Pictures: Happy Paddy’s Day from Chris Hadfield, Dan Carter and the lovely Georgia Salpa

You can expect St. Patrick’s Day greetings from a whole host of famous people on Twitter today and here’s an early sample from three of our favourites.

With an earlier start than the rest of us, All-Black legend and probably the best player in the world Dan Carter was quick to wish his followers a happy Paddy’s Day and only a couple of days after posting evidence of his prowess with a hurl and a sliotar (see above), he showed his fondness for another staple of Irish life on his Instagram account this morning.

Chris Hadfield was already one of our favourite people before going up even higher in our estimations when he dabbled in a bit of Gaeilge a few weeks back and he was at it again this morning, even if the get-up he was wearing is just a bit ridiculous.

Closer to home, meanwhile, Georgia Salpa is guaranteed our attention pretty much every time she posts a picture to Twitter and her latest effort this morning managed to be sexy and patriotic at the same time.

Happy Paddy’s Day everybody!
