Saoirse Ronan: “I’m always going to be in Ireland in some capacity. It’s my home.”
Even though Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan recently sold her Greystones house, she still considers Ireland home and will be spending Christmas with her parents in Wicklow.
Speaking to Tara Brady in the Irish Times today, the 25-year-old discusses her Christmas plans. “We’re all going to be together over Christmas,” she says.
“It’ll be nice. And I’m always going to be in Ireland in some capacity. It’s my home. My family is there and my dog is there. So I can go anywhere in the world knowing I have a lovely place to come back to. I’m over in the UK a lot, but it’s just 50 minutes on a plane to get back.”
Saoirse will no doubt play an even bigger role in people’s Christmas this year as Little Women finally comes to Irish cinemas on December 26.
With glowing reviews coming in from the US, it will be a great excuse to leave the confines of your couch next week.
