Irish-American actor John C Reilly has become a convert to the game of hurling after gaining a love of the sport during his visits to Ireland.
The Chicago native, who was recently guest of honour at the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin city centre, compared the drama of hurling to the theatre.
Reilly, who is also an accomplished musician, likened the drama of a hurling match with the stage as it feels ‘really dangerous and thrilling’ to watch.
