Although the list of Irish American actresses is a tough list to follow, IrishCentral.com have put together a list of those Irish American actors that make women around the world go weak in the knees.

1 George Clooney

George Clooney is the kind of acting legend who transcends generations. Mothers and daughters both are in awe of this brilliant Hollywood actor who’s been on our screens since he shot to fame in his “Roseanne” debut in 1989. Since then, he’s won people’s hearts as Doug Ross in “ER”, as  Danny Ocean in all three “Ocean’s” movies and as the title character in “Michael Clayton."

Clooney’s Irishness is all on his fathers’s side. His paternal great-great-grandparents, Nicholas Clooney (of County Kilkenny) and Bridget Byron, immigrated to the United States from Ireland.

2 Ryan Reynolds

So he’s Irish Canadian, but we feel he should be allowed to slip in here. Ryan Reynolds has become a staple when it comes to comedy and action movies of late. He started on in the brilliant sitcom “Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place” and now he’s starring in hit comedies like “The Proposal” and absolutely terrifying looking movies like “Buried”.

He was born in Vancouver, Canada is of Irish ancestry and was raised as a Roman Catholic.

3 Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper has become that cheeky chappy in Hollywood who plays the characters that everyone loves to hate. From the worst best man in history in “The Hangover” to “He’s Just Not That In To You”. Now he’s branching out into what looks to be a terrifying horror “Case 39."

Cooper was born and raised in Pennsylvania and is of Irish descent on his father’s side.

4 Robert Downey, Jr.

Not only is he a brilliant actor, and cute to boot, but he’s also managed to go from the rock bottom of drug addiction, and generally being a mess, to being one of Hollywood elite again. From “Ally McBeal” to “Tropic Thunder” and now “Ironman” and “Sherlock Holmes” Downey is a class act.
