Domhnall Gleeson has said that he was embarrassed by his father Brendan Gleeson's nudity in Braveheart.

Speaking to The British Independent newspaper, The Peter Rabbit star said: "I remember when they all raised their kilts and flashed their arses at the camera,"

"It's so funny, the stuff that matters to you when you're young and in secondary school. I was so worried. I was like (makes a very serious face), 'Oh no. This is - no. Oh God.'"

The father and son have worked together in two Harry Potter films and Six Shooter and Calvary.

Speaking about working on Calvary together in 2014 he referred to their differing approaches to deciding on how to work on a scene.

"I thought, we wouldn't be having this conversation if I wasn't your son. I need to do this my own way and arrive with my own ideas,

"So we turned up on the day and we didn't talk. And then we did this brilliantly horrible scene together, where we had to knock seven shades out of each other emotionally. And I loved it."
