Walliams Checks-Out Gambon's Dublin...

A little known fact about British actor SIR Michael Gambon is he's actually Irish – a Dublin lad born and bred. The Harry Potter star was in his native city yesterday showing Little Britain star David Walliams around, but ladies man Dave had his eye on things other than architecture...

Michael Gambon might seem like the ultimate British stage and screen actor - in truth he's all-Irish and lived in Dublin until he was five-years-old when his family moved to London looking for work.

Over the years he's remained a regular visitor to these shores for work and pleasure. This time Gambon is back home for month-long run in The Gate when himself and comedian David Walliams will star in the Harold Pinter's classic 'No Man's Land'...

We caught up with Michael yesterday as he strolled around Dublin's North City Centre, pointing out pubs and buildings of note to Walliams and the rest of the cast which included David Bradley. But the Little Briton seemed far more interested in other sights. Naughty.

Oh yes. Legendary swordsman Walliams' wondering eye was far more trained on an anonymous tall leggy blonde as he wandered down Abbey Street with his thespian friends...

As Gambon went on and on about Dublin and its history, cheeky David was far more preoccupied with this hot laydee as she past by... It seems his much heralded Gay-O-Meter has swung back into the straight zone on his Dublin trip.

We're not too sure about how long Walliams is rehearsing in Dublin - Pinter's play doesn't open until August 21. We assume the cast will get together this week and go over their scenes and probably relocate here nearer to the opening night for intense rehearsals.

But be sure you book your tickets now for 'No Man's Land' at The Gate. It will run from 21 August to 20 September and is set to sell out.
