It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and a St. Paddy’s Day post feels somehow necessary. Here’s some Irish eye candy. It tastes great and it will get you drunk.
Note: To be included on the list, the actor or actress has to be Irish-born. Being born to Irish parents doesn’t count (sorry, Michael Fassbender), even if you moved back to Ireland when you were three, Saoirse Ronan.
10. Jamie Dornan — Terrible actor, but you know you would. (I didn’t even realize that Irish people could sweat!)

9. Eve Hewson — Twice if she’s wearing her Dad’s The Fly sunglasses. “Lem-aaaawn.”
![]()
8. Liam Neeson — You can go classy Academy Award winning style, loud and rough Taken style, or quick and dirty, like the Taken clones he does for paychecks.

7. Nora-Jane Noone — Just don’t go with her into a cave (that’s not a metaphor).
![]()
6. Colin Farrell — I bet he smells like cigarettes and sandalwood and fucks like an alcoholic. It’ll be the best three minutes of your life, and then he’ll fall asleep on top of you.
![]()
5. Sarah Bolger — You’re thinking of In America instead of The Tudors or Once Upon a Time or Into the Badlands, aren’t you? No, no! Don’t cry! Not on St. Patrick’s Day!
![]()
4. Domhnall Gleeson — You’ll never have a bad sexual experience, because if he’s awkward, clumsy and unsatisfying, he’ll just go back in time and do it again. You’ll never even realize how creepy that is!
![]()
3. Ruth Negga — Trust me. After this summer’s Preacher, you’re going to be mad because she’s not number one.

2. Cillian Murphy — Whatever you do, don’t make direct eye contact. All your fantasies may come true, but you may not survive it. In fact, we couldn’t use a close-up photo for fear of bending your souls.

1. Caitriona Balfe — Even on St. Patrick’s, she’s way too much woman for any of you.
