Temple Bar, Dublin
my Dublin celebrity encounter.
I was waiting for The Kitchen, U2’s nightclub, to open, talking with the doorman of the club across the way. A couple approached him to ask for directions, and I recognized the guy…it was the actor Robert Carlyle from The Full Monty and Trainspotting.
I asked him if that’s who he was, and when he confirmed I told him how much I loved him in those films. He was very friendly and autographed my guide to Dublin for me.
I’m not, as a rule, easily starstruck, but I couldn’t believe my luck in meeting someone from two of my favorite movies.
