Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara surprised and delighted Corkonians when they started sharing pictures from the city, most notably some photos they shared of them enjoying chips from Jackie Lennox’s chipper while in Fitzgerald’s Park. Now, Manganiello has explained his description of that moment as being in “the land of my ancestors”.

In a post on social media today, he revealed he and his brother recently discovered their family can be traced back to Cork.
