Steve Carell has revealed that he would be game for shooting a third instalment of the hilarious Anchorman franchise in Ireland as he and the cast members were "so embraced" when they were in Dublin.
Carell along with his Anchorman co-stars Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner met hoards of Irish fans back in 2013 when they were over for the Irish premiere of the comedy sequel.
Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment in London at the premiere of his new film Despicable Me 3, Carell agreed that the Anchorman actors have a special affinity with Ireland, especially John C Reilly who said in March that he has applied for Irish citizenship.
