Steve Carell has been spotted in the West of Ireland.

The Hollywood star was pictured on a ferry to Inis Meáin, one of the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway on Monday.

TG4 posted a photo on their X account of Carell with a fan on the Doolin Ferry out to the Aran Islands on Monday afternoon, with the caption "Go tobann: Steve Carell ar Inis Oírr" (Suddenly: Steve Carell on Inis Oírr), "grma Jack as an bpictiúr" (thanks Jack for the picture).

While on the ferry, Carell took to the helm briefly and posed for photographs with the owner's son and other crew members.

Carell also visited Coláiste Naomh Eoin, the secondary school on Inis Meáin, on Monday, where he was pictured with two teachers.

The actor then visited the only pub on the island, Teach Ósta Inis Meáin, last night, and pulled pints of Guinness.

Carrell is arguably best known for his portrayal of Michael Scott in the US version of The Office.

He also voiced Gru from the Despicable Me franchise, as well as starring in the Anchorman series.
