Saoirse Ronan Stuns Denzel Washington & Other Male Stars With Viral Response To Self-Defense Joke

Saoirse Ronan is going viral for shutting down a joke about self-defense, highlighting to several famous men the dangers women face. The actress appeared on “The Graham Norton Show” on Oct. 25 alongside actors Denzel Washington, Eddie Redmayne and Paul Mescal. The now-viral moment happened after Redmayne explained that while training for a role, he learned to use his cell phone as a weapon if he was ever attacked. Mescal and host Graham Norton then started joking back and forth that they wouldn’t think to use their phones in case of danger. “If someone actually attacked me, I’m not going to go ‘phone,’” Mescal said, while mimicking pulling out his phone from his pants pocket. After the comment Ronan chimed in, “That’s what girls have to think about all the time.”
