However, Brendan’s response left viewers in uproar.
He said: “He’s very expensive, and so far we haven’t had anybody his colour in there.”
Brendan added: “So I don’t know if we could have him in but… I’d love that, but more importantly, I’d love to do another movie with him.”
Tyler laughed off the comment and said: “Nobody my colour. Diversity rules!”
However, although Tyler laughed off the remark, it didn’t go down well with viewers on Twitter.
One person said: “Did Brendan O’Carroll just say that?”
