Hiding bottles from your loved one’s addiction: Irish actress Saoirse Ronan knows this from her own life. In “The Outrun” she takes the step of playing an alcoholic herself. A Berlinale interview.
At the age of 14, Saoirse Ronan already had her first Oscar nomination for Joe Wright’s “Atonement”, and she has been considered a star since Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird”. During the conversation in Berlin’s Hotel de Rome, she no longer wears her hair in a shaggy blue and red like her character in the Berlinale film “The Outrun”, and her serious black twinset also suggests that this time she is taking responsibility for the whole thing. Her blue eyes sparkle.
