Brendan Gleeson says that his son Domnhall won't tell him anything about his upcoming role in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. 

Domnhall has a starring role in director JJ Abrams' notoriously secretive reboot of the Star Wars saga, and he hasn't been dropping hints about the part to his dad.

When asked by TEN if he was excited to see his son in Star Wars this December, Brendan said: "I'd prefer to see him at home!"

Not that they talk about work much anyway. "He doesn't tell me anything!" said Brendan. He also joked about the non-disclosure contract Domnhall signed, saying: "Ah yeah come on. It's like a pre-nup!" (may divorce be with you - Ed). 

Brendan also spoke about topping a poll this week by Dublin cinema-goers as their favourite Dublin-born actor, saying: "That could change next week, if somebody doesn't like Suffragette it's all over. That love affair is very fickle let me tell you. No, I'm delighted obviously but I'm not sure how much it means really."

Suffragette is in cinemas on October 12.
