Chris O’Dowd has revealed how his sisters would cake in him makeup while he slept as a child.
The Moone Boy star also told how they would deliberately not wake him up in time to wash before school – so there would be “laughing and snickering” when he arrived.
“My sister would put makeup on me, and then – essentially, when you’re the youngest of five, it’s often left to some of the elder siblings to have parental duties, like waking the young kids up in the morning.

“And so they would deliberately wake me up really late so I didn’t have time to wash or anything. And then, when I got to school, there would be some laughing and snickering.
“And I would run into the toilet and find that I had been given smoky eye or some blusher during my sleep. And when they were being particularly cruel, they would make it very subtle so it looked like it was a choice I was making.”
Now though Chris – who lost out on a Tony Award for his Broadway debut in Of Mice and Men – told NPR he now gets on “very, very well” with his siblings.
