Rob McElhenney's Fascinating Career Facts

Rob McElhenney is best known as the co-creator and star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but there’s a lot more to him than just playing Mac. Here are some fried (fun and surprising) facts about him:

1. He Had No Acting Experience Before Always Sunny

McElhenney had only done minor theater work before creating It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton. He taught himself screenwriting by reading scripts online.

2. He Gained 60 Pounds for a Joke

In Season 7, McElhenney intentionally gained 60 lbs. to parody sitcoms where characters inexplicably change appearance without explanation. He did it without telling the network—they only found out when he showed up on set.

Though their characters constantly insult each other on the show, McElhenney and Olson are married in real life. They met on set and have two sons together.

In 2020, McElhenney and Reynolds purchased the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC. Their journey to revive the team was documented in the FX series Welcome to Wrexham.

Early in the show’s run, FX considered replacing McElhenney with a more experienced actor. Luckily, his co-stars and producers fought to keep him.

6. He’s a Huge Lord of the Rings Fan

McElhenney loves LOTR so much that he has a massive tattoo of the One Ring inscription on his back.

7. He Wrote a Children’s Book

In 2022, he released The Wrexham Story, a children’s book about the underdog spirit of the soccer club he co-owns.

8. He Was a Bartender Before Becoming Famous

Before Always Sunny, McElhenney worked as a bartender in New York City while trying to make it as an actor.

9. His Middle Name is 'McElhenney'

His full name is Robert McElhenney McElhenney—yes, his last name is also his middle name.

10. He’s a Guinness World Record Holder

Thanks to It’s Always Sunny’s 16-season run, McElhenney and the cast hold the record for the longest-running live-action sitcom in the U.S.
