Paul Mescal reacted to the viral 'Graham Norton Show' moment with Saoirse Ronan about women's safety and self-defense, saying that Ronan 'hit the nail on the head' and is 'more often than not the most intelligent person in the room.

The two Oscar nominees appeared on The Graham Norton Show, where Eddie Redmayne was talking about how he trained for his role as a lone assassin, and was taught how to use a mobile phone if attacked.

Paul Mescal has finally responded to the viral moment Saoirse Ronan shut down a conversation about women’s safety on The Graham Norton Show. It was when the Irish actors were joined on the red sofa by Academy Award winners Eddie Redmayne and Denzel Washington that a joke about women and using phones as a defence tactic was tactfully shut down by Ronan.
