WATCH: Irish comedian gets Channel 4 series and takes the piss with The Rock and Kevin Hart

Colm Boohig

This is not bad work, if you can get it.

You might recall a couple of months back that we shared a clip with you of young Irish comedian Seán Burke interviewing big name celebrities, while making it as awkward and, as a result, brilliant as humanely possible.

In fact, it was a pilot commissioned by Channel 4 called Hollywood Hijack, and now Seán has been given the go ahead to do five more episode. Unbelievable stuff.

Here, he’s interviewing two of the biggest movie stars on the universe in the shape of The Rock and Kevin Hart for their new flick Central Intelligence, and it makes for pretty unforgettable viewing.

As Seán himself explained to JOE; “I got to meet The Rock and Kevin Hart for five minutes so naturally exposed them to my gloriously pale, Irish physique.

“I also gave The Rock a photo of The rock of Cashel. Kindred Spirits, I suppose?”

That’s all we’re going to say, other than, just look at The Rock and Kevin Hart’s faces at around the 1:30 mark.

Priceless.
