'He would say something like that on camera and then you'd go speak to him, to his face, and he'd say, 'you know I don't mean it lads, I'm just getting the front page!' That's what he was fantastic at. But the most glaring feud was between Louis and Boyzone's Ronan Keating, who famously fired the music manager in 2003 after breaking with the band and embarking on a solo career.
'I was a very angry, violent guy and life had to change,' he says. 'I couldn't fulfil all the emptiness with all the partying and all the cars and the multi-million dollar houses. I wasn't satisfied. During the documentary, Mikey tells the story of his depression while in the band. Struggling silently, he felt obliged to remain so to provide for his daughter.
Although Mikey declined to join the rest of the band for a reconciliatory pint after filming for the documentary concluded, he and Shane have since been in touch. Shane tells the band's journey as a story of 'survival'. Hailing from a working-class family in northeast Dublin, the transition from struggling student to international superstar was stark.
'My method for hiding in the school system was very simple — it was cheating and being a sportsman. I won every gold medal for every sport possible and that's how I got through it.' 'There was so much stuff I had forgotten, so, so much stuff,' he says. 'It was so fast-paced. It was the MTV awards, then the front cover of a magazine, then selling a million records. It was madness really, the whole industry.'
