I was living at home with my mum, and she had just developed breast cancer. "It was difficult because I have a five-year-old brother and seven-year-old sister, and we were in a dark place economically."
Since then, Jack's career has gone from strength to strength and he has been enjoying every minute. "It's been mad," he said. "I couldn't even get an audition for network TV at home in Ireland. Now I'm talking about Vince Vaughn and Mark Wahlberg like they're my mates. It's crazy, man."
