Talk:Danny O'Donoghue/Archive 1

DOB
What year was he born in? Seems to be some confusion between 1980 and 1983. At the top of the article it says 1980 and on IMDB, but on the side part and the bottom catagories it says 1983. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.18.198.42 (talk) 10:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

If Danny O'Donoghue was born in 1983, he would have been just 13 when Mytown released their first album! He was born in 1980. This is present on both IMDB and discogs.com Heggyhomolit (talk) 02:27, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Danny was actually born in 1979 and Mark 1975 - my source is Companies House. Falconette36 (talk) 11:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)Nette — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falconette36 (talk • contribs) 11:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

November 2008
After having reverted some recent edits that looked like vandalism, I see there does seem to be some confusion here - the article mixes up claims that Danny O'Donoghue is Irish/German, and a musician/porn star. I can't see a clean past version that goes either way (and I can't find any reference to a porn star called Danny O'Donoghue), so I'm going to revert it to the new (musician) version, and hope someone can help here. Oscroft (talk) 16:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

OK Folks, I've found the last good version - it was 22:39, 6 November 2008 Pharaoh of the Wizards - and I've reverted it. The next anonymous edit saw the introduction of the German porn star stuff, adding details that are apparently from someone called Jan Fischer. Oscroft (talk) 17:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Seems to be quite a bit of confusion as to how old Danny actually is. One moment I go onto wikipedia and he is listed as being born in 1980- and the next moment (and currently) he is listed as being born in 1983. Big difference..The date of birth seems consistent- October 3..

Looking at evidence, Party all night was a hit in Ireland and UK in the Spring of 1999. If he was born in Oct 1983- that would make him 15 when the record came out in these Irelands. Which I doubt. I know the official website for the Script lists him as 25 (making him born in 1983) but could this be to make him more attractive to younger women? He is eye candy after all. It's quite common for "new artists" to have their age lessened by a number of years only for truth to come out later. Sinead from Bwitched and Anasacia spring to mind Interestingly, on the script official website- on the main pages, his Mytown days are not directly referred to. Why? What is there to hide? Most fans know his associaiton.

His internet movie database entry lists him as being born in 1980- which I think is more realisitic

This link also lists him as being born in 1980 http://www.tv.com/mytown/person/163669/summary.html

Also this MYTOWN website, which doesnt seem to have had anything done with since they were at their peak in 1999, lists him as 18.

http://members.tripod.com/~irish_pop/mytownframe.html

So come on gals and guys- how old is he?? What evidence do you have. Were you in the same school year as him- and how old are you?

Cheers gals and guys

This isn't a very neutral article. 'exceptional talent' sounds a bit like someone's forcing their opinion on others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aongalmighty (talk • contribs) 22:55, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Just a couple of corrections. Danny is not from Dublin City Centre but actually from South Dublin, Ballinteer to be exact. He attended St Benildus College in Kilmacud. Mark is infact from the City Centre but the two met when Mark was a dance instructor teaching Hip Hop Dance classes in Ballinteer, which Danny attended. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.199.128.156 (talk) 14:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

This article reads like it was copied and pasted from an Interview with Danny, the quotations from him aren't referenced - example: ''"That was pulling on my heart strings in a big way," admits Danny. "Lyrically it was pouring out of me."'' - Who did he admit this to?? I think this has been plagiarised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vumpireofkid (talk • contribs) 10:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

If you would like to request further changes, please clearly state on this page what should be added/removed, and provide reliable sources to back it up. Thanks SmartSE (talk) 12:20, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

I once had the opportunity to talk to Danny on Instagram and he told me that his birthday is October 3rd of 1980, not 1979 like the site shows. Golmyn (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi George re:Danny Script
Hi George,

Don't have time to do everything but have checked the 15 million part and can't find any references to it anywhere so have removed that.

Thanks

Danny's YEAR of Birth is 1979 - Semi-protected edit request on 28 January 2014
Please change Danny's year of birth to 1979. I have submitted this request previously. There has been so much speculation about his date of birth & the use of other websites is not proof. Only a legal document is proof. His management team under My Town for some reason put it out there that he and Mark were a year younger than they actually are for reasons best known to themselves. I think it is important the correct information is put on this page. My source is Company's House. Please go and look there under Mad NOtes Publishing. Request the free documents and you will see his date of birth his 1979 - this is a legal document and the only one I have seen which actually verifies his real date of birth. Thank you.

 * Not done - http://www.dannyodonoghue.net/ confirms we have a correct date of birth (3 October 1980). -- Diannaa (talk) 20:08, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi there - thanks for coming back to me however I do feel the need to push this as I truly believe wiki pages should be accurate as many people rely on them as a source of reference. You state that you are relying on a fansite as your reason for keeping Danny's year of birth as 1980. This makes no sense. Why would you ignore a legal document and prefer to rely on a fansite which has no doubt just re-regurgitated the urban myth which started back in the MyTown days? It was a common thing for management of boy bands to reduce the members ages so that they would have more appeal to younger fans. The Script are not a Boy Band and would not now need to have any reason to have their ages reduced by one year. It may only be one year but the truth is the truth - why continue the conspiracy to publish incorrect info about their real ages? It should also be noted (and I appreciate this is word of mouth) that Danny in chatting to fans has verified his true age that he was born in October 1979. Please re-consider my request to change Danny's year of birth to 1979. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. Falconette36 (talk) 09:55, 13 February 2014 (UTC)Falconette36

Birth Year
Please change "born 3 October 1980" to "born 3 October 1979" and also "3 October 1980 (age 33)" to "3 October 1979 (age 34) because that is his real birth date. His first band, MyTown, management stated all four members ages to be a year younger than they actually were, presumably to engage more attention with the female fans so to make them all in their teens. This was then never corrected and all media at the start of his career made the mistake in not checking with Danny himself his age and relying on the years old source so therefore this date has been copied, presumably from Wikipedia which contained this incorrect information as soon as it was printed, which is wrong. Danny, himself has told multiple, reliable fans that he is currently 34 and therefore is born in 1979 as well as in previous years stating that his age was a year older than the 1980 year would suggest. His sister, Andi O'Donoghue has also confirmed this on Twitter. https://twitter.com/missymooparties/status/515936738477629440

 * the link the 1980 birth date is sourced to is dead, can't find the article on the glamour website. However, found 1 2 3 these which I think are scans of the article in the magazine and it only describes him as 32 at the time of interview, doesn't even give a month/day Cannolis (talk) 21:58, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Danny's sisters have confirmed Danny's year of birth is 1979
As you have not checked Companies House which clarifies Danny's year of birth in a legal document perhaps you will accept the word of his sisters. Victoria O'Donoghue confirmed his year of birth is 1979 on her Face Book page after the 'biogrpahy' which Danny has tweeted he did not give permission for stated his DOB as 1980 incorrectly. Danny's other sister, Andrea who is on twitter - see @MissyMooParties tweeted a couple of times on September 29th 2014 about Danny's age. See her tweet 5.26 am BST on 29th Sept 2014 which states after many people asking her 'he was born in 79 im his sister I was there'. The 'sources' you rely on are not reliable. Only the companies house document and Danny's sisters are reliable. Please now we have asked you so many times, change his year of birth to the correct year of 1979.

Dear Wikipedia established user,

Please change "born 3 October 1980" to "born 3 October 1979".

I'd like to inform you that Danny O'Donoghue was born in 1979 and not in 1980 and it was confirmed by his sister Andi.

With the best wishes, Maria
