'He was my eyes and ears': Saoirse Ronan opens up on working relationship with husband Jack during Late Late Show interview

Saoirse Ronan met her husband Jack Lowden while working on a film together in 2018, six years later they are back working together on the new film, The Outrun

Saoirse Ronan has heaped praise on her new husband Jack Lowden on RTÉ’s Late Late Show as she shared a look into their relationship working together.

Four-time Oscar nominee Ronan wed the Scottish actor in a private Edinburgh ceremony this summer, after first meeting on the set of Mary Queen of Scots in 2018.

Saoirse is the star of the new film The Outrun, which she co-produced with her husband. While many people prefer to keep their relationship and work lives separate, the Carlow native sees it as a bonus.

She said: "When you have a personal relationship with someone and you're in the same field, you respect one another and you've got the same taste and you expect the best from yourself, to have that other person there believing in you - but also pushing you [to do well] - is great."

"He was my eyes and ears," she shared with host Patrick on the Late Late Show. When I was on set he could keep an eye on what I was doing because so much of it was improv.

"To have Jack there to say, 'You're going down the right path,' or 'Don't do that,' it was great because I completely trust him. It was a great experience."

Saoirse plays a Scottish woman from Orkney in The Outrun and admits her husband was brutally honest when it came to giving her advice on how to do the accent.

She added: "His accent is very different to the Orcadian accent, which is almost like a Geordie Nordic accent, it's mad.

"I tried it with the dialect coach. I thought it was going well, she left and he was like, 'You're not doing that are you?'. It's very difficult to nail that accent."
