Rachel McAdams’ Co-Star Jokes She Doesn’t Deserve Walk Of Fame Star

Domhnall Gleeson playfully roasted his former co-star Rachel McAdams this week while celebrating her latest professional achievement.

Gleeson was on hand Tuesday to witness McAdams receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In a cheeky speech during the ceremony, however, the Irish actor jokingly shared the many reasons he felt McAdams wasn’t worthy of the honor.

“Life, and more importantly Hollywood, has taught me that you are not supposed to have it all,” he said. “It is not fair to be everyone’s favorite person on-set and the best actor in the room. It is selfish of you to be a devoted mother of two, putting family above all else, and a huge movie star continually knocking it out of the park commercially and artistically.”

“It’s not OK to be a Hollywood star and a character actor, to be gifted at comedy and drama, to be unrestricted by genre or expectation and to be the loveliest person I’ve ever met in my life ― that’s not how we do things,” he continued, laughing. “So, yeah, I don’t think you deserve it.”

Fortunately, McAdams seemed to take Gleeson’s comments in jest, as the two shared a heartfelt embrace moments later.

Gleeson, best known for his portrayal of Bill Weasley in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” co-starred with McAdams in the 2013 romantic dramedy “About Time.” He’ll next be seen in the comedy “The Incomer,” which premieres this week at the Sundance Film Festival.

In addition to Gleeson, McAdams was fêted by actor Dylan O’Brien and director Sam Raimi. The “Mean Girls” actor’s longtime partner, filmmaker Jamie Linden, also made a rare public appearance at Tuesday’s ceremony. The couple shares two children.

McAdams returns to the big screen later this month in “Send Help,” directed by Raimi. She plays Linda Liddle, a corporate employee who must fend for her life alongside her sexist boss, Bradley Preston (O’Brien), after the two are stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash.
