Diarmuid O'Sullivan rocks eye makeup & a cape in Game of Thrones-style hurling video

But don’t worry – it’s all part of the GAA’s Freestyle Hurling campaign.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT tough-guy sports stars and the acting world. Think Eric Cantona, Vinnie Jones or Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Well, now there’s another ‘Rock’ who’s taken a fancy to it.

Legendary Cork hurler (and footballer) Diarmuid O’Sullivan features in a new GAA promo video that’s teeing up the return of the organisation’s Freestyle Hurling competition.

There’s little in the way of dialogue (and by little I mean none) but there are plenty of capes, flicks, tricks and close-ups of the Cloyne man looking very mean and menacing.

We’re not sure the eye makeup suits Sully all that much though.

    Fair play to him, sounds like a roller-coaster ride but he did it and enjoyed it.

    Great article.

    Riveting article, and just goes to show how incredibly hard it is to make it at the top level. We may slag off football players, but for every Mo Salah there’s a hundred Mc Governs breaking their neck trying to make it.
