Paul Mescal Reflects On Saoirse Ronan’s Viral Comments About Women’s Safety: “Hit The Nail On The Head”


Paul Mescal addressed that viral moment on 'The Graham Norton Show,' where Saoirse Ronan brought attention to safety concerns women face.

Last month, Mescal and Ronan appeared sofa-side on the British talk show alongside Denzel Washington and Eddie Redmayne. After Redmayne said he was trained to use a phone as a weapon for a role, Mescal joked about the logistics of doing so in the event of an actual assault, cracking up the men as he acted out putting his mom on hold to deal with the supposed assailant. While Ronan later called the headline-making reaction to her words “wild” and unexpected, as she wasn’t “necessarily set[ting] out to sort of make a splash,” she did acknowledge that it brought to light differing realities faced by men and women that deserve attention.
