He then reminisced about singing the Irish folk tune She Moved Through the Fair at the Alma pub in Windsor, back in March 2023, while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with his friend Craig McEvoy.

“Craig, the oldest son, sings in this Irish band,” he noted of his old pal he grew up with.

“An amazing band. Anyway, I was visiting the family because the father had passed,” he explained.

“We had an amazing night celebrating him in the Irish way on Saint Paddy’s Day.

“That is how you do Paddy’s Day in Windsor, by the way,” he said, laughing.

This is the second celebrity to touch on their love for Ireland this week, with Ed Sheeran even sharing how deeply he connects with the country on a cultural level.

Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Ed admitted: “I class my culture as Irish. I think that’s what I grew up with.”

We love to see it!
