Many people mention super famous actors that I only got to know years after they reached stardom, so for once I’m happy to have kind of witnessed the rise of:
Saoirse Ronan
I first watched her back in 2011 as Hanna in Hanna,
I thought it was a decent action film, the dynamic between Ronan and Eric Bana was very good, and Ronan proved she could carry out an action film. Not many people know this but she performed her own stunts and trained for several months in several martial arts for the film. That amount of dedication for someone as young as her was bound to be recognized, and it was.
I remember thinking that with Hanna, Ronan would rise to stardom in no time. I hadn’t watched her in anything else so I thought it was her first film. I remember thinking that maybe we would've gotten a sequel to Hanna.
Little did I know she already had quite a career before Hanna, even earning a well deserved Oscar nomination for her role as Briony in Atonement when she was only 13 years old!
She could have ended up being just another famous child actress, but she’s become one of the best actresses in her generation!
After all, who else has had 4 Academy Award nominations under her belt with only 26 years old?
