The 8 people we’d love to get a hug from on National Hug Day

You know to look at them that they would embrace you like no other.

It's National Hug Day, proving that there's nothing in the entire sphere of human existence that THEY won't make a day out of. We're lovers, not fighters, here at JOE.ie though so we'll go with the theme if we must. It appeals to our bromantic side, the part of us that goes in for hug at full throttle. Proper bear hugs, none of this wet fish slap on the back bulls**t. Introducing the finest purveyors of a good man hug... Jürgen Klopp He had us at Guten Tag with his big toothy grin, talk of heavy metal football and the way he might envelop you in a massive embrace. What a man. George Wendt Look at him there with Joe Lo Truglio from Brooklyn Nine Nine, the lucky divil, two absolute heroes. Norm from Cheers would maul you like a friendly bear and not even charge you for the privilege. Too much? We don't care. Meatloaf Bring it in. Bring it. Go on. Bring it in. Brendan Gleeson You'd have to earn it with Brendan. You really would. He's not a man given easily to moments of emotional largesse, but you just that it'd be the best damn man-hug of your life at that long delayed moment of embrace. John Grant ...and the way that we might look at you... Kevin James Joe Harrington says he'd be a better fit for an article involving, "people we'd like to punch the most," but he's not writing this piece so I feel no shame in declaring my grá for all things Doug Heffernan. Ari Gold Let's hug it out, bi**h. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZvarRe-XVQ John Goodman This really depends on which John Goodman you meet. If it's Dan from Roseanne, then get it done. If it's Walter Sobchak, you're probably better off with a stern handshake and a nod. Don't go over the line - a lesson Smokey learned the hard way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjN5q9Ixen4

More quality hugging action, for the craic.
