What is Saoirse Ronan's star persona now that she's all grown up? We know she is a remarkable talent; we know she is Irish; and we know that she was a child prodigy and received her first Oscar nomination for acting atonement after being cast at the age of 11. But now she's old enough to be married, and since she received her last Oscar nomination in 2019, some 70 billion Irish actors have entered Hollywood Little women. This year she has two potential vehicles – Steve McQueen's flashin which she plays a mother during World War II, and The outrunin which she plays a recovering alcoholic – and she needs a new role. She can no longer base her Oscar campaign on teaching talk show hosts to say her name. Now she has found an opportunity, at least for the first phase of the campaign: to teach men what it is like to be a woman.

Promote current interviews flash And The outrun I was looking forward to it for a moment The Graham Norton Show This recently went viral and gave her the opportunity to show men how little they think about women's safety. “I think it took something like that on a platform like that for people to say, 'Oh, okay.' “We can talk about it now,” she told the Today show on November 7th.

The original incident continued to air Graham Norton on October 25, when Norton, Eddie Redmayne, Denzel Washington and Ronan's fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal stumbled over each other and laughed at a self-defense technique Redmayne had learned The days of the jackal, The victim shoves “the handle of his phone” into the neck of an attacker. “Who's actually going to think about that?” Mescal laughed. “If someone attacks me, I won't say 'Call!' “That's what girls have to think about all the time,” Ronan replied. “Am I right, ladies?” (This isn't the first time Ronan has expressed a similar opinion; check this out Saturday Night Live(Sketch “Welcome to Hell”) “The older I get, the more I feel like it's really important that we get this out to people who just don't have to think about it, no fault of their own,” she said Weekly entertainment on October 31st.

This is of course an important but also campaign-related issue that Ronan and her team should highlight. Since she is currently supporting two films, she needs to be able to draw attention not just to a single subject but to her personality. She's not just any talented Irish actress – she uses her talent to do just that Good.
