What's Robert up to now?
He is currently starring in a new short movie, The Bigger Picture, which he is also producing.
A synopsis for the drama reads: "A single moment in time.
"A guy and a girl, recently split up from a long-term relationship get back together for one night.
"But love and loathing form a precarious mix for these young lovers as they navigate the rough terrain of life."
The movie has been compared to Normal People because of its intimate scenes and dialogue, and speaking about the project to online site HeyUGuy, Robert said: "I think that’s why it struck a nerve.
"I think that is a big reason why Normal People was such a success. We have trivialised love a little bit, I think.
"In the sense that it gets deprioritised behind living a full life, whatever that means, living a full life, but I think that’s what the two protagonists in Normal People are struggling with.
"We are supposed to do this and we are supposed to have fun, and be in a relationship and we want to do that thing but also there is this other thing and I can attest to that personally.
|It can sort of leave you wondering, Christ, was it worth giving up? It is interesting. And I think that is what the short is about."
Does Robert Sheehan have a partner?
Robert was in a relationship with actress Sofia Boutella from 2014, but the pair split in 2018. It is not known whether he is currently in a relationship.
