Mickey O'Neil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the fictional character, for the Major League Baseball Catcher of the same name, see Mickey O'Neil (baseball).


'One Punch' Mickey O'Neil is a character in Guy Ritchie's film Snatch (2000). He is played by Brad Pitt.[1] 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).[2]

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.[2][3]
