Domhnall Gleeson has tackled Irish American chat show host Stephen Colbert for mispronouncing his name.
The Dublin actor was appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert when he good naturedly reminded the host about how he casually butchered the correct way to say his name on a previous edition of the programme.

"A few weeks ago, you had Steve Carrell on the show, and you said 'Now in this series you are with Dom-nom-nal Gleeson.'" the 39-year-old actor said.
Colbert replied: "Yes, I said Dom-nom-nal . . . "
"It was a car crash. It was a mess," Gleeson said. "Well, you can't blame me, Irish names are impossible!" Colbert protested.
However, Gleeson wasn’t letting him off the hook and quipped, "I’m not gonna take this from a Colbert!"
Saoirse Ronan has also been known to correct US chat show hosts about the correct way to say her name.
