With his big screen debut, the Irish horror-comedy Stitches, opening in cinemas today, Friday October 26, comedian Ross Noble has said his experience making the film in Ireland was "amazing".
Directed by Conor McMahon, Stitches tells the story of Richard 'Stitches' Grindle (Noble), a clown who comes back from the dead to exact revenge on those who caused his fatal accident.
Speaking to RTÉ TEN about filming the movie in Wicklow, Noble said: "I was actually really spoilt for a first proper feature film. It couldn't have been a more fun thing."
He continued: "There's so many things that I got to do on this film which are not just things to do in films, but things to do in life that were on my bucket list.
"For example, to appear as a character whose hand comes out of the ground like that [shoves hand up in the air] - massive tick. To have your face cast by the prosthetics people and to sit there and have a complete perfect replica of your face staring back at you is amazing. All the prosthetic make-up and having me face slashed to pieces - amazing.
"How many people get to see what they would look like if their nose was rotted away?! 'Here's a knife, there's an umbrella - throw that through a girl's face'. It was just so much fun.
"The crew was just brilliant - all the actors, all the crew. It was just the most relaxed [thing]. There were no egos."
"Actually," Noble added, "that probably means that I was the dick! That's what they say, isn't it? 'If everyone's nice then you're the dick'!"
