Not who you want to be showing up during a date.
We've all had some nightmare first dates, but one experience from
Domhnall Gleeson might just take the cake, and it involved a very familiar face.
The Irish actor appeared on the Late Late Show Valentine's Special to chat to
Patrick Kielty about his new show Alice and Jack, and gave a brief glimpse into his romantic life with a gas tale from his younger years.
The Dubliner revealed to Kielty that a first date of his was unexpectantly interrupted when he went to the cinema with a girl, only time find himself face-to-face with his dad - Brendan Gleeson.
Domhnall Gleeson recalls hilarious first date experience involving his dad
The 40-year-old detailed the experience on Friday evening's show: "That was strange. It was like my first date. I was too young to buy the ticket and I was very nervous about getting in.
"The amazing girl that I was with had to buy the tickets for both of us, which is not a good look!" Gleeson recalled.
"And then I bought way too many sweets and I was really nervous. And then one of the trailers was for a film my dad was in and I remember seeing his big face looking down at me and feeling so terribly judged. Like it was absolutely awful."
