Chris O'Dowd was on The Jonathan Ross Show last night looking fresh faced and tanned from his recent stint in LA. However, it is far from LA he was reared, as he knows all too well. Chris - who was on to talk about the new series of Moone Boy - 'opened up' about a childhood spent tortured by his older sisters.

Turns out the poor young fella couldn't get a night's sleep, without the fear he would wake up with makeup on him - he would then go off to school completely unaware of it. He said: "When they were being particularly cruel they would make it really subtle - just some shadow on the eyes and stuff, to make it look like it was a decision I had made."

What a terrible, ingenious, awful, hilarious thing to do...
