You've got to hand it to Richard E. Grant. When visits a country, he really visits a country.
The Withnail and I star was in Dublin this week to promote his new brand of unisex perfume but he also made sure to take the time to visit some of the best sites that our country has to offer.
Monday saw him take in Trinity College.

The Long Room library in Trinity has the most unique smell. Of wood and beeswax and old books that is bottleable! pic.twitter.com/t7DToqtOKX

He also took in the Ha'penny Bridge, however his photography skills got a bit awry at this point.

Grant didn't limit the sightseeing to Dublin. A trip to Newgrange was also arranged.

Brian Cody's men may have been dethroned at the weekend but even Richard E. Grant knows that the county is still the biggest hurling stronghold in the country.
Also for any Withnail and I fans out there, you'll be thrilled to know that thirty years on, these two are still great pals.
