WATCH: Saoirse Ronan tells Graham Norton a story about Shrek, Gerry Ryan and Florida

Rudi Kinsella

Saoirse Ronan Graham Norton

It features a very squeaky clip of a 10-year old Saoirse Ronan.

We imagine that Saoirse Ronan probably loves going on chat shows with Irish hosts.

Mostly because she knows that she won’t have to spend half the show explaining them how to pronounce her name for the 50th time…

But also because she can tell stories about growing up in Ireland in a more comfortable way than she might do otherwise.

And that’s exactly what she did on The Graham Norton Show on Friday night.

She regaled the audience with a story about the first competition she ever won, which was on Gerry Ryan’s radio station back when she was only 10-years-old.

To win the competition, you had to phone into the station and do your best impression of any character from Shrek.

She chose The Gingerbread Man, and she gave it a good go.

Timothée Chalamet was absolutely loving it, and we can’t say that we blame him.
