Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan has done her absolute best to stay off social media for years, and has insisted the “self-promotion” side of online platforms has “made [her] feel really uncomfortable”.

She explained: “It’s too much work for me and too stressful. I’ve developed a kind of distant relationship with my phone and technology over the last couple of years. I get why musicians do it, and journalists or people in the public eye. But acting is a different thing, ’cause you’re not yourself when you’re working. I’m not me in anything that anyone sees me in. So for me then to get on Twitter and go, ‘Oh, I’ve had a terrible day’ or ‘God, I’ve got such a headache,’ I just don’t think people need to see that.”
