Saoirse Ronan silences male Hollywood stars on talk show by calling out big problem with Paul Mescals joke

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan has silenced a lineup of male Hollywood stars and the host of The Graham Norton Show with one powerful sentence.Ronan appeared as a guest alongside Paul Mescal, Eddie Redmayne and Denzel Washington in the latest episode of the British comedy talk show where the discussion led to defending yourself from an attack.Mescal, who stars in the soon-to-be released Gladiator II, mocked the idea of using an object like a phone.“Who is actually going to think about that?” he asked.“If someone actually attacked me, I’m not going to go ‘phone.’”As Mescal, Redmayne and Norton laughed, Ronan tried to speak but the joke continued.“Can you hang on a second?” Norton said to a hypothetical attacker, tapping his pockets looking for a phone.Mescal pretended to hold a phone up to his ear, adding: “Sorry mum, one second.

BANG.”“That’s a very good point,” Redmayne agreed.But Ronan wanted to point out that for half the population, thoughts like that are not a joke.“That’s what girls have to think about all the time,” she said.The mood immediately shifted as the men realized and appeared unsure how to respond.“Am I right ladies?” Ronan asked the audience to huge applause.Ronan and Mescal are known to be good friends after working on the 2023 film Foe together, which was directed by Australian director Garth Davis.Ronan, who starred as outspoken and independent Jo March in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, has been celebrated online with posts of the clip receiving millions of views on social media.“This is so Jo March of her,” one fan wrote.“The silence…..speaks for itself,” another said.“The silence after she speaks is genuinely a work of art,” wrote a third.“The silence afterwards OMG.Thank you Saoirse,” praised a fourth.
