As brought to our attention by cool football mag Mundial on Instagram, here’s Reynolds in Paddy’s Pub – the make believe bar his character owns – wearing the Celtic home top of 1995-1997:
The artist behind the artwork goes by the name Zooligan on social media, and their portfolio covers similar works reimagining famous TV stars and celebrities in retro kit.
Among them is Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David kitted out in a late ’90s Parma top, David Brent and Alan Partridge wearing retro England tracksuits, and The Sopranos’ Chris Moltisanti wearing a Napoli shirt while presumably chilling in Satriale’s.
As for DeVito’s character in It’s Always Sunny, he makes no mention of being a Celtic fan in the show… but he does own an Irish bar.
The complete opposite of how he carries himself in reality, DeVito’s character is, like the rest of the cast, hardly likeable. But the antics he and co-dependent on-screen character pals – Mac (Rob McElhenney, Charlie (Charlie Day), Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) – get up to are often hilarious.
First launched in 2005 on US television channel FX, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has since been on air for more seasons than any other American live-action sitcom, running for 16 seasons so far.
If you don’t watch the show, you’ll likely recognise McElhenney as the other guy who now owns Wrexham alongside Hollywood actor, Ryan Reynolds.
Slow news day? Of course it is, we’re in the throes of another international break. But hopefully this puts a smile on your face.
