Nesbitt, a BAFTA and National Television Awards winner, lived in Broughshane, a village in County Antrim, during the Troubles but moved to London aged 19.
He admitted to only considering himself Irish when he moved to the UK and now holds both a British and Irish passport.
Nesbitt was concerned that leaving the EU would break up the broader “European family” – which he felt helped to unite the two Irish nations.
He raised concerns over an Irish customs border, while admitting it would need to be discussed at some point in the future.

As temperatures warm and spring approaches, it’s becoming abundantly clear that women are finding more fertile ground to blossom on television and streaming services.
Female leads are blooming in new series in March, April and May, with more women taking major roles behind the camera, too.
For example: National Geographic Channel’s “Genius” series, which has drawn acclaim for its “Einstein” and “Picasso” dramas, introduces its first female subject, Aretha Franklin, in March.

This weekend I got a sneak peek at
Bloodlands, devouring the first two episodes of the four-part Acorn TV/BBC One mini-series set in Northern Ireland. Folks, I will be needing the next two episodes posthaste. And you are going to be right there with me when the show is released in March.
What got me to pull the trigger on
Bloodlands is that it’s executive-produced by Jed Mercurio, the man behind
Bodyguard and
Line of Duty). The show comes from writer/creator Chris Brandon, and Mercurio’s involvement indicated that if nothing else, I’d be in for an edgy, compelling thriller and wouldn’t be bored. This was correct!
