PICS: These throwback portraits of Ireland’s most famous actors are quite something

Paul Moore

Ah would you look at that.

Even the most famous Irish people on the planet had to start somewhere and in the case of our incredible acting talent, their first foray into superstardom required some professionally taken headshots. Shane McCarthy is an esteemed photographer that’s based in Dublin and he has had the privilege of shooting some of Ireland’s most famous faces.

Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham was just one of the people who struck a pose for the talented photographer and we felt that this throwback picture was too good not to share. In case you’re unaware, we absolutely love Cunningham because he’s too cool for school – take a look at him jokingly telling Conan O’Brien to ‘go f**k’ himself – and Ser Davs is arguably the best character in Game of Thrones.

While The Onion Knight is all too aware that the night is dark and full of terrors, this skeleton from his past has been tweeted for the world to enjoy. Maybe Ser Davos can have this hair style in the next season?

You can take a look at some of the other familiar faces here as a babyish  Colin Farrell, Andrew Scott and Jonathan Rhys Meyers all feature.

Once again, can we all just appreciate how amazing Liam Cunningham’s hair was. He definitely gave this man a run for his money with that brilliant barnet.
