‘Transforme­rs’ star Jack saves the day for students

- Melanie Finn

ACTOR Jack Reynor ‘transforme­d’ the day for school students when he paid them a surprise visit.

The Wicklow man (25) spoke to pupils at St Raphaela’s Secondary School, Stillorgan about working in the film industry.

The ‘Transforme­rs’ actor said it gave him fond memories of Belvedere College, where he “had a blast”.

“I went to secondary school in Belvedere College and I actually miss it quite a lot. It was a simpler time and I enjoyed the lads,” he said.

“We used to have good craic together so like I was saying, it’s nice to come in and just be in an environmen­t with a bunch of young people who are having the same kind of experience,” he said.

Now based in Ireland for a few months as he eyes up his next big project, the IFTA-winning star also gave his thoughts on the Oscars Best Picture fiasco.

“That was insane, that was madness. I think that was the fault of PwC, that was a big ball drop on their part,” he said.

The star, who is engaged to model Madeline Mulqueen, was at St Raphaela’s as a guest of honour for AIB’s Build A Bank event after being approached by a friend in the bank.
