Anthony Boyle recently graced the red carpet in Dublin for the Netflix premiere of “House of Guinness.” Taking on the role of Arthur Guinness, Boyle portrays the third Arthur in the renowned Guinness lineage. During an engaging chat with VIP Magazine, Boyle provided insights into his character, describing him as lively and somewhat rebellious, with a jesting suggestion that the band Kneecap could perfectly complement Arthur’s energetic persona, and their music does make an appearance in the series.
Created by the mastermind behind “Peaky Blinders,” “House of Guinness” carries the weight of high expectations from fans. Boyle expresses hope that the show will join the ranks of renowned series, confidently asserting that it stands out on its own merits, even stating, “I would watch it if I wasn’t in it!”
The series delves into the Guinness family’s prominence in 19th-century Ireland, highlighting their status as one of the wealthiest families. Rooted deeply in Irish culture, the show’s creators have made an effort to feature contemporary Irish talent, resulting in a predominantly Irish cast. This move reflects the growing international recognition of Irish contributions to the arts. Boyle, who previously fronted Disney+’s acclaimed “Say Nothing,” expresses immense pride in representing and contributing to this global recognition of Irish talent.
“House of Guinness” premiered on Netflix on September 25th, promising to deliver a rich narrative infused with historical intrigue and lively performances.
