A Hollywood actor has been spotted exploring the west of Ireland this week as he surprised staff onboard a ferry headed to one of its most famous tourist spots.
Doolin Ferries staff were starstruck at the sighting of Happy Gilmore actor Christopher McDonald as he hopped onboard for the Cliffs of Moher boat tour over the weekend.
The actor, known for his role as Shooter McGavin in the hit Adam Sandler movie, was all-too-happy to pose with staff for a photo as they were clearly over the moon at the encounter.
Sharing a photo on social media, the ferry company said the team gave Christopher a warm welcome onboard as they wrote: “It’s not every day you meet a Hollywood actor!
“Doolin Ferry’s Liam, Adrian and Niamh gave a warm welcome to Christopher McDonald, who played the villainous, professional golfer, Shooter McGavin in the comedy Happy Gilmore.
“He joined the Doolin Ferry boat tour beneath the Cliffs of Moher, enjoying the spectacular views of Ireland’s most famous natural attraction.”
Fans of the film were clearly delighted at the photo as one commented: “Go shooter!”
McDonald has been in many high-profile Hollywood movies over the years, including Thelma and Louise, Grumpy Old Men, Quiz Show, Perfect Storm and About Last Night.
