Rosie O’Donnell Celebrates 63rd Birthday in Ireland

Rosie O’Donnell is celebrating her 63rd birthday. The actress and comedian marked the milestone on Instagram, where she shared a photo of a bouquet of flowers with the caption, “I am 63 today, happy birthday to me / I have a full schedule today, from now til midnight.” She also talked about her excitement for appearing on “The Late Late Show” with Patrick Kielty.

O’Donnell reflected on her love for talk shows and growing up watching hosts like Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas, and Dinah Shore. However, she also discussed the current state of politics in the US, where she no longer lives. The former talk show host took to TikTok to share her decision to move to Ireland, citing the country’s safety and kindness as reasons for the move.

O’Donnell said that moving to Ireland has been a “safer” choice for her family, allowing them to escape the stress and anxiety caused by recent events. She feels healthier now that she is away from the US and is sleeping better without the weight of politics on her mind. The actress also expressed gratitude for the kindness of the Irish people, saying that kindness counts in a world that often lacks it.

Since her move, O’Donnell has been enjoying life in Ireland with her family. She is currently in the process of getting her Irish citizenship and plans to stay until conditions change.
