Steve Carell has described Ireland as “the most welcoming country” he has ever visited after reflecting on a holiday here last year.<\/p>\n
Speaking to RT\u00c9 2FM’s Emma Power, the actor said his experience in Ireland was “fantastic” and praised the warmth of the people he met.<\/p>\n
“The nicest people I’ve ever met,” he said. “As a whole, Ireland was the most welcoming country I\u2019ve ever been to.”<\/p>\n
Asked if he had a favourite place, Carell singled out Dublin, while adding that he had travelled widely around the country.<\/p>\n
“Oh my gosh, I loved Dublin,” he said. “We criss-crossed the country.”<\/p>\n
He also joked that one of the highlights of the trip was “just hanging out with the sheep”.<\/p>\n
Carell was speaking while promoting Rooster, HBO\u2019s new comedy from Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence and writer Matt Tarses.<\/p>\n
Set on a college campus, the series follows a successful author played by Carell and his complicated relationship with his daughter, played by Charly Clive.<\/p>\n
Clive described joining the show as a “wild” experience and said the cast bonded very quickly during filming.<\/p>\n
She said she and Carell developed a “lovely relationship” on set and that their chemistry comes across in the series.<\/p>\n
