No imaginary friend, but O’Dowd used to talk to a brick

Hollywood star Chris O’Dowd has revealed how he regularly ended up going to school with make-up his older sisters had carefully applied while he was asleep.

But the actor has told how he has turned the tables on them by putting all their childhood pranks on screen in the hit sitcom Moone Boy. He told ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show that his own childhood is a rich source of material for his Emmy award-winning comedy set at the height of Italia 90.
