Paul Mescal breaks his silence after THAT awkward moment with Saoirse Ronan

Show last week.

Saoirse, 30, set social media alight during Friday’s appearance on the show when she made a remark about gender-based violence while sat alongside an otherwise all-male panel of Paul,

During the chat, Eddie, 42, explained that amid his training for The Day of the Jackal, an upcoming Peacock miniseries, he received instruction on how to use a phone to retaliate in the event of an attack.

Paul then joked: ‘Who is actually going to think about that? If someone actually attacked me, I’m not going to go “phone.”‘

Graham mimicked holding a phone to fend off an assailant, saying, ‘Can you hold on a second?’ to which Eddie said, ‘That’s a very good point.’

Having been talked over in the chat, Saoirse finally found a moment to speak and declared: ‘That’s what girls have to think about all the time.’

The brutally honest comment prompted a moment of silence from the panel.

‘Am I right, ladies?’ she then asked the crowd, eliciting a huge round of applause from the studio audience.
