Sabrina Carpenter may already be dating the Irish hunk: Last Sunday, the actress and singer attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party with Irish actor Barry Keoghan, adding fuel to the fire rumors about their romance.
However, whatever feelings Ms Carpenter can have for Mr Keoghan didn’t stop her from saying she had her eye on Cillian Murphy, one other Irishman, in a Vanity Fair interview filmed before the party. Mrs. Carpenter he was joking that if she saw Mr. Murphy at a celebration, she would exit with him.
After sharing a video of the interview on Instagram, Keoghan left a comment. It had no words, just two emojis: an individual with a raised hand and a clover. Another user commented: “She has a thing for the Irish, just like me.”
Keoghan, 31, and Murphy, 47, Paul Mescal, 28, and Andrew Scott, 47, have recently injected Irish energy into popular culture with their appearances in Saltburn, Oppenheimer and Everyone us, strangers.” As a result, these actors ushered in a moment of Irish crushes.
Some of them appear to have relied on their fame. Mr. Keoghan appeared on the cover of the album Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair butt naked. His body was only barely more clothed in Bumble’s Valentine’s Day dating campaign; these images, when sharing on social mediasome were drooling in the comments.
A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Mescal he was seen walking the streets of New York in brief shorts and a cropped sweatshirt that reveals lower torso hair (a patch that some suggestively call the “happy trail”).
Olamide Asanpaola (26) recently shared a post video on TikTok, wherein she marveled at Mr. Keoghan’s ability to “look directly into the camera and seem to be trying” to seduce you – except as an alternative of “seducate,” she used an unpublishable four-letter word.
Ms. Asanpaola, a musician from New York, said in an interview that Irish men like Mr. Keoghan had attractive qualities that went beyond charisma. “They just seem so progressive,” she said, and “they carry themselves with such grace.”
Bailey Kormick, 26, wrote in the caption for: video which she shared on TikTok: “Irish men just strike differently.” In an interview, Ms. Kormick, a marketing manager in Washington who’s of Irish descent, said it might need something to do with their accent. “I think it’s a little sexier and more rustic,” she said.
Some of Mr. Murphy’s admirers said they were drawn to the Oscar winner by one other feature: his eyes. Or, as Hayden Reis, a 20-year-old student from New York, put it, “those beautiful blue eyes that put you in a trance.”
Noelia Caceres, 26, who works at a mental health clinic in Miami, agrees. “Cillian Murphy’s eyes, my God,” she said, adding that he and other Irish actors have exciting charisma on screen.
Ms. Caceres noted that she has crushes on people from all walks of life and that she doesn’t fetishize the Irish, but has fun. “We love to joke,” she said.
Attention was paid not only to celebrities, but additionally to lesser-known men in Ireland. In the two years since 21-year-old James Doyle began his profession TikTok accounthe gained around 1.3 million followers by posting lighthearted videos showing snippets of his every day life in Leitrim, about two and a half hours from Dublin.
Doyle, whose red hair is styled in mullet, said he has a “large American audience.” He believes this has partly to do along with his “country accent”.
“I think the main attraction of Irish boys is that we have a sort of sense of mystery about us, mainly because they don’t understand our accent,” he said.
Sarah Geraghty, a 39-year-old communications consultant and former wedding columnist for The Irish Times, said many individuals swoon over Irish people because “they have this unfussy, almost specifically Irish modesty about them.”
“I think Cillian Murphy’s speech at the Oscars really cleared it all up,” she said, describing actor’s comments – which included shoutouts to his homeland – as understated and gracefully delivered.
Andrea Bo, a 25-year-old medical assistant from Houston, said she is certainly one of many individuals planning to rejoice St. Patrick’s Day this weekend. Before the holiday, which falls on Sunday, Mrs. Bo sent on social media platform In the caption, she called the shirt her St. Patrick’s Day outfit.
Do her holiday plans include meeting an Irish beauty? “We’re keeping our fingers crossed,” Ms. Bo said.
