He is a true inspiration, and I am totally honored to have been asked to direct his life story.%u201d There is also a possibility that, after Irongate is released, they may adapt it for television with a streaming channel like Netflix in mind.As if all the other accomplishments weren%u2019t enough, he has started a company called Magnificent Films, so he%u2019s also an entrepreneur. %u201cI%u2019m working mostly with an absolute genius named Tony Waddington. Tony is the creator and writer and executive producer on Irongate. Tony is an amazing song writer with over 60 number one records across Europe and the world, he wrote songs like %u201cSugar Baby Love%u201d and many of Tom Jones%u2019s hits, and many more.%u201dWhile he is always cast as the villain or the thug, we not too surprisingly find out that Sean Cronin is, in fact, a big ole softie. How do we know? %u201cOkay you%u2019ve got me there, yes, I am a big softie.%u201d That%u2019s how. We asked him. He also has a reputation for being %u2018hilarious%u2019. While that doesn%u2019t sound very diabolical at all, he does concede that %u201cI have a very dark sense of humor; anything dark and twisted makes me laugh! Traditionally Spike Milligan, Peter Jay, Monty Python, Dave Allen and Dave Chapelle are among my favorites. Luckily I%u2019m not really a villain, I relax at the end of the day with a very nice glass of expensive Rioja [that%u2019s a wine they make in Spain. I googled that] and hang out with my two little girls. Nowadays, I%u2019m just a movie villain, although back in the day I was a little bit naughty, to say the least!%u201d He is a single dad to Molly (seven) and Georgia (six), which he says, %u201cis singularly the most rewarding thing in my life. Filmmaking comes a %u2018very%u2019 close second, though.%u201d Thug life, indeed.
