Father and son actors Laurence and Oren Kinlan were the second round of guests on the Late Late Show tonight.
Oren had recently starred alongside Eve Hewson, Jack Reynor and more in the film Flora and Son, at the age of only 15.
The transition year student told host Patrick Kielty how the cast and crew of the film got a laugh when he didn't recognise a huge star on set.

"Pierce Brosnan actually came to visit us on set but I actually had no idea who he was," admitted Oren. "So he comes into the room and everyone stands up to shake his hand and they're all star stuck.
"I stand up, I have no clue who he is, and I actually whispered to Eve and I goes, 'Eve, who is this guy?' and she goes, Oren that's James Bond! No word of a lie, I said to Eve, that's not Daniel Craig. It's fair to say that the entire crew got a good laugh out of that one."
Former Love/Hate actor Laurence chimed in, saying: "It must run in the family because when his younger brother was coming here tonight, he said, 'I can't wait to meet the Toy Show man Ryan'!"
The audience got a good laugh out of that, with Patrick Kielty also cracking up laughing.
The moment comes as former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy has said this week that he won't be returning to RTE.
“I don’t see any reason to go back there because I am starting a new beginning here," he told the Irish Sun.
“Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying, ‘Oh, that place,’ because I had 20 years of lovely experience on TV in Ireland.
“I loved working in RTE. I worked with the best in the business in RTE. I had the best team in the business and they remained steadfast and loyal, and kind, and I do miss them. I will always cherish my time there.
“Now I am going to have a great time with someone else. I have a future here. This is where I am happy. It’s all here.
“I have a new start in a new city with new colleagues.”
