Danny O'Carroll has paid tribute to his eldest son Jamie as he celebrates his 17th birthday.
The Mrs Brown's Boys star shares the teenager, as well as younger son Blake, with his wife and co-star Amanda.
The family are currently holidaying in Florida and today they celebrate Jamie's birthday.
Danny took to Instagram to share a video of Jamie dancing by the pool with the caption: "Happy birthday @jamieocarroll7" alongside loveheart emojis.
Sharing a second selfie, he added: "Happy birthday son".
Another snap saw the actor supporting Jamie at a rugby match as he sweetly wrote: "Love you to bits buddy".
It's clear that Jamie is a talented teen - not only does he play for Ulster Rugby's youth side, he has played the role of Bono on Mrs Brown's Boys since he was five years old.

Danny previously revealed that his son nearly didn't go through with it but now loves working on the show with his family.
He told RSVP Magazine: "I remember collecting him from the airport and he said that he didn't want to do it anymore, he was too nervous. I said that it was no problem and he didn't have to do anything.
"I brought him into rehearsals the following day, his grandad had a little chat with him and he agreed to do it.
"From there, he was hooked and everyone wanted him to stay in the cast. He was so good, I don't know where he gets it from [jokes]!"
The doting dad went on to say that if his two sons decide to go to college, and not pursue acting he will support them no matter what.
He added: "As long as they are happy and healthy, I will be happy. Whether they go down the road of acting or not, it doesn't bother me.
"There as one stage where Jamie wanted to be a marine biologist and I was a bit shocked. I don't know where he got that from.
"Jamie is a very intelligent kid so I hope acting doesn't get in his way if he wants to go to college.
"I will always be there for them no matter what they want to do."
