Tom Vaughan-Lawlor: ‘I was so vulnerable and needy and so broke and I was so emotional that he had faith in me'
He played an iconic role in Love/Hate and has starred in Avengers blockbusters, but his next act is back to his roots on stage in Dublin. Here, the Dundrum actor talks about his thespian father, going from hard times to Hollywood, and the role that changed his life Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is telling me about a brush with the paparazzi. It happened around the same time he was starring as gangland kingpin Nidge Delaney in RTÉ's much-vaunted crime drama Love/Hate. 'I remember this one time I was getting money out of an ATM and I had no funds. I can't remember why; my card was rejected or something,' he says, smiling a little at the memory. 'And it was in the newspaper, and then on telly, when they were going over the papers. And people were like, 'He's got no money.' I mean, maybe I didn't, I don't know, but some paparazzi got me with a long lens.'
