Top Gear star Matt LeBlanc has made the most of his trip to Dingle – earning his stripes to become a local.
Stopping by the Dingle Distillery, the actor got a taste for the Kerry whiskey and even posed for a snap with the team.
“We’re delighted that @Matt_LeBlanc @TopGear_BBCA stopped by to the distillery for a visit yesterday #Kerry #topgear,” they wrote.

The fun didn’t stop there for the American star as proceeded to pull pints in local Kenmare bar Florry Batts and take photos with a number of fans outside.
The Hollywood A-lister was in Kerry to film for the new series of the renowned BBC motor show with Chris Evans.
As part of filming, the presenters were welcomed to Dingle with an exhibition match by a local GAA club – which ended with Matt hilariously receiving a red card.

Fitting right in, the Friends star caused a stir earlier in the week after he gate-crashed a hen party.
Blown away by the Wild Atlantic Way, BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans took to his social media to declare the route as the “best road” he’s driven on.
“Best road I’ve ever driven on. Had no idea it existed. A great great day,” he captioned an idyllic snap.

The TV stars took the Ring of Kerry by storm driving a 2016 Rolls Royce Dawn and 1976 Corniche.
Although a short but sweet visit, we’ve a feeling the lads will be back.
