Irish pair who missed flight home end up having pints with Selena Gomez and Brooklyn Beckham

Missing a flight can be a stressful scenario, whether you’re headed away or returning home - nobody wants to sit around an airport for hours on end waiting for the next departure.

An Irish man, Tony McCabe, ran into that exact situation while on holiday in LA and decided the only thing to do was to head to a pub to kill some time before catching another flight home to Ireland.

It was this decision that put him in the company of some huge celebs, with whom he ended up playing pool with over a few pints.

LA is known for being flooded with stars from all ends of showbusiness and so the chances of running into or catching a glimpse of one is pretty high.

Mr McCabe had a very interesting turn of events after missing his flight home and explained that he and his friend did the only thing they could think of to pass the time - head to the pub.

When he arrived, he met Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz and their mutual friend, Selena Gomez.

Not only did the Irish man grace the same pub as the three stars, he said he also bonded with them over a game of pool and pints.

In an Instagram story of himself posing with Beckham, Tony joked: "I'm told his dad was a good footballer and mum a Spice Girl but he's not a good pool player... ol man T kicked his ass!"

Speaking to Lovin, Tony also revealed that he thinks Selena made her long-awaited return to Instagram after some "advice" he gave her.

The songstress posted a picture of herself and Brooklyn at said bar in LA playing pool, writing ‘Caption this’.
