Video: Chris O’Dowd tells Conan about the ingenious, long-term prank he’s playing on his baby son

Funny man

Conor Heneghan

A tad evil perhaps, but pretty damn funny all the same.

Chris O’Dowd, as we all know well by now, is a very funny guy and that sense of humour extends not only to the small and big screens, but to his home life too.

Last night, the Boyle native was a guest on Conan O’Brien and when Conan asked him about how he’s adapting to being a parent, he relayed details of an elaborate prank he’s playing on his 15-week old son Art, the fruits of which won’t be evident for many, many years.

Chris explains it better than we ever could so rather than spoil the surprise we’ll let you watch it for yourself above; suffice to say that young Art is going to be in for a mighty (if temporary) shock at some stage during his teenage years.

Well played Chris.
