Saoirse recently opened up about the various skills she’s learned from the different roles she’s played.

“I learned how to light a fire using a piece of wood and some moss and some twine,” Saoirse told Crave. “I haven’t used it to this day.”

She continued, “I think probably one of the coolest things was probably learning martial arts for Hanna, you know, getting to do all that stuff. That was amazing. I started to do a little bit of it again now and it’s still there in my muscle memory and stuff. So that was great to do, and there was this film I was supposed to do � it ended up not getting made � but I learned horseriding and I really, really loved it. It was amazing.”
