Jonah Hill is no stranger to Ireland having visited on multiple occasions to promote his movies, and the Hollywood star has revealed that he has a soft spot for Dublin people.
Hill last visited the capital city in 2014, when he was on a promotional tour for his movie 22 Jump Street with Channing Tatum.
It sounds like he's eager to repeat the experience.
Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment in London, he said: "I want to get back [to Ireland] so bad, I really love Dublin.
"I think it's a special place, the people are really special."
The twice-Oscar-nominated star added: "Honestly, I judge a place by the people, and in Dublin the people have a really special demeanour, very self-deprecating, very funny, just good to be around."

The actor's latest role is in the comedic drama War Dogs from the director of The Hangover franchise Todd Phillips.
The film is based on a true story, and sees Hill put in a powerhouse performance as Efraim Diveroli, a young man who becomes embroiled in the world of international arms dealing when he exploits a government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on US military contracts.
Along with a childhood friend, played by Miles Teller, they begin to rake in millions of dollars and are living the high life, but it's not long before they get in over their heads.

Hill joked that one of the biggest challenges of shooting the film was having to indulge in daily spray-tans to keep up his character's sun-kissed appearance.
He said: "You'd finish a day at work and feel satisified, and then there'd be a knock at your door and this lovely woman Felicia would strip you down and spray you with tropical spray tan, It was a very humbling experience for sure."
War Dogs is out in Irish cinemas on August 26.
