Domhnall Gleeson has been over in the States this week doing promotional work for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
His pal, Love/Hate actor Laurence Kinlan has been over there too, and when an opportunity came about, Domhnall decided to mortify his buddy on live American tv.
Domhnall was appearing on James Corden’s Late Late Show, and decided to do what us Irish do best: embarrass our friends at any given chance.
During his intro on the show, Domhnall turned around and opted to intoroduce his own pal to the world: “That’s Laurence. That’s Laurence! His name is Laurence. He’s a great actor too. Say he’s one of the greatest actors in the world.”
Always up for the craic, host James Cordon done as he was told and said, “Well ladies and gentlemen, not only do we have Domhnall here, but we also have three time Academy Award nominee, never quite got the finished prize; Laurence is here everybody!”
Laurence took to Twitter yesterday to comment on the hilarious moment, saying “When your mate embarrasses you in front of America…”
Model Nadia Forde couldn’t get enough of it either, and has since commented, “This is all kinds of amazing!!!”
The two new best pals have been hanging out in America a lot this week, where the Love/Hate star also headed along with Domhnall to some press events surrounding his upcoming movie, The Revenant.
It’s not every day you get to mingle with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy – we’re very jealous.
