She also paid thanks to both the Regional Cultural Centre and An Grianán Theatre in Letterkenny for their help and support in her early years.
In a online post following the show, the Regional Cultural Centre shared a montage of photographs of Amybeth McNulty alongside a touching message.
“Huge congratulations to Amybeth McNulty on her brilliant appearance on last night’s Late Late Show – and big thanks for the lovely shout-out to the Regional Cultural Centre and An Grianán Theatre.
“It’s been incredible to watch Amybeth’s career flourish, from her unforgettable performance in Anne with an E to her recent role in Stranger Things, and so much more in between.
“The RCC was delighted to support Amybeth as a young actor, assisting with audition tapes in her early years. We’re immensely proud to have played even a tiny part in her journey – and prouder still to see her talent and hard work recognised on an international stage.
