James Nesbitt looks like all his birthdays have come at once as he shows off his very special card from kids at a Belfast nursery.
The Northern Ireland actor created quite a stir filming for thriller detective series Bloodlands in West Belfast this week. The drama is produced by some of the people behind hit shows Line of Duty, Bodyguard and Derry Girls.
Teachers and the 52 pupils at Matt Talbot Nursery School in New Barnsley were so "thrilled" the series was being shot nearby that they decided to make him a birthday card.
Their teacher Mrs Magee told Belfast Live: "He sent Matt Talbot photos of himself with his birthday card.
"The boy and girls were thrilled to hear that there was a film was being made around their school. It was great for our local community.
"When they heard it was James’s birthday they wanted to make him a card.
"There are 52 children in the school and they all drew a self portrait and glued it to his card."
Mrs Magee said they were delighted when James sent back a picture of himself with the care.
She added: "They were so pleased, and both parents and children loved seeing the photos."
And Jimmy clearly loved receiving it.
