Mixed emotions for Elmo…
Like a lot of the Irish population last night, actor Laurence Kinlan was glued to the golf as Shane Lowry spectacularly won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.
Excited fans, both famous and not-so-famous, took to Twitter to wish the Offaly man their congratulations, and Kinlan, who’s probably most famously known for playing Elmo in the superb RTÉ crime drama Love/Hate, was an ever-present voice of support.
You can check out his Twitter feed in full here, but there was one particular tweet which caught our eye, as Kinlan promised to celebrate in a very unique and special way.
Watch this soon-to-be-nude space…
If Shane wins I'm gonna run around my estate in the nude and paint Srixon on my Balls ⛳️🇮🇪

Kinlan seems to have already channelled his inner-Will Ferrell in preparation for the revealing run, as he psyched himself up in front of his mid-August Christmas tree…
