Domhnall Gleeson Doesn't Understand Why People Are Interested in His Love Life

Domhnall has never publicly discussed his dating life or confirmed his relationship with Juliette. He said:

"I find it strange that people want to know about those aspects of my life. And then I also find it odd that I'm quite so defensive about it."

The actor further remarked that he had always disliked how the public defined people by their partners. In addition, he feels that some parts of his life are too dear to him to share with everyone.

Domhnall Gleeson Once Confessed That Being Famous Is Not His Favorite Thing

Domhnall first experienced fame when he was a teenager. At the time, his father was already a celebrity, and fans always wanted him to sign an autograph or have a chat. It was weird for him, and he and his brothers would try to protect their father.

As he got older and became a successful actor, he also experienced some fame. His first taste of fame came with his 2010 role in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1." The second significant period was after his "Star Wars" role.

The actor has never been thrilled about the celebrity lifestyle and would gladly give it up if he had the opportunity and did not have to stop acting. Domhnall said:

"Being well known in public is still not my favourite thing, but I understand how it goes, and I want to work."

Despite being famous and having his father and brothers work in the same industry as him, the actor is more grateful for his social worker mother, Mary Gleeson. He described her as amazing, a rock, and a brilliant woman who kept their creative family together.
