Saoirse Ronan Has Revealed Plans To Take Time Out From The Movie Industry

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan has revealed that she's planning on taking some time out from the movie industry in the near future.

Currently on the promotional trail for Lady Bird, a movie for which she has received a Golden Globe nomination, the 23-year-old has told the Irish Independent about her plans to enjoy life more in between movie projects.

She said:

"I've always loved acting so much but it's all I've ever known. And I had a panic recently where I thought I've got to go do other things.

"I've got to go travel. I even find when I'm working, I can't read, I can't watch TV, I can't do anything. I guess I can listen to podcasts, but I can't really be stimulated by anything other than the projects. Your world becomes so small."

Coming-of-age drama Lady Bird has been receiving rave reviews and generating a lot of Oscar buzz recently ahead of its release in Ireland on February 16.

If Saoirse is true to her word, it might be the last time we get a glimpse of her talents for a while and you can get a sample of her critically-acclaimed performance in the trailer below.

Lady Bird is Ronan's 21st performance in a feature film while her next roles will be in 2018's The Seagull and Mary Queen Of Scots.
