He first burst onto the screen on the Late Late Toy Show in 2009 in what is a now iconic piece of Irish telly. 

John Joe Brennan warmed the hearts of the nation when he we told host Tubs about his love of clocks.

The eight-year-old announced that he wanted to be a ''horologist'' and stole the show, and our hearts. 

But where is the little boy from Roscommon now, you might wonder. 

Well, it turns out that he is now 17-years-old and living in Paris – but he still loves clocks just as much as he did almost ten years ago.

Where are they now? John Joe – the clock-loving kid from the Late Late Toy Show – is a teenager, living in Paris, and still loving clock.  pic.twitter.com/ntq2FeHxjQ

John Joe's parents, Neil Gurry and Karen Brennan have said that they still can't believe what a sensation their son became after the show.

Neil said, "We didn't think anything of it. And then the next day, on the Internet, it was, you know, 'I want John Joe to fix my clock'. He had more hits on The Late Late Show site than Tom Cruise.''

John Joe is now studying for his baccalaureat and is also bilingual speaking as fluent in French as English. 

Fancy. 

While he still is mad about clocks, horology isn't the career he wants anymore – he would rather be an auctioneer.

We're sure that whatever he does, he will be a hit.
