Hansard won an Oscar for "Falling Slowly" from the 2007 film "Once," in which he also starred. He also had a role in the hit 1991 movie "The Commitments" and performed in bands as a solo artist, earning a Grammy nomination in 2016.
Hansard started out as a busker on the streets of Dublin before building his musical and acting career.
His management team said he died in a motorcycle crash in Dublin early Thursday morning.

The brief pause in the war with Iran appears to be over.
President Donald Trump used blunt language to threaten Iran with further strikes in response to new Iranian attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan.
The war also appears to be spreading, with a new explosion reported in Egypt, and joint U.S.-Saudi strikes in Iraq.

For many people behind bars, the Church's presence can be a source of hope, faith, and connection. During a recent presentation on Catholic prison ministry, Bishop William Wack shared how his own years of serving in jails and prisons shaped his vocation and confirmed his belief that those who are incarcerated remain part of the Church community.

👑 THE COMING OF THE LORD: RAPTURE VS. RETURN ☁️
His Quick Appearance Vs. Every Eye Sees Him
Rapture: Happens in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (Blink. It's over!), and we are caught up in clouds. (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:17);
