Patrick Duffy, AKA Bobby from Dallas, spotted pulling pints in Westmeath pub
Two acting stalwarts from the 1980s have been spotted in Ireland as they film a documentary on Irish pubs.
The TV power couple Patrick Duffy (beloved for playing Bobby Ewing on Dallas) and his partner Linda Purl (known for her role in Happy Days as Fonzie's girlfriend Ashley Pfister) were snapped pouring a pint at Don's Bar in Moate, Westmeath, where they were filming a documentary on Irish pubs.
The couple posed for snaps in the bar, and were even seen pouring pints of Guinness out of the tap.
The pictures come just a day after Aran Island Ferries told followers that the pair had been onboard the Galway ferry service to the biggest of the famous Irish islands.
They wrote in a post on social media, alongside a picture of the couple with crew members from the ferry: 'Welcome to Inis Mór Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl!'
Duffy, who was one of the most famous faces in the world during his time on soap opera Dallas, and his partner, Linda Purl, are no strangers to Ireland and have visited many times, with Patrick even being invited as an international guest of honour to St Patrick's Day in Dublin in 2023.
Previously, Patrick, whose grandfather emigrated from Ireland to America in the 1920s, visited Ireland with Linda in the summer of 2022 to trace his own Irish roots in Kilmovee, Co Mayo for a TV show.
