12 Irish celebrities on their early red carpets compared with now
1. Saoirse Ronan
Here’s wee Saoirse attending the Venice Film Festival in 2007.
And there she is at the Tony Awards last year. Still looking preposterously fresh-faced, we see.
2. Chris O’Dowd
Here’s baby-faced Chris O’Dowd saluting photographers with a glass of wine at 2006 Brit Awards. Doesn’t he look like he’s about to deliver an ill-advised speech at a wedding?
And there’s respected actor Chris O’Dowd sporting a jazzy shirt at the Sundance Film Festival a few weeks ago.
3. Ruth Negga
There’s Ruth Negga attending the premiere of Breakfast on Pluto in Dublin’s Savoy Cinema in 2006.
Over ten years later, she’s attending the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon. Just a tad more glamorous then.
4. Jamie Dornan
There’s Jamie Dornan wearing an atrocious pair of jeans and a backwards baseball cap with his former flame Keira Knightley.
And here he is rocking a beard at the premiere of Fifty Shades Darker last week. How far he’s come.
5. Domhnall Gleeson
Domhnall Gleeson rocked up to the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One looking like a member of Razorlight.
Fast forward to 2016 and he looks like a European designer. He’s rocking a scarf and everything.
6. Colin Farrell

And here is at last month’s Golden Globes with his Mammy. How times change.
7. Cillian Murphy
Here is Cillian Murphy wearing a t-shirt that says, “I’m not a beaver” a the Cannes Film Festival. Very nonchalant, you might say.
And here he is suited up at the premiere of Peaky Blinders back in October.
8. Michael Fassbender
There’s Fassy at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. Doesn’t he look like a young and trendy TG4 presenter?
And here he is over the weekend at the DGA Awards. Suave.
9. Aidan Gillen
Aidan Gillen attending the premiere of Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. Once again looking like the lead singer of a 2000s indie band.
And there he is at last year’s SAG Awards reppin’ Game of Thrones. No skinny scarf in sight.
10. Amy Huberman
There’s ickle Amy Huberman at the opening of Gourmet Burger Kitchen in 2009.
And there she is at the launch of Striking Out in December 2016. *bows down*
11. James Nesbitt

And here he is at the UNICEF UK’s Halloween Ball in 2016. (Couldn’t resist, sorry.)
12. Graham Norton
Here’s national treasure Graham Norton on the red carpet for the Gaytime TV Awards nominations in 1999. There’s so much happening here.
And here he is last month. Damn, Graham. You’re aging like a fine wine.
