Can't believe that the little girl from Atonement is all grown up. She is one of those " real deal" actors ! If you can blow an audience away when you are 11 or 12, and not by being cute and precocious but by an intense, amazing performance, just imagine what life holds in store. And she is so NOT self-absorbed - it's delightful.
I didn't know she had such a beautiful accent. Tbh, I've only seen her in The Lovely Bones but she is stunning and she has a beautiful voice to go with it
+Baby Names Buzz I am irish and i am immensely proud of her,but her accent is terrible.I have a think country accent myself,but that posh dublin 4 accent is awful
+Jenny Thorson Nobody I know has seen that movie and it makes me sad because it is sooo great. I have watched that movie over twenty times and I watched it again last week. You just made me so happy.
+Keona Lee-Rimpel right? I saw it when it first came out and it was amazing. Such a beautiful movie! More people need to watch it for real! I'm glad to make you happy and glad others have seen the movie.
+Lilinor 13 That is the movie with JLAW. Lol. You mean "The Lovely Bones"? Cause yes that movie is amazing and so heartbreaking. I have been raped and that movie brought back so many feelings and emotions I wasn't ready to deal with. Beautiful movie though.
+hopidy hop I'm an Irish person and I don't think that Saoirse was offended at all! In Ireland playful insulting called "slagging" is HUGE between friends so she would be well used to it. I think she was acting that she felt awkward to kind of go along with Ellen's sarcasm :)
+hopidy hop Not at all. You didn't really understand her if thats what you thought. Saoirse was only going along with it. She didn't feel awkward at all.
+Natalia T That's how it's supposed to be pronounced, the 'aoi' in the name is supposed to make an 'e' sound. But it's her name and I suppose she can pronounce it whatever way she wants.
+Amy Kennedy Yep, EdG was not happy about her constant plugging of the nail salon. Can't really blame her, it basically lowered the show to an advert slot.
Saoirse is super talented, and breathtakingly beautiful. I really love Ellen too, but I'll be glad when when interviewers finally drop the "how-you-pronounce -your-name-routine" and use that time listening to more of her great stories instead.
Ok, since this pronunciation issue has been clarified (since around 2009 just by doing a cursory search in IMDB or something), can we please move on and ask her about other stuff, since she has this rather great head over her shoulders? I know, this is Ellen, but please, interviewers could have their pick of light-hearted rapport with her. She is Irish for fuck's sake, they can turn most topics into an improv stand up!
She's beautiful, of course.... but that accent!!! I never really heard Irish accents outside of television shows and movies, but damn you guys sound amazing!!!! ❤
Dublin basic. Not harsh dublin. Certainly not south dublin. In reality I would say north east coast dublin. Dublin City. North County Dublin totally different
Watched her movie Brooklyn. I just stumbled upon this movie while switching channels... Read the synopsis and decided to watch it for a few minutes. I was so captivated by her acting, and the overall feel of the movie that in myself want to go live in the fifties. Started feeling nostalgic for no reason. It also gave a valuable lesson, that as we grow up we have to find a life that's our own, not related to our past, something that we love. A treasure.
This young girl is truly amazing during her performance; she leaves no doubt in the personality of the characters she'll play. I could've sworn she was from England from the rolls she played. I never heard a chip off her Irish accent. ....especially when she played the role of Hannah where she spoke different languages. That girl is good.
