Sorry to shock you, but the movie Titanic was released in Ireland 20 years ago this month *faints dramatically*

It was the biggest film of it's time, and is still considered a juggernaut in movie history due to it's storyline and the enormity of it's production. 

It won numerous awards, as James Cameron had created a star studded cast to tell the adaption of actual events, but one of the actors you are probably not aware of is a man by the name of Reece Thompson. 

Reece played the role of the "little Irish boy" who was in the poorer section of the ship, and he only had one line to say. 

To learn more about the movie, his experience, and what he's up to nowadays, the lads gave him a call over in Utah.

He's now 25-years-old but still has vivid memories of the set he walked around as a 5-year-old nipper.

He tells us of the perks his parents received, the royalty cheques he was given years after the movie was made, how he spent the dosh and some other projects he was involved in.
