Belfast alternate ending would have included an appearance from Kenneth Branagh
He would've played an older version of Buddy

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Belfast director Kenneth Branagh has revealed that he appeared in an alt💃ernate ending of th🅰e movie.
"There was one version of the film where an older version of Buddy returns to Belfast, and I’ll give you three guesses who that actor was," Branagh told The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Feinberg at Santa Barbara International 🔥Film Festival (via ), clearly referring to himself. "But in the end, the sequence just didn&rs🍃quo;t feel right."
He received the Outstanding Directors of the Year Award, which he shared with fellow filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jane Campion, and Ryūsuke Hamaguchi (who were being recognized for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:West Side Story, Licorice Pizza, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Power of the Dog, and Drive My Car, respectively).
Belfast is semi-autob🌄iographical, with the character of Buddy (Jude Hill) based on Branagh and his childhood in the Northern Irish capital in the '60s. It also stars Jamie Dornan and Caitríona Balfe as Buddy's parents, andJudi Dench and Ciarán Hinౠds as his grandparents. Belfast is up for seven Oscars at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and acting nods for Dench and Hinds.
If the alternate ending had made into the movie, it wouldn't be the first time Branagh has appeared in one of his own films – he directs and stars as Hercule Poirot in both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Murder on the Orient Express and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death on the Nile.
