CIRCLE OF FRIENDS is a much-loved film here in Ireland. Who doesn’t love the bad Irish accents, the lovely female friendships, and the old shots of Dublin city?
The adaptation of Maeve Binchy’s wonderful novel was shown on TV 3 last night, and of course we had to watch it again
But did you know that it featured one of the country’s biggest broadcasters, hidden in the background?
Yeah, that’s Ryan Tubridy there in the background, looking extremely formal.
Ryan was an extra on set when he was in college, and he’s managed to escape detection for THIS long.
It was shot about 23 years ago, making Ryan about 21 years old.
Small beginnings, eh?
