Mondo-gate
It must have been a really slow news day yesterday. Front page of a scuzzy tabloid screamed about actor George McMahon, aka Mondo from Fair City, commiting a lewd act with the bonnet of a jeep. Apparently the couple driving said vehicle were shocked and distressed when the actor leapt up on their bonnet and proceeded to gyrate. I smell a hicks-ville couple selling a story.
The 'story' emerged in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, where George was starring in a theatre production of Conor McPherson's 'This Lime Tree Bower'. What was, in fact, a playful joke turned into a tabloid-fest and subsequently is being broadcast on radio news bulletins today. I mean, really, what about the reconciliation of society darlings Gerald and Clodagh Kean? Surely the Irish public are on tenterhooks about that story.
I know George, and I know the kind of fun-loving guy he is. His high-jinx hilarity shouldn't be confused for anything else. Keep it up George.
