According to a new survey, almost a third of Irish men want Chris O'Dowd as their best friend, while 31% of women would like Amy Huberman as their bestie.

The survey, which was carried out on 956 Irish adults (78% female, 22% male), included various other Irish friendship facts, with almost a third of Irish adults (31%) admitting that they count more than five people in their closest group of friends.
41% of survey respondents also said that their longest friendships spanned over 20 years.
We also discovered that time and distance prove no obstacle to our friendships, with 42% of those surveyed saying they speak to their closest friends weekly, despite 12% living in a different country.
So basically we're a nation of people who secretly want to admit to their best mate...
