Paul Mescal has said Saoirse Ronan "hit the nail on the head" when she spoke about women’s safety, in a clip that went viral.

In an appearance on the Irish broadcaster RTE's The Late Late Show, he said that she was "spot on" and that he was "not surprised that the message received as much attention that it got, because it's massively important and I'm sure you've had Saoirse on the show, she's quite often, more often than not, the most intelligent person in the room. [...] And it's also good that messages like that are kind of gaining traction, like that's a conversation that we should absolutely be having on a daily basis."

Saoirse Ronan, meanwhile, in an appearance on Virgin Radio UK, said that "the reaction has been wild. [...] I do think there is something really telling about the society that we're in right now and about how open women want to be with the men in their lives. [...] It felt very similar to when I'm at dinner with a bunch of my friends and I will always make the point that this is actually an experience that we go through every single day, 100% of the time. And Paul, being one of my very dear friends, I've had conversations like that with him before and he completely gets that and completely understands that."
