We can’t quite believe it’s been ten years since JohnJoe Brennan warmed our hearts on The Late Late Toy Show.
When he was just 8-years-old, Roscommon native JohnJoe won over the nation when he sweetly discussed his love of clocks with Ryan Tubridy.
Now an 18-year-old studying law in Paris, JohnJoe can’t believe people still remember him.
Speaking on the The Late Late Show Unwrapped, which you can watch here, he said: “The fact that it developed into such a phenomenon was completely unexpected, and very very moving, I must say.”
“What’s very important to me is the kindness that people demonstrate…they take the time to remember and that means a lot, it shows it meant something to them.”
JohnJoe also revealed he’s still “addicted to clocks”.
He said: “It’s really something that’s in my blood, thanks to my Granddad, mainly.”
“It’s still a passion and I like to restore clocks in my spare time still, whatever spare time I have now. I’m now a very happy and very busy 18-year-old law student.”
