Top comic movie star Will Ferrell recently dropped in for a short visit to Derry and Belfast … as part of a roots-tracing venture.
He was also in Dublin to receive a James Joyce Award from University College. To underline his Irish connection he wore an Irish rugby outfit and told his delighted audience: “I’m so committed to my Irish roots that I intend to continue wearing this outfit on my return home.”
He also promised to continue to drive on the left-hand side of the road: “That’s just how committed I am!”
