Saoirse Ronan magnificent shutting down the men on Graham Norton has got people cheering all over again
We feature plenty of clips of the Graham Norton Show on these pages but not many quite so memorable as this one.
It’s the brilliant actress Saoirse Ronan making a most important intervention after her fellow (male) guests joked about using mobile phones for self-defence.
And it was really rather magnificent.

And here are just a few of the things people said about it this time round.
1.
i like this clip bc these two are arguably some of the least toxically masculine actors, who have shown real intention to make space for female voices in their careers, and yet they are men, so they will never live in a woman’s skin and truly understand the violence we live with https://t.co/Vbj1qa2Hxg

The way she shuts the whole room and I’m happy about that cause like it’s true like why Paul saying that when he has no clue what women have to live with on the daily and the fear cause of men like I only know a quarter of what yall go through so happy she shut him up

We can see her doing the calculations of whether it’s worth it to speak up which makes it all the more satisfying
