Saoirse Ronan Reveals The Truth About Ed Sheeran's 'Galway Grill' Tattoo

Remember when Saoirse Ronan misspelled girl to grill for Ed Sheeran‘s “Galway Girl” music video?

We think maybe everyone does — and it was long believed that she tattooed it like that on accident — but we’d all be wrong.

In a new interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the Irish actress revealed that it was all planned!

“It’s not a mistake,” Saoirse admits. “Ed got up on stage about two days after we did that and said that I had made the mistake and it makes me look illiterate, and I’m here to say that it was all planned.”

She adds later, a little sarcastically, “We thought it would be funny and edgy if we misspelled girl and made it grill instead. Because we’re so clever.”

Check out the full interview below!

Saoirse is also pictured at the Lady Bird Variety Screening Series in Los Angeles on Thursday night (November 9).
