Mrs Brown's Boys | Star paid cast's wages - here's the HR reason

The creator and star of BBC’s Mrs Brown's Boys has revealed that he used his own savings to pay cast members after the show’s tour was axed amid the global coronavirus crisis – Metro reported.

The Irish writer and comedian, Brendan O’Carroll, said that he had given fellow stars of the TV programme ‘half the money they’d make off the tour’ after it was cancelled in light of the pandemic.  

He said he believes in ‘karma’ and is hopeful that the gesture of goodwill will help to convince the actors to return once again in the future.

“You have to realise this would be the cast’s earnings for the year. So, what I did was advance them half the money they’d make off the tour, they’ll get the rest when we actually get to play the arenas,” he told the Irish Sun.
