Chris O’Dowd wanted pet in wedding

Chris O'Dowd's dog was nearly a ring bearer at his wedding.

The Bridesmaids actor married long-term partner, TV presenter-and-writer Dawn Porter, last month. Chris has been quizzed about whether the ceremony had any Bridesmaids-style mishaps.

"No, but there were ongoing negotiations with our dog, Potato, to be the ring bearer," he quipped in an interview with British magazine Closer.

Chris' profile has risen significantly since appearing in the hit comedy, which also stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne.

The 32-year-old Irish star wasn't always so accepted though.

"I was really tall when I was young - I was like 6ft when I was 11. Pelican was a common nickname. I had tall, gangly legs and ambled across the football field. More length than girth," he laughed.

"I didn't have an imaginary friend but I did talk to myself a lot. And that's kind of the same thing."

    Science proves women can't resist a man with a guitar. Swoon

    You know you shouldn't fancy that penniless musician who still lives with his mum in the hope that one day he'll make it big – but he did write you that song. Be still our beating hearts. Science has proven that it's not our fault. Women are genetically wired to love a man with a guitar. French researchers at the University of Bretagne-Sud and the University of Paris-Sud sent a fittie with a guitar out into the streets to see how many phone numbers he could get from women aged between 18-22.
