Leo Varadkar meets photobomber and slags him with epic dig following famous online Twitter pic emerges

Leo Varadkar has been reunited with the photobomber who became famous after popping up in the back of a picture posted on Saturday night while the Tanaiste was on a date night with partner Matthew Barrett.

The former Taoiseach posted the rather sweet photo of the pair enjoying a rare meal out at Las Tapas De Lola on Wexford Street.

But the picture took on a life of its own when the limelight was stolen by a rather delighted looking fella out enjoying a pint who took the opportunity to gatecrash what was supposed to be a cute date night snap.

The man has become a bit of a celebrity following his antics on Saturday night and Leo managed to catch up with him outside after the grub and got him back for ruining the photo, slagging the man about his look.

Varadkar posted the epic dig on his Twitter on Sunday night saying: "Met the infamous photobomber on Saturday night. A hipster Healy-Rae?"
 

After the heavily talked about picture emerged, one amused Dublin Live reader told us: "I want a statue of that man. He will be remembered for generations."

Twitter users were entertained by the picture with one person saying: "Look at the fella outside the window, he’s only delighted."

Another person said: "Loving the photobomber...they'll be more infamous than you two tonight."

A third user said: "The best part of this is the photobomb in the background."
