John C Reilly says being in Dublin for St Patrick's Day is a bucket list item for him.

The American actor, who's been nominated for Oscar and Tony awards, will be the guest of honour for tomorrow's parade.

 

The 56-year-old has starred in movies like Chicago, Stan and Ollie and Step Brothers - and filmed The Lobster in Kerry.

John, whose father was of Irish descent, says he's delighted to be in Ireland for this week's celebrations:

"In retrospect, it's a bucket list item. It's not like something I dreamed of doing beforehand.

"I wasn't audacious enough to dream that I'd be the guest of honour for the St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin.

"One of these incredible things - like the Life of Reilly - it fell into my lap.

"A great turn of events - for sure."
