Saoirse Ronan & Kristen Wiig | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

[@alex0589]

The fake laugh intro is genius.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

simple things for simple minds i guess

[@millymillymilly]

FoodforThought lol are you literally commenting on everyone’s post and talking down to them, to make your miserable life feel better? How unbelievably pathetic.

[@jeremyely]

FoodforThought Shut up

[@ljclark2177]

That's not true. In the post underneath this one FoodforThought is laughing WITH Istebrak. And he's kind of right about Alex's post; the word 'genius' is being bandied about so much these days that its losing it's true meaning. Commencing an interview with a fake laugh is not genius. But I like it!

[@millymillymilly]

Lawrence Clark, so glad to have your thoughts on the matter.

[@13rooke.]

Finally an interview that doesnt solely talk about Saoirse's name

[@TSBilliards86]

Brooke Ashley just remember it's IR not OR.

[@morganboutwell8231]

Brooke Ashley bless.

[@CrabMusicCrabMusic]

- 'how are you?' - 'nice boots' basically how everyone of my conversations start

[@dev_bistre2]

best start to an interview

[@mai.vancon]

I burst out laughing with them in the beginning, for no reason... 😆

[@millymillymilly]

amanda it’s not a warm up, it’s them making fun of fake women who do that.

[@kevinzhang8818]

OMFG. That rich white people laugh in the beginning really caught me off guard. I spilled my milk all over. LMAO

[@palakmadan2]

lol

[@da96103]

It sound more like sarcastic Mean Girls laugh. But that is also rich white teenagers right?

[@CurvyRoadsAreBetter]

well... just be sure that you don’t appropriate that laugh for yourself unless, of course, you’re rich/spoilt AND white. That way we can keep all the labels for everyone juuuuust right.

[@marcel1970x]

Maybe it helps to know that initiating a bit of laughing takes away the nervousness at the beginning of a conversation. It's an actor's trick to get in the right mindset.

[@shai.loves.tacos.]

it genuinely scared me 😂 reminded me of Chandler's work laugh 😂

[@fanuellaparera3542]

I love how Saoirse got bridemaids reference in the interview "when you're growing you're changing" haha. she's such a big fan

[@NJCUJan]

I love Saoirse's observation about woman in comedy who compose their own work around the middle of this interview. Very perceptive.

[@TheRockerX]

Saoirse's accent is so gorgeous

[@georgina4193]

CrazyMonkey1208 her Dublin,Ireland accent

[@MatchesMalone1183]

As someone from Donegal in Ireland I can tell you that a lot of people outside of Dublin find the Dublin accent very grating. There are much nicer Irish accents than a Dubs accent.

[@veronicadredd22]

funny since she grew up in county Carlow that she has a working class north dublin accent

[@MatchesMalone1183]

Both her parents are from Dublin, she lived in Dublin when she was very young, moved to Carlow for a few years, and lived in Dublin from her early teens. Of course she's been travelling all over the place since she was young for work, so a big influence from her parents accent wise would be inevitable.

[@ljclark2177]

That's true. I find her accent quite harsh. I'm from Britain.

[@saiprasad5233]

At last Saoirse Ronan with her idol Kristen Wiig ,I think Saoirse Ronan must act more in comedy movies.Everyone loves cheerful Saoirse Ronan .There is true life in both these actors

[@fairytale143]

Whoever suggested this pairing is a genius. I didn't even watch it yet. I just clicked on it. Will watch now.

[@zen3005onroobet]

Saoirse Ronan is one of the greatest actresses EVER. At a very young age too. In Atonement. She’s incredible. Talented. Unlike any other.

[@jyotishj7582]

Saoirse Ronan is next Meryl Streep of Hollywood, next all time great actress for her roles and pure natural acting .Ronan might get a minimum of 15 oscars nominations , and for sure minimum 2 oscar wins

[@mpdalyful1]

saoirse is the irish Kate winslet

[@7007pam]

Raghavendra Prasad I agree! I loved all the movies I've seen of her. Since she was a child her acting in Atonement was brilliant. She deserves the Oscar for Lady bird.

[@beckysharper2889]

Raghavendra Prasad Yes, you are probably right.

[@wrenegade6283]

Saoirse Ronan is not Irish Meryl Streep, or Kate Winslet. She's an original, and she's amazing.

[@zararafridi1051]

Saoirse is overrated

[@kalopsia7115]

there is so much love in kristen wiig's eyes as saoirse speaks and i honestly relate!!

[@talia4898]

Saoirse could literally punch a child and I would applaud her and find a way to compliment it

[@thetramp123]

She'd be so graceful with it.

[@zararafridi1051]

Yeah I would have her arrested

[@Xoxodiannnam]

Zarar Afridi I’d bail her out

[@margaritam.9118]

I would hope they’ll give her an Oscar for punching a child.

[@jp.dlamini]

Lmfao

[@JessJArt]

These two women are incredible. Kristen Wiig is such an inspiration to me, I love her work. And Saoirse is a star to keep your eye on.

[@user-yi9yh6rz2e]

Okay so when is the Wiig/Ronan collaboration movie coming out? I thought I needed it before but now it's essential for the world.

[@DiamondDaveChannel]

I have had the honour of meeting Saoirse Ronan not once but twice. The first time was in 2012 in Belfast at a Cinemagic event. From that I had a signed copy of Hanna. The second time was in 2019 when she hosted a Q&A. Having met her on two occasions I can say that not only is she a very talented and gifted actress but also a very lovely, genuine and modest human being.

[@katka2258]

Great interview, felt like I was a fly on the wall listening to two people developing a new great friendship.

[@katecrimson2730]

Saoirse’s pupils are huge in this interview! Proves just how big a fan of Kristen’s she is, as she’s said multiple times.

[@StrawberryBlonde21]

This one could go on for two hours and I would still watch the whole thing! So lovely.

[@nessybear]

I know how much saoirse loves Kristin and I love them both so win win win!!!

[@thegossipswan009]

Kristen is my favourite comedian. She's fuckin' awesome. I love them both.

[@dachshund_gaming]

thegossipswan009 holy shit watch more standup if Wiig is your favorite comedian

[@kyleroberts8823]

Jacob Harris wiig is amazing

[@jenniefeyen544]

@@dachshund_gaming dude she's not even a comedian. I'm not sure if she's even done any standup. She has an improv background and is a comedy actress. No need to be snarky.

[@sarahsmith4941]

I could listen to Soairse talk all day. Love the accent.

[@TheKominiarz]

their chemistry is amazing

[@stasmeljnikov]

Kristen Wiig doesn't age at all. I love her so much.

[@rainbowsandlove]

She’s so caught on, she’s a treasure!

[@serenitybeats1677]

She looks her age lmfao

[@millymillymilly]

No joke. My two absolute favourite fucking actresses. By a mile. THIS IS AMAZING.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

why do you have to swear. Get some class

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

Milly Borkovic - Exactly. Please stop being one

[@millymillymilly]

FoodforThought wow, you used an “I know you are, but what am I?!” comeback... how childish and sad for you.

[@23Guitardood]

Wendigo Heart I love you

[@ellalalalalalalalalalalalala]

omg this whole thing xDD

I keep rewatching the first 25 seconds over and over and over

[@IncogsinoChannel]

Saoirse................this girl is beyond her actual age I am impressed. I am about to go back and watch all of her movies!

[@JustJake26]

A lot of these Actors on Actors pairings are so well done. This duo looks like it could produce an amazing mother daughter film with powerful chemistry

[@ciram9082]

I need a mother/daughter comedy with Saoirse and Kate Winslet, tbh.

[@egyptianqueen4007]

RamCyrus yesss

[@sofiecallow350]

YES

[@rebe6132]

now they are playing lovers lol

[@esteveericmendez8826]

Lets ship this! 🤣 🤣

[@longeleven]

I once though if they remake Titanic, this Saoirse will play that Rose for Kate

[@christopherlewis7115]

I love what Saoirse is wearing.

[@LiVeLiKeURdying2]

And I absolutely cannot wait to watch Mary, Queen of Scots. I hope Variety does another Actors on Actors with Saiorse and Margot Robbie...or both together so they can reminisce and share experience of working together in a historical film.

[@koipond5011]

LiVeLiKeURdying2 They only do these with actors that haven't work together.

[@LiVeLiKeURdying2]

Nothing wrong with changing it up a bit! :) #somethingnew

[@SvobodovaEva]

It's not the best movie but damn Saoirse is AMAZING in it

[@philipocallaghan]

Koi Pond No they don't ,that's not a rule .

[@LiVeLiKeURdying2]

This was a pleasant surprise to watch! I love these two individually too. Thanks Variety!!!

[@heyday179]

it is charming how much they like each other and admire each other's work. you can feel the love in the room

[@LoveJacktm]

I swear me a Saoirse said "if you're growing, you're changing" at the exact same time omg i love them both so much

[@LAX5x5]

I needed this today. Thanks, Saoirse and Kristen.

[@justineplease5196]

Imagine saoirse's fangirling moment before and after doing this with kristen. Many of her interviews she would directly say how much she loves wiig

[@LayingInAMeadow]

I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!

[@heyster3]

A great conversation with Saoirse and Kristen. After watching this I watched saoirse and kate winslet in the video two years ago on variety. So she got the ladybird part after brooklyn.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

i love how they both have the same sense of humour

[@sibyarosalyn9770]

One of the best actors on actors. This conversation was so insightful!

[@emilyknevett4500]

life can only go downhill from this moment onwards

[@pikachu9830]

unless their buddy comedy movie is in the works!

[@888pil]

been following Saoirse's career since she was a child, gotta say she seems so much more at ease and relaxed in interviews now. she's grown into such a charming and poised woman!! and i love me some Wiig... an unlikely pair but I'm into it

[@soccerchic365]

so cool to see after Saoirse interview about Kristen Wiig being her favorite performer from SNL. I'm loving this trend of SNL fans being able to interview other SNL alums. Like Emma Stone and Molly Shannon from last year

[@LeaVionne]

THAT LAUGH IN THE BEGINNING LMAOOI

[@moviemastermarco7690]

HOW DELIGHTFUL.

[@MikePhoenix007]

I'm so happy Kristen is playing Cheetah in Wonder Woman 84. It's high time her dramatic/"serious" acting got the equal recognition as her comedy. As iconic as her comedic acting is, I feel her talent in other genres of acting doesn't get enough exposure. I'm sure she's masterful in all forms of acting.

[@moonirah123]

i just watched the skeleton twins and she's really great! can't wait to see her in WW84, i've been waiting if DC's gonna drop any teaser at NYCC

[@mexiaznann]

Wow Saiorse has been on twice! That's amazing

[@WelshBathBoy]

I love how Saoirse got 'feck' passed the censors! :D

[@kalebcollins5728]

I need a another full hour of this please

I LOVE both of them- great choice putting them together.

Thank-you ladies. You are two of my very favorite artists.

[@songbird6414]

They’re both so pretty I just cant

[@capellagonzalez5578]

I would love to see another one with Saoirse and Timothee!

[@duckdudette]

It's actually lovely to Kristen being so real. She never really does it in late night interviews.

[@jenniefeyen544]

I think she's better suited to more intimate conversations without a studio audience watching and gawking.

[@msvideos234]

Great pairing! Kristen and Saoirse are both brilliant actresses

[@thc1597]

saoirse is so smart. we really need more interviews with her that aren't about her name

[@patriciaobrien3030]

Really great vid and great pairing...love these two! Two real, multi talented talents! Saoirse, you are doing us proud! You both obviously respect each other! Loved watching this!

[@Gourgandise]

It could only open that way. Kristen is my fav actress in all Hollywood

I LOVE THESE TWO HUMANS

[@kezianathaniel2901]

Actors on actors: sole reason I'm watching Variety

[@duantorruellas716]

Both brilliant 👍 . When I saw Hanna I was blown away. It has always been a fantasy of mine to have a daughter and before I get too old , to train her to be an assassin just like in that film. And Cate blanchette was also amazing. And Wig is also amazing with her honest raw emotions. Both brilliant.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

I wish I was Saoirse, man. She seems like shes living her best life and shes so pretty. *cries self to sleep*

[@treatb09]

one of the things that made saoirse my favorite actress, were her roles weren't the stereotypical female role. i had no idea who she was. saw lovely bones, it always stuck out in my mind for it's wild artistic nature. then i saw hannah, and was blown away by it. city of ember came 3rd. n violet n daisy. then i started to realize, holy crap, this is the same girl, and i really have enjoyed all these films...i had no idea the girl that was in lovely bones was the same girl in hannah, or city of ember. they were artistic, and innocent, but extremely well done and interesting. with diversity that is hard to find in an actress. city of ember still one of my favorite movies. hannah, violet and daisy, lovely bones, grand budapest hotel, the way back, lost river, the host... shes changed the last 5 or 6 years. n has left the unique quality she once had that made me really look forward to her films. its all romance now. and i get it. it seems like shes trying to nail the romance genre. but for guys like me that don't sexually objectify her, its left me feeling lost in the sort of release her films were offering. a breath of fresh air. now choked by the stigmata of sexual appetite that ruins. shes is maturing, more womanly...everyone changes, everyone loses that innocence. i had an idea for a time traveler movie, that i think saoirse would be sensatiable in. its derived around my own original physics theories for time travel. but i'm not a writer. however, when ever i imagine the film its her as the character. n i'd love to see this performance. i've watched every time travel movie, n its nothing out there like it. except a few similarities to certain other movies.but every movie will have a similarity

[@GypsyGuyy420]

Oh my god I'm meltinggg

[@sevets2000]

Saoirse Ronan is clearly one of the great talents right now. She has that quality that the great ones have; I'm not sure what it is, she just has it. Read the book "Brooklyn" and then watch Saoirse in the movie: just fantastic.

[@ExclusiveLM]

To everyone that hasn't seen Brides Maids........... watch it !! It's a chick flick. But, men shouldn't be scared away because it is so fucking funny !! The same with Lady Bird. That movie is heart wrenching !! Good job on both of these actors great careers. Sincerely, a guy that is very discerning about movies. Frank (New York City).
