At 6'4" and close to 18 stone during his playing days, Paul O'Connell wouldn't be an immediate mark for most pranksters.
But one cheeky Electric Picnic attendee was not to be deterred a few years back.
O'Connell told Amy Huberman's Mamia & Me podcast the hilarious story while they recorded an episode at this year's edition of the Stradbally festival.

He recalled: "This is only my second time at Electric Picnic. I'm not good at concerts or festivals but I'll just tell this one story from my previous time here.
"I was actually here doing a rival podcast. We'd a really nice day. Jerry Flannery and Barry Murphy were with me. We were over getting food at one of the stalls.
"This guy came along with three or four of his mates, I didn't see them now.
"Unbelievable execution anyway as they somehow stuck a dildo to my forehead and it stuck on and stayed there!
"I didn't really know what was going on until it sort of flopped down in front of my face. I didn't get that angry but I tore it off and threw it over a fence so they couldn't do it to people for the rest of the day.
"But Jerry and Barry - I have never seen two people more excited or happier with the whole thing and how it all panned out so I'm actually scarred from that."
The rest of the podcast was far more PG-friendly as it's a parent-focused show with guests sharing their experiences of learning how to be a mum or dad.
As for O'Connell's immediate plans with Ireland, he figures to be involved with the Emerging Ireland tour of South Africa which is being headed up by Simon Easterby.
The 35-strong squad for the tour was released today with the first of three Tests kicking off at 12:45 pm Irish time on September 30.
Their opponents will be three Currie Cup sides – the Griquas, Pumas and Cheetahs.
Ciarán Frawley, Nathan Doak and Robert Baloucoune are among the most exciting players in the squad.
Aside from Ulster speedster Baloucoune, Caolin Blade, Shane Daly and Max Deegan are the other capped players.
