Star Sighting in Dublin

It's taken me months to remember to post this, but I had my first star sighting in Dublin back in February. The first day Reuben and I visited Howth, we took the very crowded return train (DART) to Dublin. When we got on the train, there were only 2 available seats left... Since we'd been walking around all day, we reluctantly agreed to take them (If you have ever been on the DART, you know that there is not enough room for 4 adults to sit facing one another - - no leg room). We sit down opposite these two people, and I instantly realized I was sharing my DART space with Claire Danes. wow! She has a decent enough looking guy with her, so this was another clue that it was probably her. The whole way back to town, I am dying...trying not to stare. We got off at Clontarf and I look at Reuben like 'hey! was that??' He had no idea who she was. So I had to confirm online (of course). Sure enough! She and her boyfriend, Hugh Dancy, had been filming a movie on the Isle of Man and took a weekend break to Dublin. There were already paparazzi photos posted of them wearing exactly the same clothes as on the train. So that's that. I am still waiting for a glimpse of Bono or Colin Farrell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierce Brosnan....calling all Irish stars!! p.s. for those of you that also had never heard of Hugh Dancy, he is the much-more-than-decent looking guy in the recent Burberry ad campaigns.....

The paparazzi shot; it was easy to ID them with that orange sweater

The more posh Hugh (whoa)
