Rory Cowan, who plays Mrs Brown’s hairdresser son Rory in hit sitcom “Mrs Brown’s Boys,” has left the program.

Cowan said he had been “unhappy,” and left his co-stars after a Mrs Brown show at London’s O2 Arena on Sunday.

He has worked with the comedy’s creator Brendan O’Carroll for 26 years.

“I hadn’t been happy working for the ‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’ company for the last 18 months to two years,” he said. “I feel that 26 years is enough so I decided it was time to go.”

Cowan told O’Carroll last month that he wanted to quit, but was per-suaded to stay for the latest part of the “Mrs Brown” tour.

“I told Brendan on June 16 about my decision to leave,” Cowan told the Irish Daily Mail. “That’s when I handed in my notice.

“I was supposed to leave at the end of that week, but Brendan said that would be impossible and asked if I’d stay on until the end of the London O2 gigs*. So I agreed to that.”

He said there was “no bad blood” between the pair.

“I’m not going into details about why I was unhappy. I did the fi nal show, packed my stuff into a small Waitrose plastic bag and just left the venue.”

In a statement, O’Carroll described Cowan as “a legend.”

“To all of us it feels like Ronaldo leav-ing Manchester United,” he said. “But Ronaldo went on to amazing success which I know Rory will too.

“I can’t even quantify the contribu-tion Rory has made to our success and the well-being of me and my family, not just on screen or stage but way before that as a friend and a driving force in getting us here.”

Cowan started off as O’Carroll’s pub-

licist — a job he took after being made redundant as a marketing manager for EMI Records.

He only became part of the “Mrs Brown’s Boys” cast when an actor dropped out during a tour and O’Carroll couldn’t fi nd anyone else who could learn the lines in time.

The success of the stage show led to the BBC TV series, which began in 2011. (SD-Agencies)

‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’ actor Rory Cowan quits

《布朗夫人的儿子们》演员Rory Cowan宣布退出

In a competitive situation, Universal has acquired the hot pitch “Swan Lake,” starring “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” actress Felicity Jones.

The pitch, from Kristina Lauren Anderson (“Catherine the Great”), is inspired by the classic ballet story “Swan Lake” and sparked a bidding* war among several studios. The project has Jones attached to star and “Call Me by Your Name” helmer Luca Gua-dagnino attached to direct.

“Swan Lake,” composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is one of the most popular ballets of all time. The story follows Odette, a princess that is turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. Darren Aronofsky’s 2010 thriller* “Black Swan” used the play as inspi-ration* for its story, but did not follow the storyline of the classic ballet.

This new retelling would not be a ballet but would be a tentpole fi lm based on the story told in the ballet. Universal seems like a strong fi t for this story, as the studio previously released the female-centered dark fairy tale “Snow White” and the “Huntsman.”

Mandeville Films is producing the project, and Erik Baiers will oversee it for Universal. WME repped the pack-age in the deal.

Anderson wrote “Catherine the Great,” which was No. 1 on the 2014 Black List. She is writing the limited series “Mrs. Hemingway” for Jude Law at Amazon, and has recently written projects such as “The Briefcase” for

Greg Berlanti and Casey Affl eck at Paramount, “Invisibility” at Warner Bros. and “Life and Death in Eden” for Eric Newman and Studio Canal. Anderson also was a consulting pro-ducer on TNT’s upcoming event series “The Alienist.” She is repped by WME and MGMT Entertainment.

Jones starred in the “Star Wars” spinoff* “Rogue One,” the drama “A Monster Calls” and “Inferno” opposite Tom Hanks. She previously received an Oscar nomination for her work in “The Theory of Everything.” The actress is repped by WME and Independent Talent Group in the U.K.

Guadagnino’s latest fi lm, “Call Me by Your Name,” starring Armie Hammer, was a breakout at Sundance and is set to be released by Sony Pictures Clas-sics on Nov. 24. The helmer is in post-production* on fantasy-horror thriller “Suspiria,” which centers on a balle-rina* who trains at a German dance academy and stars Chloë Moretz and Tilda Swinton. (SD-Agencies)
