JC Reilly Gets Trinity Honours... Begorrah! When these American comic superstars come to Ireland searching their roots, they really wear their Celtic heritage like a badge of honour... At the weekend, John C. Reilly upstaged Will Ferrell's recent wearing of the Irish rugby green when he turned up at Trinity College wearing a traditional wooly Aran sweater. Well, at least he left the pipe and flat-cap at home... John C. Reilly When John C. Reilly turned up at Trinity College yesterday he was without his inseparable 'Step Brother' Will Farrell who, has been at his side since the pair landed in Dublin about a week ago. John C. Reilly JC was in town to be made an honorary patron of the Trinity College Philosophical Society. To contrast this, his partner in crime, Ferrell, was recently given a James Joyce Award from UCD's Literary and Historical Society. John C. Reilly Japing at the rivalry between Ireland's two most prestigious Colleges, Reilly exclaimed: "It ain't James Joyce! Maybe I can get them to change the name to the Samuel Beckett Award!"
