A Cork lad's TikToks have been getting him a huge audience as people can't get enough of his ridiculous lies.

Joe Costigan's been taking the absolute piss out of his mates by selling them completely bogus "interesting facts" and then filming their reaction.

As it turns out he's a bit of a pro - and they come around and accept his tall truths each time.

He cleverly weaved together a the following lies involving random celebrities:

  • That Adele had retrained to be a nurse during the pandemic.
  • That Ed Sheeran had sold his stakes in gay dating app Grindr.
  • That Adam Sandler would not be returning for season two of the hit show Euphoria, having written and directed the first season.

All of which was complete and utter waffle - but his friends all bought it hook line and sinker!

Joe got some famous fans as a result of the viral clip.

Too Hot To Handle star Francesca Farago called on him to do "more please" - which Joe has since done in a follow-up clip here.

Another user noted that Costigan's tactic of adding the minor details made him "so believable".

While a third regaled one of their own extravagant lies.

"Once told my sister there was a fourth Hemsworth brother - but he died in a speedboat accident because I felt like it!"

The 19-year-old's clip has been viewed almost four million times and has seen his follower count on the app rocket skywards.

But we hear he's been lined up to star in the next James Bond movie after a recommendation from former Irish 007 Pierce Brosnan!
