Mel searches for his ideal Irish woman

- Kirsty Blake Knox

THE producers of ‘The Professor & The Madman’, a new movie starring Mel Gibson, are looking for a particular type of Irish woman to star in the period feature film, which is currently being shot in Dublin.

Ladies interested in working alongside Gibson must satisfy a specific set of requiremen­ts.

The ideal candidate must be in possession of a 26-inch waist, with unplucked eyebrows, no fake tan and no fake nails.

Those interested should also be a slender 8-10 dress size with a 34-36 inch bust. She should be roughly 5’3 - 5’8 in height.

The drama, which also stars Sean Penn, is set in the 19th Century and is about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. Gibson will play Professor James Murray who compiled the OED in 1857.

GOOD news: the producers of The Professor & The Madman, starring Mel Gibson, are looking to cast Irish women in the period feature film.

However, ladies interested in working alongside Gibson must meet a very specific set of requiremen­ts and measuremen­ts.

Those covered in fake tan need not apply – there are to be no plucked or threaded eyebrows, and no Shellac nails. Ladies’ locks cannot be dyed, tattoos and “body decoration” are a no-no, and a 34-36 inch bust is preferable.

Those interested should be Caucasian and a slender 8-10 dress size.

She should be roughly 5’3” to 5’8” in height, her hair shoulder-length – no pixie cuts or undercuts, I’m afraid.

The ideal candidate must also possess a 26-inch waist.

Given that the average Irish women’s waist is 32”, the producers may be waiting sometime to find their perfect woman.

Thankfully, the age range is more inclusive; anyone between the ages of 20 and 60 can throw their hat into the ring.

Providing, of course, they meet all of the above requiremen­ts.

The drama, which also stars Sean Penn, is set in the 1800s and is about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary.
