Hollywood superstars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have begun filming in Cahir Castle Co.Tipperary this week.
Locals are said to be excited and hopeful that they’ll spot one of the A-listers while out and about. It comes as they’re filming for Ridley Scott movie ‘The Last Dual‘ which has recommenced filming after being postponed amid the pandemic earlier this year.
Speaking with Tipperary Live about the buzz in the area, Cllr Moloney said:
“There have been many movies made in Cahir, the most popular is ‘Excalibur’ and the sword still remains in the stone in the Inch Field.
“Hopefully we will get a glimpse of the high profile actors in the coming weeks and create the buzz in Cahir that we have become used to in the recent years”.

It has been reported that Matt Damon is back living in a Dublin mansion ahead of filming for the movie. He was famously isolating in Dalkey earlier this year with his family as the coronavirus pandemic hit. In his time spent here, it was said that Matt got friendly with many of the locals, hitting up near-by swimming spots and taking trips to shops in the area.
Matt and Ben aren’t the only celebs in the country filming however, as both Jodie Comer and Adam Driver are staring in the film.
