He might play a hard man on screen, but Love/Hate star Laurence Kinlan had no trouble showing his softer side today as he took to Twitter to share his joy at welcoming a second son.
The 31-year-old actor, who plays Elmo in the hit series, first updated followers early this morning saying: “My baby son Ollie was born at 9:47am this morning. Mammy and Baby are doing great. Daddy is filming and can’t wait to leave set to see him.”
Later, the star shared a very sweet picture of the new arrival, explaining that he had been given a short break from set to go and visit his new baby boy.
Kinlan is already a father to Oren, aged six.
