Saoirse Ronan goes viral after her comment on Graham Norton show
In a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, Saoirse Ronan’s comment sparked a viral moment when she bluntly addressed the reality of violence against women. The conversation began lightheartedly when Eddie Redmayne, who was on the show with Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Denzel Washington, discussed his training for The Day of the Jackal, where he learned self-defense, including how to use his phone as a weapon. Mescal and Norton jokingly questioned the practicality of this, with Mescal humorously adding that he wouldn’t instinctively reach for his phone in an attack.
Saoirse Ronan interrupted the casual exchange by pointing out that thinking about such defensive tactics is a reality for women. She said, “That’s what girls have to think about all the time.” Her pointed remark silenced the panel, leaving the men at a loss for words as the audience applauded her honesty. Following her statement, Ronan asked the audience, “Am I right, ladies?” to overwhelming support.
Social media users praised Ronan for her unfiltered commentary, which soon went viral. Many people praised her for speaking up about such an important issue. One user wrote on X: “Saoirse Ronan is a queen. Men need a reminder what it’s like being a woman so they can appreciate their privilege. The silence after she said that speaks volumes.” Another commented, “this encapsulates men being ignorant of male privilege in a nutshell. the fact that these guys– nice guys, mind– are just so unaware is almost terrifying. thank goodness for saoirse though because we all need a bit more attention drawn to this.”
