While some Irish actors are treated less forgivingly than others, the truth is undeniable.
Americans want to get lucky with the Irish.
With that in mind, here are seven of the best Irish actors around.

Little Women / Saltburn
Barry Keoghan
Ill start with Barry because he needs some love right now.
Sabrina Carpenter will be fine.
However, Ronan will have plenty more opportunities.

First of all: Can relate!
Second: This Irishwoman is rizzalicious.
Paul Mescal
Is it the earring?

Saltburn / Warner Bros.
The lost, innocent gaze?
Whatever the reason, Americans want to get messy with Mescal.
(Who am I kidding … Thats a very easy feat.)

Little Women / Sony Pictures
Sadly, however, Mescal is not gay just an icon.
When people shout Great Scott, they are talking about … Sir Walter Scott.
What did you think I was going to say?

All of Us Strangers / Searchlight Pictures
And then he won an Oscar for it!
This Irish skinny legend does his country proud.
Nicola Coughlan
Who among us does not love Nicola Coughlan?

All of Us Strangers / Searchlight Pictures
Or, at the very least, youve seen a meme of her inDerry Girls.
Or you just, like, are her!
We are all Nicola Coughlan!

Oppenheimer / Universal Pictures
Colin Farrell
The original Irish daddy.
What more is there to say?
Hes talented, I guess?

Bridgerton / Netflix

The Killing of a Sacred Deer / Curzon Artificial Eye
