Saoirse Ronan on Doing Her Own Stunts, Hosting SNL , and Pronouncing Her Name
It turns out Lady Bird star Saoirse Ronan collects locks of hair (she won’t say why), treasures a stuffed dog named Pip, and doesn’t like dessert. What else do we learn during a London visit with Ronan for Vogue’s 73 Questions? That a cup of tea must have milk (and is far superior to coffee), that saoirse means freedom in Irish, and if Ronan were to make up her own name it would be—ready for this?—Princess Consuela Banana Hammock. The 24-year-old has been acting since she was a child (her breakout role was in 2007’s Atonement) and is soon to play the titular role in December’s Mary Queen of Scots (naturally, the historical figure she’d most like to have tea with). That’s just her handwriting tattooed on Ed Sheeran, definitely can’t juggle, and knows better than anyone how to pull off an Irish goodbye.
