Los Angeles May 16 (IANS) Irish actress Saoirse Ronan says it can be distracting when you get "more recognisable".
The 24-year-old actress has recently emerged as one of the most in-demand young stars in Hollywood but Ronan says she is determined to stay grounded saying she doesn t want fame to distract her from her work reports femalefirst.co.uk
"I can see how it can be distracting especially when you do get a bit more recognisable and maybe you are sort of in the public eye a little bit more and stuff " the "Lady Bird" actress told online entertainment news portal ITV.
"But if you are why it is you are doing this - it should be because you love it - it keeps you quite level headed " she added.
Despite the success she has enjoyed Ronan often goes about her day-to-day life unnoticed.
She said a large number of people still don t realise that she is Irish.
"You know most people still don t know that I m Irish.
"I have a lot of people coming up to me in Ireland lately when I ve been home and friends of mine who apparently love me say that my voice is very very loud and it travels across time and space... I was in a supermarket the other day and someone was like Is it you is it yourself? "
