O'Donovan brothers charm audience on Graham Norton Show

French actress Cotillard admitted she could hardly understand a word the Skibbereen pair said.

“Nothing, not a word. I understood ‘since’,” she said.

The refreshingly matter-of-fact approach charmed the audience, such as when fellow Corkman Graham questioned them about strategy.

“‘Tis a fairly simple sport, like,” said Gary, to wild laughter.

“There’s a start line and a finish line … people do complicate it like. Yer man says go at the start and there’s a hooter at the finish.”

They also talked about how the “pull like dogs” phrase they’ve become famous for now follows them around.

Paul even revealed meeting a man who had the phrase tattooed on this forearm!

Never change, lads…
