Chris O’Dowd's Quotes
- [on not pitching his TV show Moone Boy (2012) to Ireland's national broadcaster RTE] A show like this is expensive. It just never came up. I don't think RTE even have a comedy department. I wouldn't know who the f**k to pitch it to.
- [re his role in The Sapphires (2012) with Aboriginal girl singers] I was really surprised by how similar Aboriginals and Irish people are, like in their mentality, particularly coming from that time [1960s]... I think it's why the character as an Irish guy works quite well, because we're all part of the same team.
- When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
- A guy who's actually self destructive is quite fun to play.
- After 'Bridesmaids,' women know who I am.
Interesting Facts about Chris O’Dowd
- Has a collection of over a thousand chocolate bar wrappers.
- Engaged to Dawn O'Porter [December 30, 2011].
- As an Irishman, he says he felt an unexpected kinship with Aboriginals while making The Sapphires (2012).
- Lives in Los Angeles with Dawn O'Porter and her dog (potato) and cat (lilu). [2010]
- In a 2014 interview on the NPR interview program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," O'Dowd told Gross that before he was an actor he worked at a call center, and one of his jobs was making solicitation calls for a well known wildlife charity. He said that the endangered animals that he was supposed to tell potential donors about--like New Guinean bats or newts from New Zealand--were unappealing to people, so he started making up fake endangered animals that he thought would be more attractive to them. One was a "tiger swan," which he described as "essentially a swan with the markings of a Bengal"; one was "some kind of flying dolphin".
- Met his wife Dawn at her 30th birthday party in Los Angeles in 2009.
- Guests at Chris and Dawn's London wedding included Brian O'Driscoll, wife Amy Huberman, The IT Crowd (2006) writer Graham Linehan and TV presenter Caroline Flack.
- When he and Dawn Porter married, instead of taking his second name she simply attached an "O" to her name (O'Porter).
