Saoirse’s second career? Teenage assassin

IRISH actress Saoirse Ronan has revealed she is set to star as a teenage assassin once again in her next Hollywood role.

The 17-year-old Carlow star has just wrapped up filming the role of a hit girl opposite Sopranos star James Gandolfini in dark comedy, Violet and Daisy.

Saoirse is currently riding high on the success of Hanna, which tells the story of a teenage assassin who has been trained to kill since childhood. In an interview with Ryan Tubridy yesterday, she joked about fears of getting typecast. She said: “Violet and Daisy is about two teenage assassins. I am going to be typecast from now on. They’re hit-girls and are best friends. It’s set in New York city and it’s a black comedy so it’s completely different straight away from Hanna.”
