Ayo Edebiri has frequently joked that she is Irish after pretending that she lived in Ireland to prepare for a film role
The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri is not really Irish — but plenty of fans think she still is because of a running joke.
In March 2022, Edebiri, 28, joked that she was living in Ireland to prepare for her role as “Jenny the Donkey” in The Banshees of Inisherin, however, the role never existed. “I lived in Ireland for about four months and I got really in character and I was on all fours for four months and it was really painful, but beautiful, as well,” the actress explained in a red carpet interview with Letterboxd while faking an Irish accent. “And it was probably the most fulfilling part of my career and I’m so happy for everybody going to the Oscars even though I deserved the nomination more than anybody else because I was obviously a donkey for four months.
“Shout-out to my people! Shout-out to Derry! Shout-out to Cork! Shout-out to Killarney! Shout-out to Dublin!” Edebiri said while speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the preshow. Edebiri added that she appreciates the city of Dublin sending her a message on X despite not having the social media platform anymore. “I’m aware generally of my connection to Ireland. I’m aware,” she said.
