Mickey O'Neil

'One Punch' Mickey O'Neil is a character in Guy Ritchie's film Snatch (2000). He is played by Brad Pitt. Mickey is a "pikey" Irish Traveller and talented bare-knuckle boxer, employed by Turkish (Jason Statham) to throw a boxing match in return for a mobile home for his mother (Sorcha Cusack). Throughout the film, Mickey speaks with a thick accent which other characters find difficult to understand, a running joke which was commented on both favourably and unfavourably in reviews of the film. To prepare for his role, Brad Pitt spent 2 weeks living with Irish travellers in Ireland.
