Ryan Gosling Hails Saoirse Ronan As The New Meryl Streep
The Hollywood heartthrob, who directed the Irish actress back in 2014 in his movie 'Lost River', has talked glowingly about his memories of working with Saoirse and reveals that he now wants to visit Ireland to hang out with her.
In an interview in yesterday's The Irish Sun on Sunday, the 'La La Land' actor said working with Saoirse helped him to improve as an actor himself, which is high praise coming from someone of his high cailbre.
"She’s a genius. She’s a master. She made me a better actor, I think any actor she works with, there’s an elevation in their abilities, upping their game," he said.
"I felt like I was working with a master," he said, "like someone from the Golden Age. Someone superior to my skills as an actor in every way. She’s Meryl reborn."
"Well actually, she’s Saoirse, that name has the same recognition like Meryl (Streep) for being the best. Because she is the best.
"So absolutely, certainly, 100 per cent, we are going to work together again, I look forward to it. I don’t know when that will be, that is one busy actor. But I know she wants to bring me to Ireland, I’m fully on board."
