Saoirse Ronan

(screen swooshes) I'm Oliver Trevena, here at the Young Hollywood studio with this lovely young lady, Saoirse Ronan how are you?

I'm good thanks, how are you?

Good, good thanks for stopping in.

Oh, that's all right. This is a great setup you got here.

Just put it together this morning.

Really?

Yeah, for you, for you.

For me?

For you. Red curtains and everything? We normally sit on the floor, but we pulled out the budget.

I have to say, I would have been more comfortable with that, I always sit on-

Really? See, there's just no pleasing Some people is there?

I am a very down to earth person Oliver and it's just the way I am. No actually when I'm in shopping malls and stuff, 'cause the shopping kind of stresses me out after a while and then I get very tired, my back gets sore for some reasons. I'll sit on the ground and watch everyone wander on by. I get a few looks.

Does anyone chuck you some change?

No they haven't actually, but they should right?

Well, at least put a hat there. You might as well make the most of being there.

Maybe a little Ukulele.

Exactly. I've actually got a Ukulele. Can you play it?

Well, I started to learn last year. A dialect coach that I was working with on a film, she plays the ukulele.

Well, next time you come in then, we're going to get you to play ukulele.

No probs.

Bust out a tune.

No pressure on me.

Moving on from ukuleles to assassins. Cause that's a nice little, goes to that. Your new film Hannah.

Yeah.

Children are bad people too. Did she turn out as you hoped?

Better.

(ominous music) That opening scene when you kill that deer, you put your hand in that, was that quite weird?

I don't know what I'm doing quite there but it was like.

I know you're trying to do. You know what I'm doing.

Yeah I know-- Yours was more determined.

Well because I did it, yeah.

Yeah. The really difficult thing was that I was putting my hands into goo for like two and a half hours and we were in minus 30 degrees.

Wow.

In Finland on a frozen lake. And then I went into a fight scene with Eric Banner.

Who has chunky arms.

Yeah, like me.

Yeah. You know?

Yeah. Very similar.

His are slightly smaller though I would say.

Thanks, thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome. And you're training for the movie was quite intense as well wasn't it?

I trained for like a couple of hours in the gym every day and then a couple of hours in the evening with martial arts and knife training, and stick fighting.

So I'm definitely not going to say anything inappropriate.

Please don't.

'Cause you will kill me.

'Cause I'll kick your.

Yeah, you will. Thanks for the honesty there. You've got great arms.

Thank you yeah, you don't want to mess with them guns.

And your accent, can't help but mention it every time I see you in a film. Obviously you're doing a different accent and they're flawless, how'd you master that?

You know, I've worked with really fantastic dialect coaches. I've been very lucky with the dialect coaches that I've worked with.

What's your favorite accent to do?

I really like the Scottish accent actually.

Go on then give it a go.

Well, what do you want me to say? I'm here on Young Hollywood and I like this coach quite a bit. I don't know what else to say.

It was good, that was enough. When you're not working, which seems to be not much time. What do you do in your spare time? You like to read books don't you?

I'll tell you what you like to do in your spare time.

All right, where did you read that? I didn't I'm just using my eyes, I'm looking at you and I'm thinking, I'm feeling book, I'm feeling books. Feeling it. Feeling books, looking at your legs, I think you like to play a little bit of soccer, football.

What are you saying they're really muscular? Is that what you're saying?

You know when I started saying that, I thought I'm digging aren't I? Obviously throughout your career you've worked with so many people, who haven't you worked with that you'd like to?

I like people who make me laugh. I love comedy.

So you've really enjoyed me then, I'm hilarious.

Yup.

If I take these off I'm funnier.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm right aint I? Put the glasses back on. The jokes will just come flowing out now. Can I try your glasses on? Can see again now we're back. Do you want to try them on? For the third time--

Just watch how intelligent you feel, ready?

(upbeat music) Hello, how do I look?

You look really intelligent.

Do I look really smart? You've gone from like a scary looking assassin killer to--

I don't look like an assassin in real life mate.

You do you've got them eyes. And frankly I'm getting scared, I'm getting worried, I'm scared about my life. And goodbye. (upbeat music)
