Hot Irish Actors

20 Hot Irish Lads We'd Let Steal Our Pot of Gold

62 Reactions 176 Shares Print

German-Irish sexpot Michael Fassbender is my personal favorite Ireland-hailing actor, but there are plenty of steamy Irish lads to share. With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, we got to thinking about other Hollywood hunks with similar Irish blood and that supersexy accent. Some are prim and proper, but others have some serious scruff happening. Whatever your eye candy preference, we've got you covered with some gorgeous actors who hail from Ireland.

We know Irish hottie Jamie Dornan for his role as Sheriff Graham in Once Upon a Time, but besides acting, he's also a musician and a model, having founded an Irish folk music label and modeled for Calvin Klein. He even dated Keira Knightley for a couple of years! Let the swooning continue with his lead role as Christian Grey in next year's film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey.

I gave up looking at Colin Farrell pics for Lent. (It's not going so well.)  :)   I've never been the same after seeing Michael Fassbender in Hunger.  I'm madly in love.   Excuse me, itsn't Mark Wahlberg Irish?   What about Chris O'Donnell?  Josh Hartnett? Matt Damon?

Colin Farrell & Jonathan Rhys-Meyers are beyond sexy, good looking, & hot!! In addition their work is top notch. Liam Neeson & Daniel Day-Lewis are at the top of their craft and good looking men but I don't consider them drop dead gorgeous.
