Happy St. Paddy's Day!

To honor the wearin' of the green we're shining a shamrock on some of our favorite actors, actresses and musicians who hail from the Emerald Isle.

Erin go bragh!

Liam Neeson

Born and raised in Northern Ireland but an internationally beloved man of mystery.

The Mega Agency

Saoirse Ronan

The most Irish name ever that everyone finally learned how to pronounce this year (FYI it's SER-sha). Ronan was surprisingly born in the U S of A in The Bronx but she moved with her Irish pants to the motherland when she was 3-years-old.

The Mega Agency

Colin Farrell

Farrell was born in Dublin. His father played football for a team called the Shamrock Rovers.

The Mega Agency

Caitriona Balfe

Caitriona, whose name is pronounced like Katrina, stars in Starz' "Outlander" where she plays an English woman in Scottland. Really, she was born and raised in Dublin.

MEGA

Niall Horan

The twenty-something heartthrob who made a name for himself in the UK band One Direction was born in Mullingar, Ireland.

MEGA

Evanna Lynch

The actress who famously played Luna Lovegood in the "Harry Potter" franchise is from a town in Ireland that we could not pronounce if our lives depended on it: Termonfeckin. Kinda sounds like a Gaelic curse word and we love it.

The Mega Agency

Fiona Shaw

Keeping it in the HP family, Fiona Shaw, who played Aunt Petunia in the franchise is from Cork.

The Mega Agency

Kenneth Branagh

Another Northern Ireland native, Branagh was born in Belfast. When the actor moved to England he said none of the kids in his new school could understand his accent.

The Mega Agency

Bono

Bono, whose real name is Paul David Hewson, was born in Dublin. He's pretty much an Irish God.

Mega

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

He might have played one of the most famous English Kings but Meyers is actually from Dublin. His real name is Jonathan Michael Francis O'Keeffe - which is about as Irish as you get.

Mega

Enya

Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin is the real name of Irish new age songbird Enya.

Mega

Sinéad O'Connor

Everyone is probably familiar with this famously bald Irish singer whose career has been steeped in controversy. Last year she changed her name to Magda Davitt. So, yeah.

Mega
Cillian Murphy

The "Peaky Blinders" star was born and raised in Cork, Ireland. He started getting involved in acting while at University College Cork.

The Mega Agency
Aiden Gillan

Lord Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish might live at the Vail but he hails from Dublin.

The Mega Agency

Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance

*Not* actually from Ireland but of Irish heritage and as far as most American's go, as Irish as ya get.
