had collected ten bags and I tweeted back that PURE had collectedd 200 tonnes of rubbish this year. I hope his interaction will makee people more aware of the impact dumping has.has.’
