We know she’s a remarkable talent; we know that she’s Irish; and we know that she was a prodigy, earning her first Oscar nomination for acting in Atonement after being cast at age 11. The original incident aired on Graham Norton on October 25 when Norton, Eddie Redmayne, Denzel Washington, and Ronan’s fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal stumbled over one another to laugh about a self-defense technique Redmayne learned for The Days of the Jackal, in which the victim shoves “the butt of your phone” into an attacker’s neck. “Am I right, ladies?” (This is not the first time Ronan has expressed a similar sentiment; check out Saturday Night Live ’s “Welcome to Hell” sketch.)
