Video: An Irish ‘gorilla’ walks into a bar in Toronto, the reaction is priceless

Shane O'Flaherty gets quite the birthday surprise

Shane O’Flaherty begins his 30th birthday celebrations with a cheeky pint in the Rose & Crown pub in Toronto.

Next thing, at 5pm, a man dressed as a gorilla walks in and starts greeting people at the various tables.

It turns out that the person behind the mask is Shane’s brother Ciarán, who has come to surprise the great man all the way from Galway.

Shane’s reaction is just what you’d hope for – complete and utter disbelief.

Hat-tip to Donal Flaherty
