30 Stars with Irish Heritage (Including 1 Who Recently Made History!)

So many famous faces in Hollywood can trace their family’s roots back to Ireland.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day 2024, we rounded up 30 stars with Irish heritage. We’re pretty sure that you’ll already know about at least half of the people’s connection to Ireland.

One of them even joked that they were not Irish enough, despite having a DNA test confirm that they were more than 98% from the country. Others have been recognized at awards shows honoring their heritage or have starred in prominent Irish roles.

One even made history at the Oscars as the first Irish-born star to win Best Actor!

However, some of the celebrities on the list might surprise you. We say that because some of the celebrities themselves were even shocked to learn that they had family in Ireland in the past.

Scroll through a gallery of 20 stars with Irish heritage and see if there are any surprises on the list…
