Saoirse Ronan had to 'convince' husband Jack Lowden it was a good idea for them to work together

Saoirse Ronan had to "convince" her husband Jack Lowden to work together.

The 30-year-old actress first started dating her husband, 34, in 2018 after they met on the set of 'Mary Queen of Scots', and while he is a producer on her new movie 'The Outrun', she would like to collaborate more on the screen and stage.

Revealing that Jack is coming round to the idea, she told USA Today: "Jack didn’t want to for a long time, but I’ve now convinced him that’s a great idea.

"I’d really like to do something together on stage."

She described Jack as her "voice of reason", while they have a similar outlook on how a movie set should feel for the actors.

She added: "Jack is a lot calmer than I am. He’s my voice of reason.

“But as a duo, we’ve both been on film sets our whole lives, so we have an appreciation of what we’re asking actors to do. We always want them to feel safe.”

Despite his earlier reservations, Jack recently admitted he hopes they can continue making films together in the future.

He told The Times newspaper it's "not ideal" when both partners are away for long periods filming, adding: "Making work together solves that problem, so that’s another reason why we want to do more together. 'The Outrun' gave us such a taste for it. And it can be a lonely thing, this profession."
