Saoirse Ronan doesn’t feel famous

OHMYGOSSIP — Saoirse Ronan doesn’t think she’s famous.
The ‘Lady Bird’ star may have been nominated for three Oscars and won a string of other awards but she still feels “shocked” whenever anyone recognises her.
She said: “I still get completely shocked that anyone knows who I am…
“But I’m not . . . famous. I just genuinely don’t think I am. Selena Gomez is famous.”
The 24-year-old actress insists it’s easy for her to ignore her celebrity because she never reads about herself.
She told Vogue magazine: “If you’re not aware of how often you’re in a newspaper, then it’s like it’s not really happening.”
And Saoirse can’t even bear to watch any of her movies because it makes her “anxious”.
She said: “I just get so anxious whenever I watch anything that I’m in.
“I’m fine with the way I look now. But I wouldn’t necessarily be looking at photographs of myself all day. I don’t want to become too consumed by the image of myself.”
The ‘Brooklyn’ actress finds her work “very intimate” and has been the biggest constant in her life.
She said: “It’s very intimate. There are certain moments where it feels like it’s just you and the lens.
“It’s something that has been a very stable, consistent thing in my life. The camera has been the thing that has stuck around the longest.”
And Saoirse believes acting has made her a “better person”.
She explained: “You want to be doing something in your life that wakes you up.
“There’s something wonderful about doing the type of work that is a part of you, because you can give it everything you’ve got. And it gives so much back to you as well. You become better. You become a better person.”
