Saoirse recently did an exclusive interview with Uinterview, where she answered questions from fans about her new film, Hanna. She talked about her intense martial arts training, working with Eric Bana and wrapping up filming one day earlier so she can attend a Lady Gaga concert. She also explains the meaning and pronunciation of her name.
Huge thanks to Katie for sending us the link to the interview!
I’m taking a break from catching up on all of the latest event photos to post this great interview that Saoirse did with Ellen on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was aired in late March, but it was such an amazing and hilarious interview that I just had to update with it on the main site! We are still working on our video archive, so for now, have a watch at the interview below via YouTube:
HD screencaptures from the interview have also been added to the gallery for your viewing pleasure!
“The biggest physical and emotional challenge that I faced on the film,” reveals Ronan, “was the scene underground. The scene where I’m lured into the bunker and, though you don’t really see it, the scene where I’m murdered by George [Stanley Tucci]. There’s that shot of me escaping, which is what we all want to believe happened, and that took a long time to figure out. It was a bit more difficult than usual to completely commit myself to the physical side of that scene as for one, I had a cold, and secondly there was so much going on emotionally. It was pretty draining.
“I was lucky that when she shot that scene, we were quite far into the shooting process, so we’d had lots of time to prepare for it. Also Stanley was really helpful. We got on very well from the time we first met and now we’re really close. We didn’t really know each other until we started that scene, so it could have been intense, but we kept the atmosphere light. Because Stanley is a family man himself, in between takes he felt the need to take care of me and make sure that I was okay, which I thought was very sweet. Even though he was still in that state of mind, he was able to switch from this monster he was playing to the father he really is, because it’s natural in him.”
