Saoirse Ronan Has Responded To Her Viral “Graham Norton” Moment, And Admitted She Didn’t Set Out To Spark Discourse About Male Privilege
“But, at the same time, it felt very similar to when I’m at dinner with a bunch of my friends, and I will always make the point that, well, this is actually an experience that we go through every single day, 100 percent,” she went on, adding that she’d had similar conversations with Paul himself in the past.
“Paul, being one of my very dear friends, I’ve had conversations like that with him before, and he completely gets that and completely understands that,” Saoirse explained. “I think the fact that there was a moment like that that happened on a show like Graham Norton… It seems to have had an accessibility, which seems to have really gained traction.
“I think is amazing it’s opening a conversation, and hopefully it’s allowing more and more women to just be like: ‘Well, yeah, actually, let’s talk about our experience,’” she continued.
