Danny O’Donoghue is an Irish singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He is the singer of pop band The Script.
Danny is the son of Ailish and Shay O’Donoghue, a member of the band The Dreams.
Danny has evidently stated:
Both of my parents are Irish, although my Grandfather is of Greek descent, from Chios, Greece, and my family have been in Ireland for three generations.
I just remembered that I looked at that Facebook page (where the quote is from) at some point after submitting him and realized that it wasn’t an official page. Now it’s of course down. I would change “On his Facebook, Danny wrote:” to something like “Danny has allegedly been quoted as saying:”. And maybe change the ethnicity to “Irish, possibly one quarter Greek”. I still think it’s very possible that the quote is Danny’s, but it’s not completely clear. For one thing, I could only find it on that fanpage, and not anywhere else, when I made the profile.
