With the Angelina Jolie-directed Unbroken in Irish cinemas from December 26, TEN's Harry Guerin met musician-turned actor Miyavi to find out more about his role as real-life Japanese prison guard Mutsuhiro 'The Bird' Watanabe in the wartime drama.

Unbroken is based on Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.

It chronicles the life of Louis Zamperini (Jack O'Connell), an Olympic runner who enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.

His plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 1943, and he was later captured and incarcerated in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.
