Domhnall Gleeson getting fed up with people spelling his name wrong is *extremely* relatable

Domhnall Gleeson was at Sundance Film Festival last week to promote his new Netflix film, A Futile and Stupid Gesture, in which he plays one of the founders of humour magazine National Lampoon.

The Hollywood Reporter challenged the various celebrities who came their way to a game of ring toss, including Domhnall and co-stars Joel McHale and Emmy Rossum.

It was all in jest, of course, but: What an iconic line. The stuff of dreams for people who have weirdly-spelled names. Saoirse Ronan should adopt this attitude, it’d save her so much bother.

The full video is here (Domhnall’s moment comes at the end), and it’s very enjoyable if you like to watch random celebrities hanging out together:
