Chris O’Dowd catches stuffed bunny on stage, tries to ‘kill it’

“Of Mice and Men” star Chris O’Dowd anticipated a racy question when he saw us approach at a luncheon for his latest film at the Explorers Club last week.

“Are you going to ask me if I’m having sex with this chicken?” O’Dowd asked. “We’ve been dating, but nothing has happened on-the-record.”

The Irish actor, starring in Fox Searchlight’s upcoming “Calvary,” had a bizarre encounter with another animal a few nights before.

A spy at his Broadway play with James Franco explained, “A fan threw a stuffed rabbit onstage during the curtain call. Chris caught it in his hand and pretended to kill it.”

Luckily, “It brought down the house.”
