Saoirse Ronan, the renowned Hollywood star, recently shared her experience of filming The Outrun, a new movie based on Amy Liptrot's award-winning memoir. She revealed that this project posed her with some of her most challenging acting tasks yet. The film, directed by Nora Fingscheid, follows the story of a young woman who returns to her family home in the Orkney Islands to confront her past and struggles with addiction.
One particular scene in the movie required Saoirse to assist with the birthing of lambs. The actress admitted that this was not an easy feat to fake for the camera. "Oh, I was lambing," she said. "I don't think you can fake that, as you'll see from the film." She went on to explain that pulling out a lamb for the first time can be quite daunting, as they appear lifeless at first. "When you pull a lamb out, they look like they're dead," she shared.
Playing the character of Rona in the film, Saoirse had to face the challenging task of keeping a calm and confident demeanor while dealing with her inner fears and anxieties. "After I got the first one out of the way, I felt a bit more confident, but having to maintain that mask of confidence while being completely terrified inside was probably one of the biggest acting challenges I've ever faced," she revealed.
The movie is set to be released next month, and Saoirse's candidness about her work has already sparked interest among her fans. It is not the first time the actress has put herself in uncomfortable positions for the sake of her craft. She has previously shared that she does her own stunts, including being strapped to the bottom of a truck in the Sahara Desert for an hour.
In an interview with Vogue, she was asked about her toughest stunt, to which she replied, "Probably being strapped to the bottom of a truck in the Sahara Desert for an hour." She also shared that she did all her stunts for the movie Hanna when she was just 12 years old. "I did all of 'em. I trained beforehand in the gym and in martial arts," she said.
In her new role, Saoirse plays a Scottish character, which adds to the diverse range of characters she has portrayed throughout her career. However, she revealed to Glamour that her iconic leap out of a moving car in Ladybird was not as dangerous as it looked. "I'd love to say I did a drop and roll onto the freeway, but I didn't," she chuckled. "The car was set into this rake that was raised up off the ground and was being pulled by a small tow truck that the camera crew and Greta [Gerwig] were on. So I could just open the door and basically duck out of frame. You didn't have to see anything else!"
Fans of Saoirse can look forward to seeing her in The Outrun, which is set to release on 27 September, 2024.
