Gleeson, 42, best known for About Time, now stars in the mockumentary series The Paper, a spin-off from the American sitcom The Office.

The Hollywood star said it was the way he ‘really felt at the time’ after witnessing ‘unacceptable’ treatment at a hospital.

The Oscar-nominated actor said a Dublin hospice allowed him a ‘beautiful’ goodbye with his parents that gave him ‘faith in the humanity that takes’.

Star Wars actor Gleeson is fundraising for hospice care in Ireland.

The Irish actor reveals ‘the real me’ as he skateboards around the set, writing graffiti and being chased by a security guard in the online skit.
